Boyhood crushes

#1: The Tramp

Lady and the Tramp is one of the greatest romantic movies of all time. I loved the cute and skinny, clever street-wise, dangerous and independent Tramp. And the pampered simpy Lady was enough to turn me off to girls for good. Jealous, I hated her.

She was obviously cootie-ridden, and my Tramp still fell for her!

Peggy Lee played the part of Peg, who had some history with him. Here's her song in French, the only I could find - just follow the bouncing ball:

(About one and half mimutes.)

He's a tramp
But I love him
Breaks a new heart
Ev'ry day

He's a tramp
They adore him
And I only hope
He'll stay that way

He's a tramp
He's a scoundrel
He's a rounder
He's a cad

He's a tramp
But I love him
Yes, and even I
Have got it pretty bad

You can never tell
When he'll show up
He gives you
Plenty of trouble

I guess he's just a
No 'count pup
But I wish that he
Were double

He's a tramp
He's a rover
And there's nothing
More to say

If he's a tramp
He's a good one
And I wish that I
Could travel his way

Yeah, it's a cartoon. About dogs. But I was like five seven years old. So Tramp worked fine as my first crush.

The story ends with Tramp being completely pussy-whipped into civilized society. What a letdown.

He's a tramp, but I love him. Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad.

An amateur music video with the band Lighthouse. About three minutes. Sweet.
