Wacky Dust
THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER Wacky Dust
"Wacky Dust"
They call it wacky dust
It's from a hot cornet
It gives your feet a feeling so breezy
And oh, it's so easy to get
They call it wacky dust
It brings a dancing jag
And once it starts, then only a
Sap'll refuse to Big Apple or Shag
Oh I don't know just why
It gets you so high
Putting a buzz in you heart
You'll do a marathon
You'll wanna go on
Kickin' the ceilin' apart
They call it wacky dust
It's something you can't trust
And in the end the rhythm will stop
When it does, then you'll drop
From happy wacky dust
Oh we don't know just why
It gets you so high
Putting a buzz in you heart
You'll do a marathon
You'll wanna go on
Kickin' the ceilin' apart
They call it wacky dust
It's something you can't trust
And in the end the rhythm will stop
When it does, then you'll drop
From happy wacky dust

"Sam"
I heard that you're on your own now
So am I
I'm living alone now
I was wrong
So were you
What will you do?
Are you glad to be free?
Are you feeling lost just like me?
Longing for company
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
I find the days hard to face now
Empty rooms
There's much too much space now
And the nights go so slow
I'm sure you know
Wish I knew what to do
It would be so nice seeing you
And it might help you too
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Oh Sam, you know where I am
Oh Sam, ooh Sam
You know, you know
You know where I am

Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi has just been announced as one of the celebrity contestants in the Australian version of "Dancing with the Stars". The 33-year-old giddily took to Instagram to announce the news telling followers, “I can’t wait to show you my moves!” In previous posts the avid dancer has posed next to a stripper pole in dance studios writing, “Dancing is my true place. Where all masks are removed and my naked heart is filled with passion and unapologetic sensuality.”
Xanadu was the quintessential 80s flick that was an Olivia Newton-John musical masterpiece.
While working on the film, ONJ met Matt Lattanzi - a dancer and the father of her daughter, Chloe - and when your parents meet on the set of a movie musical, you know you’re destined to shine.
Lattanzi has endured a difficult past. She was treated for alcohol and cocaine addiction in 2013. “I was using most days and nights,” she told Woman’s Day magazine in 2017. “And not only was I doing cocaine, I was drinking vodka heavily also. I had to combine the two.” The singer has also confessed to suffering from depression, anxiety, an eating disorder and has had multiple plastic surgery procedures including breast augmentation and lip fillers. Since 2016 she has lived in Portland, Oregon with partner James Driskill, where the couple operate a medical marijuana business. Lattanzi and her mother gave a tearful interview to Australia’s 60 Minutes in 2017 in which they discussed the “Grease” star’s recent diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer. “Her illness helped me heal my illness,” Lattanzi said. “I knew I needed to be – I wanted to be – bright and happy and available and around for my mum when she’s struggling with this….There’s no more running away anymore from your pain.” Despite the grim diagnosis Newton-John will be part of an eclectic lineup of performers at a fundraising concert next month down under to raise money for bushfire victims. The Fire Fight concert will also star Queen, Alice Cooper and k.d. lang.
