Repeat Thursday: Shipoopi!
I know that it is Friday, not Thursday, but let that be our own little secret. This week’s Repeat entry, does NOT involve my beloved Meat Loaf (GASP!) but Peter Griffin from Family Guy.
For those of you who watch Family Guy regularly, you know that FG loves music and musicals. MANY of the episodes have musical interludes and this week’s Repeat Thursday high lights one of those songs. The episode that I want to bring attention to is “Patriot Games” in which Peter becomes a football player, and ends up playing for London’s Silly Nannies team, the worst team in England. After making a touchdown, Peter ends up performing an entire song with audience choreography. The song he sings is “Shipoopi” which was written originally for the 1957 musical “The Music Man“
Here is the version from The Music Man:
Here is the Family Guy version (This is my FAVORITE version!):
Here are the lyrics:
Now a woman who’ll kiss on a very first date, Is usually a hussy, And a woman who’ll kiss on the second time out, Is anything but fussy, But a woman who’ll wait ’till the 3rd time around, Head in the clouds, feet on the ground, She’s the girl he’s glad he’s found, She’s his Shipoopi.
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi, The girl who’s hard to get. Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi, But you can win her yet.
Walk her once just to raise the curtain, Then you walk around twice and you make for certain. Once more in the flower garden, She will never get sore if you beg her pardon.
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, Si, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do.
Squeeze her once when she isn’t lookin’. If you get a squeeze back that’s fancy cookin’. Once more for a pepper-upper, She will never get sore on her way to supper,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, si, do,
Now little ol’ sal was a No-gal, As anyone could see, Look at her now, She’s a Go-Gal, Who only goes for me,
Squeeze her once when she isn’t lookin’. If you get a squeeze back that’s fancy cookin’. Once more for a pepper-upper, She will never get sore on her way to supper,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, si, do,
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi, The girl who’s hard to get, Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi, But you can win her yet.
(Musical/Dance Break)
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi, The girl who’s hard to get. Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi, But you can win her yet.
You can win her yet!
Shipoopi!
ANTM: Three Cheers for Whitney!!!
I have to admit, I am a closet America’s Next Top Model Fan, I love everything about the show, and I always root for the girl who stands out physically – the one who is NOT a size 0-2 and actually eats more than lettuce for dinner.
So, naturally for Cycle 10, which just had it’s finale tonight, I was rooting for Whitney, the FULL FIGURED model on the show. She was the only girl who had a body that didn’t remind me of a 12 year old boy. Also, Whitney is from my hometown of Atlantic Beach, FL and she went to my high school as well!!
Unfortunately I never met her while in high school, because I’m 22 almost 23 now, so I would have been an upper classman when she was a freshman, and I wanted nothing to do with the fresh meat LOL! Still, it is amazing that she won the contest, and it is a wonderful thing to have such a hometown beauty!!
