Hope you enjoy.Honey
Music *ping*
His songs all make me melancholy. They are good, but prepare to feel sad afterward.
I remember his television show as a young child.
Horrific song. The Christmas Shoes of its time
“Honey” is from 1968, not 1969.
The Smothers Brothers did this one on their show. I believe Dick sang it straight as the “Honey Husband” giving a tour of the original “Honey House.” In the gift shop afterward they sold “Honey I Miss You” buttons and “I Want to Be With You” pillows.
I saw that Smothers Brothers show.
I had to google “Christmas Shoes” to get your point. The gist:
“The boy attempts to purchase a pair of expensive shoes for his terminally-ill mother. The boy explains to the cashier that he hasn’t much time remaining before she finally succumbs to the undisclosed illness and that he wants her to appear presentable before Jesus.”
Should have named it “Casket Shoes” except that bodies in half couch are emplaced without shoes, which would have just gotten stolen.
Anyway, never cared for `death rock’ hits, starting with “Teen Angel”.
Nice!
I hated his songs. Pathos downers. But then, I hated lots of tenny bopper bubble gummer music from the late 1960s.
Yah,I'm a guy...and I know that many women have a very different opinion
She gets into a a car accident and he doesn’t say “Thank God you’re not hurt.”, no he pretends he’s angry and she trembles in fear. She tries to improve their home by planting a tree and what does he do he ridicules her. On top of that he laughs when she injures herself while doing it. How about getting off your lazy butt and giving her a hand. This is not a nice guy. And as for the story he told the neighbors that “ the Angels took her away” , I’m not so sure I wouldn’t have the police dogs out on the property sniffing around particularly under that tree he likes so much.
Apologies to anyone who really does like that song.

Sorry for the double post.
Thank you s96. As you know - I have recently become obsessed with the Sinatras and here is an absolutely precious video. My grown kids all sign off their phone conversations with ‘I love you’ - nothing weird about it.
