The last thing my friend Joanne posted on her facebook timeline showed a little video of a cute animated baby penguin singing a portion (see section of song below highlighted) of Randy Newman’s song, you got a friend in me,
Note the following information on band members for the original version:
- Randy Newman (born November 28, 1943) lead vocals, piano, orchestral arrangements
- Randy Kerber – (born September 25, 1958) keyboards
- Weldon Dean Parks (born December 6, 1946) guitar
- Jim Keltner (born April 27, 1942) drums
Note from the songs wiki page:
a version by Robert Goulet
Note from Goulet’s wiki page:
- Robert Gérard Goulet (November 26, 1933 – October 30, 2007)
TODAY is Robert’s birthday!!
Also Randy Newman’s birthday expands the cluster from my previous post into a “July 23, July 24, __, … 28/Date Sequence” pattern cluster,… a prompt to locate the intended person(s) to bridge the July 25 gap.
Perhaps it’s this notable person who passed away yesterday:
Earl Holliman, 96, American actor (Police Woman, The Rainmaker, The Twilight Zone).
- Henry Earl Holliman (September 11, 1928 – November 25, 2024)
Do note the “ear” in Earl… and his birthday—9/11!!
Here’s the lyrics to You Got a Friend in Me:
You've got a friend in meYou've got a friend in meWhen the road looks rough aheadAnd you're miles and miles from your nice warm bedJust remember what your old pal saidBoy, you've got a friend in meYeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in meYou've got a friend in meYou've got troubles, I've got 'em tooThere isn't anything I wouldn't do for youWe stick together, we can see it through'Cause you've got a friend in meYeah, you've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I amBigger and stronger too, maybeBut none of them will ever love you the way I doIt's me and you, boy
And as the years go byOur friendship will never dieYou're gonna see, it's our destiny
You've got a friend in meYou've got a friend in meYou've got a friend in me
