A Meeting Before a Wedding--Belle and Patrick

@timeguardians

Continued from HERE

“Alluring, huh?” Amusement twinkles in Patrick’s eyes at her choice of words as he holds still against her touch. “I admit, that’s the first time someone’s called me ‘alluring’ before. Normally they pick other adjectives, and they aren’t nearly so nice.” Though, he has to admit that the tables could be turned. As soon as word hit the streets about who the matchmaker picked for him, he had multiple guys telling him that he had scored the most beautiful woman in the village. Those words had not even begun to do Belle justice. She is not just beautiful. She is stunning, with a deep, warm intelligence in her brown eyes that he finds captivating. Patrick does not mind her hand resting against his jawline, but when he feels the pressure from her fingers starting to turn his head, he finds himself instinctively resisting. It is an old reaction, one he developed soon after he received the injury. He is one of the nation’s heroes, but the powers that be made it clear to him that no one wanted to know what the real cost of victory was. In official photos of his unit, and other events, they purposely staged him so that the uninjured right side of his face was toward the camera. Even just walking around in public, the bayonet wound drew stares and whispers. His first instinct is to pull away from her, but her request for permission makes him pause. She will see the scar sooner or later—they are getting married after all. If she finds it so repulsive that she cannot bear he sight of it, it is better to learn that now on their first meeting, then to discover it on the wedding day, or in the nuptial bed. The soldier finally relaxes his muscles and allows her to turn his head so she can see the red, ragged scar running along the left side of his face from the corner of his eye down into the flesh of his cheek, where it veered abruptly back toward the corner of his jaw. The bottom zig came when he rolled away from his attacker, and managed to kill the man. The bayonet traced the line of his escape move, leaving it forever embedded in his flesh.

“I warn you though… my full face is hardly a fit sight for a woman’s eyes. Especially ones as gorgeous as yours.”

Okay, so Vocal Coaches are amazing. They give you personalized advice for singing based on your own voice and it’s great.

However, if you can’t get a vocal coach, it’s possible to learn through observation. This gets a bit tricky since it’s very easy to fall into mimicking other people’s voices, which isn’t healthy/sustainable for most singing purposes. Ideally, you want to mimic the technique, not the voice. Now, a good thing to do when you want to learn new techniques is to find singers who have voices similar to yours and see what they do.

If they have a similar voice to yours, the vocal maneuvers that are healthy for them have a better chance of translating over to you.

You can track them to find more fun songs to sing.

When looking for these singers, match your voice types, vocal timbres, and preferred music genre.

Voice types are: Soprano (High Female), Mezzo Soprano (Middle Female), Alto (Low Female), Tenor (High Male), Baritone (Middle Male), Bass (Low Male)

Some things that describe vocal timbres are: “Bright” (Sounds higher, more youthful. Think 1937 Snow White for high female voices, 1997 Anastasia for lower female voices. The closer it sounds to Spongebob or a Wicked Witch, the brighter it is), “Warm” or “Dark” (Sounds like it has depth, a little more mature. Think 1959 Sleeping Beauty for soprano voices, 1950 Cinderella for Mezzo or Alto Voices. The closer it sounds to a Femme Fatale character or to Patrick Warburton, the darker it is), and there are more but I don’t know the technical terms. If a voice type is a range, then a timbre is the way a voice sounds within that range.

I haven’t heard a song that wasn’t from a musical since 2016, so all my examples of singers are broadway or movie musical stars. I have blind spots. You can find more people using your ears, a recording of your own singing, and a radio/music streaming service.

[avictimofthejazz]

“Stop sliding down the stairs!” Patrick Michaels bellows at two of the older children as they insist on using the staircase like a jungle gym. If they keep on like that, they’re going to get the younger kids to follow them, and someone’s going to end up breaking their head open. “Conall, go get your siblings off there. Someone’s at the door and I have to answer it.” Conall Junior, the oldest son of his late brother, nods tiredly and goes to round up the rowdy children. Pat has the three littlest ones on him. The baby is tucked against his shoulder and trying to chew his collar off to relieve the persistent pain of teething, and the twin toddlers are latched to each of his legs in what they think is a fun game of hanging on. He is just wondering how in the world he got saddled with seven kids, ranging from eleven to six months. When Conall and his wife died, they were left in his care. He had agreed to that arrangement when Conall Jr. was born, assuming that it would never be something he needed to worry about. There was no reason to suspect that both parents would be ripped from this world in their early thirties, the victims of a rainy road, and a drunk driver careening around the flooded corner. It is a miracle he was fit to take the responsibility too. Just three weeks earlier, the doctor at the veteran’s hospital had given him a clean bill of health after his ordeal in the war, and six months as a prisoner. While staying with his parents, and trying to decide what to do with his life now that the military had discharged him, he abruptly got a new purpose handed to him. One that is now trying to overwhelm him. Reaching the door, he pulls it open, and stares at the bedraggled figure standing in the sheltered space. “Hello?” He manages to get the word past his astonishment. The woman explains her purpose, and abruptly he remembers the ad his mother said she would place with several of the agencies. Conall had hired a nanny to help the family, but she left when they died. She insisted it would not be proper to keep working in a home where her new employer was a single man—but the rumor he heard was that she had received a far more lucrative offer from a widowed billionaire who only had one child. Somehow it was not improper for her to work for that single man… but Patrick had no time to waste being annoyed with a person long gone. Viona insists that Patrick needs another one. Even with Mrs. Potts helping with meals and cleaning the house, he cannot work his full-time job, and keep all of the kids organized at the same time. “Oh, thank you God. I am looking for a live-in nanny.” he blurts out prayerfully, and reaches to snag her elbow and pull her into the hallway with his free hand. “Only…” he winces as a burst of noise comes from the room he just left. It sounds like the seven- and eight-year-old are fighting with Conall about getting off the stairs. The five-year-old twins appear to be refereeing, or egging their siblings on.

“It’s not three kids. It’s seven. I suspect my mother said ‘three’ because ‘seven’ is a much more intimidating number.” That will be the kicker right there. She will probably stare at him like a deer caught in the headlights for several minutes, take one look at the pandemonium in the house, and bail. Honestly, he will not blame her if she does.

Sound of Music AU Pat & Belle

@avictimofthejazz (preplotted)

The ever-darkening night is awash in torrents of rain leaving the lone house that she intended to visit with radiant, warm, glowing windows. She pulls the sopping hood off her dark strands and sucks in a tremulous inhale.

