A Cheesy Song To Go With a Cheesy Photo
Oh looky here! Yes, it’s being circulated around. Many intelligent captions in the column’s comments section. More commentary here. Also, being circulated on Twitter and Facebook. Now what comes to mind when you first look at this?
Well, it does scream that his tabby cat has rejected him. Or hell! Even his imaginary friends don’t like playing with him.
Yet, like any other photo of Steve, it just resonates cheesy. And now, unfortunately, I’ve got a matching cheesy song in my head now!!!
Aarrgghh!! Get outy! outy! outy! What’s worse is I think this would be Brother Steve’s favourite kind of music…next to elevator music that is!
Now I’ve got to turn on my folky hippie music to get all that cheesiness out of my head. Perhaps I need another cheesy earworm. Neil Sedaka or Nickelback anyone?
And for good measure; here are the lyrics!
(Bobby Vinton and Gene Allan)
Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
Now I’m a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I’ve been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed
Now I’m a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
