DaVinci's Notebook - Title of the Song - July 2003

[drinkstwohanded]

anybody know what happened to Bernie here?

[pvreditor]

@drinkstwohanded I sent Bernie a note and asked. He replied but it didn't really clear up what happened. Scroll all the way to the bottom of these comments and read from the bottom... his comment about it is down there.

we have a man down MEDIC! ohh wait he's up

[bbstenor419]

If anyone knows where I can get the sheet music for this please message me.

[pvreditor]

@bbstenor419 I suggest going to the web site of Paul Sabourin and Storm DiConstanza, who wrote the song. Go to paulandstorm (dot) com and leave a message.

There is a davincisnotebook (dot) com site, but it looks like it has been hijacked from the band's original site.

This just made my day. Very funny. :)

This song, lyrically, is the best ever penned. It's a shame (and more than a bit telling) that people don't "get it". DVN was, by far, the greatest a capella group to have ever performed. And, for every group that attempts to perform this in the future, two things: 1) Great choice, and 2) Don't forget the Boy Band Choreography! That really makes it!

Thanks so much for uploading this!

@emilynrory You are very welcome. I don't know that this is the best song ever written, but it holds its own against some great songs. DVN was the whole package: excellent voices, superb songwriting and and a highly entertaining stage presence. They were maybe five years ahead of their time.

If you haven't seen it, watch my upload of "Magic Kingdom in the Sky"... hilarious!

@emilynrory i agree smart humor is wated on simple minds who only understand the joke if it is thrown in their face like a pie or followed by a fart

[emilynrory]

@JTheFatalist Well said!

I looked at it several times to see what happened to Bernie. At first I thought Storm stepped on his hand, the way Bernie snatched his hand up, but then the way he leaned against the set ... maybe he was nauseated from being spun around? Hard to tell. His response quoted below clears up exactly nothing. :)

[pvreditor]

@recoveringatty11 Yeah, I really wanted to know what happened but he didn't say. At least I got the song on tape.

[SouthendUtd4Life]

Brilliant! :)

[CoasterFreak118]

Modulation and I hold a high nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooote

[pvreditor]

@CoasterFreak118 I know.... hilarious!

[arjay1382]

what happened to bernie?

[pvreditor]

@arjay1382 I don't know exactly what happened to Bernie, but read the comments down further for more information.

[animeelimentalist]

oh man. please tell me you have another irish drinking song!

[choachie150]

I can't hear anything... :(

[pvreditor]

@choachie150 Hmmm... works for me.

[dukefan24112]

@choachie150 turn your speakers on

[choachie150]

@dukefan24112 They were on. My sound gave out. Total computer flaw/problem. XP

Audio quality isn't as good as the album copy, but the video and ad-libbing more than make up for it. . . these guys have GOT to make a proper music video of this.

[pvreditor]

An official video would be wonderful, but DVN mostly broke up in 2005 or so. The guys have gotten together once or twice since then, but mostly it's Paul & Storm recording as a duo. I must have seen DVN 25 times when they were together... probably the best act I ever saw.

[Doosky17]

Thanks for posting this. I used to love listening to these guys on the Bob and Tom Show.

What happened to the guy that went off stage?

I'm also looking for Secret Asian Man.

[pvreditor]

You're welcome!

It was Bernie Muller-Thym that seemed to have some sort of injury. What (if anything) happened to him was not mentioned. I had the impression that his feelings were hurt about something but really have no idea.

I think DVN did "Secret Asian Man" at this show but I didn't get it on tape. I did get DVN's version of "Sgt. Pepper's/With a Little Help From My Friends" but haven't uploaded it yet.

Thanks for stopping by!

[pvreditor]

I sent a message to Bernie and asked about what happened. Here's what he said:

"Unfortunately I had lots of problems on stage !! Thanks for caring. DVN is a dream now."

[VictoryAh95]

[pvreditor]

I agree... thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
