Oh Darklings,
Already the leaves are beginning to fall and curl hinting at Autumn to come. Halloween is just around the corner!!!
That does get me excited.
But I'm going to have to make this a short post as my niece and her Mother will be here any minute.
I've got to list another magazine link or two in the next few days, that I think all you Gothic Beauties will love.
Doyle is doing well, the Urologist just wants to keep him on antibiotics for another 4 weeks, plus a pro-biotic and then more follow up ultra sounds, blood and urine tests and doctor appointments to see how he is progressing.
He can go back to his job but he's going to be doing desk duty, no more risks to the vital areas for a while so limited functions. He's happy about that he was climbing the walls here at home, and then I can go back to work in 2 weeks but again just a few days a week, well at least things won't be boring or dull, not that it ever is in our home.
But we still have to post pone the vacation plans Oh Pooh!!! Well I can focus on the Halloween decorations and see what Spirit has to offer.
But right now Coralline, her Mom and I are going clothes shopping for Coralline, she's out growing her clothes and shoes, and we still need to get her supplies for school, and they are here, already Coralline is tugging at my sleeve singing "Faro-La, Faro-Lee"
Yes my Darklings---last night they were showing "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" with one of the only few (with the exception of "Phantom of the Opera") musical numbers to find in a horror movie.
And her parents let her and the boys stay up late to watch it..."Come one and all and sing this song, Faro-la faro lee, for life is short but death is long, faro-la faro lee"...
Oh dear we all now have an "earwig" running in our brains---Faro-La, Faro Lee....
Later Darklings----I must Flyyyyyyyyyyyy.......

Of "Faro-La Faro Li"~~~~
Oh Darklings!
That song has been running through my head all weekend and even today, it just won't leave my brain. People have called that problem an "ear wigg" that is a song that just won't stop running in one's head, but this one is from a Universal Horror movie "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman".
I think, with the exception of the 1943 "Phantom of the Opera" this is the only musical number from any pre-1950 Universal Horror Movie and it won't stop playing in my head.
Here are the lyrics---and I think there is a You Tube video of it as well.
~~~~~~~~
From the film "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman" (1943)
(Curt Siodmak / Hans J. Salter)
Adia Kuznetzoff (Film Soundtrack) - 1943
Judy Kaye and The Scarlettes - 2003
Come one and all and sing a song
Faro-la, faro-li!
Chrs: Faro-la, faro-li
For life is short, but death is long
Faro-la, faro-li!
Chrs: Faro-la-faro-li
There'll be no music in the tomb
So sing with joy and down with gloom
Tonight the new wine is in bloom
Faro-la, faro-li!
Chrs: fla, fli
Tonight we toast our happy host
Faro-la, faro-li!
For he's the man we love the most
Faro-la, faro-li!
He's barrel-chested, dipper-lipped
For drinking wine, he's well-equipped
But where's his chest? It must have slipped
Faro-la, faro-li!
If Franzec never drank at all
Faro-la, faro-li!
He might not care for alchohol
Faro-la, faro-li!
But since he drinks them by the score
He loves his bottles more and more
He even likes them on the floor
Faro-la, faro-li!
Now here's a pair of newly-weds
Faro-la, faro-li!
With love and kisses in their heads
Faro-la, faro-li!
Tonight theres only he and she
Just one and two, as you can see
But very soon they may be three
Faro-la, faro-li!
The wine tonight is nobly blessed
Faro-la, faro-li!
By such a lady and her guest
Faro-la, faro-li!
To them a toast, come drink with me
That they may ever happy be
And may they live eternally
Faro-la, faro-li!
Come one and all and sing a song
Faro-la, faro-li!
For life is short, (break) but death is long (stretch it out)
Faro-la, faro-li!!! (copywrite Universal Studios I make no claim to this and present it only for your pleasure) ~~~~~ We had come home and we were all restless from our Christmas activities so we settled down to watch Svengoolie's presentation of "Frankenstien Meets the Wolfman" (Where Wolf? There Wolf. Opps sorry wrong movie) well they did the "Song of the New Wine (Faro-La, Faro-Li) and it got stuck in my head, my sister's head and Coralline's head.
Yes, Coralline had it stuck in her head as well, she was singing it as she danced down the hall to her bedroom. Oh Dear, I thought, an "ear wigg" and you have to be careful because you may start to sing it at the most incorrect of times. I did that this morning at work after I had found an answer to a question and my co-workers looked at me with quizzical expressions so all I said was "EAR WIGG!!" that explained it to them.
When we dropped Coralline off at her parents we warned her to not sing the song at school that the teachers might not like it. She understood, but she said she could at least humm it, well at least that's a compromise, but I did warn her Mother just in case.
It's going to take time for it to get out of my head, I've been listening to other music but so far it is not working, I think I'll try Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" next, it might do the trick.
