When I woke up this morning June Garber was singing (on my clock radio) "I'm gonna live live live until I die." Well, what else can one do but live until they die? I suppose if a person is famous, or at least has friends and family that will remember them after they're gone, that's a sort of life after death.
But not necessarily.
I've posted in the past about world famous people who have died, and too many of you have replied that you've never heard of them.
And if you're wondering, the song was written by Mann Curtis, Walter Kent and Al Hoffman (who?) and was first released by Frankie Laine in 1950. It was covered by Ann Hampton Callaway, Jesse Luttrell, Sarah Vaughan, Queen Latifah, and that skinny kid from Hoboken, among others.

Read them closely Anna. They are an affirmation of life, keep going, stay strong, live!

@JamesHxstatic - Pretty words that are perfect for those who are healthy, have money, enjoy life. Unfortunately for more than 50% of human populations those are only empty words. Most of them live waiting to die.

@LadyDuck Surprised to hear you be so negative. You are usually more upbeat.

There are a lot of songs that have particularly stupid lyrics. I guess sometimes it just comes down to filling something in between the melody—does it all have to make sense to be good? Probably not. But it can offer up a laugh sometimes.
Hilliary Duff—"If the light is off, then it isn't on." (Yesterday)
Frank Ocean—"Many college students have gone to college." (Be Yourself)
Taylor Swift—"Green was the color of the grass." (Invisible String)
Kanye West—"You left your fridge open, somebody just took a sandwich." (Wolves)
Found these on the Internet. But there are myriad examples to choose from. lol

Yeah, really stupid lyrics. You got it right, all we do is live til we die.
Wooda been better if they'd have wrote it like live it up til I die, now that would make a little more sense but living it up is in the eye of the beholder, to me living it up is being able to stay home or visit as I please.

I prefer staying home, too. That's where all my stuff is.

I like the lyrics and see them as an affirmation of "keeping on," not letting age get the best of you.
"Before my number's up I;m gonna fill my cup, I'm gonna live 'til I die" Talk about a positive attitude!

@BarBaraPrz Yes, clever lyrics, not stupid at all. That's why it has lasted all these years.

Some songs do have very silly lyrics this one included and it's the silly lyrics that get stuck in our heads
