This is your first of several reminders to start thinking about your halloween costume. The best Halloween Party Brooklyn has ever seen is only 29 days away! YAY!

On that note, I was having a conversation about Halloween this afternoon and Pedro mentioned the idea of dressing as Popeye, and sent me a link to the video below from the movie starring Shelly Duval and Robin Williams, where Olive is singing about Popeye.

Maybe I saw this movie years ago and didn't remember that this song was in it, but what immediately came to mind was the movie Punch Drunk Love, in which this song also appears. Strangely ironic for several of my own personal reasons, but click on the picture and watch it because it is a great song



He Needs Me
Lyrics from the Popeye soundtrack album.

And all at once I knew
I knew at once
I knew he needed me

Until the day I die
I won't know why
I knew he needed me

It could be fantasy, o-oh
Or maybe it's because

He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me

Dah de da da da da da da da da da
Dah de da da da da da da da da dah

It's like a dime a dance
I'll take a chance
I will because he needs me

Noone ever asked before
Before because they never needed me

[Popeye]But I do

But he does!

Maybe it's because he's so alone
Maybe it's because he's never had a home

He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me

For once, for once in life
I've finally felt
That someone needed me

And if it turns out real
Then love can turn the wheel

Because

He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me
He needs me he needs me


Do you remember singing this?
