MP Video - Who's On First?

Besides The Three Stooges, there are some other comedians from the old days who could actually play with words and be hilarious about it. Abbott and Costello had numerous word-plays in their acts that became so unforgettable. One of them was that number when they had misunderstanding between twenty-too and twenty-two. But It has been said a lot that the all timer one is that called "Who's On First". And I can't agree more.

I had it recorded on a cassette awhile ago and I played it so many times in my car until it's stuck in my memory. I lost the video of it recorded from TV when I was still abroad, but I was so lucky to find that particular segment in a their movie called Naughty Nineties I rented from a laser disc rental place nearby Pasar Rumput. And I was even luckier to find this clip in the internet. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

MP Video - The Tonight Show

This show lasted 30 years with Johnny Carson. It's true that he had over 20,000 celebrities as guests but he was a great comedian on the first place. Not only he always made great and funny comments about what went on the world in his monologue, the show also had segments which showed how talented and smart he was. Of course, he was backed up by a brilliant writing team as well. I never got tired of watching it whenever I had time (and a TV set available) during my college years.
I hope someday our own talk show hosts will be like him so their show will last long enough.
This piece shows why Johnny Carson will always be the master.

All I Ask of You

A friend once urged me to see Phantom Of The Opera. I wasn't interested in it since I had never been to opera before. But she gave a very high recommendation of it and since she kept saying that even guys like me would like it (and that she would take me to it), I finally went to the show. She was right. I did love it so much. I had always thought operas were boring that I would've fallen asleep watching it. I was wrong. I even went again for the second time just to make sure if I  had missed anything on the first time. This song was probably the best tune from it. 

ALL I ASK OF YOU

RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...


CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you


RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...


CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...


RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you...


CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Say you love me...


RAOUL
You know I do...


BOTH
Love me - that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you...
