Vel Tones - I Do

* Goldwax Records, 301 - "Darling" / "I Do" (1966)

Who needs two arms to hold them tight ? I do
Who needs sweet kisses every night darlin ? I do
What kind of fool would lose his head every time he is fond of you

Who wants to fall in love ?
I do

Who want to see the same old face every day ? I do
Who want to hear those foolish things you say, darling ? I do
Who wants to change his carefree ways and spend the rest of his life with you ?

Now who wants to fall in love ?
I do

Someone want to fall in love with you
Someone want to give all his love to you, guess who ?

Who needs a tender hand to hold ? I do
Who needs someone when nights too cold, darling ? I do
Who want to tie himself (...) and spend the rest of his life with you

Now who wants to say I do ? I do
Pretty little angel
Who wants to say I do ? I do

Lovelites - How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad

* Lock, 723 - "How Can I Tell My Mom & Dad" / "Hey! Stars Of Tomorrow" (Instrumental) (1969)


Not to be confused with the girl groups from Phi-Dan, these Lovelites were from Chicago. Teen pregnancy and running away from your parents in a soul single...

How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad

Will they understand
How much I love that man
And oh, will they ever know
How much he's hurt me so

I know I was a fool
To be loved by you
But I've got to find a way
But what can I say

(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Oh, please) That I've been bad

He told me that he loved me
And that our love was true
Oh, but when we made me mother-to-be
He disappeared on me

Now I'm so ashamed
'Cause you quit the game
And left me here to be
In all this misery


Should I go up to mama
And say, "Guess what I've done" No-no
Or disappear in the night
And let them notice I'm gone {No-no}

Or should I go out and do
Somethin' I wouldn't want to {No-no}
Or stand up like a big girl
And tell 'em about me and you

(Daddy will be so terrified) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Yes, he will) That I've been bad
(Mom's so upset that she'll wanna die) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me) That I've been bad

(How can I tell them I'm a mother-to-be)
How-how-how-how I've been bad
(Help me explain to them he does love me)
How-how-how-how I've been bad

4. SANDY "What was that? What was that?"
DORRIE "Hey, that's so pretty. A pigeon!"
SANDY "Geez...no, it's not pretty at all. They're...they're...they're rats with wings."
DORRIE "They're wonderful. No! It's probably a good omen. It'll bring us good luck."
SANDY "No...no, get it out of here. It's probably one of those killer pigeons."
DORRIE "No, get something for it to eat. We can coax it down! What are you doing? Hey, wait!"
SANDY "You see, it's got a swastika under its wings."
DORRIE "It's wonderful. Not that.

5. Reno Smith: I don't know! Somebody's always looking for something in this part of the West. To the historian it's the Old West, to the book writer it's the Wild West, to the businessman it's the Undeveloped West -- they say we're all poor and backward, and I guess we are, we don't even have enough water. But to us, this place is *our* West, and I wish they'd leave us alone! (Robert Ryan, Bad Day At Black Rock)

BONUS : A WOMAN IN THE AUDIENCE "A lot of people have accused you of being narcissistic."

SANDY "Zeus." (Stardust Memories)
