Charleston, charleston

Some dance, some prance
I'll say better than finer
Than the charleston, charleston
Boy, how you can shuffle
Every step you do
Leads to something new
Man, I'm telling you
It's a lopazoo

Will be a back number
But the charleston
The new charleston
That dance is surely a comer
Sometime
You'll dance it one time
That dance called the charleston
Made in South Caroline

Puttin' on the Ritz. Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper, Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)! Come let's mix where Rockefellers
walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas in their mitts, Puttin' on the Ritz! Have you seen the well-to-do Up and down Park AvenueOn that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air High hats, and arrow collarsWhite spats, and lots of dollarsSpending every dimeFor a wonderful time. :I (tap dance break)
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)! If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits, Puttin' on the Ritz, Puttin' on the Ritz, Puttin' on the Ritz, Puttin' on the Ritz, Gotta dance, Gotta dance... If you're blue and you don't knowwhere to go to why don't you go where fashion sits

JAZZ SIGNS OF THE TIME, IN 1929? MOOD INDIGO 2008?
You have not been blue; no, no, no. You have not been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's
bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

Liebesgedichte und Studentenlieder
Johann Sebastian Bach Johannes Brahms and many other composers have recieved a great wealth of melodies and inspirations from the student songs. As a composer, I too have benifited from these songs. Thus I embarked on creating a new Kommersbuch arrangement of these songs, taking them to the next level of artsong. These recordings will be available on the upcoming English version CD "Zane Zirkle: German University Student Songs." and the German version of the CD: "Die Deutsche Üniveristät Studentenlieder" There will also be sheet music available in a bi-lingal English-German score as well as a Karoke CD. Here is the upcoming song list of the music CD:
I. Freut euch des Lebens, Enjoy your Life. von/ by Hans Georg Nägeli, 1773-1836. The Composer of Music / Musik Komponist: Martin Usteri: 1763-1815

I've seen places, faces and smiled for a moment
But oh, you haunted me so
Still my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
I case you say no
To russia I flew but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I fly to you, from russia with love
