Hello. Someone talked me into doing this again. So here it goes:
Woody Allen’s dreamy Midnight In Paris inspired me to look up vintage radio stations to start my work week. I am well aware that roaming the streets of Paris and hanging out with Getrude Stein beats a monday morning in an Amsterdam office in every way imaginable, but you take what you can get: Itunes, Radio Dismuke and The 1920′s Network for instance.
When “When You Wish Upon A Star” came by, I probably looked very much like this and that’s a face I wish upon everyone. The song’s got nothing to do with the roaring twenties or Paris (unless… Euro Disney…. no, let’s not even go there), but Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket are pretty dreamy regardless and 1940 is a damn long time ago as well.
“When You Wish Upon A Star” was written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington and originally sung by Cliff Edwards, looking like Jiminy Cricket.
