I was watching Murder, She Wrote on DVD, a "bookend episode" titled Murder in a Minor Key when I came across a darn cute actor playing the role of Chad Singer, a law student investigating a murder to clear the main suspect, his friend, a music student.
The irony was, I discovered, the actor for Chad was Shaun Cassidy, a singer and musician, and also incidentally, the actor for Joe Hardy in the Hardy Boys TV series.
I also learned that he sang a version of Da Doo Ron Ron, a song which I had been trying to learn the name and lyrics for years.
Darn cute, looks like a much cuter Mark Hamill, his tussled hair, his big eyes and his nose.
Lyrics
I met her on a monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that her name was Jill
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes
my heart stood still
Yes
her name was Jill
And when I walked her home
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
I knew what she was thinking when she caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
She looked so quiet but my oh my
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes
she caught my eye
Yes
my oh my `
And when I walked her home
Da doo ron ron ron cla doo ron ron
Well
I picked her up at seven and she looked so fine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Someday soon I'm gonna make her mine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes
she looked so fine
Yes
I'm gonna make her mine
And when I walked her home
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron

ReplyDeleteZac Efron got nothing on him.
You are right he is cute. I wouldn't put down Zac Efron down that far in comparison though. ^_^
ReplyDeleteAnyway I am so over teenage boys these days. Give me a real man, like what Jolin Tsai says.
