So much for “mostly sunny.” Well, the weather radio didn’t lie…it is sunny behind all those clouds. I’ll enjoy some hot tea after lunch while you enjoy today’s song on the list of my favorite songs nominated for an Academy Award. Hope you enjoy this one. Somewhere Out There - Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram I’m confused. This song lost to “Take My Breath Away” from Top Gun. Maybe I’ve heard that song way too many times to care about it, but I don’t see that being in the same league as this one. Of course, I’m a major Linda Ronstadt fan, so there’s that. And I’ll be honest: I’d rather watch a cartoon mouse than Tom Cruise. Somewhere Out There Written by James Horner, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil Recorded by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram From An American Tail, 1986 Someone’s saying a prayer:

If you and I had been the judges there would have been a different winner.

Amen! Such a great duet. She also did one with Aaron Neville in 1990 which did win an Award for Best Pop performance by a duo.

Linda Ronstadt. Man, back in the day she was a real cutie. What a doll.

Yes she was! There are some women that make even the straight women go “wow.” Julie Newmar in that Catwoman outfit and Diana Rigg in her leather are two more that made me realize at a young age I had NO chance.

@FourWalls It is always funny to me that women readily acknowledge beauty, but a guy will rarely admit..."Yeah, I'd do him if I were a chick."

@porwest — I guess it’s the “macho” thing that makes men like lesbian scenes but freak out over gay men.

I still love Disney cartoons and it is so touching when the two little mice brother and sister sing this song in the movie,

That’s a hard movie for sensitive me to watch. Then again, I cried through half of E.T.

I heard of the movie, but never watched it though. The song is okay, seemed to be overplayed in its heyday. The problem with good songs is when they are overplayed, they become a turn-off for me.

You heard this one too much, and I heard “Take My Breath Away” too much. Moral of this story: they play the same songs too much!!!

Not a fan of Take My Breath Away. A song which does not leave me breathless.
