My apologies to Barry Man and Cynthia Weil who wrote the Bossa Nova song and Eydie Gorme who made it popular. In the middle of the night my dog Chelsea woke me to let her out. Unfortunately, my ambien was more exhausted than I was, and I began to think about this song. One thing led to another, and then here I am…please sing along to Bossa Nova melody:
I was in a trance when they caught my eye
Makin’ yellow balls fairly seem to fly
From within my trance, watchin’ highs and lows
And soon I knew I’d never let them go
Blame it on Australian Open with its magic spell
Blame it on Australian Open that they played so well
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on Australian Open
From deuce to love.
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, Australian Open
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, Australian Open
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, Australian Open
[Instrumental]
Now I’m sad to say I’m without TV
And I’m hooked on crack and spelling bees
And when my wife asks how it came about
I’m gonna say to her without a doubt
Blame it on Australian Open with its magic spell
Blame it on Australian Open that they played so well
Oh, it all began with just one little trance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on Australian Open
From deuce to love.
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, Australian Open
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, Australian Open
(Now was it the tune? )
Yeah, yeah, Australian Open
(from deuce to love)
(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, Australian Open
(Or the stars above ?)
[Fade]
And Fade is what I need to do…deliver me from insomnia…it clearly doesn’t bode well for my creativity.
P.S. The reference to hooked on “crack” refers to Trivia Crack, that insanely addictive game that I play now along with my “spelling bees” (Words with Friends). I really need to get a life – or just wait for Roland Garros.

Chelsea has always been trouble. Good thing it was at your house and not mine.. My back is out and I’m in the mood to whine about it.

OOOOHhhhh…back out = go ahead and whine. Teresa and I both have back problems, and thank goodness we get them at separate times or it would sound like the Wailing Wall in Casa de Canterbury.
I do recommend getting one of those massage table body-length heating pads – works miracles on my sciatica!
I am so sorry…I feel your pain…truly…and hope it gets better soon.

Hi Ann,
I apparently have more “cracks” than the paved brick walkway in my back yard – and that’s going some!! Have a good one!!
