i just remembered something from when i was a child re Sound of Music. My sister and I and some family friends performed at Butlins in Bognor Regis. We sang this: So Long, farewell.... Children: There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall And the bells in the steeple too And up in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say “cuckoo” Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Cuckoo, cuckoo Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo To say goodbye . . . Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Cuckoo! Children: . . . to you Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night Marta: I hate to go and leave this pretty sight Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu Friedrich: Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu Children: So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen Liesl: I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Kurt: I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye! Brigitta: I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie Louisa: I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly Gretl: The sun has gone to bed and so must I Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Guests: Goodbye!

I watched Sister Act 2 with my two daughters and we loved it, it's a real 'feel good' film. I can't understand why any tv station would consider putting The Sound of Music on again though. I'm sure we're all sick of it by now. Louise

Oh no, how can you be tired of The Sound of Music. I put up a thread earlier about Dr Doolittle. I love all soppy films & I also watched Sister Act Two. I could watch this type of film back to back all day everyday. Can I have Brigadoon next & then Finnegans Rainbow, My Fair Lady, Carousel, oh so many, I love them all. Vivienne xx

Sandra B Report 29 May 2006 16:22

I agree Linen Lady,much better than some of the films these days......I think it is time for a remake of Brigadoon, using propers Scottish Scenery......My dinner service is called Brigadoon.....( useless information !!)
