(dessiné par Wentworth Miller)


A la demande générale...

Voici les paroles de deux chansons interprètées par les Princeton Tigertones,
groupe Acapella dans lequel Wentworth Miller (acteur de la série Prison Break) a chanté jadis (en solo).

Titre original de Harold Arlen

 My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, " Son a woman'll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me)
Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me)
A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song,
he knows things are wrong, and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in the night.

Une autre version de cette chanson, par  Katie Melua

THE CAT IS HIGH

Titre original de Duke Ellington

Spoken : Folks I'm mellow as a honeydew! (Oh yeah, yeah)
That cat is high
Look at that look in his eye
On man he's high
The cats higher than a kite
When you see him stumblin'
Up and down the street
You know that cat's been drinkin'
Got no shoes upon his feet
Man he's high
I said that cat is high
Yes he's high
Man he's higher than a kite
That cat is high
Look at that look in his eye
You know I wouldn't lie
That cat is higher than a kite
Boys he's high
Oh look at them two black eyes
Oh me oh my
That cat is higher than the sky
When you see him tippin'
Round and round the block
Oh you know that cat he's very beat
Hip clean down to his socks
That cat is high
Look at that look in his eye
Oh me oh my
That cat is higher than the sky
Yeah!
Instrumental / Scat section...ends with ";Shoot some liquor to me John Boy!";
When you see him stumblin'
Up and down the street
You know that cat's been drinkin'
Got no shoes upon his feet
Man he's high
Yes he's high
My oh my
The cat's higher than a kite
He's high (That cat is high)
So high (That cat is high)
My my (Oh man he's high)
He's high (He's high)
He's high (That cat is high)
So high (That cat is high)
My my (Oh man he's high)
Spoken: I want the home cookin' mama w/ the fryin' pan!
Well I know that cat is high!
Hee hee -- yeah! That's right!
