The "name that tune" series with a twist. Can you reconstruct the original lyric after translation through half a dozen languages and identify the song?
Lol. She once winked at me from the stage during that exact same verse and she then said “You can always trust the lambily [family of fans] to know all the lyrics” 😅
It’s because one of her background singers would call her (and she would call him) lamb as a term of endearment. Fans heard it and started calling themselves lambs. This was before other female singers started doing the same by naming their fanbase.
I figured it was a setup for Andy from the start!😀 I would never have gotten it anyway, but being on the West Coast of the US I have a distinct disadvantage unless I set my alarm for 4 AM.😴 Now I’m waiting for you to choose a song by Rush!🤣
I have in the past posted songs with specific people in mind and generally the people I think will get it actually do! I’ll have to see if I can drum up a Steve Goldberg special 😆
Oh the one time when California isn’t the centre of the world! 😂 What do you mean? The world doesn’t revolve around California?! Help, it’s the aplocalypse! 🤣🤣
🤣 No, California isn't the center (we put the r after the e here, like it should go) of the world. It's the beginning of the world. It's where the world starts! 🙊 You get the cool accents and most of the world's greatest bands -- isn't that enough?
That’s what I was saying - you have most of the best bands. It’s probably because the weather is so bad young people start bands to avoid the outdoors. Or they save it all up for Glastonbury!
I had read very quickly and thought you said California had the greatest bands 😅
“Weather is so bad”— are you sunbathing in Santa Monica, by any chance? Because last time I checked you were in northern California, with beautiful landscapes, fair, BUT where the climate can be as bad as in England, so... 😂
Funny story: I did a California road trip with my husband a while back and when we got to Monterey (from Santa Barbara and LA) my first words were “But it’s freezing here! We might as well go back to London!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! You must have come during the summer! Your guidebooks should have mentioned the famous quote by Mark Twain, “The coldest winter I ever experienced was the summer in San Francisco.” It’s easy to locate the tourists here because they’re the people not wearing heavy jackets. So next time you come here, I suggest October. You can even stay at Casa de Earworm as we have a guest suite now!
Images of rapture creeping to me slowly! Mariah’s Fantasy?!
Oh Andy, how could you NOT be the first one to get the right answer?!? Indeed, it is Mariah’s “Fantasy”!!
Lol. She once winked at me from the stage during that exact same verse and she then said “You can always trust the lambily [family of fans] to know all the lyrics” 😅
Haha that’s great! Gotta say, I’d never heard the term “lambily” before!
It’s because one of her background singers would call her (and she would call him) lamb as a term of endearment. Fans heard it and started calling themselves lambs. This was before other female singers started doing the same by naming their fanbase.
It's gotta be, right?
Indeed! My heart beats faster when I sense her energy nearby 🤣

If it’s the beginning why is it lagging behind time-zone wise?
Also: Beatles. Stones. Led Zep. Floyd. Queen. Who. Smiths. Genesis. Depeche Mode. The Police. I rest my case 😅
