If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.
Just mind your own business
Mind your own business
If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own.
Why don't mind your own business
Mind your own business.
If you mind your own business you'll stay busy all the time.

Hank Williams

You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day.
You've broken your promise, and you left me here alone
I don't know why you did, dear, but I do know that you're gone.

I'm walkin' the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two.
Walkin' the floor over you

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
Like me, he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Hawaiian War Chant

🔗 https://www.didiermary.fr/hawaiian-war-chant/

« Hawaiian War Chant » was composed by Johnny Noble, who borrowed the melody from Prince Leleiohaku’s 1860 song, « Kaua i ka Huahua’i » (We Two in the Spray).

The chant came to popular attention in 1939, when Tommy Dorsey’s big band covered it as a fast swing number featuring a driving beat played mostly on the tom-toms.

It was not written as a war chant, and the Hawaiian lyrics describe a clandestine meeting between two lovers, not a battle. The English title therefore has nothing to do with the song as it was originally written and performed in Hawaii.

Since Dorsey’s recording, « Hawaiian War Chant » has been interpreted in more different ways by more different artists (The Revelairs, The Ventures, Ray Charles Singers, Henry Mancini, Sonny Lester, Billy Vaughn, Sandy Nelson, …) than just about any other exotica number, ranging from lush string-laden syrup to numerous percussion-only showcases to harpsichord filigrees to Moog bubble pops. It’s one of those instant tip-offs that you’re looking at a piece of exotica-age pop.

Of course, Spike Jones had his own vision…
