Have to wonder where the $600k went

Have to wonder where the $600k went

The DoD hasn't "passed" an audit in decades. Odds are that money just sat there or it was burned through during the end of the FY shopping sprees.

TIL that the Frank Sinatra song New York, New York was released in … the 1980s (!).. Like, not a remake or whatever (though it was actually a cover of the original 1977 song New York, New York by Judy Garland’s daughter- which i also learned today) .. but the original Frank Sinatra version of the song was released in 1980… all my life i thought it was a standard from the 1940s or 1950s.. im kind of embarrassed , and im shook .


Im gonna need some of yall to either ridicule me, or to reassure me that im not the only one who thought this classic was released decades earlier .

No ridicule from me since TIL. The only thing I know about it was that it signaled closing time at a place my roommate and I went to every Thursday night (ladies nite 2fers) in the 80's. I also didn't know it was a remake.
Love that song

I never thought it was recorded before the 70s because I never remember hearing it that long ago. But I must admit that if you would have asked me if I knew when Sinatra sang that song, I would have guessed that it was prior to the 80s. I did know that Liza Minnelli sang the song also, but I would have had to guess who recorded the original and who made the cover. After looking it up, I learned that it was the theme song of a Martin Scorsese musical flick by the same name. Of course you already know that I lack interest in movies. But thanks for adding to my memory bank of music trivia!

No, sorry i guess I wasn’t clear.. I knew that Manelli was the daughter of Judy Garland.. what i didnt know is that she was the OG singer of New York, New York and that Sinatra’s version was a cover … or that any of it occurred in my lifetime as opposed to when my grandmother was young, which is what i would have guessed .

Got it

I’m all of our praise for certain SNL performances we’ve mentioned lately, I don’t think anyone mentioned Phil Hartman’s Sinatra- good stuff

Phil Hartman did some great impersonations on SNL. I'm amazed by how well a lot of the cast was at being able to copy the voices and mannerisms of famous people. Obviously the makeup department helps quite a bit, but it takes talent to bring the celebrity to life, particularly in a comedic way.

You really don’t need to ask us to ridicule you.

Was never into the whole crooner vibe so I don’t have an answer for you.

Now leave me alone, or I will taunt you a second time.

I particularly enjoyed his duet with (Eddie Murphy i think ?) as Stevie Wonder, their version of Ebony & Ivory.. if memory serves, it went something like :



“You are black, and i am white
You are blind as a bat, and I have sight ..”

Stevie - “You are black, and i am white" "I am dark and you are light..."
Frank - "You are blind as a bat, and I have sight ..”

Not Phil Hartman in that one. That was Joe Piscopo.

I watched New York, New York a couple years ago.

You didn't miss anything
