LUCY’S DINGING GUIDE!

The Restaurants & Eateries of the Lucyverse ~ Part 2

Eating out brought Lucy to a wide variety of dining spots: sit down resaurants, diners, cafés and lunch counters are all here – in Lucy’s Dining Guide!

The Cavalier Restaurant ~ "Lucy is a Kangaroo for a Day” (1962)

When Lucy’s knit dress unravels, she has no choice but to don a kangaroo costume to deliver important papers to a fancy restaurant. A bowl of onion soup is spilled in her pouch! 

The Elm Tree Inn ~ “Chris’s New Year’s Eve Party” (1962) 

While Chris has a party for her teenage friends, Lucy and Viv bring their sons to the Elm Tree Inn for dinner and dancing. The boys especially enjoy the ice cream sundaes. 

When Chris’s party is a dud, Lucy, Viv and Harry (Dick Martin) come to the rescue with entertainment, a silent movie sketch featuring Charlie Chaplin at a café. 

The Pink Pheasant ~ “No More Double Dates” (1963)

When Lucy and Viv double date, there’s an argument about where to dine and the couples split up, fibbing about their plans. Harry suggests going to Tony DiBello’s for Italian food. DiBello’s will be featured in “Lucy Meets a Millionaire” (1964). Viv suggests The Country Kitchen in Ridgebury. Eddie wants to dine where George Washington slept – the 300 year-old Colonial Inn. Lucy makes one more suggestion: The Café Tambourine, which is probably a gypsy tea room.

Naturally they end up at the same classy restaurant: The Pink Pheasant. So that Viv and Eddie (Don Briggs) don’t discover their deception, Lucy hides under the table. [The Pink Pheasant restaurant is really just a re-dressed version of The Cavalier, a restaurant seen earlier in the season in “Lucy Is A Kangaroo for a Day”. They even use the same chairs!] 

Wilbur’s Ice Cream Parlor ~ “Lucy is a Soda Jerk” (1963)

When Chris can’t make it to work at Wilbur’s Ice Cream Parlor, Lucy and Viv fill in. While Lucy works the counter, Viv handles table service, waiting on patrons played by James Gonzales and Desi Arnaz Jr.

Charlie’s Café ~ “Lucy Visits the White House” (1963)

When the train to Washington DC stops in Greenview, Lucy darts into a trackside café to steal their sugar cubes to rebuld the model of the White House her cub scouts are bringing to President Kennedy. Charlie’s menu includes coffee, sundaes, hamburgers, and bacon & tomato sandwiches. 

Tony DiBello’s ~ “Lucy Meets a Millionaire” (1964) 

Lucy’s dates Umberto Fabrini, an Italian millionaire who doesn’t speak English. Naturally, he takes her to an Italian restaurant - Tony DiBello’s. Tony is played by Jay Novello. Novello is associated with Italian food having played Mario, the "Visitor from Italy” turned pizza chef on “I Love Lucy.”

Umberto (Cesare Danova) orders Tortellini Bolognese, which - thanks to Lucy - ends up in his lap!  

Fleeing the restaurant to make a phone call, Lucy and Mr. Mooney pass an un-named café . 

Four Corners Café ~ “Lucy and Viv Open a Restaurant” (1964) 

The abandoned and run down café offers Raviola (another name for ravioli) and has a Sugar Bowl Special. 

Despite their renovations, the café fails to bring in any customers. To rescue their investment, Lucy and Viv hastily reinvent their investment.

LUCY: “How about making it a Spanish restaurant?” VIV: “Great! How about calling it El Fiasco.”

They settle on a Gypsy Tea Room, serving Hungarian fare.

OLGA the COOK: “Push the Hungarian goulash.” 

When the Gypsy Tea Room doesn’t work out, they transform it into The Colonial Inn, an Early American themed restaurant, complete with the George and Martha as greeters (aka Lucy and Viv).

OLGA the COOK: “Push the Yankee Pot Roast.”

Danfield Train Depot Snack Bar ~ “Lucy is a Process Server” (1964)

The chalkboard says they offer Roast Beef Sandwiches, Hot Dogs, and Hamburgers. Stafford Repp plays the bored counterman. Mr. Mooney orders a hot dog and accidentally squirts himself with mustard. [Oops! Gale Gordon actually is eating a hamburger, not a hot dog.]

