When I was just a little girlI asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

I love Doris Day.
I'm with you, Trooper (and I'm not even a lesbian...he he)!
She was so beautiful. She glowed. Such style, too.
And that song gives me goosebumps. I think of the movie she sang it in.
I recall this being one of those songs that Reader remembers somewhat fondly.
Doris Day has been put down forever because she incarnates '50s normality, which, of course, MUST be destroyed. The fact of the matter is that some of the greatest shtoops in the world are and were those suburban matrons that she personified.
You got that right. Shtoopablity is our foremost consideration irrespective of size, shape, age, race, economic status or number of limbs.
"schtoopability" is the perfectly descriptive word. And Trooper just invented this word right here in front of all of us.
Alright...but what about kissing, cuddling and all of that?
Shtoopability takes all of the romance out of it! And Doris Day was romance!
/end of romantic talk
The tragic side of Doris Day was that she gave birth to Terry Melcher, who produced some great California bands in the '60s. Melcher crossed paths with Charles Manson through Dennis Wilson. The Manson family thought they were out to get him the night Sharon Tate was killed.
Did they show those kinds of scenes back in the day? I mean that's major weedwacking material in the 1960s.
As you are fond of saying, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I'm with you, Trooper (and I'm not even a lesbian...he he)!
Well that's encouraging for most of the guys here but I'm sure Titus is probably incosolable right about now.
I love Doris Day. Someone told me she could sing but I don't believe it - no one could be that talented.
LOL, Hoosier Daddy. I really didn't know how to break it to him!
:)
Just wanted to point out that Doris Day is still alive (86 years old!) though I believe one of those actresses who retired to keep that "golden-age" image alive.
I heard that back in the day she was banging Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. I don't know if it was true but it would be really cool if it was.
Not so much a Doris Day fan; more inclined to favor Dinah Shore because of her lovely Southern accent. Plus, I always liked Chevrolets.
There was a time when Titus, were he alive back then, wold have been a welcome house guest while Mrs. Hudson was out running errands and such.
My sisters loved "Pillow Talk", even though they were hippies. They did not mock her. Gads they loved that movie.
I always thought her rendition of Que Sera inthe Hitchcock movie was funny and frightening.
