"CALLIOPE MAN"

Play us a love song, Calliope Man,
Whirling and swirling as fast as you can,
Someone is smiling at me on the big carousel.
Down-up and up-down around-and-around,
Spinning so hard that we might leave the ground.
Don't stop the music, I think I am falling in love, Calliope Man.

Calliope Man, she moves closer whenever you play.
Play away!

Play us a love song, Calliope Man,
Whirling and swirling as fast as you can.
Don't stop the music, I think she is falling in love, Calliope Man.

(From the 1991 album "Matinee Idyll")

Great song Rob. I feel like I'm listening to the soundtrack from a 60s film. Wait -is that Natalie Wood as Daisy Clover or Penelope ? 'Calliope Man "is a joyous song that harkens back to the music of John Denver or Bobby Goldsboro. Very well done indeed Rob!

[Flrczk]

Although your allusions aren't ones to which I resonate, I'm awfully glad you enjoy the song and video!