Restaurant ~ “Lucy the Meter Maid” (1964) and “Lucy the Coin Collector” (1964)

The streets of Danfield featured these same no-name restaurant windows. 

The Park Royal Restaurant ~ “Lucy Meets Danny Kaye” (1964) 

Lucy pursues the star into a fancy restaurant, where she succeeds in dumping a tray of food on his head! 

Coffee Shop ~ “Lucy and the Ceramic Cat” (1965) 

After shopping for sales at Bigelow’s, Lucy and Viv duck into a coffee shop for a cup of tea. They run into Mr. Mooney, who is having liver for lunch. 

The Golden Greek ~ “Lucy and The Golden Greek” (1965)

Lucy and Mary Jane double date at a Greek restaurant. Lucy’s date Howard suggests the moussaka. Lucy thinks he is talking about the musicians!

International Supper Club ~ “Lucy and the Undercover Agent” (1965) 

After seeing a James Bond movie, Mr. Mooney takes Lucy and the Countess (Ann Sothern) for dinner at a fancy restaurant. There Lucy sees a man she believes to be a spy. 

Seafood House ~ “Lucy and Bob Crane” (1966)

Crane takes “simple and unassuming” Lucy out for a lobster dinner at a “simple and unassmuing” restaurant decorated in a nautical theme. Crane orders them both lobster. 

LUCY: “Lobster is so ‘simple and unassuming’.” 

The Studio Café ~ “Lucy and John Wayne” (1966)

While Wayne is filming a movie, Lucy has lunch with him at the commissary. Thanks to Lucy, Wayne ends up with a face full of catsup! 

Hamburger Hovel ~ “Lucy Visits Viv” (1966)

To find a wayward Danfield boy, Lucy and Viv visit the Sunset Strip, where they search a biker bar. Motorcycles are parked in front of a burger joint called Hamburger Hovel, home of the original Bikerburger!  The eatery’s name is a pun on the real-life

Hamburger Haven

on Santa Monica Boulevard. 

Doc Putnam’s Drug Store ~ “Main Street U.S.A.” & “Lucy Puts Main Street on the Map” (1967)

In Bancroft, Lucy and Mel (Mel Torme) order two Strawberry Ice Cream Sodas (Mel: “In a clean glass”). Doc Porter is played by Paul Winchell. 

Restaurant ~ “Lucy Meets the Law” (1967)

After shopping (and before getting arrested), Lucy and Mary Jane pass by an un-named restaurant on their way to the bus stop.

Phil’s Fatboy Burgers ~ “Lucy Gets Involved” (1968)

Lucy takes a part-time job as a carhop at a drive-in burger joint where she must deliver food on roller skates!  Lucy’s boss, Mr. Burton, is played by Jackie Coogan. 

The Dining Room of the Lafayette Men's Club ~ “Lucy Meets Sid Caesar” (1968)

Lucy order. chicken cacciatore, baked lasagna and broccoli with Hollandaise sauce. Mr. Mooney orders roast turkey with oyster dressing, apple fritters, candied yams, and homemade cornbread. Sid Caesar (aka Frankie the Forger) orders cottage cheese and skim milk - because he’s on a diet. 

BONUS RESTAURANT(S)

“The Danny Kaye Show” (1962) 

In this Emmy Award-winning special, Kaye and Ball play three couples visiting three themed restaurants of different cuisines: Japanese, French, and Tahitian.

Kaye introduces all three sketches as himself. The first sketch is done without dialogue. At a Japanese Restaurant, Lucy has trouble with chopsticks, a bowl of fried noodles, and lychees. 

In the second sketch, this time with dialogue, co-workers Miss Naomi Dinsmore (Lucy) and Charlie(Kaye), are on a first date at an elegant French Restaurant.

Kaye:“Where the menu is in French, and the waiters are in French, and the prices are insane. The food is not only in French, but in Brandy, Cognac, and pure alcohol.  You can get drunk just by breathing the napkin.”

Lastly, married couple the Andersons go to a tropical restaurant named The Tahitian Typhoon.  

Kaye: “These are usually, the most exotic, the most authentic, the most uncomfortable, and… the most popular.”

It lives up to its name when a sudden downpour drenches the couple. On the way through the tropical foliage, Mrs. Anderson steps in quicksand.  

