I read the whole Wiki article about how this song came about, and it’s pretty interesting. You can find it … here
But, here are a few tidbits:
…They began writing the song on {a} tour bus, and continued later that night at their hotel
…unusually for a love song, the lyrics are not about the narrator’s love for someone else; instead the narrator functions as a helpful go-between for estranged lovers
The “yeah, yeah, yeah” refrain proved an immediate, infectious musical hook.
“She Loves You”, by the Beatles, was released as a single in 1963. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and is on the Capitol – Swan, and Parlophone labels.
[Outro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know, sometimes I get to thinking about some of the clothes I’ve had over the years, and wondering whatever happened to them. I don’t still have them, so where did they go?
If they were totally worn out, I’m sure I threw them away. If I was just tired of them, and they were still good, I know I donated them to the thrift stores collections.
But others, I just don’t know.
I remember some for liking them a lot, or because of some memory they hold. For two examples, I had a couple of dresses I hated. This was back when I was in elementary school. I didn’t have much choice in my clothes back then, as my mom bought them, so I wore them.
One was a pretty sky blue shift type dress, with shoulder epaulets of a multi-color fabric. It was okay, but I got teased from other kids that it made me look like a football player with big shoulders. I tried not to wear it very much.
Another was blue and white, dropped waist with plaid. It had a little collar and a plaid tie in front. That was another I didn’t like, because I figured girls didn’t wear ties. I (in secret) yanked on that tie until it ripped the whole thing apart. Never had to wear it again.
Years later, I sewed my own clothes after I learned how. I liked all of them, as they were my own creation. I got to choose the pattern and fabric. I even combined patterns to make original, new kinds of clothes.
I had one dress I really liked, but it got stolen. This was after I was married. I wore it to a relative’s house we were visiting for a week or so. I know who did it – my husband’s cousin – but I couldn’t prove it.
Another thing got stolen off the clothesline. It was a black t-shirt that I’d done fabric painting on, of feathers, and added embellishments of real feathers and beads. A neighborhood kid stole it. Couldn’t prove that either, but his sister told me he did.
Anyway, it’s interesting what remains in our memories.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ght.” Find a word that contains the letters “ght” in that order, and use it any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use three or more different words containing those letters. Have fun!

I’m fraught with thought to think I ought to post a post of laughter
Caught within the ‘ght’ a night of fright
Bright ideas did not delight
Right about midnight I was taught
A regular post might be better

Yep, that’s me trying to cram a bunch of words with ‘ght’ into something … something …
And that was 13 of the ‘ght’ words. Oooh number 13!
Is that still the height (or heighth) of superstition, now that Halloween is past?

And now I’m back from a breakfast break. I look at the ‘ght’ words and they look funny. Seems the more you look at a word, or repeat a word it gets to being strange. Does that happen to you? Then you question whether it’s spelled right.
Height doesn’t look right, but I looked it up, and it is. I thought a rule (most of the time) was that i comes before e, but it doesn’t in this word. Hmmm Still looks wrong.
Oh yeah, I was reading in my book while eating breakfast. It’s the 6th of a series called the ‘Gone’ books, by Michael Grant. The title of this one is “Light”. A good case for serendipity! 🙂
This little potted plant is called an ornamental pepper. There are red, orange, and darker peppers, and green leaves. I read that it does produce white flowers. Also, the peppers are edible, but are extra hot.
I saw this in the floral department at the store, so hope it counts as a flower of the day.
I know my mom had one of these a long time ago. It was a cute and interesting plant.
1. What’s a cyclops? *** A clop is a sound a horse makes when he is walking. There once was a horse named Cy, and he did a lot of clopping, so they named it after him.
2. What’s next in this sequence? Y, G, B, B, *** There was a chain of variety stores called T. G. & Y, a long time ago. They’ve since gone out of business, so the B B means Bye-Bye.
3. Patty has 4 apples and Pete pinched a pair. What do Patty and Pete have now? *** Bruised cheeks. This sounds like a math puzzle – I don’t do math puzzles.
4. How would an alien describe sheep? *** Fluffy clouds on the ground.
5. What is Fool’s Gold? *** It’s a crayon. The color is gold, but it will fool you by turning another color without notice.
6. Ginger, Scary, Posh, Sporty and Baby were the original Spice Girls. If you were to audition to be a sixth Spice, what would you be and why? Guys you can answer this one too! *** I’d be Spirit Spice – I’d bring a lot of spirit to the group, and if it bombed, I’d disappear since I’m a ghost.
7. Why are traditional teapots brown? *** Because if you turn the word around to ‘pot-tea’ you’ll know why. Nobody wants to see those kinds of stains.
8. What are the Winds of Change? *** Zephyrs – they swirl around leaving magic in their wake.
9. What is an amaryllis? *** A girl who lives in Amarillo TX is known as an amayrllis.
10. What are blues and twos? *** The sounds that shoes make – a squeaky, yet mournful sound.
