The Mills Brothers - Smoke Rings

Smoke Rings performed by The Mills Brothers, 1932.

Footage from Cinderella starring Mary Pickford, 1914.

"The Mills Brothers were a jazz and pop vocal quartet of the 20th century producing more than 2,000 recordings that sold more than 50 million copies and garnered at least three dozen gold records. The Mills Brothers were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998."

Lyrics:
"Where do they go,
These smoke rings I blow each night?
Oh what do they do these circles of blue and white?
Why do they seem to picture a dream of love?
Why do they fade that phantom parade of love?
Where do they end, the smoke rings I send on high?
Where are they hurled when they've kissed the world good-bye?
Oh, I'd give my life to laugh at this stife below;
I'd be a king, I'd follow each ring I blow.
Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away;
Puff, puff, puff night and day.
Blow, blow them through the air, silky little rings,
Blow, blow them ev'rywhere, give your troubles wings.
What do they tell and what is the spell they cast?
Some of them fall and seem to recall the past.
Oh, little smoke rings I love,
Please take me above, take me with you."

Anyone else tired of that fucking Chuck Norris ad?

[jenzeppelin]

@Gingerblaze Ginger, I totally agree! The worst part is, I disabled all the ads under my account options. I refuse to be a partner, etc. So the ads are waaaaay out of line and Chuck totally clashes with my precious Django. Ahhh! (Just had to vent about the ads!) P.S. Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.