Mr. Anderson: “Don't struggle, you'll only sink faster. I learned that in the Amazon.”  Mrs. Anderson: “The Amazon?”  Mr. Anderson: “Yeah, it's a restaurant in Cleveland.”

Refusing to pay the check since they didn’t eat anything, the angry tribal maître d’ claps his hands, mutters an incantation, and shrinks the Andersons to pygmy size!

Fun with Fics

Rules: Pick any ten of your fics, scroll roughly to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people.

(I got this twice in my inbox, so here goes.)

1. The Wine Is Not Enough

Sam leaned forward and offered Dany some unsolicited wisdom, “Never, ever wear open-toed sandals in a Port-o-Walder.”

2. The Seduction

Jaime lunged forward and pressed his mouth to hers in a sloppy, wet kiss. He pulled back and began kicking off his shoes. "Fine. See. You've won. I yield. You can have your way with me."

3. Vows

He shifted on the bed to lean back against the pillows, angling himself to her. “I left you unprotected in the North. Did that Wildling try to steal you? Did you let him?” His eyes glittered with something she didn’t understand. “Is that why you’re trying to refuse me?”

“No one stole me. Why would anyone even try? I’m not a possession to be stolen,” she huffed.

4. Age Gap

“Seriously though, Tyrion, what’s the point in having a sexy young girlfriend if I can’t have her hold up restaurant menus to prove I can read them from a distance?”

5. The Right Time

He rose from his seat and turned around, facing the bear-like man. With a deliberate swipe of his stump, he knocked the unopened cup to the floor before leaning his perfect muscular backside against the edge of her desk. His voice was like shards of ice as he spoke to the investigator. “Brienne already has plans for lunch. With me.” He then stood straight and took a step closer to the other man. “She has plans today. Tomorrow. Every lunch. Every day. Every dinner, too.”

6. Life's Sweetest Reward

Brienne shoveled a bite of eggs in her mouth and swallowed before answering. “Shuffleboard tournament.” After watching the other couples at parasailing yesterday, she thought she and Jaime were probably the most athletic ‘couple’ on board. “If Jaime manages to get up in time, we’ll likely win.”

Howland drew back from her and his previous affable expression turned into something much harder. Jyana touched his hand, a look of alarm on her face.

“Jya and I have been on ninety-seven cruises. We compete in the shuffleboard tournament every single time.” He leaned in then, his voice dark and low, “And we always win.”

7. The Kingslayer's Speech

No matter how she argued that the first kiss had been an accident, (did you trip and fall into my lips, wench?), he had insisted that he was entitled to a kiss with every goodbye now. It was his due, he said. Just to shut him up, she’d smacked her lips against his and sent him on his way.

8. The Singular Discomfort of Jaime Lannister

He hadn’t thought it possible to be this hard and not explode. “Are you,” he paused, needing to catch his breath, “are you asking me to tell you about the hot, dirty things I want to do to you?”

9. Everyone Has a Price

Aunt Myranda (wife of Stafford, mother of Daven, Cerenna and Myrielle), passed around tequila shots while discussing the benefits of erectile dysfunction medication, but the drawbacks of four-hour erections.

10. Words in the Dark Night

“Or I could warm it on your teats, what little you have, wench. Or perhaps under the sweet curve of your ass.”

Sam watched as the Maid’s gloved hand gripped the hilt of Oathkeeper. He wondered if Ser Jaime planned to die tonight.

Okay..this was a lot of fun. Thank you. I haven't double checked all the links, but you can find all my fics by just clicking one and then my user name.