Most people in need of nannies have turned her away-- and this, this was the last HOUSE that had advertized a need on her list. Belle's trembling hand hesitates just above the door, for the anticipation of being sent away is already etched into her very next breath. Summoning up every ounce of courage left in her form, she KNOCKS.

"Pardon me for calling on your house so late, Monsieur. You see," Belle nervously rings her hands, "I was-- was informed by the agency that you require a live-in nanny for three children? I- I should like to fill that position." She pauses. "U-- unless it has already been filled, of course. In which case, I do not wish to take up more of your time." She clumsily ambled. Her eyes drift sheepishly downwards, having briefly collided with his stunnig orbs.

THE  DOGS  IN  SHERLOCK'S  MIND PALACE

In The Hounds of Baskerville Sherlock mentions for the first time the existance of his mind palace and the audience can watch him enter that palace consciously and on purpose. He is looking for possible meanings of the terms  ‘Liberty  In  Hound’. Browsing the word HOUND Sherlock brings to light two special breeds of dogs and 'Hound Dog’. That's a collective term for various hunting dogs and it is also the title of a very distinctive song adapted by Elvis Presley in the 50s. 

"There has to be something ... something ... ah, something ... something buried deep."  (Sherlock, THOB)

WOLFHOUND     RIDGEBACK     HOUND DOG

Someone made the desicion to use exactly these dog breeds and this song for Sherlock's mind palace. Which is very interesting because those choices are rather exceptional. Mostly because there are clearly other possible options for more popular hunting dogs or dogs with a closer link to the story itself .... like ...

The Setter ... THOB starts with an Irish Setter. Redbeard is of the same breed. Why not use one for the mind palace in THOB too? Would that have been to obvious?

The Foxhound ... is probably the best known British hunting dog. Considering that Jim Moriarty uses a tiepin shaped like a fox head later in the story (TRF Trial) .... now, that would have been a lovely connection.

The Greyhound ... is mentioned in Shakespeare's Henry V ... “I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start!"   That passage is cited by Sherlock in TLD. Why not use the Greyhound for the mind palace instead of the Wolfhound? What would have been the difference?

The Spaniel ... Paddy, Sherlock's new puppy mentioned on Twitter, the one with the Irish name (Patrick), is an English Springer Spaniel. Additionally there exists  also a Shakespeare reference to a spaniel in Two Gentleman of Verona, Act 3, Scene 1, Launce:

"He lives not now  that knows me to be in love;                                             yet I am in love; but a  team of horse shall not pluck that from me;              nor who ’tis I love; and yet ’tis a woman;                                                       but what woman, I will not tell myself;                                                           and yet ’tis a milkmaid; yet ’tis not a maid, for she hath had gossips;           yet ’tis a maid, for she is her master’s maid, and serves for  wages.           She hath more qualities than a water-spaniel; which is much in a bare Christian."

The Basset ... Elvis Presely once performed the song 'Hound Dog' in the presence of a Basset. And Elvis is mentioned a second time in TLD ... as an example of someone who can be recognized solely by his first name, just like Napoleon or Sherlock himself.  And of course, there is Shakespeare once again ... he refers to dogs that are supposedly the ancestors of the Basset in A Midsummer Nights Dream, Act IV, Scene 1, Theseus:

“My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind, So flewed, so sanded, and their heads are hung With ears that sweep away the morning dew, Crook-kneed, and dew-lapped like Thessalian bulls, Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells, Each under each. A cry more tunable Was never hollaed to, nor cheered with horn, In Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly. Judge when you hear.”

The Bloodhound ... In ACDs story 'The sign of four' Sherlock Holmes himself is compared to a bloodhound by Dr.Watson. And exactly this quote is mentioned in TSOT (X).  Rachel Talalay gifted the crew of Sherlock BBC with a T-shirt displaying a Bloodhound and a shark, arranged very similar as the symbol of Yin and Yang. Toby the Bloodhound appears in TST. Furthermore the ancestor of the Bloodhound is the above mentioned Basset. A Bloodhound for the mind palace would have been quite a logical choice.

And what about Beagle, Pointer, Terrier, Retriever or Labrador? (Nice cameo appearance for Mark's dog  Bunsen? :)))  Really, there are a lot of possibilities and options ... yet the choice fell on Ridgeback, Wolfhound and 'Hound Dog'. Why?

Let's take a closer look at the 'dogs' of Sherlock's mind palace then.

Ridgeback isn't the full name of the dog breed shown on screen. There exist two other variations of Ridgebacks but both have pointy ears, which makes it easy to classify the first dog in Sherlock's mind palace. This is .....

The Rhodesian Ridgeback

The European forebears of that breed can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa, who crossed their dogs with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi. These native dogs, though described as ugly, were noted for their ferocity when acting as guard dogs. The descendents of those dogs, formerly called Boer Hounds, became the forerunners to the modern Rhodesian Ridgeback.

These imposing dogs are known to be loyal, intelligent, sensitive and athletic. Originally, Rhodesian Ridgback's were used for hunting meat, to defended the cattle herds, staff, and homesteads ... even from lions. And because of their ability to keep a lion at bay while awaiting its master's arrival to make the kill, the Rhodesian Ridgback is also known as Van Rooyen's Lion Dog or the African Lion Hound or African Lion Dog.  (X)

The African Lion Hound! What a surprise! Of all the available hunting dogs, someone decided to put exactly a Lion Hound into Sherlock's mind palace. The lion .... this big 'yellow' feline ... is closely connected to John Watson throughout the whole story. (X  X)  In the zodiac, the lion is a sun sign and the sun is also assigned to John ... Sherlock's 'conductor of light'. And similar to John, who is a soldier AND a doctor, the lioness-headed egypt goddess Sekhmet (TGG) is also a goddess of war AND healing, who bears the solar disc on her head. 

A lot of 'coincidences'?  Well, on to the next dog.  :)

Again .... 'Wolfhound' isn't the full name of this dog. But there is only one dog calld Wolfhound, therefore the classification is easy. This is  ...

The Irish Wolfhound

The breed is very old; there are suggestions it may have been brought to Ireland as early as 7000 BC. They originally developed from Celtic war hounds to one used for hunting and guarding. Irish Wolfhounds can be an imposing sight due to their formidable size. They are considered to be the largest dogs in the world and are also called Irish Hound, War Dog or Wolf Dog. The name Wolfhound originates from its purpose ... wolf hunting with dogs.

