Going for a Song?

Answer 1

I've been pondering your question and I'm not exactly sure what your asking. Can you hum me a bar and I'll give you some words??
Afterthought:
C.C. If this indeed means at a bargain price, answer me this:
What price can you put on a labor of love?

Answer 2

CC, I have waited until the last minutes to pursue your question. I see that others here have answered with a query, a definition or explanation, and while I would love to be able to answer it, in order to do so I would have to ask a question or questions to ascertain its intent and meaning. As we both know it is against YA's protocols to vary from the question / answer format.

Although in learned circles, it is not unusual to begin an answer to a question with a question in order to stimulate thought and discussion this does not fit YA plans as you have fallen victim to.

Being privy to the fact that this is your last and final post on Yahoo Answers I bid thee a fond farewell learned scholar. You will be missed, but you have left a final irony - a question that can't be answered going by the rules! Salute!!

Musician, composer, teacher, friend.

Answer 3

The term means, in context, that something is devalued and can be purchased at a very low price. The term has also been used in, buying something for a "song and a dance"

Answer 4

You know, C.C., as overplayed as it ever was, I'd be going for this song: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Somehow, it is just so uplifting, and serene...
If there were no choice left but to only hear (or play) that piece, I don't think I'd go crazy.
How can Bach (et al) have been so blessed to be so creative?

Answer 5

something for sale cheap or less than its retail value, as in " The property is being sold cheaply for a song and a dance"

Answer 6

Trust CubCur to be ENIGMAtic! 'Going for Song' means something fortuitously found at a bargain price, most often something with quite a high value at a knock-down price.

Answer 7

You ask me if I love you,
And I choke on my reply.
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do.
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you.

And sometimes when we touch,
The honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I want to hold you till I die,
TIll we both break down and cry,
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Do I get the 10 points for my song? I have sung it often. There are 2 more verses if you want them.

Answer 8

Think about visiting Schubert. He's got quite a collection- seems rather enamored with them.

Answer 9

"Where's Emily?"

"Oh she's just gone for a song!"
