The Story
Welcome to Pronouns: The Musical.
Some may ask, “Pronouns?”, but we at A Frank Angle say, “Why not pronouns!”
A subset of nouns, pronouns serve as a substitute for nouns and noun phrases. These bits of linguistics and grammar are versatile and can almost refer to anything.
Although pronouns can be personal, objective, possessive, indefinite, relative, intensive, demonstrative, interrogative, reflexive, and reciprocal, this musical extravaganza focuses on selected pronouns.
Program
Act 1: I
Act 2: You
Act 3: Me
Act 4: He
Act 5: Him
Act 6: She
Though she be but little, she is fierce. (William Shakespeare, author)
A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. (Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady)
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes. (Victor Hugo, author)
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. (Audrey Hepburn, actor)
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars. (Carly Simon, musician)
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays. (Henny Youngman, comedian)
Guidelines
Songs must have She in the title
Cautions
- No duplicates songs regardless of artists
- Foreign language equivalents unacceptable
- Contractions are acceptable at the discretion of The Producer
Production Note
To prevent browsers crashing from loading too many videos, please 1) include the song title and artist in your text, and 2) paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line). The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video … but I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary.
Announcement
Welcome to the latest musical by aFa Productions – Pronouns: The Musical.
First of all, we apologize for the delay due to a production glitch. Many thanks for returning.
Time to transition from the male to the female for the next two acts – so Act 6 is all about She. We had a wide variety of outstanding artists to consider for the opener – but the one song kept coming to the forefront for consideration. After all, dance is involved more ways than one. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s have a great aFa welcome to the incomparable Josh Groban singing So She Dances.
Act 7: Her
Good morning, Frank! So many to choose from for this one.
Here’s James Taylor, “Something in the Way She Moves.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoevtZiVR4k

I just mentioned it to The Producer, he grumbled then ate a handful of glass chips. However, in the past we have allowed other versions as support to the original submission, but that would not count as an official submission by the commenter. In other words, the commenter should supply their own song before supplementing with another version of the same song.

What a beautiful song. I enjoy Celtic music very much, plus this would be a beautiful waltz. A tad slow forces the dance to be controlled, but the music creates a good ballroom feeling … well, at least for me.

Hola aFrank,
WHEW … so many songs. I have a lot of listening to do.
I’m so happy its the weekend. The perfect time for music and stepping on the living room floor for a little jitterbug. Have a listen to She’s So Fine – Jackie Wilson https://youtu.be/r4nPBNL3D0E
I’m hoping the contraction is ok. But, to be sure, I’ll add a back-up song: She Is Gone ~ Willie Nelson https://youtu.be/0I1VcyKlD3c/ I checked everyones song but I may have missed it these were added.
Thank you for hosting this fun challenge. It’s always a pleasure to see the variety of songs everyone listens to. Get those dancing shoes out, a glass of wine and jitterbug your Friday.
Toodles,
Isadora 😎