The character of a Wolfhound is most easily described by its historical motto, “gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked". As they are often friendly with strangers they are not very reliable as watchdogs. However, when protection is required this dog is never found wanting and displays its fearless nature.  (X)

Regarding Sherlock BBC there are two strong connections to the Irish Wolfhound.

1 - THE WOLF - the winged wolf with the roses who is tattoed onto the brest of the addict in the drugs den in HLV. Tattooed onto a man who is most likely a mirror for Sherlock. The symbolism is quite fitting in my opinion. 

'The way this wolf is presented doesn't convey the feeling of agression, evil or danger. Quite the contrary. It appears to be strong and calm, an expression of wisdom in ist eyes. The wolf represents our instinctive nature, basic animal instincts ... everything that is wild and free and independent. Even more so a wolf with wings. The winged wolf is able to fly .... becomes his own 'pilot' ... is able to break free and soar the skies. And the roses? Roses have been the ultimate sign for love since Aphrodite was born from the seafoam.'  (That's just my own interpretation of that tattoo.)

The wolf is also strongly connectet to the moon ... just like Sherlock himself, the 'lunatic', ... from the rooftop in PILOT/ASIP to the graveyard at the end of TFP. Originally the term 'lunatic' was used for someone who went crazy with every phase of the moon ... like a werewolf.  :)

2 - THE HOUND ... the second connection can be found on the brest of another man ... the H.O.U.N.D. symbol on Dr.Franklands garment. I never gave much attention to the ferociously snarling animal displayed there ... 'the hound' ... until I began researching the 'hounds' in Sherlock's mind palace:

If I'm not very much mistaken then the canine representing H.O.U.N.D.  ,,,,, is indeed an Irish Wolfhound ... probably 'in action' and its ears flapping backwards.  (Source of pic)

H.O.U.N.D. represents the drug which stimulates fear ... Sherlock's (Henry's) very own, very deepest und most basic fear. And when that monstrous creature awakens and turns up in Dewer's Hollow, with glowing red eyes ... a man emerges out of the poisoned fog .... and Sherlock stares into the face of ... Jim Moriarty. 

African Lion Hound and Irish Wolfhound.  Indeed! What an interesting choice for Sherlock's mind palace! The hounds humans bred to keep lion and wolf at bay.

Is this another version of ... John or James? But this time symbolized with dogs?  Well, let's look at the third 'dog' then ... the HOUND ...

The meaning of 'hound dog'

DOGS:  a dog of any of numerous hunting breeds including both scent hounds (such as the bloodhound and beagle) and sight hounds (such as the greyhound and wolfhound)

PERSONS:  someone mean or despicable who pursues like a hound, affects by persistent harassing and annoys without ceasing. Or someone who avidly seeks to collect something  (I think one could call Jim indeed rather annoying. :))

ELVIS:  he adapted the song Hound Dog in the 50s. At one time he performed it alongside with a Basset. But neither Basset nor Bloodhound turn up in Sherlock's mind palace. Instead he hears the first chord of 'Hound Dog' and the face of Elvis Presley overlays his own. Therefore I guess it is the song and not a dog which is the important bit in that deduction. 

And 'Hound Dog' - performed by Elvis - has indeed an interesting history.

On the first TV performance of 'Hound Dog' (The Milton Berle Show, June 5, 1956) Elvis started the song up-tempo but after the third verse he slowed it down for a steamy, hip-pumping final verse. The kids in the crowd went wild, but so did the press in the days that followed. Television critics across the country slamed the performance for its "vulgarity" and "animalism." And for the first time Elvis was attacked in the media as "sexual exhibitionist". With 'Hound Dog' and the way Elvis performed that song, his tabloid nickname was born: 'Elvis the pelvis' ... and his performance was declared as "unfit for family viewing." From now on Elvis was filmed consequently from the waist up. In short ... the way Elvis presented Hound Dog to the audience turned the song into a highly sexually charged piece of music. 

Watch that performance here if you like.  :)

But there is much more to tell about Hound Dog ....

.... because for all the silliness of it's text, there's a not-so-tame edge to the song's back story. Co-writer Jerry Lieber admitted decades later, the song's most famous line was just code for 'You ain't nothing but a m***** f*****'.

Elvis Presley made the song famous, but it wasn't actually written for him.  In 1952 Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller gave the song to the big voiced R&B artist Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton. Whatever Hound Dog eventually became, it was written as a conventional blues number and in the hands of Thornton, it was a thunderous and lyrically racy song about some no good hound dog of a man about to be kicked to the curb.

You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' round my door You can wag your tail But I ain't gonna feed you no more.

Thornton's recording soared to the top of the R&B charts, but it needed to be cleaned up before it would be ready for mainstream audiences of the 50s. Freddie Bell and the Bell Boys did exactly that in 1955. They replaced the racy with the ridiculous, turned a declaration of no more sex ("You can wag your tail but I ain't gonna feed you no more") into a reprimand for poor hunting skills ("Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine"). It was a crowd pleaser when they performed in Las Vegas in 1956. That's where Elvis heard it, liked it, and asked if he could record it. But before the recording Elvis' test-drove' the song on the Milton Berle Show.  (X)

Isn't it interesting that Sherlock has stored precisely this song in his mind palace? Or more precisely .... that someone decided to put exactly this song in his MP .... In the MP of the man who says: "This is my hard drive, and it only makes sense to put things in there that are useful ... really useful."  

Sooo .... Hound Dog apparently belongs to those things that are really, really useful for Sherlock? Looks like Hound Dog is even more important and useful than the solar system ... because Hound Dog didn't get 'deleted'.  Interesting! :))))

Hound Dog is the last thing that turns up in Sherlock's MP session at Baskerville. He stops afterwards. All the previously viewed data rushes through his mind again in quick speed - only partially visible for the audience even if you go shot by shot  (that's when I sumbled over the WATSON in Sherlock's mind palace :)))  Finally only two words remain between Sherlock's hands ...

Hound ... dog ...

And that's the moment when Sherlock draws his final conclusion ...  HOUND ..... PROJECT HOUND ....

I leave you to your own deductions. Thanks @callie-ariane for the scripts.

Fall 2017 Pride Readings

Fall is finally here and with it comes LGBT History Month in October. To celebrate, I’ve compiled a list of books with queer main characters. All books have been/will be published in the second half of 2017. Feel free to add more titles!

