...oh, I'm sorry for the monthlong absence, and I'm still stuck on wondering what to write on this blog. Of course, there are those searching the information highway who may, or may not, have heard of
Goofy About Health, as I basically have mentioned in my last blog post^. I've been searching around the Internet and found the lyrics to this musical number, sung by none other than Kal David (more on him at the end of the post)
So without further ado, let us delve into...
those Unhealthy Living Blues! XC
Health is your responsibility.
Your doctor's your friend, so listen to me.
Running around town is what made you crack.
Blood pressure's up near a heart attack!
You got those unhealthy living blues.
Oh, yeah.
Overeating has added those extra calories
and cholesterol clog up your arteries.
Your body ain't used to those dangerous drugs.
You just can't survive on coffee slugs.
You got those unhealthy living blues.
And if you keep inhaling that cigarette smoke,
you could get emphazema or cancer or stroke!
Drinking too much just ain't that much smart.
It hurts your liver, your brain and your heart.
You got those blues, baby.
You got those unhealthy living blues.
And that's the unhealthy living (high-pitched) blues!
Of course, what's not to like about explaining the shock-horrors of unhealthy living than breaking into song? Anyways, let me get into some more detail about the song's artist. You see, Kal David is well known as a US blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. During his teenage years, his singing career began in 1962 in the form of frontman of his local band
Kal David and the Exceptions (he left the band in 1965)
At the late half of the 60's, he formed a duo with another guitarist Paul Cotton, and they recorded two albums -
Illinois Speed Press (the name of the duo) and
Duet.After David and Cotton went their separate ways, David formed a new group, called
the Fabulous Rhinestones, and throughout the 70's, recorded three more albums:
Fabulous Rhinestones,
Freewheelin', and
Rhinestones.
But enough with the history lesson... triviawise, David is responsible for the voice of
Sonny Eclipse, one of the singing alien audio-animatronics at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe at the Magic Kingdom, as seen here:
. I bet you blogreaders didn't know that, did you?
Anyways, this week marks (surprise) my birthday (I won't go into all details, hopefully), but unfortunately it'll sound like a busy one. So blogreaders, I'm wishing you all the best, till next time!
