The comings and goings lately reminded me that...
Another hundred people
Just got off of the train
And came up through the ground
While
Another hundred people
Just got off of the bus
And are looking around
At
Another hundred people
Who got off of the plane
And are looking at us
Who got off-a the train
and the plane and the bus
Maybe yesterday.
It's a city of strangers.
Some come to work
Some to play.
It's a city of strangers,
Some to stare,
Some to stay.
And everyday
The ones who stay
Can find each other...
So true Jose',
So true...
But we should have some memorial services for those that have departed...
I still hold out hope for the eventual return of some. "We'll put a candle in the window to light your way back home...."

That's so weird! All the departures made me think of the song sung by Jet Screamer, the Conrad-Birdie-like rock star on The Jetsons. He sang:
"EEP APP ORK AH-AH
EEP APP ORK AH-AH
EEP APP ORK AH-AH
EEP APP ORK AH-AH"

And not "EEP APP ORK AH-AH?"
that song is so true Jose'
hopefully they will return soon..
Ok, Namo, this is weird... I grew up in latin america so all the shows I saw as a kid were dubbed, so I never really get those pop culture references. Alas... I do remember the song! Yay!
I had "Another Hundred People" stuck in my head most of the day. I love that song.
Gotta move
Gotta get out
Gotta leave this place
Gotta find someplace...
Some go away.
*sniff*
Hand me that hankie.
Destiny- that icon. is great.

Namo, "EEP APP ORK AH-AH" brings tears to my eyes...
It so beautifully sums up the way I am feeling at the moment!
who has seen Sandy Duncan, of all people, totally RULING with "Hundred People" in the television musical theatre documentary hosted by the wax-figure-like widow of Danny Kaye, Sylvia Fine? we're talking vintage here...Sandy does "Another Hundred" and "Ballin the Jack", Bernadette is in bed with Richard Chamberlain (of all people) to do "Barcelona" and does "Moon Belongs to Everyone/Best Things in Life are Free"...and *trivia bonus* who can name the show from which "Jack" and "Moon" originate?!?!?