The Gallery of Unfinished Girls by Lauren Karcz- A young artist must take care of herself and her younger sister when her mother rushes off to Puerto Rico to take care of her grandmother who has fallen into a coma. She’s also falling in love with her best friend. While struggling with her art, a new neighbor introduces her to the Red Mangrove Estate, an artists’ colony. The catch? No art can leave the Estate.

Little and Lion by Brandy Colbert- Colbert’s sophomore novel is about a black, Jewish, bisexual girl named Suzette and her brother Lionel who fall in love with the same girl. Lionel struggles with bipolar disorder and adjusting to his medication. If you haven’t read Colbert’s first novel, Pointe, run to your nearest bookstore/ereader and buy it! It’s amazing!

Dress Codes for Small Towns by Courtney Stevens- This book holds a special place in my southern, living in the small town, queer heart. Billie is the daughter of a preacher in a small Kentucky town, and she loves her community and her group of friends called the Hexagon. The group bands together to save the community’s fall festival and Billie struggles to find the space she needs to understand and express her gender and sexuality. It’s easily one of my favorite books of this year!

They Both Die in the End by Adam Silvera- Title tells you everything. Silvera’s third novel has already hit the NYT bestseller list and I’ve heard it’s just as amazing as History is all you Left Me and More Happy Than Not. Features two Latino boys who become friends after they both receive a call that they’ll both be dead within 24 hours. I haven’t read it yet, but if it’s anything like Silvera’s other books, I’ll need a box of tissues close by.

Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller- A genderfluid teen wants revenge after losing everyone and everything that’s ever mattered to them. Sal decides to audition for the Left Hand, the queen’s elite group of assassins, but to earn their place, Sal must compete in a fight to the death.

Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust- Who wants to read a retelling of Snow White where she’s a lesbian? This book is a duel POV between Lynet (Snow White) and Mina(the stepmother) who are only alive because of Mina’s dangerous and powerful father, who gave her a heart of glass.

I Hate Everyone But You by Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin- Two best friends part ways as they head off to college and communicate through texts and emails and share their new experiences. Ava struggles with anxiety and steps out of her shell for new experiences and maybe finding her first boyfriend while Gen explores her sexuality and falls for her TA.

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren- Tanner was an out and proud bi boy until his family moves to Utah. But then his best friend dares him to take a senior seminar class where he must write a book and falls in love with his teacher’s son.

Spinning by Tillie Walder- Walder’s graphic memoir is about her ten years of figure skating and now much she hated it.

Release by Patrick Ness- A guy who is from a strict, religious family examines his past relationship to determine why he why’s unable to reciprocate the love given to him by a sweet guy named Linus and thinks an attachment to a guy who broke is heart might be the problem.

Kaleidoscope Song by Fox Benwell – Two girls, Neo and Tale, living in South Africa meet a bar and bond over the love of music. Possible trigger warning- addresses corrective rape.

Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore (Oct 3)- You should read all of McLemore’s amazing books, but her newest is about three girl cousins who come from a family who tends to a magical garden. They find themselves falling for the same girl but fear a family curse where everyone they love disappears. Then a boy appears who has no idea who he is and Estrella, one of the cousins, tries to help him discover his identity.

Top Ten by Katie Cotugno (Oct 3)- Two best friends, Gabby and Ryan, are seniors whose platonic relationship becomes complicated as they begin to fall for each other and examine the top moments of their friendship over the past four years.

Not Your Villain by C.B. Lee (Oct 5) – Sequel to Not Your Sidekick. This book revolves are Bells, a trans guy with superpowers (he can shapeshift!) as he teams up with his friends who go on a mission to find the Resistance opposing a corrupt league of superheroes.

Echo After Echo by Amy Rose Capetta (Oct 10) – a girl named Zara wins the role of Echo at the Aurelia theater, but her dream role becomes a nightmare with mysterious deaths, dangerous legends, and an intense director. She finds herself falling for a name named Eli who works in lighting! Theater romance! Everyone who received an ARC of this book has said amazing things about it!

Like Water by Rebecca Podos (Oct 17) - Savannah returns to her small town to care for her father who has Huntington’s disease. She keeps herself occupied with hookups and a job at a waterpark dressed as a mermaid, and finds herself falling for a girl named Leigh. This is Podos’ debute novel and I’m impatiently waiting to read it.

A Line in the Dark by Malinda Lo (Oct 17) – I fell in love with Lo’s novels after reading her queer Cinderella retelling, Ash. She’s written fantasy (Ash and Huntress) and science fiction (Adaption and Inheritance) and now she’s tackling a contemporary thriller . So Jess is secretly in love with her best friend Angie, who is completely oblivious. Angie hooks up a with a girl named Margo, a girl from boarding school whose social circle pulls Jess into some trouble.

Changing Colors by Elyse Springer (Oct 23) – I’m actually going to plug all of Springer’s romance novels because they’re amazing and I’ve read all of them. Changing Colors is the fourth book in her series Seasons of Love. But while you’re at it, you should check out White Out, featuring a gay couple, Thaw, about an ace girl who falls for a model/actress ice queen, Heat Wave, two bisexual girls have a no strings attached relationship and of course one of them develops feelings. There’s also Heels Over Head, which is about an Olympic hopeful diver who falls for one of his teammates.

Girl in a Bad Place by Kaitlin Ward (Oct 31) – Author of Bleeding Earth returns with another creepy tale with queer girls! Okay, so here’s the breakdown of her sophomore novel: So this girl, Cara, finds this commune in the mountains called Haven, and spends a lot of time there. Her best friend,  Mailee, is pretty sure Haven is a cult but of course Cara won’t listen and decides to move in Haven permanently! Sounds like a horrible idea, right?

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE OFFICE

S6;E16 ~ January 14, 1974

Directed by Coby Ruskin ~ Written by Fred S. Fox and Seaman Jacobs

Synopsis

Harry sells the business, but immediately has regrets. When the new boss (Don Porter) gets everyone arrested for running a bookie operation, Lucy and Kim scheme to get the agency back for Harry.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter / “Mrs. Pierpont Skyler of the Pasadena Skylers”)

Guest Cast

Don Porter (Ken Richards) previously played Mr. Devery on “The Ann Sothern Show” (1958-61), a Desilu production. In 1958 Lucille Ball guest-starred as Sothern’s friend Lucy Ricardo who tries to play matchmaker between Devery and Sothern’s character Katy. He had also appeared on Sothern’s previous show, “Private Secretary” (1953-57). In 1974, Porter appeared with Ball in Mame, playing snooty Mr. Upson, father of her nephew Patrick’s intended, Gloria. Later that same year, Porter appeared with Lucille Ball again in the teleplay “Happy Anniversary and Goodbye.”  

