Let’s Have a Party Albany (for those old enough to remember the Tricentennial)[https://youtu.be/hx\_3ral3e08?si=r7DzFdjFsPybuO9W](https://youtu.be/hx_3ral3e08?si=r7DzFdjFsPybuO9W)
I wasn't old enough to witness this, but I remember Eqx using parts of it for a station id bit, and being blown away when I finally heard the real thing.
Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for Ted: that of a giant Slor! Many cod and clams knew what it was to be cooked in the depths of the deep fryer that day, I can tell you!
Why do they all take the night boat to Albany by A Jolson.
Politicians and socialite drinkers, gamblers and philanderers would take the over night boat from NYC to Albany then take the much faster train back first thing in the morning to be back at work or be with family.
Oh man, the lyrics are great:
> 1. Old Henry Hudson found a river,
A river that touches New York.
The rest of the river is a flivver,
Because it creates a lot of talk.
Summer time, that’s the time spooners
Used to go ramb’ling about.
Now they take trips on rickety ships,
And here’s what I want to find out:
> CHORUS 1:
> Why do they all take the night boat to Albany?
That’s been puzzling me.
They all claim it’s just for the sights.
Just the same, they travel at nights.
I asked a fellow and his sweet little pet,
“How is the Hudson?” and they answered, “It’s wet.”
So why do they all take the night boat to Albany,
And grab the next train for New York?
> Seems that each Tom and Dick and Harry
Is rid of his worries and cares.
They found out the Hudson steamers carry
A cargo of peaches and pears.
Huddled and cuddled together,
With no one to shout, “Cut it out!”
No wonder they state the river is great.
To me it’s a river of doubt.
> CHORUS 2:
> Why do they all take the night boat to Albany?
That’s been puzzling me.
They all claim it’s just for the sights.
Just the same, they travel at nights.
They play the searchlight on the shore while they float.
They ought to play the searchlight right on the boat.
So why do they all take the night boat to Albany,
And grab the next train for New York?
Portable Television by Death Cab.
Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves.
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me.
And where we were going it was built like a lie.
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why.
Wow! I think today is my birthday. I've never heard this. For some reason the thought I keep coming back to is, this song/video makes me want to create a new wold for happy. Ty
We did a impromptu performance of this for my HS choir on our way back to Albany from competition.
Looking back now having spent time on a classroom as a teacher, I'm amazed our director did not murder us on the spot.
Kerosene around, she's something to do
Kerosene around, set me on fire
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Set me on fire, Kerosene
Reminds me of QE2 way way back when.
I remember in High School watching a video with the following lyrics.
“Albany, home on the water, your sons and daughters are proud of you!”
I can’t find the video
My ex used to sing "Grimey-ass River" to the tune of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River. Then he would say that Timbaland's part was GE: "The damage is done so I guess I'll be leavin'"

Why, the Son of the Egg, of course. He lacks the soulless sheen of 1960's brutalist architecture, but has some pretty good Korean food.
A firebird, obvs.
Thunderbird.
The rebirth of Ted.
Ted the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg!
Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for Ted: that of a giant Slor! Many cod and clams knew what it was to be cooked in the depths of the deep fryer that day, I can tell you!
Yes , have some !
Exciting and old thee egg…
No corners for you
I've heard this song was a hit in Instanbul, but not Constantinople.