Maria-Rosa Rodriguez by Truus, Bob & Jan too! Via Flickr: German postcard by Krüger, no. 902/334. Photo: Art Messick. Exotic starlet Maria-Rosa Rodriguez was the sexy leading lady of a dozen French and Italian films of the 1960s and early 1970s. Her main claim to fame was the Louis de Funès comedy Le grand restaurant (1966). There is not much biographical information to be found about Maria-Rosa Rodriguez on the internet. A source suggests she was a Spanish actress, but possibly she is born in Ecuador. In 1960 a Maria-Rosa Rodriguez was crowned Miss Ecuador Mundo 1960. However, there is a bit more information about her film career. IMDb writes that during her film career she was also credited as Maria Rosa Rodrigues, Rosa-Maria Rodrigues, Rosa Rodriguez and Toty Rodriguez. Her first film appearance was an uncredited part as ‘Palma Diamantino’ in the French comedy Pouic-Pouic (1963, Jean Girault) starring Louis de Funès. Soon followed more film parts as a stripper in the kinky cannibal comedy Aimez-vous les femmes?/Do You Like Women? (1964, Jean Léon),co-written by Roman Polanski, and the sexploitation drama L'amour à la chaine/Tight Skirts, Loose Pleasures (1964, Claude de Givray). She appeared again as eye-candy in the spy film Coplan FX 18/FX-18 Superspy (1965, Riccardo Freda), the comedy Les gorilles/The Gorillas (1964, Jean Girault) and the crime comedy La grande frousse/The Big Scare (1964, Jean-Pierre Mocky) starring Bourvil. Other French films of the mid-1960’s in which she appeared were Les enquiquineurs/The pests (1965, Roland Quignon), the comedy anthology Les bons vivants/How to Keep the Red Lamp Burning (1965, Gilles Grangier, Georges Lautner) and the melodrama Le chant du monde/Song of the World (1965, Marcel Camus) starring Hardy Krüger. 1966 must have been a good year for Maria-Rosa Rodriguez. She was the leading lady opposite the immensely popular Louis de Funès in the hit comedy Le grand restaurant/The Big Restaurant (1966, Jacques Besnard). The choleric and energetic De Funès is the chef of Septim's, a very exclusive Paris restaurant. Problems occur when the president of an unnamed country gets kidnapped while having a dinner at Septim's. With police, gangsters and Maria-Rosa Rodriquez behind his back the always gesticularing De Funès tries to find the missing head of state by himself. The highlight of the film is a fabulous scene where a DS Citroen falls into a river and continues its ride as a boat. Maria-Rosa Rodriguez soon followed this up with a role in the fun filled caper Estouffade à la Caraïbe/The Gold Robbers (1967, Jacques Besnard) costarring with swimming champion Frederick Stafford, Jean Seberg and Serge Gainsbourg. She also appeared on tv in Amalia Escudero an episode of Au théâtre ce soir (1966). More tv roles followed in series like Les chevaliers du ciel/The Aeronauts (1967) – about the adventures of the French comic book heroes Tanguy and Laverdure - and Fortune (1969, Henri Colpi). In the early 1970’s she moved to Italy where she appeared in the ‘giallo’ thriller Il coltello di ghiaccio/Knife of Ice (1972, Umberto Lenzi) starring Carroll Baker. Her last film was a Spanish horror production La novia ensangrentada/Blood Castle (1972, Vincente Aranda). Most of Maria-Rosa Rodriguez’s biographies on the net stop here, but she kept on working as an actress. Under the name of Toty Rodriguez she is now a well known stage actress in Ecuador. In 1989 she appeared in another film, the East-German production Die Besteigung des Chimborazo/The Ascent of the Chimborazo (1989, Rainer Simon) filmed on location in Germany, France, Spain and Ecuador. In this adventure film she appeared briefly as a countess. More recently she was seen in a leading part in the Ecuadorian film Un titán en el ring/A Titan in the Ring (2002, Viviana Cordero). According to Rotten Tomatoes it’s an inspiring drama about the world of masked wrestling, set in a small community in the Andean Mountains.

Seeing as I am not allowing myself to continue playing the Johanssons until I have bought Lovestruck - well, I went and created another family!

Meet the Stafford-Price family!

I consists of Anna Stafford (22 years old) and Diane Price (20) , their daughter Elaine (just turned 1) and dog Chiquito.

Anna and Diane knew each other when they were kids, back in Henford-on-Bagley. Anna's family still live there but Diane's mum moved after few years. Diane doesn't know her dad and joined her mum on her different moves and adventures (she lived mostly in San Myshuno).

Diane's mum eventually bought a house in Tomarang and she and Diane used it as a sort of vacation home.

In the meantime, Anna grew up in Henford-on-Bagley with her family, growing crops and tending to animals. However, she was always better in the kitchen than in the garden. She moved out a few year's ago to start working at a restaurant in San Myshuno, ran into Diane and they reconnected.

Realizing that they wanted to be together they quickly ended up with a baby, a dog and Diane's 'vacation home' - given to them by Diane's mum.

Diane's mum still lives in San Myshuno (when not travelling) but comes visiting now and then.

The girls do find family life a bit overwhelming, but hopefully they'll find a balance between being responsible adults and still only in their 20's!

