To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'.
Here are the lyrics she used:
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string, These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin', Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin, And we won't mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel so bad. >>>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>> Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.
Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it...
What a risk Mary Poppins took in Victor Victoria but she pulled it off with aplomb.
Someone has already mentioned in but Favorite Things is one pf my favorite songs ... grew up hearing it every Sunday after church on the record player. Know it by heart. One of the greatest movies, probably THE greatest musical, ever made.
I think Christopher Plummer may stil be alive as well.
AARP sent me yet another solicitation today. They can eat a dick.
Ms Andrews on the other hand, was always a favorite. Classy gal. Bet she never pooped in her marriage bedβ¦β¦.
They keep sending me crap and I responded on multiple occasions to stop as I wasn't interested in their socialist agenda. Still they kept coming AND with a postage paid return envelopes for me to send them my subscriptions. So I took a box, put a couple of bricks in it and sent it back. That was about five years ago. Have not heard from then since.
Duncan underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumor behind her left optic nerve. As a result, she lost vision in the eye, but it was not replaced with a prosthetic eye, as some urban myths claim.
