Song Challenge (Music that means something ) Day 4

Willow kindly nominated me for this challenge which I have modified a bit to suit present circumstances.

The rules are:
Post a song a day for five consecutive days.
Post what the lyrics mean to you. (Optional)
Post the name of the song and video.
Nominate 1 or 2 bloggers each day of the challenge.

If you wish to participate, please do as I’m not nominating individuals.

The film was Trouble In Store, released in 1953, three years before I was born.
Norman Wisdom was one of the comedians from my childhood who never failed to make me smile, even though by today’s standards his antics would be considered silly.

Just because someone plays the fool or is always laughing doesn’t mean they don’t have a serious side. ‘Don’t Laugh at Me’ showed him in a new light to my young mind, and he remained one of my favourite actors/celebrities.

Norman Wisdom – Don’t Laugh At Me Lyrics

Don’t laugh at me ’cause I’m a fool
I know it’s true, yes I’m a fool
No-one seems to care
I’d give the world to share my life with someone
Who really loves me
I see them all falling in love
But my lucky star hides up above
Someday maybe my star will smile on me
Don’t laugh at me ’cause I’m a fool
I’m not good-looking, I’m not too smart
I may be foolish but I’ve got a heart
I love the flowers, I love the sun
But when I try to love the girls
They laugh at me and run

Songwriters: TREMAYNE, JUNE / WISDOM, NORMAN

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and have a terrible sweet tooth. Best friends are Hubby, our dog Maggie, Bro in NZ, MSM and MOH (and his dog). I am also a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! Due to a nightmare of a house sale in 2014, 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat until April 2017. We made strong friendships both on and off the water, and enjoyed swan and duck families for neighbours. Sadly times change and we were once again house hunting until September. We now reside in a small bungalow a short distance from the beach on the Lincolnshire coast.

  It’s lovely, and I still see him singing it at that little coffee table.

Been listening to Michele McLaughlin as an artist she is brilliant and great music to unwind to. When I am fed up with life I listen to Rap to inspire me to get the f up and keep going. Cheers.
