Here are some more lyrics to help you out

If nothing in life is turning you on
And every one of your friends
All seem to be gone
Just start yourself a hummin
Remember that the good times are coming
Life is a celebration
Don't waste your invitation
Hang those tears on the line.

found a lyric page
but that doesn't help yet
having to checkout every song individually -- takes time.

I'd have to cheat again

and look on the internet

I remember calendar girl -- that's late 50's
and i remember handy man
if it's neither of those then i'll have to cheat.

Don't know the writer Westwend

I don't think the performer wrote his own songs though so it must have been someone else. When you said Neil Diamond, you got half the perfomers name right.

It is a male singer

I think this fellow was a bit later than the ones you mentioned

posted by jollyjeff on December 15, 2004 at 2:43 PM | link to this | reply

let's try . . . .

Dion . . . no that's not it.

Bobby Rydell

Frankie Avalon

the Canadian who wrote and sang Diana -- ummm . . . .

my gosh -- are on the right track with male singers?

Nope Not Donnie Osmond

Not sure if this singer ever was a teen idol, but if he was it would have been when he first became popular in the 60s. Would have been too old by '75 when this song came out.

I thought that David Cassidy performed in a stage production of

Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, or something, in recent years....not that that is the answer to your question, but I think he has done a musical!

Not from a musical I don't think

As far as I know David Cassidy never did a cover of it.

posted by jollyjeff on December 14, 2004 at 3:29 PM | link to this | reply

i really think it was from

a musical of some sort

David just did a cover

posted by Xeno-x on December 14, 2004 at 3:01 PM | link to this | reply

no! no! no!

hold on -- I think it's from HAIR

of course david had some -- girls liked it.

don't know why -- wait a minute -- about the same time the cowsills did -- let's see ---

they did the title song from HAIR

5th Dimension did let the sun shine in

some guy with black durly hair did -- one

then there was good morning starshine

circa 1970

cowsills were a neat group -- a family -- all ages

don't get me started
