Ah yes....The Shulamite maiden
so lovely and fair...
I've heard some very familiar melodies come out of Micheal Jackson's mouth, too.
Did you know:
That ole stick in the mud Knorr was hesitant to have brass instruments playing the melodies on those 1966 songs until one arranger/trombonist showed him how mellow the songs would sound?
...and now you know.
I can't remember any of the songs, not even one melody. Of course I can't remember much else either. It all seems sort of like another life I lived in another world. Sometimes something reminds me of my past life and I get meloncholy, but I get over it pretty quick.

I've been out for 20 years and have forgotten most of them. They had just gotten the "baby shit brown" song book around the time that I left. It had a number of new songs, which fortunately I didn't have to listen to. However, I do remember one song that sounded like it was ripped off from the Loony Tunes cartoon theme music. Do they still play it at the KH?
Oh great, now they are all coming back...THANKS A LOT!

Go ahead. IF YOU DARE...
It's okay, it's okay. Just sing a Christmas song and it'll all be okay....

Funny story about kingdom melodies, tho.
When I was about 19, one of my best friends, D, was dating my cousin, T. One sun-shiny Saturday morning, I called up D to ask if he wanted to shoot some hoops, and he said, "Naw....I think I'm going to propose to T today." He said he planned to propose at an upscale restaurant, a really nice bistro with a grand piano right in the middle. I happened to know the guy that played the piano there, because I had done a project with him at school the previous quarter. Suddenly, I thought it would be really cool to have him play a Kingdom Melody while they were there. Just kind of mix it in, make T wonder a little bit.
D thought it was a great idea. What song would it be? "We're Jehovah's Witnesses," he responded. "That song means a lot to T." It seemed an odd choice to me, but sure, I thought, and told him I would arrange it. Five minutes later, I was rolling on the ground laughing with my friend, thinking how funny it would be to hear "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" playing at a bistro all the sudden. "D is under a lot of stress - clearly he's not thinking straight," my friend said. We picked "Loyal Love" as the much more appropriate song to play for the occasion.
Everything worked out. I got my friend the song book, D slipped him a 20 for playing the piece, T accepted the proposal, and they lived happily ever after. Just be happy that "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" wasn't a part of the scene.