George Chandler (Winston Shelby) made five films with Lucille Ball between 1938 and 1946. His final TV appearances was in 1979 having accrued more the 450 screen credits. He is probably best remembered as Uncle Petrie Martin on “Lassie” (1954-56).    

Shelby says that his business is selling household appliances through the mail, but he is actually acting as a bookie.  

Billy Sands (Billy, left) played Lucy’s milkman in both “Lucy’s Lucky Day” (S4;E15) and “Lucy’s Punctured Romance” (S4;E22).  Sands began his professional acting career in 1946 when he appeared on Broadway with Spencer Tracy in Robert Sherwood’s Rugged Path, but he eventually became a television character actor who appeared regularly as Dino Papparelli on “The Phil Silvers Show” and as ��Tinker’ Bell on “McHale’s Navy.”   John Wheeler (Hank, right) was yet another actor Lucille Ball worked with on the movie Mame. Other musicals include the TV version of Wonderful Town in 1958 (his screen debut) and Sweet Charity (1969). In both cases he was in the New York stage productions and came to Hollywood to work on the screen versions.

Dave Morick (Plainclothes Police Detective) played police officers on various television shows. He was frequently seen as a background player on “Hogan’s Heroes” (1966-71). 

Neil (Mrs. Skyler’s Kitty Cat, uncredited) was brought up on milk.  

Bentley the chauffeur (the lion’s handler), and two uniformed policemen appear uncredited and have no dialogue.

The title is a paraphrase of the catch-phrase “Meanwhile, back at the ranch.”  The expression originated as a stock subtitle in silent movies and at first the reference to the ranch was literal. Later, as the phrase became a cliché, it was used more and more loosely and with a growing sense of mockery or levity.

Lucy says a depressed Harry looks like a recruiting poster for Forest Lawn. Forest Lawn Memorial Park (aka Cemetery) is located in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Due to the many celebrities buried there and the tourists that visit their graves, it has gained a reputation as a “theme-park necropolis.” When Lucille Ball died on April 26, 1989 she was buried at Forest Lawn, but three years later was moved to the family plot at Lake View Cemetery in Jamestown, New York. George Chandler (Mr. Shelby) is entombed at Forest Lawn’s Glendale location, the first of their six properties.    

When Harry shows up at the newly-purchased office, the frosted glass doors now read “Richards Employment Agency” and “Ken Richards Manager.”  However, the iconic wall sign saying “Unusual Jobs for Unusual People” subtitled “Carter’s Unique Employment Agency” still remains.

Porter warns Lucy that he doesn’t appreciate humor. He says “If I had wanted a funny secretary, I would have hired Phyllis Diller.” Master impressionist Jim Bailey played comedienne Phyllis Diller in “Lucy and Jim Bailey” (S5;E9). 

Porter is frustrated by Lucy’s filing system (a joke that hasn’t been mined very often recently) and tells her to find him the Bradshaw file. The name Bradshaw was often one used by Gale Gordon in his dictation as both Mr. Mooney and Harrison Carter. In “A Home is Not an Office” (S5;E4) Harry is looking for the Bradshaw file and Lucy has filed it under ‘G’ because Mr. Bradshaw reminds her of Cary Grant. In this episode, Lucy has filed it under ‘H’ because when she first met Mr. Bradshaw he told her about his weekend in San Francisco, and Lucy associates the city with the song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”

Sitting at a tiny typing table instead of his stately desk, Harry says he feels like “Napoleon at Waterloo.” Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a French statesman and military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution. He was Emperor of the French until his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Harry played the ‘spirit’ of Napoleon (and Lucy is wife Josephine) at a séance held by Helen Hayes in “Lucy and the Little Old Lady” (S4;E17, above).

During a meeting of “the office force”, Mr. Richards tells Harry that the way he drums his fingers while talking on the telephone is exceedingly irritating. This was the same bad habit Ricky Ricardo was accused of by Lucy during “In Palm Springs” (ILL S4;E26, above). Richards also asks Lucy if there’s any way for her to “dim” her hair!  

Hank explains how the book-making racket works. When callers state the model number of the 'appliances’ they want to order, they are actually gambling on horse races.

First number = amount of bet

Second number = race number

Third number = horse number

Numbers 1, 2, 3 = win, place, show

They field telephone calls from Mssrs. Clark, Frasier, McGee, Santiago and Thomas, to name a few. These names could be completely random on the part of the writers, or they could have had some significance.  

When Billy asks if anyone speaks Spanish, Lucy says that she does. She may be just saying so to earn the $100 bonus for the most 'orders’ because Lucy Carter has never demonstrated proficiency with any language in the past.  She says goodbye by saying “Que sera sera!” This is French and most connected with the Doris Day tune “Que Sera Sera” (1956).  

This is the last episode shot for “Here’s Lucy,” but it was decided not to use it as the series finale. The last shot, of Lucy, Harry and Kim, toddling off into the 'sunset’ certainly feels like a Hollywood ending.

Harry also sold the Unique Employment Agency at the end of season five for $25,000. This is the same price Harry got from Mr. Richards.

Kim disguises herself as a stereotypical little old lady named Mrs. Skyler, of the South Pasadena Skylers. In “Lucy and the Ex-Con” (S1;E15), Wally Cox disguises himself as a little old lady named Mrs. Perkins, of the Pasadena Perkins’. The connection between elderly women and the California city doubtless is derived from the hit song “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena” (1964) sung by Jan and Dean.

This is the second time that a live lion has been seen on “Here’s Lucy.” The first was in “Lucy in the Jungle” (S4;E13).  

Souvenirs! When Harry sold the business to Mr. Richards, he neglected to take his precious barometer, something he told Lucy to carefully pack when he first sold the business in “Lucy and Harry’s Memoirs” (S5;E24).

Kitty Litter!  When Bentley the chauffeur (actually the lion’s trainer) is about wrestle with 'Neil’, Lucie Arnaz says “Show them how cuddly and kitty he is” which doesn’t make grammatical sense. No doubt that the presence of a live lion on set had everyone a bit distracted. [The snake held by Lucie Arnaz in the above promo shot belonged to her! It does not appear in the episode.]

