Happy Valentine’s Day, Neil. Look! No one is loser today.

By MA on 02.14.06 3:47 am

A song…? For… for me? Aw…

Have a great day, Neil.

By anne on 02.14.06 4:26 am

karaoke in the blogosphere - may catch on as a new trend

By matahari3 on 02.14.06 4:33 am

Thanks for the V-Day message. It brightened my morning.

By Michele on 02.14.06 4:45 am

I love it How many other men serenaded their blogger friends?? Thanks, Neil!

By Leesa on 02.14.06 5:44 am

“A day without kisses is like a night without stars.”

Happy Valentine’s Day, Neil.

By Pearl on 02.14.06 6:01 am

Let me return the favor:

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you its only seed

[ducks to avoid beer bottles]

By jenny on 02.14.06 6:06 am

That was beautiful.

By Margo on 02.14.06 6:18 am

My Funny Valentine is actually my favorite Valentine’s song (especially when sung by Elvis Costello), but this one was rather cool too. Thanks, Neil. Happy Valentine’s Day to you.

By Elisabeth on 02.14.06 6:24 am

Love being serenaded! Thanks for a lovely Valentine’s Day Neil!

By sara lee on 02.14.06 6:36 am

You freak.

By anne arkham on 02.14.06 6:45 am

That’s it, Neil…I’m dumping my husband and 2 kids…I’m yours.

By cruisin-mom on 02.14.06 6:56 am

Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well!

By Kevin on 02.14.06 7:08 am

happy valentine’s day! i will think of you as i treat myself to a heart-shaped box of assorted chocolates from duane reade.

By amanda on 02.14.06 7:09 am

Happy Valentine’s Day, darling. XOXO

By Trix on 02.14.06 7:21 am

wow, you actually helped quell my cynicism.

thanks!

By i ended up here... how? on 02.14.06 7:43 am

having anyone sing to you is sweet, even if it is out of tune.

By ms. sizzle on 02.14.06 8:21 am

Awww thanks Neil! Smooches!

My bf and I listened to your song and had completely different responses

Have a good one!

By LisaBinDaCity on 02.14.06 8:31 am

Awesome. I’m going to have the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day, aren’t I?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

By Michelle on 02.14.06 8:43 am

your talent is wasted!!! brilliant.

By Anne-Marie on 02.14.06 8:54 am

That’s pretty cool. I don’t think Simon or Randy would send you to Hollywood, but you probably have a shot with Paula.

By Used Hack on 02.14.06 9:05 am

Your VD Blogger Serenade had me smiling Neil! Bravo!

Hope you have a Happy VD.

:-)3T

By 3rdtimesacharm( 3T ) on 02.14.06 9:08 am

Right back at ya, dear Neil.

By annie on 02.14.06 9:13 am

Nice rendition! Did you know all the words or have to look it up? I ask because when I mentioned it to the hub, he broke into song. Is it is Jewish guy thing to know all the words to Captain & Tenille songs? I’ll have to ponder this a while.
Happy Day!

By Wendy on 02.14.06 9:28 am

What’s next? - “I’m too sexy for my shirt”?

By Tuck on 02.14.06 9:37 am

Well, that was very nice, if a bit odd. I had the huge Toni Tennille smile pictured the whole time I listened and that was a bit frightening. But it was appreciated nonetheless! Happy Valentine’s Day!

By Bill on 02.14.06 9:37 am

Wendy –

Neil Sedaka, baby! He wrote it.

By the way, maybe this is how those American Idol contestants delude themselves. I thought I sounded pretty good. Romantic and sexy. But Sophia said, “You sound like a mobster forcing the studio to cut a single.”

By Neil on 02.14.06 9:42 am

Sugar, that was better than flowers.

By Mel on 02.14.06 10:03 am

Neil Sedaka, huh? Didn’t he sing “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do?”
But that’s not a great Valentine’s song, I suppose.

By Wendy on 02.14.06 10:13 am

Ahh, sookie sookie. Good stuff, Neil! Happy Vday!

