Long time no see. Am listening to this retro song Casablanca. I wonder how many have heard this song. Here it goes:
I fell in love with you watching Casablanca
Back row at the drive in show in the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars
Became champagne and caviar
Making love on a long hot summer night
I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hands neath the paddle fans
In Rick's candle lit cafe
Hiding the shadows from the spots
A rocky moonlight in your arms
Making magic in the movie in my old Chevrolet
Oh a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I guess there're many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I've never been there so I don't know
I guess our love story will never be seen
On the big wide silver screen
But it hurts just as bad when I had to watch it go
Repeat once
Hmm this song seems to be related to the hit movie of the 40s Casablanca. I have never watched the movie so the plot summary i have here is taken off the net.
Plot summary:
During World War II, Europeans who were fleeing from the Germans, sought refuge in America. But to get there they would first have to go Casablanca and once they get there, they have to obtain exit visas which are not very easy to come by. Now the hottest spot in all of Casablanca is Rick's Cafe which is operated by Rick Blaine, an American expatriate, who for some reason can't return there, and he is also extremely cynical. Now it seems that two German couriers were killed and the documents they were carrying were taken. Now one of Rick's regulars, Ugarte entrusts to him some letters of transit, which he intends to sell but before he does he is arrested for killing the couriers. Captain Renault, the Chief of Police, who is neutral in his political views, informs Rick that Victor Laszlo, the European Resistance leader, is in Casablanca and will do anything to get an exit visa but Renault has been "told" by Major Strasser of the SS, to keep Laszlo in Casablanca. Laszlo goes to Rick's to meet Ugarte, because he was the one Ugarte was going to sell the letters to. But since Ugarte was arrested he has to find another way. Accompanying him is Ilsa Lund, who knew Rick when he was in Paris, and when they meet some of Rick's old wounds reopen. It is obvious that Rick's stone heart was because of her leaving him. And when they learn that Rick has the letters, he refuses to give them to him, because "he doesn't stick his neck out for anyone".
Yep and I think u all can now understand the part "Holding hands neath the paddle fans
In Rick's candle lit cafe " :) Seems to be a rather interesting film. I once wanted to watch Gone With the Wind. But I decided against it when I saw the VCD. I dont know why. But yes I did not buy it. I too once saw the book on sale at Times. But I too did not get the book.
I am done listening with Casablanca. Am listening to something that I dont think anyone would ever listen to- the Soviet National Anthem. Hmmm that is courtesy of my sis. She downloaded it. Though I cant understand it,I think that it sounds very majestic and grand. Unlike our pathetic Majulah Singapura. It doesnt sound half as nice. Hmmm but I think the nicer ones are still God Save the King/Queen and the Star Spangled Banner.
