I started reading the news this morning and it was so depressing, I decided to skip it and go straight to music. Swinging on a start sounds like a good choice, don’t you think? This is the Frank Sinatra version. It was the best reproduction I could find.
It’s a cheerful song. Nothing to do with the news and that’s just fine with me. Less is definitely more!

It was a fun song when I was a kid. One of the few songs I still remember from kidhood.

Not so dismal. The Brits now have BoJo and he is always good for a laugh.

They stop being funny REALLY fast. I know. We have a blowhard clown of our own and it’s amazing how soon you lose the humorous part of the experience.

Thanks for that burst of joyous whimsy. Much else, as you say, is far too lowering, and the mainstream media doesn’t even publish the worst of what our leaders get up to.

Sometimes, the level of negativity is almost unbearable. Even if I agree with it, I just need a break. Between the shootings and the political horrors and climate change, ye gods, the world has become such an ugly place. I need a little hint of lightness to keep me from totally losing it.

It’s as if someone pulled down our accustomed curtain of ‘reality’ to show us what is actually going on behind it. I agree. It’s very disturbing, not to say hellish.