I will probably post them a little, they have been great fun to play even if I have hardly played even their first week. We'll see if I play them all the way to elder-hood!

Stats - and their house - under the cut!

Anna and Diane aren't a complete match, and they will have to work on their relationship if it's going to hold all the way to retirement. Anna wants to work with food (her LTW is eventually changed as she starts to open a food stall) and Diane is a blogger!

Elaine is a very sweet baby and Chiquito is a silly dog <3

I also put their home up at the gallery. The gallery version is very basic - mainly walls/layout and some furniture. I tried not to use CC, don't know if I managed?

Anyway - we all love a spacious one-floor home so here it is! Made for a family that loves to be outdoors; there's a pool, there's a garden and there is room for outdoor play for the kids!

Fin it in the gallery, it's called Ro Kaya Rockside rebuild, my ID is kusin_tisdag!

"BOOTLEGGER SENTENCED TO FOUR MONTHS," Edmonton Bulletin. March 4, 1913. Page 5. ---- Fine of $490 Imposed on Frank Henri and Prison Term. ==== AFTERMATH OF A SENSATIONAL RAID === Total of $700 Inflicted in Fines - Great Excitement Prevails at Edson. --- Over $700 was collected in fines on Saturday from persons concerned in the recent raid on bootleggers in Edson, which was carried out by R. S. Stafford, of the Alert Detective Agency and Town Constable Tatham. Inspector Raven, of the mounted police of Edmonton, went west to hear the cases. The principal in the case was Frank Henri, proprietor of Cotton's restaurant, who was fined $490 and costs with the alternative of twelve months imprisonment, for selling of liquor without a license. The fine and costs were paid. For running a house of ill fame Henri was sentenced to four months' imprisonment without the option of a fine.

Mildred Howell for selling liquor without a license was fined $150 and costs, and for keeping, a house of ill fame, she was fined $45, and costs. The fines and costs in both cases were paid. Margaret Clark and Mignor Martin, charged with being inmates, were each fined $25 and costs. A similar charge against Grace Bedford or Bredford, was dismissed, there being insufficient evidence.

Stafford Paid On. Detective Stafford, who is charged with shooting a bystander when effecting the arrests, did not appear on Friday when the case came up before Mr. Bradley, justice of the peace, acting on the advice of his solicitor, Mr McCaffray. Application was made by the solicitor for the prosecution, C. J. Roberts, to have the bail of $1,000 estreated, but this was refused and the case adjourned for eight days.

A remarkable situation exists at Edson in connection with the affair. Stafford, who was acting as temporary chief of police on the instructions of Mayor Lawrence, has been paid off, while town constable Tatham; who was dismissed by the council, has been reinstated by the mayor.

There seems to be a continual war between the council and the mayor, each undoing what's done by the other. An effort is on foot to institute proceedings against the mayor. The town is very much excited over the whole affair and it is freely alleged that some citizens are in league with the bootleggers.

La Petite Maison

“The signals we give—yes or no, or maybe—should be clear: the darkness around us is deep.” William Stafford wrote in his poem “A Ritual to Read to Each Other.”

I remembered Stafford while I was making a sketch of La Petite Maison, a restaurant in the tiny village of Cucuron in Provence. I thought the signals La Petite Maison gave on that July afternoon were wonderfully clear and welcoming. The building itself seemed to have a smiling face.

So often I read of contemporary buildings that "challenge us" or make "statements." At La Petite Maison, there are no statements. It’s not the sort of place where people have power lunches or take calls.

While I was making the sketch, an elderly couple strolled up to the menu board at La Petite Maison. They held hands while carefully studying the night's offerings. The signals the menu gave—yes or no, or maybe—were also quite clear.

The couple turned and strolled away from the menu board , down the hill to the village, hand in hand, their white hair bright against the shadows.

Story with twist

This ture story all thanks to Whole moon

In the Shadows of Belief

The sun hung low in the Stafford sky as I set off on the familiar path to the church. It wasn’t just about the service; it was the warmth of community, the laughter shared over gluten-free snacks, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that drew me. Yet, today, an unsettling thought tugged at my heart: God was slowly being exiled from our schools. It felt like a quiet rebellion against the very foundation of our beliefs, a misguided attempt to create a secular space where faith couldn’t flourish.

