Another one I love, which is also a song plus poem, is "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan. Everything I said about the brilliance of "American Pie" applies to it too, but of course the mood and message are very different.
Do you like either of those? What are your faves?

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Have you ever heard a song by RyanDan called Tears of an Angel? It's one of my favorite contemporary songs. Heartfelt. Beautiful.

was Ogden Nash the " humorous " poet you were trying to think of?..he and Dorothy Parker are my faves of that " genre "...
i would have loved to have been a " fly on the wall" during those Algonquin hotel lunches........i lived a stone's throw from there, but unfortunately it was way before my time...
don't know of the " tears of Angel " song, but i'll check it out............( still trying to solve my youtube probs...)
yes Adele is quite the " Artiste "...kudos to her for not " caving " and starving herself to Anorexic proportions.......
Nathrad, you would know, do you think she could sing opera?...( forgive my " frivolity ", but she certainly has the " heft " ).............for me her voice is so RICH...POWERFUL, and smooth at the same time...
of course what's KEY is whether she can hit those high notes...( pls fergive pun )....didn't even realize it till after............heeehheeee
Carpe Diem!

Adele DOES have a big voice, and I've seen a lot of interviews with opera divas wherein they've admitted that extra weight helps them to carry their song more easily... I'm sure that with the right training she could do it. I could see it happening. It's unfortunate to me, though, that even opera is being affected by Hollywood's advertising, plastering the faces of trim and pretty newcomers on every opera web page to get people to attend shows and hit youtube videos. It's the VOICE that counts, people!!!! Not very many of the trim artists are that good, either... I think Netrebko is a little better since she gained weight, and I liked her before...
I liked your accidental pun, actually. I do think high notes are the most important things, but I think Adele could have the whole package... Hey, if Mariah Carrey can attempt it... I don't think she's too good at it, but it could happen!
