I love that song! We sing it in our community choir.

"Jonah in the whale, Noah in the A-a-rk, what did they do, just when everything looked so da-a-ark ..." grin

You sent me to Bing Crosby, and I can't unhear it now. Thanks for that Phoenix sad.

Jalima Thu 18-Aug-16 20:19:55

Jonah?
I got Bing Crosby singing Accentuate the Positive - which is what I thought you meant by some of you need it grin

DS used to sing Jonah when he was in a boys' choir.

It's in the lyrics!:

"You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium is
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate his last remark
*Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark* "

Grannyknot Thu 18-Aug-16 20:37:46

Between Jonah and pollengran I got a bit confused

Thankyou GK my glass is half full again grin

Pollengran when you get a song stuck in your head, I believe it's known as having an "earworm" , it happens to me quite often!

Pollengran Thu 18-Aug-16 21:05:00

Yes, and it is all your fault. I am trying to overide it with "red red the apple is red" grin

Pollengran Thu 18-Aug-16 22:22:35

Noooo! I am never clicking on one of your links again grin

Although of course this might offend some, sorry, perhaps should posted the song only version, but couldn't find it.

Anyway, please try to focus on the sentiment of the lyrics, but I'll get my tin hat ready, just in case.

Pollengran Thu 18-Aug-16 22:25:51

It's fun smile