“Meanwhile, Back at the Office” rates 4 Paper Hearts out of 5

This episode probably should have been the series finale - it feels like a finale.  Lucie Arnaz does a wonderful comic turn as the stereotypical little old lady - something her mother would have done 20 years earlier.

Woodbury Lions Club hosting American Red Cross blood drives

Blood Drives in Cannon County for over 60 years.

It has been said that the Lions Club drives are the best in the Tennessee Valley Region Blood Services area, which includes all of Tennessee, parts of Kentucky, and Alabama.

The extra effort put forth by the Lions Club has little to do with it. The Woodbury Lions Club has a committee of members that work together to help insure that everything runs smoothly, along with community volunteers who like to help out.

Some of the volunteers have more experience working with blood drives that the actual Red Cross staff who go out daily working with blood drives within the area.

Committee chairmen’s Patsy and Carl Hirlston and Bobby Bogard with committee members Ken and Artie Jean McIntyre, Lois Larimer, Clyde Thomas, Nolan Northcutt, Robert Jennings, Charlie Brown, Clyde and Kitty Bush, Chris Brushaber, Danny Miller, Cliff Swoape, Andy Jacobs, Doug Combs, and Gina Mitchell, all work together along with community volunteers of Bessie Miller, Orval and Esther Gray, Juanita Burks, Cathey Parker, Betty Harder, Shirley Borren, Jane Jennings, Grace Young, Nile Young, Della Young, Robert Young, Kay Campbell, Carol Davenport, Bobbie Henline, Jim Henline, Betty Paschal, Ann Todd, Mary Sue Vinson, and Mary Nelle Hillis too create a professional staff that assist members of the American Red Cross staff.

The Lions Club assigns a task of greeting donors and signing them in, handing out water and assigning donors with a number.

Copies of the Cannon Courier are provided for donors to read before or after their donation.

Red Cross provides snacks and the Woodbury Lions Club has additional snacks such as: a one-of-a-kind trail mix, peanut butter and crackers, baloney and crackers, and cheese and crackers.

A staff works in the canteen area who assist the donors after they have donated by getting them a drink of juice, water, soda, or coffee and then sitting with them and talking. They also watch the donor to see if the donors face color changes or if their arm starts bleeding from where the donor had given blood.

Woodbury Club also keeps records of each donation and awards donors with pins and Certificates when completing gallon donations. Along with taking pictures of donors receiving awards and being pinned with a gallon donation pin, plus having members of the Lions Club calling and reminding donors of upcoming blood drives also adds a little bit more to why Cannon County Blood Drives are better and produces more regular donors than other areas which has a larger population.

Woodbury Lions Club host six blood drives a year, always the third Thursday in January, March, May, July, September, and November. Each blood drive is noon until six pm except May’s drive, which runs from 9 am until 6 pm. May’s blood drive is a donor appreciation drive, and most of the businesses in Cannon County donate door prizes.

In the last five to six years, each donor was able to win three of four items because of the generosity of the businesses and their support of the Lions Club and wanting to reward the true everyday heroes of Cannon County, those who give of themselves to help save the lives of others. In most cases, they are saving the lives of people who they do not know.

On May 20th, 2010 the following businesses provided door prizes for the heroes of Cannon County: A Touch of Home Flower’s & Gifts, Arts Center of Cannon County, Auto Zone, Birdsong Adhesives, Boyd’s Garage, Briar Rose Flowers and Gifts, Bromley/Jennings Automotive, Cannon County Chiropractic, Cannon Market, Captain D’s, CareAll, Cell Plus, Coco Tan & Spa, Chilangoes Mexican Restaurant, Curves, Cutting Edge Hair Salon, D J’s Pizza and Steakhouse, Family Dentistry Deason & Bucher, Farm Bureau Insurance, First National Bank, Flower Occasions, Gina’s Boutique, Hardee’s, Hayes Bros Auto Care, Hibdon’s Body Shop, Higgins Car Wash, J P’s Fine Swine Bar-B-Que, Jennings Jewelers, Joe’s Place, Legendary Cuts, Lightwriters Photography, Lions Pizza Den, The Millennium Hair Salon, Moonlite Drive-In, NAPA, The Old Feed Store, One Stop Market, Parsley’s Market & Deli, Paul Reed’s Furniture, Paul’s Auto Service, Piggly Wiggly, Potter’s Ace Hardware, Quick Shop Market, Reed’s Building Supply, Regions Bank, Roger Hindman Body Shop, Scavenger Hunt Flea Market, Scavenger Hunt Trading Post, The Scoreboard, Shirt Shack, Shotgun County Pawn & Gun, Smitty Tire Shop, Stewart’s Printing, Stone Gait Tack and Feed, Subway, West End Tobacco Store, Woodbury Auto Express, Woodbury Insurance Agency, and Woodbury Lawn & Garden. Every donor and volunteer received a promotional ink pen from DTC, a pillbox from Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Cooperation, Chap Stick from FirstBank, a value meal card from Sonic, and a 3 pound bag of stone ground corn meal from The Readyville Mill.

The Red Cross also provided promotional items and the Woodbury Lions Club provided $10 gift certificates and a grand prize of $100 gift card.

It is very hard to find another community that has so many businesses that support a civic club as much as the ones in Cannon County.

Most all the businesses give support to the Woodbury Lions Club for sponsorship of the Lions Club Horse Show, White Cane donations, and door prizes for the donor appreciation Blood Drive. Without support from the local businesses, the Woodbury Lions Club would not be able to do as much as it does within the community, state, country, and world. Local businesses are one of the leading reasons why Cannon County Blood Drives are so much better that anywhere else in the state.

Another reason and probably the number one reason the blood drives are the best anywhere is the volume of regular donors in Cannon County. In any community only a certain per cent are eligible to donate and of that per cent only about 3 to 5 percent actually donates, but the donors in Cannon County has a much higher percent.

This is not due to the Lions Club and its part, nor the businesses and its part, but it is the individual donor and the way of life in Cannon County, the way most have been raised to want to help others in need in any way they can.

The mentality of the average person in Cannon County is to serve in any way they can. This mentality is one of the reasons Woodbury Lions Club is one of the largest clubs in the state.

