Frank Sinatra "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die"


And don't make me come back here . . .

Kids.

Jeez.

"I'm gonna live til I die" by Zalex. But Zalex sounds a bit strange. I will try to look it up. Ah, Frank Sinatra, it seems so obvious now.

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

I always loved Frank Bennett's cover of Creep, which turns it into a Sinatra crooning by the numbers job. Sadly no video that I can post.

DJ Maximus 3000 wasn't in Wikipedia just yet, but I found this bio:

And there is also his site:

I just assumed that everyone did. But, at the same time, and you have to consider that I love this guy, he seems to really get across the suffering and the sorrow to me, WHILE dressed all in white in a white man's heaven. I don't think the irony was lost on Sinatra.

Kind of crazy set--all white musicians etc. But listen to what Sinatra does at the end of the line: "get a little drunk and you land in (takes a giant breath) in jail . . ." It is to cry over. Amazing.

From Wikipedia:

Barton Lee Hazlewood (born July 9, 1929 in Mannford, Oklahoma) is an American country singer, songwriter, and record producer....

Following discharge from the military, Hazlewood worked as a disc jockey whilst honing his songwriting skills. Among his early hits was The Fool recorded by rockabilly artist Sanford Clark. Hazlewood also worked with pioneering rock guitarist Duane Eddy.

Hazlewood is perhaps most famous for writing the Nancy Sinatra hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". However, his own output has also achieved a cult status in the underground rock scene, with songs covered by artists such as Lydia Lunch, Primal Scream, Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and Boyd Rice.

Hazlewood has a distinctive baritone voice that adds an ominous resonance to his music. Hazlewood's collaborations with Nancy Sinatra as well as his solo output in the late 1960s and early 1970s have been praised as an essential contribution to a sound often described as 'Cowboy Psychedelia' or 'Saccharine Underground'. In 2006 Lee sung for Bela B's first solo album "Bingo" the song "Lee Hazlewood und das erste Lied des Tages" ("Lee Hazlewood and the first song of the day").

In 2006 he was diagnosed with terminal renal cancer with a life expectancy of less than one year.

what maudlin said.

It is interesting that the only web sites that reference the man and his band are the ones created for the joke. One thing I know about Fundie Youth Minister Promise Keeper types, they leave their droppings all over the ChristianWeb.

Another good poker tell of the spoof is the 'Gay Bands' page on the website. Some funny anomalies like Jay-Z, Eminem (misspelled), Frank Sinatra (heh), and the best tell of all "Morrissey (?Questionable?)"

Using a dramatic combination of music, water and light, the Bellagio delivers spectacular performances with its majestic fountains.

Every evening, time briefly seems to stop in front of the Bellagio. Running every 15 minutes or every half-hour, depending on the time of year, the animated fountains are impossible to simply walk past. Cleverly orchestrated to a variety of songs -- from "One, Singular Sensation," featured on Broadway, to "Fly Me To The Moon," written by Bart Howard and made famous by Frank Sinatra -- the fountains appear to come to life with every note.

Spanning across the quarter-mile-long lake in front of the Bellagio, the free show generally lasts between five and 10 minutes. However, performances are hindered by inclement weather.

The fountains were created by WET Design, a Southern California firm responsible for other well-known displays of water and light, including the LeapFrog Fountain at Disney World's EPCOT, the Sky Rockets at Chicago's Navy Pier and the Universal CityWalk Fountain.

The $40 million Bellagio fountain show is equipped with 1,200 nozzles and 4,500 lights, making it the most expensive and ambitious water feature the company ever has done.

The Bellagio fountains have been made famous through appearances on the silver screen. The fountains were most notably highlighted in the remake of "Ocean's Eleven," starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

To complement the fountain design, provided by WET Design's Claire Kahn, the Bellagio brought in outside professionals to develop the show, including composer/conductor Gerard Schurmann ("Lawrence of Arabia") and choreographer Kenny Ortega ("Dirty Dancing").

The range of movement across the lake is varied; some of the movement is continuous, responding to the smooth passages of music, while other water jets are rapidly pulsing, reaching heights as high as 240 feet.

With a wide array of musical selections and choreography, you could easily sit in front of the fountains all night and never see the same performance twice. Even those in passing cars on the Strip feel compelled to pull to the side and take in the show.

Shame on you - that's clearly Tony Bennett, not Frank Sinatra.

You kids today, with your rock 'n' roll...;)

Wow, recognized the opening sample, "These Boots are Made For Walkin'" Nancy Sinatra-Funky!
