Anything Goes : Great song for Children's animated movie by Woody Splawn

This is a great song for a children's animated movie, and like all good songs, this one mirrors real-life. On the surface it looks like a children's song, written in a simple, childish-way. True, kids seem to like it a lot, but i It's much more than that. It's written on "levels" and is actually a song about me and my first wife. The lyrics go: Clarence (me) was a frog and he lived beneath the moon and his heart went thump and his eyes bugged out when he thought about his girlfriend Celia (my first wife) But she didn't know Clarence was alive and ya know it even made him cry. Though the moon came up and the stars shown bright and the nights were made for love Clarence sat alone in the middle of the pond shootin flies with his big dumb tongue (me again - grin) The song goes on from there. Please see the video section of my profile to hear the song in it's entirety. This is nothing polished. Just me and a synthesizer, but please listen with earphones or good speakers. Actually, the lyrics tell the story best so I'll continue with a recital of them here. Cause Clarence didn't know. how to let his feelings show No he couldn't relate So he'd sit and wait by himself on his Lilly-pad home But then one night with his mind a fright He decided to change his ways. So he sang his song but he sang so strong That the other frogs moved away (me again) So Clarence never knew What the other froggies do No he never found out what it’s all about And he croaked all alone and blue. (Note: at this point in time - forty years ago - I heard myself write that line. Said "ha ha" and put it away and forgot about it. Then about 10 years ago I said to myself. This is no way to end a song, so I penned the following) But then one night with his mind a fright He decided to change his ways So he sang his song and he sang so long That the other frogs let him stay So Clarence finally knew what the other froggies do Yes he finally found out what it's all about and he lived --- the way he was --- supposed to. That's what happend in real life. At the time I wrote the song I was on the fast track to trying to make it in the music business business, and indulging in all the lifestyle that goes along with it. If I had stayed on that track I think I would have "croaked all alone and blue", there would have been only one or two people that cared, and life would have been a big joke from beginning to end. But fortunately, by the grace of God I found a better way. This recording (located in my profile) like all my others, it is not a "Master". It's a "Demo". I put it together just so anyone who is serious about it will get the idea. You obviously will need to go into a studio to do it right. But I have all the sheet-music and it's easily reproduced. © Copyright Registration: PA u 2-744-830 . Email: wsplawn@comcast.net