It is why the businesses give as much as they do, and why so many volunteers do jobs within the county for little or no pay. The parents, schools and churches within the community teach the children from an early age of the importance of giving back to the community in which they live and the lesson that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

This is why Cannon County has had over 360 donors in the past 2-½ years. Woodbury Lions Club and the American Red Cross both use fiscal years that begin on 1 July and end 30 June.

The following is a list of local heroes who gave during the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Those donating Double Red Blood Cells count as two donations, the max number of times any one can give in a fiscal year in whole blood or double red cells is 6.

The Woodbury Lions Club has received several awards of appreciation from the American Red Cross for their support of the Community Blood Program, and there is a lot of speculation as to why a small community does so well on the blood drives.

A lot of the credit is given to the Lions Club for putting out an extra effort.

Some credit is given for having good media coverage with the Cannon Courier, the Cannon Wire, and WBRY radio. Some credit is given for the support given by the businesses in Cannon County.

Any community can have a civic organization that puts forth the extra effort, and have good media and local businesses supporting them, but they don’t have the attitude and dedication of serving others that is instilled into Cannon Countians from birth until death.

The Woodbury Lions Club expresses heartfelt gratitude to all the media, businesses, and donors for exceeding the yearly goals set forth by the Red Cross based on past history.

It is so great to live among so many heroes. Likes: 7 Viewed:

Nicole Kidman

Turning 50 is pretty sweet when you’re surrounded by this much love. “Happy birthday to my husband, best friend, lover, baby daddy and the greatest man in the world,” the Big Little Lies star wished her man, Keith Urban, on his big day. She signed the message with the names of all three of his girls, including their two daughters. “We are so lucky that you are ours. Love you from Nicole Mary, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.” (Photo: Nicole Kidman via Facebook)

The actress and soon-to-be mom of three shared her baby gender reveal with followers on Wednesday — and it’s a boy!

Mrs. West, who recently went blond herself, asked her followers to caption the shot, adding that hers would be “SWF.” Alas, the look was only temporary, as Jenner showed up on the red carpet last night back to the usual brunette we know and love.

Before the Blizzard--Belle & Patrick

@timeguardians

Continued from here

Patrick only has to listen to the plaintive calls for a few seconds to realize the person searching through these rooms is not his tormentor returning for another round. Whomever she is, she is searching for her father. The soldier’s heart sinks abruptly as he slots a few potential pieces together. There is only one woman he can easily think of who would be searching this ruined hulk for her father. It had to be Maurice’s daughter, the one who the kind old man begged him to find before he succumbed to the cold, and the injuries that should have been inflicted on Patrick. Guilt wells up in Patrick’s chest, mixing with dread about the news he will likely need to deliver in a moment, and concern that the young woman has taken herself into this dangerous situation rather than wait at home for news of her father. The combination is acrid, and his empty stomach rolls dangerously for a moment before he forces it to settle. Now is not the time for those reactions. Right now, he needs to focus on the situation at hand. He can wallow later. A moment later, a thin beam of light heralds the young woman’s arrival as she enters the room. The flickering glow settles over him for a second, prompting a frighted reaction from the young woman. “I’m not going to hurt you!” He tries to reassure her as soon as he sees her recoil in terror. At her tremulous request for his identity, he swallows. “I’m Patrick—Patrick Michaels.” Either his words assure her, or she plucks up her wavering courage on her own. Either way, she carefully raises the light again in an attempt to see better into the gloom. With the way the flame keeps flickering behind the glass, Patrick reckons there’s only a few minutes of light left. Not much time to get them both out of here, then. He glances down at the ropes, his eyes roving over the rough cords as best as he can. “I’m not sure—I’m a stranger around here so I don’t know all the names. I saw the guy around town though—he was a crony to some muscle-bound idiot I got in a fight with at the bar. I guess he figured he would impress the big down in town by dragging me in here.” As he speaks, Patrick debates when it will be a good time to mention Maurice. If this young woman is his daughter, she came here seeking him out. It will be cruel to keep her in suspense any longer than he absolutely has too. But first, he needs to get his arms free so he can defend himself if he needs to. “Can you find anything that can cut through these ropes? Or do you have a knife on you?” He asks the second question in a burst of futile hope. He doubts most women carry knives with them everywhere they go. Patrick had his own knife, but the idiot who tied him up decided to take it. He will have to go get that back when he has a chance—he likes that weapon.

Hi, can i ask for recommendations about music and more in french. 'Cause I'm really trying to improve my understanding of the language but i don't know where to start. If it's not bother only

HELLO! Why of course, I don’t know if you’re still interested in French songs but I do have a ton for you to listen to!!

Starting with Chikita by Jul i’m kidding please that’s like the one embarrassing kid in the family that we’re ashamed of and hide upstairs when guests come over

Anyway, you’re right, listening to French songs can help you handle more the language as it is a very difficult one, but don’t worry friendo I got your back :)

Do keep in mind that I’ve tried making the most exhaustive list I could (it took me 7 hours to compile all of this, I beg for mercy) but if anyone wants to reblog this with additional songs, you’re more than welcome!!

Okay, I’m putting here regular songs that I personally really love. It’s a huge mix of newer and older songs. If there’s one thing you need to know about French songs is that there’s no such thing as old songs, and you’d be surprised to know that most French people still listen to songs their grandparents listened to. Some of them are very very kitsch, but the emotional aspect most of us, French speakers, have with these songs justifies everything.

La Bohème - Charles AznavourI initially put it a lot lower in the list, but then I figured it straight up deserved the first spot because that’s the one French song anyone who wants to listen to French music should listen to first. It’s a monument. Honestly.

La Jument de Michao - Nolwenn Leroy

Belle Demoiselle - Christophe Maé

On s’attache - Christophe Maé

Double Je - Christophe Willem

Soulman - Ben L’Oncle Soul

Moi Lolita - Julien Doré

Paris-Seychelles - Julien Doré

Chou Wasabi - Julien DoréThere are 2 versions of this song, the bridge being either in French or in English depending on the version. I included the link with the English bridge version, but free to you to check the other version if you like the song :)

Papaoutai - StromaeVERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART OVER HERE.

Formidable - Stromae

Tous les Mêmes - Stromae

Peace or Violence - Stromae

Dernière Danse - IndilaI’m not personally a huge fan of this song anymore as I’ve been hearing it waaaay too much here and there, but the singer really did the cool thing of trying to write a song that reminds you of the old French songs, and the lyrics are quite easy to understand as well. Still, it’s my least favourite of this list. I’m putting it because I think it’s a good thing to suggest for your request, I guess.