By Jacynth on 02.14.06 10:15 am

You are an interesting critter, Neil. Definitely intriguing. Happy Valentine’s Day.

By Paula on 02.14.06 10:33 am

‘Sophia said, “You sound like a mobster forcing the studio to cut a single.”’

She’s dead-on, but it’s still sweet. Thanks so much for the message, and happy Valentine’s day, Neil!

By claire on 02.14.06 10:33 am

Happy Valentine’s Day, Neil! You’ll be pleased to hear that I’m actually going out for drinks with a few friends — to a place where men who drink shitty beer and eat meat hang out. Sound unappealing to anyone? Well, it’s not — because they’re going to be straight!

(cut to music playing, sky opening with light and doves flying by…)

By Sandra on 02.14.06 11:53 am

Delightful, but I thought we were all going to be Valentine’s Loser. May I recommend ”The Love is Gone” from Muppets Christmas Carol for next year …

By cherchezlafemme on 02.14.06 12:12 pm

That one line in there about how “one day your looks will be gone” still really pisses me off. Why is that even in there? It’s supposed to be a love song, and then he goes and reminds her that saggy boobs and grey hairs are just around the corner. Oy!

By Nance on 02.14.06 12:16 pm

Do you do requests???

MUSKRAT LOVE!!! If I’m not mistaken, it is a Captain/Tennille song as well. And feel free to substitute whatever varmit you want for muskrat…badger, weasel, ermine, etc…It’s the thought that counts, right??
;P

By Laura on 02.14.06 12:50 pm

Laura — I was more thinking of their other hit, “Do It To Me One More Time.”

Nance — I think the song makes more sense when it is a woman singing it to a man — but not by much. But it is a catchy tune.

By Neil on 02.14.06 1:16 pm

“Young and beautiful, one day your looks will be gone”

HEY! You are not the boss of me!

By DawnKelly on 02.14.06 2:32 pm

Love Will Keep Us Together? So the Your Song mention was just a horrible lie?!:)

By Janet on 02.14.06 3:09 pm

Neil, you’re great!

By Jill on 02.14.06 3:30 pm

Happy VD Day to you.

By Eric W. on 02.14.06 3:38 pm

I like a sweet serenade… Happy Vday to you!

By ChickyBabe on 02.14.06 4:00 pm

Janet — I said “Your Song” is the best love song. But do you really want to hear me sing that?

Dawn — if I ever meet Neil Sedaka, I’ll ask him what the hell he was thinking with those lyrics. I’m just the singer. Don’t blame me.

Eric — VD day? That doesn’t sound very romantic.

By Neil on 02.14.06 4:03 pm

I’m having a glorious D-Day, that’s Dick, as in Cheney. VP’s should shoot someone before every Valentine’s Day.

By Won't tell on 02.14.06 5:48 pm

You are one brave and crazy motherf–ker.

By mernitman on 02.14.06 5:50 pm

very sweet, hope you enjoy your love day.

By better safe than sorry on 02.14.06 6:14 pm

Wickedly brave, you are.

By Student Nurse on 02.14.06 6:59 pm

sing away, neil, sing away!

By bella on 02.14.06 8:35 pm

That. Was. AWESOME! Just think if you had some muzak in the background; I see internet stardom…

By darlin nikki on 02.15.06 2:02 am

This was the hit of my Valentine’s Day house, I played it for all of my visiting relatives from Chicago. But no fair, last time we got a clip of Sophia singing too.

Shall I now out myself and say that I used to have a thing for Toni Tennille? I’m sure she’d love your reinterpretation of her Grammy Award-winning (oy!) song.

Loved my Valentine from Sophia. How about posting her rendition of “Delta Dawn?”

By Danny on 02.15.06 6:40 am

HA HA HA HA HA HA !

By Peggy Nature on 02.15.06 1:13 pm

Hey Neil, that was so CUTE! I think original things like that are the BEST on days like Valentines, which have become so commericial. Pardon the pun, but I think you got right to the heart of it!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