As I approached the church’s echoing doors, I overheard snippets of conversations; familiar voices laced with a sense of sadness. We spoke of our promise to uphold our faith, our unwavering love for God, and commitment to serve one another. Yet, beneath the shared smiles and hearty hellos, I couldn’t shake the doubts shadowing my spirit. This year, I hadn’t volunteered much—missing gatherings with the Lone Staffordshire Trefoil Guild and skipping camping days with the Red Cross youth in Stone. I yearned to help, to engage, but felt trapped miles away from the movements close to my heart.

With a heavy heart, I walked back home, the path beneath my feet weighed down by my dual burden: faith and fear. Often, my belief felt overshadowed by societal pressures that ridiculed faith, pushing it further into the background. With no mobile phone or easy transportation, connection seemed distant—leaving me feeling like a ghost in my own community.

Suddenly, my mind drifted to that unexpected trip to Turkey, a whirlwind of joy and chaos, where I had reunited with friends. They had burst into my life like a delightful surprise but brought an unfamiliar sort of disorder. I remembered my dyspraxic friend struggling as the world spun insistently around him, almost mocking his every step. In the Irish bar that night, laughter bubbled up, blending with music and music to create an illusion of normalcy. I danced, drawn into joy, feeling wholly alive, but chaos soon followed—a series of escalating drinks led to a ban from the Majestic Restaurant for my “inappropriate behavior.”

Later that night, isolated in my hotel room, I prayed with fervor, pouring every ounce of my regret into earnest pleas for forgiveness. I asked for forgiveness not just for that night’s blunders, but for all the moments I had let frustration and anger take the reins. As I recounted my feelings about my friends, a part of me struggled to forgive the one who always sought the spotlight, stirring up chaos without care. They brought with them a specific brand of trouble, and in the sober light of day, my annoyance mingled with guilt.

“How could I let myself be led astray?” I mused, remembering the ominously full moon hanging overhead that night—a notorious harbinger of chaos. I often believed that without the grounding presence of my crystal, a talisman of clarity, I could easily be swept away into darkness.

I cast my mind back to the hurtful comments—the slights that wormed their way into my soul. “Lazy. Stupid. You shouldn’t go on holiday.” These barbs stung deeper than I had dared to admit, even though I knew they were born from the haze of drunkenness and misunderstanding. The frustration I had felt about my inability to train with the Dyspraxia Foundation weighed heavily on my heart. Not being able to get to evening sessions because of broken transport links, or relying on taxis that seemed forever entangled with football matches, only compounded my feeling of isolation.

My return journey from Turkey should have been sweet. I should have felt fulfilled, but instead, I wandered through shadows—haunted by insecurities and desperate for connection. I often wished for the key card to my hotel room, which also served as a lifeline, a means to pay for simple things during my stay. My mother had managed that aspect of the trip; she controlled the flow while I felt trapped, unable to seize the reins of my own experience—much like I felt within my community back home.

Yet now, in the fading light of Stafford, there was a flicker of resolve kindling within me. I took a deep breath, feeling the support of those who shared my faith, even amidst doubt. I knew my contributions, however small, mattered in our community. I began to weave a plan, starting with reconnecting to the Trefoil Guild, sending a message to my friends, and reigniting engagement with the church.

If shadows lingered, it was up to me to illuminate their corners with flickers of hope and connection. Faith might stumble under pressure, but its foundations were unshakeable, rooted in love and service. With every step on this path, I would do my best to bring God back into the conversations that seemed to sideline Him, rekindling belief one act of kindness at a time. In this dance of faith and fear, I would learn to trust that both could coexist; after all, they were merely shadows beneath the brilliant light of belief, reminding me to forge ahead—into the light, out of the shadows.

I was super bored several weeks ago and ranked a bunch of different version of one song and that’s been sitting in my notes for a while now but I’m posting this today cause I felt like anyways here’s

Ranking different versions of Almost Like Being in Love by how in love the singer sounds to me

James Taylor- 8/10 the intro threw me off a bit but as soon as he starts singing the man sounds pretty in love (he sounds like he’s reminiscing about a really good day), he’s walking down a pier at sunset having a good time thinking about someone

Natalie Cole-6/10 the first half is not very in love (with the exception of a word or two here) but after she scats a little she sounds much more in love