En Apesanteur - Calogero

Ecris l’histoire - Gregory LemarchalAny French person you ask probably had their Gregory Lemarchal era and honestly, the songs are super old but I just love him way too much

Même Si - Gregory Lemarchal ft. Lucie SilvasOkay that’s like a monument of French music. It’s a half-half song with Gregory singing all the French parts but it’s just so good. I can’t find a good audio, so you’re gonna have to deal with the music video which kind of breaks the song somewhere around the bridge but it’s good nevertheless.

Sous le vent - Garou ft. Céline Dion

Mistral Gagnant - Lara FabianThe original one is sung by Renaud and a looot of people are going to say it’s the best version, but I personally prefer this one. One of my all time favourites here. There’s no audio version though as it’s a live.

Je T’aime - Lara FabianStraight up hands down the one French song that the entirety of France knows. It’s like… I wouldn’t even be surprised if people know it more than the actual anthem of the country. It’s just the first thing you should even listen to when it comes to French songs, I don’t even know why I didn’t put it first in the list.

Pour que tu m’aimes encore - Céline Dion

Savoir Aimer - Florent PagnyUnrelated but he sings this one Andrea Bocelli song “Caruso” in such a beautiful way. If you can find it, listen to it. But it’s in italian.

Femme Libérée - Cookie Dingler

Mon amie la rose - Natacha Atlas

Aïcha - Khaled

Here I’m gonna put classics of French music. I’m separating here, and I was meaning to just put everything and everything but I wouldn’t like you to mistake commercial music with these. So aside from the first song of Charles Aznavour that I put first, everything I listed previously are from the 90′s to today. Those I’m gotta put down here are “timeless” songs.I haven’t put as many songs as one would wish, but do trust me when I say there are waaaaay too many of them. But if you’re interested in this kind of music, re-ask me and I’ll spend exclusive time to that list.

Emmenez-Moi - Charles Aznavour

Dans le port d’Amsterdam - Jacques BrelYou might not like him firsthand because he’s… Well, he’s special. But French people are very fond of him, and I quite like some of his songs, though they come straight from his guts in terms of intensity haha. I’m gonna put next a song from his that you probably know which is far more famous: Ne Me Quitte Pas

Ne Me Quitte Pas - Jacques BrelI’m giving you a link to his best of because I can’t find a good version of the song. But it’s the first one of the video so don’t worry.

Göttingen - BarbaraThis woman here is just incredible. Really. She has such a wonderful voice and her lyrics are a work of art if you care to read them. She was a singer from the 50′s so she’s super duper old but wow intensely timeless in my opinion.

Dis, quand reviendras-tu ? - Barbara

Je te donne - Jean-Jacques GoldmanOkay this guy is one of my very favourite French singers of all time. He has a very special place in my heart and I’m fighting myself not to just slam all of his songs in this list. But do youtube him.

Je marche seul - Jean-Jacques Goldman

La vie par procuration - Jean-Jacques Goldman

Alexandrie, Alexandra - Claude François

Belle, belle, belle - Claude François

Le téléphone pleure - Claude François

Elle a les yeux revolver - Marc Lavoine

Here, I’m going to put musicals and cartoons because they’re an entire world as well. Maybe you don’t know it, but France has a very good musicals culture. Along with that, cartoon songs, like Disney, are very good if you want to learn French as the singers spell well all their words, and the fact that you know the song already in your native language can help.For the musicals, I’m going to prioritise audio versions since the aim is for you to have good audio. However, if you like them, watching the live versions is definitely worth it :)

Belle - Garou, Patrick Bruel, Daniel Lavoie (Notre-Dame de Paris)

Le Temps des Cathédrales - Bruno Pelletier (Notre-Dame de Paris)

L’Assasymphonie - Florent Mothe (Mozart l’Opéra Rock)

Those three are my favourite favourite, but you can go check “Les Amants de la Bastille”, “Le Rouge et le Noir”, “Le Roi Soleil” and “Roméo et Juliette” for more musicals.Now on with the cartoon songs. That’s gonna be long but I’m not gonna put everything. Feel free to look up your own favourite songs :) I’m huge Disney garbage, added to all the animated movies I’ve watched. I’m not gonna write the name of the singers though I know them, to make it easier.

L’Air du Vent - Pocahontas (Colors of the Wind)

Des Sauvages - Pocahontas (Savages)

Je Voudrais Déjà Être Roi - Le Roi Lion / Lion King (I Can’t Wait to Be King)

Comme un homme - Mulan (Like a Man)

Jamais je n’avouerai - Hercules (I Won’t Say I’m In Love)

Enfant de L’Homme - Tarzan (Son of Man)

Je Veux Savoir - Tarzan (I Want to Know)

Entre Deux Mondes - Tarzan (Two Worlds)

Je M’en Vais - Frère des Ours / Bear Brothers (On My Way)

Infernal - Le Bossu de Notre-Dame / Hunchback of Notre Dame (Infernal)

Partir Là-Bas - The Little Mermaid (Part of Your World)I do believe the movie has been edited like 3 times by Disney and they changed the singer every time. But I’m a good old 90′s kid and the only version I tolerate is the one I grew up with, meaning with the original Ariel voice. So careful if you go youtube that again. The link I provided is, in my opinion, the best.

Le Monde Qui Est Le Mien - Hercules (Go The Distance)

Je Défendrai Ma Vie - Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (I Will Defend My Life)I’m putting the movie version, but I advise you to go check the full audio for better quality.

Dégage - Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Sonne Le Clairon - Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Loin du Froid de Décembre - Anastasia (Once Upon a December)

La Seine - Un Monstre à ParisOne of my all time animated songs ever. Really. An amazing French movie with amazing songs like thank bless.

Sun down on the sorry day By nightlights the children pray I know you’re prob'ly gettin’ ready for bed Beautiful woman, get out of my head I’m so tired of the same old crud Sweet baby, I need fresh blood The moon shines in the autumn sky Growin’ cold, the leaves all die I’m more alone than I’ve ever been Help me out of the shape I’m in After the fires, before the flood My sweet baby, I need fresh blood Whatever trepidation you may feel In your heart, you know it’s not real In a moment of clarity Summon an act of charity You gotta pull me out of this mud Sweet baby, I need fresh blood.
