“Sweeter than wine

Softer than the summer night

Everything I want, I have

Whenever I held you tight…” - Pomus-Shuman

A good friend

is one who doesn’t complain when you curse the playlist for including a re-recorded version of a childhood favorite instead of “the right” version.

The best kind of friend

smiles patiently while you scream at nobody in particular: “Mono! Mono you fucks!! Nobody owned a stereo in nineteen sixty damn four”.

Lou Reed // This Magic Moment (The Drifters cover)

This magic moment While your lips are close to mine Will last forever Forever till the end of time

So why won´t you dance with me? Hey baby Why won´t you dance with me?

Heard “Save the Last Dance for Me” (The Drifters) for the first time in ages this afternoon on the way to watch my nephew’s last soccer game of the season, and, wow, the song really hit me today.

[song.link for other services]

So much so that I feel so compelled to write a Hosie songfic for it, but man I can’t think of a scenario that’d really make sense.

Oh! I’d been thinking about it from Hope’s POV, but maybe it works better with Josie’s, where everyone is obsessed with Hope? Dunno.

I think it still feels odd from any angle. The only things that seem reasonable to me are that

the speaker is an introvert, wallflower, or not a member of the popular crowd (but still comes to the dance?!), or

it’s a secret relationship (not necessarily that one’s not out yet, but family issues, Romeo & Juliet, cliques, etc.), or

it’s a job somehow (and once the lights are off and the people are gone, the last dance is for them alone).

But the “permissive flirting” or whatever is still hard to reconcile.

Maybe I’m just overthinking it?

On the 4th day of Christmas, Ant-Man gave to you:

✨A poll!✨

Okay okay, here me out though! I'm on a mission. I wanna know which version of White Christmas (the song not the movie, of course) is the best.

One of my momma's favorite Christmas movies is White Christmas, and it's one of mine and Sadie's too. I mean, it's a classic! But we're kinda at odds about the best version of the song.

Momma likes the original with Bing Crosby the best and if my grandparents were around, they would say they do too. But Sadie and I say The Drifters' version is the best (the one from Home Alone).

Not sure? Take a listen before voting. See below.

The Drifters - Please Stay (1961)

This was in my queue already but I moved it up. The Drifters deliver a fantastic version on one of Burt Bacharach’s best early songs, written with Bob Hilliard. I could do with out the doo wop bass “Don’t Go” but it’s still a great tune.  R.I.P. Burt Bacharach.
