king ubu Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Good Life Words by Jack Reardon and Music by Sascha Distel Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance It's the good life to be free and explore the unknown Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye Not sure this is the whole text, but it's the best I could find. Y'all are familiar with this tunes, since it's included on this perennial favourite: Quote
JSngry Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) Also familiar to millions as a hit single contained on this hit album: But I'll take Hank's version. He plays the lyrics better than Tony sings them. Edited October 15, 2006 by JSngry Quote
brownie Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Always thought it was Frank Sinatra who made a hit of 'The Good Life'! That's what Sacha Distel proudly stated on numerous occasions. Quote
JSngry Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Nope. Sinatra covered it (w/Basie), but Bennett had the big hit. Quote
Tom Storer Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Nope. Sinatra covered it (w/Basie), but Bennett had the big hit. Say, some other singer covered it, too. In the late 80's--not in the late 60's, when she recorded with a killer PIANIST AND BASSIST, Jim! Quote
Bright Moments Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Posted October 15, 2006 not to interrupt you guys - but - this ("good vibes") is one good read!!! just finished a funny story about mary ann mccall! Quote
