Tra La... It's May

"Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear

It's May, It's May, that gorgeous holiday
When every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad
It's mad, it's gay, a libelous display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May

Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does it's scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating everywhere?
Don't you know, it's that dear forbidden fruit

It's May, the lusty month of May
That darling month when everyone throws self-control away
It's time to do a wretched thing or two
And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue

It's May, it's May, the month of "Yes, you may"
The time for every frivolous whim, proper or im-
It's wild, it's gay, depraved in every way
The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast
The Lusty Month of May

Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear

It's May, it's may, the month of great dismay
when all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un-
It's mad, it's gay, a libelous display
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks
Everyone makes divine mistakes
The Lusty Month of May"


-from the musical Camelot by Lerner and Loewe

Just thought I'd mention this.

Saw "Crash" last week and really liked it. Thought the performances (other than Brendan Fraser obviously) were great (specifically Thandie Newton and Sandra Bullock in a small but important role) and the cinematography and music were also excellent. Screenplay was a bit off, but nevertheless it was a good movie. B+ from me.

...Although I have a feeling you wouldn't like it.

Meanwhile, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy blows. Just... really dull and boring and pointless and neverending. Great sets though! C-

Oh, and also. 3 things about the calendar so far.

1. Why no mention of HOUSE OF WAX?! Obviously this movie if going to win Best Picture next year and win all of it's stars Oscars. I mean, seriously, NO. CONTEST.

2. Man, I get so pumped when I find out others like The Brady Bunch movie! It was seriously genius. I can laugh all day with that movie.

3. I've also thought Gordon-Levitt was a nice looking young chap (of course, we were similar ages as he was on Third Rock) but the picture looks... well, yummy. Mysterious Skin sounds interesting. Plus it has Dawn!

But you didn't like it...

It's a shame I didn't see this page until like two years after it was posted...
Those are the real lyrics? I guess they changed them for my elementary school musical...
