Just Jot January - 2020 - Song Lyric Sunday Edition

Okay, our task for today is to link the #JusJoJan prompt from Jim of Gobbledegook and his #SLS challenge of songs by Tom, Dick or Harry.  Can she do it folks? 

My song is "It Had To Be You" as sung by Harry Connick Jr. for the movie "When Harry Met Sally."  I haven't seen the movie in a long time and I think I'd like to see it again.   

It Had to Be You (Big Band and Vocals)
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
could make me be true
Could make me be blue
or even be glad Just to be sad
thinking of you
Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

While I was researching this song, I found another clip of his where he sang a song he wrote for his wife.  How romantic.  I think I'd have been a sobbing mess though.  She handles it really well.   



And then I found that he sang the song, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," which is the biggest bunch of gobbledegook I've ever heard. 




All this before 9 AM, plus I walked the dog.  And you thought I couldn't do it!  Happiest of Sundays to you.

  2. Hi, Janet!

    Mrs. Shady and I were on the road today and arrived a short while ago at our destination across the state. We hauled another load of belongings in advance of the big move. I wanted to stop in and check out today's post before starting my blog break.

    I enjoyed the three performances by Harry Connick Jr. He is one of Mrs. Shady's favorite entertainers. We both love the movie When Harry Met Sally. (You get double points for Harry as the recording artist and the movie title.) I'll bet Jill (Mrs. Harry Connick Jr) was the envy of every woman in that studio audience as her handsome hubby serenaded her with a silky smooth love song. I remember Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke singing the nonsensical "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in Disney's Mary Poppins.

    I wish you and Benny well in the weeks ahead, dear friend Janet. I'll see you when I return next month!