Seth MacFarlane- 6/10 including the intro makes him sound a lot more in love- trying to sound like Sinatra a little too much (I.e. smug about about being in love) the occasional repeating of words makes him sound a tinny bit more in love

Nat the king Cole- 7/10 the piano is carrying the love feeling here but his diction does sound pretty in love

Frank Sinatra- 4/10 smug about being in love, his repetition of almost didn’t sound in love enough, sounds like walking down the street by yourself after a pretty good date but not a great one

Vic Damone- 2.5/ 10 he’s only singing it cause they told him to not cause he’s in love- he randomly slows down the song to sound more in love and the forcedness of it loses him a point, the repetition of love gets him half a point back, if you told me the horn players were in love I’d believe it but him, nah

Ella Fitzgerald- 8/10 was going to rank this lower but it became progressively more in love, you can hear her smiling, she surprised by her own love

Gene Kelly- 10/10 you can here him smiling, give off an in love sigh, and fall backwards by how in love he is, walking home after meeting the person you’re gonna marry, giddy, childish in a good way, slows down a second because he’s just that in love (take a hint Vic), the classic too emotional to sing so the music takes over for a second all to express how in love he is, the ending 😮‍💨👌🏼

Laura samuels and Sophia Evans- 7/10 Duet!!! Extra points, the speed up tempo gives the stars in theirs eyes as they sing, also gives impression of dancing with their partner at the end, the second singer sounds more in love than the first but both are very happy about being in love, bonus points for the sapphic vibes

Patrick Wilson and Kellie O’Hare- 7/10 very excited that he is in love, Kellie is more in love, the slowed down part was excellent in selling the love

Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy- 6/10 he’s content with being in love, not much to say here, you can here some hearts floating around his head, here Jack is more in love

Shirley Bassey- 4/10 also has a weird, unearned slowed down part, not very in love but doesn’t make me mad by how insultingly indifferent about it it is

Jennifer Nettles- 4.5/10 singing like Madonna not like she’s in love, not much to say just kinda meh, the slowed down part at the ending helps it

Michael Johnson- 1/10 are you trying to seduce me with this song???, the vibe he gives it is completely wrong for this song, I think you CAN believe this is real, the sax is all wrong for this, almost like being in love is NOT a sensual song what are you doing, random woodblock???, at least Vic understood the genre and context of the song

Austin Giorgio- 5/10 for the singer he sounds pretty average about being in love BUT THE BAND 100/10, the band is so great I feel awful about having him so low but man needs to sound in love not just amazing at singing

Jo Stafford- 5/10 She doesn’t sound very in love but I feel pretty in love right now (with her if that wasn’t clear)

Diana Krall- 5/10 very sleepy version, also not too in love but it’s sounds alright, very played quietly at a restaurant vibes

Shy Baldwin- 6.5/10 the girls hate being there but the Dude he’s in love, probably with himself, but in love nonetheless, bonus points for heaven above

Emile- Claire Barlow- 8/10 the intro tricked me (where she already sounds in love) the rest is also very in love, you can hear her smile, it’s ringing just for me 😆😆

David Brooks and Marion Bell- 5/10 he sounds pretty averagely in love, she’s also averagely in love

Jonny Hartman and Gerald Wilson- 6/10 First singer is pretty in love, doesn’t wow me but those dudes are in love (not with each other tho)

Melanie- 5/10 averagely in love but pretty weird version of the song, idk if I like it or not, she’s certainly in love with the drugs she took before this take, I wanna make her score lower for the weird version of the song but it doesn’t effect how in love she sounds

Jonny Mathis- 8/10 he was on love, their love is gone now and I’m upset now, great emotion, give me a bad enough day and this song would 100% make me cry

Chris Conner- 3/10 the stacco of the notes takes away the in loveness, give it room to breath ma’am, changing the rhythm a little feels like it’s forcing the love feeling, not in love

Nicole Henry- 7/10 she’s 100% in love, I really like this version idk what else to say, love the changing context of the song by her additional lyrics at the end

Nancy Wilson- 8/10 Giddy with love, she’s wants to tell everyone she’s in love

Billy Stewart- 6/10 very jazzy, I like how he sings it, and the band is great but as for sounding in love eh, he loves performing

Nana Mouskouri and Torrie Zito- 4/10 interesting arrangement, good voice but doesn’t sound in love

Eydie Gorme- 5/10 slight hispanic edition!!!, average about love but that band is great
