Day 32. Oh my goodness, I've sang everything from Sweet Child O Mine to the Spongebob theme song to half the songs from Grease, dance moves included :lol: 

But I'll use a recent one that we do together. We get all theatrical too, hands to the heavens and stuff. Then we go back and forth during the Galileo part. And yea she knows the Queen version and likes it better but she she has this soundtrack so we break it down to this one.

Aww :wub:. I've never liked the film though :ph34r:.

Day 32 - I don't have kids so I'm gonna choose something I loved as a child. I was literally obsessed :headbang:

(the Czech version of it of course)

Day 32

A local song, for older kids:

Spoiler

Lyrics translation:

Narrator: Hear now the story of Kemal, a young prince of the East, descendant of Sinbad the Sailor, who thought he could change the world. But bitter is the will of Allah, and dark are the souls of men.

In the lands of the East once upon a time
the purse was empty and the water stale.
In Mosul and Basra on the old palm tree
the children of the desert now cry bitter tears.

And a young man of an old and royal line
hears the lament and veers towards it.
The Bedouins look at him with a sorrowful glance
and he takes an oath to them that the times will change.

When the lords heard of the boy's fearlessness
they set off with a wolf's fang and a lion's fleece.
From Tigris to Euphrates and from the earth to the sky
they're hunting down the renegade to capture him alive.

The hordes come down on him like rampant dogs
and take him to the Caliph to tie a noose around his neck.
Black honey, black milk he drank that morning
before he drew his final breath on the gallows.

With two old camels and with a red war horse
at the gates of paradise the Prophet awaits.
They go now hand in hand and it's cloudy all around
but the star of Damascus keeps them company.

in a month, in a year, they see Allah before them
and from his high throne he says to the foolish Sinbad:
"My defeated smart-aleck, times do not change,
the world always goes forth by fire and blade"

The first version of the song was recorded in English (I had posted another song from this album on the "a song by an artist from your country" day). The song title was the same, but the original English lyrics, written by Michael Kamen of the band The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, were different from the Greek ones):

 

And something I liked as a little kid, when I was watching old movies on TV every Saturday afternoon. I loved Danny Kaye's movies.

Thumbelina from the film "Hans Christian Andersen":

From "Five Pennies":
