Are those two clues connected?
two Differentclues
one Is by dee Dee Sharp
The other is by Liza Minnelli
Since it was Dee Dee Sharp, it has to be Mashed Potato Time.
Did you that Paul Anka’s first hit, Diana, hit #1 nationally when he was just 15? It was his song for his babysitter when he was younger.
mashed potatoes is correct. I remember that about Paul Anka that’s why I was so surprised when I found out that he wrote my way, which is considered to be Frank Sinatra’s signature hit
This is a pure guess on your other hint, New York,New York.
I leave you this puzzler to consider as I am going out foraging for food.
In 1960, two young men from northern Wisconsin covered a 30 year old country song, originally done by Jimmie Rodgers, and took it to #5 on the Billboard pop/rock national chart.
the song was was Cabaret from the movie and play with the same name. It was based on the set of stories by Sherwood would call the Berlin stories about the pre-war era in Germany, Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray star in starred in the movie production
I’m going to guess that would be In the Jailhouse Now.
Or, Frankie and Johnny.
Since we are talking music and I don’t want to start another thread.
I just watched a documentary on Yacht Rock and learned that TOTO was basically a group of session musicians that got together to make a few albums.
Neither is correct. Although, I have heard good versions of In the Jailhouse Now.
