Helen Kane (August 4, 1904 , died September 26, 1966) was an American popular singer, her signature song,
"I Wanna Be Loved By You". Fleischer Studios animator Grim Natwick used Kane—along with Clara Bow—
as the model for his studio's most famous creation, Betty Boop.

Born as Helen Schroeder, Kane attended St. Anselms Parochial School in the Bronx.

She was the youngest of three children. Her German immigrant father, Louis Schroeder, was employed intermittently;
her Irish immigrant mother, Ellen (Dixon) Schroeder, worked in a laundry .
Kane's mother reluctantly paid $3 for her daughter's costume as a queen in Kane's first theatrical role at school.

By the time she was 15 years, Kane was onstage professionally, touring the Orpheum Circuit with the Marx Brothers .

She spent the early 1920s trouping in vaudeville as a singer and kickline dancer with a theater engagement
called the 'All Jazz Revue.' She played the New York Palace for the first time in 1921.

Her Broadway days started there as well with the Stars of the Future (1922-24, and a brief revival in early 1927).
She also sang onstage in an early singing trio, The Hamilton Sisters and Fordyce .

Kane's roommate was Jessie Fordyce. Though the act might have become the Hamilton Sisters and Schroeder,
Pearl Hamilton instead chose Fordyce to tour as a trio act "just to see what happens" at the end of a theatrical season.

Kane had excellent diction, intonation and timing, learned during her apprenticeship in vaudeville.
Her songs have a strong word focus, and capitalize on her coquettish voice.

She blended several fashionable styles of the late 1920s.
These included scat singing, a kind of vocal improvisation, and also blending singing and speech.

Sprechgesang ("speech-song") was fashionable at this time in Germany's Weimar Republic
in both nightclubs and in serious music .

Kane recorded 22 songs between 1928 and 1930. After 1930 and up to 1951;
she recorded only five more, including a re-release of "I Wanna Be Loved by You"

I this gay?

Bohemian Rhapsody

Just wondering.

Is that a typo I see?

If we take the "this" out of that quote, it reads, "I gay", being a typo, it might mean "I am gay".

If we take the I out of above quote typo it reads, "this gay" Which could mean "this is gay".

Seein we are getting all teary eyed and poetic, Nuts could be nuts, gay, and think this thread, and his song link is gay too.

Remark the question mark because thats a typo too.

So whats up nutsandvolts, ya GF leave you? "Rhetorical".

JKE. :lol: :lol:


So!

Why do we live?

To eat, $#!+, and die?

Why do we die?

Because we eat s#!+.

Ive seen Freddie Mercury live with Queen in the sydney entertainment centre. Freakin awesome, my hair is standing up on the back of my neck thinking of it now.

I love Queen, Brian May's guitar work, and yes, in my good days and on a good day I could sing "as" good as that master, never better than perfect. Ive had 28 years practice.

Sorry mate I didnt mean to upset you, it was a joke but I fear I went too far.

Is this gay?

Bohemian Rhapsody

Just wondering.

I am sorry but you did ask a question, was this rhetorical too?

Can I please still call you nuts or does this mean we are not seeing each other anymore?

Please see humour.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy,
Caught in a landslide.
So we escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
look up to the skies and see.

Im just a poor boy,
I need no sympathy.
Because Im easy come easy go,
little high, little low.
Anyway the wind blows,
doesnt really matter to me,
To me.

Momma, I just killed a man
put a gun against his head,
pulled the trigger now he's dead.
Momma, life had just begun,
and now i've gone and thrown it all away.

Momma ohhhhh.
I Didnt mean to make you cry,
I sometimes wished Id never been born at all.
Carry on carry on,
as if nothing really matters.

To late,
my time has come.
Send shivers down my spin,
my bodies aching all the time.
Goodbye everybody,
Ive got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Momma ohh ohh oh oh oooh ,
I dont want to die,
If Im not back again this time tomorrow.
carry on carry on.
As if nothing really mattered.

I see a little siloeto of a man
scaramouch, scaramouch,
will you do the fandango,
thunderbolts and lightning
very very frightning indeed.
Galalao, Galaleo, galaleo figaro
magnifico.

Im justa poor boy, nobody loves me,
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.

Easy come easy go will you let me go,
bismilah, we will not let you go
Let him go
Bismilah we will not let you go
Let him go
We will not let you go we will not let you go we will not let you go

well let me go ohh oh oh oh

No no no no no no no
Oh momma mia momma mia let me go.

Beelzabub has a devil put aside for me.
For me, for me for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, (toms toms)

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.

So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Ohhh bay
Cant do this to me baby.
I just gotta get out, I just gotta get right out of here.

Nothing really matters, anyone can can see.
Nothing really matter.
Nothing really matters.
to me

Any way the wind blows.

Chinese gong.

I wrote this from the top of my dome no copycat pasting, so spare me the italian spelling mistakes..

S0 your question was not a question, it was a setup for any passer by to get trapped on it.

Blow the world up, fry children with napalm its all OK, invade every freakin country that may have some technology that might be desired, have comedians that go way past the line all over and more, but get all teary eyed over a few gay jokes

ah huh?

Korea here we run.
