I'm curious to learn what song they'll sing this year. The last two years it had something to do with "friends", so it's probably going to be another one. Maybe "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story, "You've got a Friend" by James Taylor, "Friends are Friends Forever" by Micheal W. Smith, "Best Friend" by Brandy, "That's what Friends are For" by Dionne Warwick and Elton John, or maybe "Lean on Me" by, uh, a whole lot of different people. Or perhaps one of the many other "friend" songs, but I think these are the most popular. I'm sure whatever song it will be though, it will be cute.

I hope some of the humans are on the float this year, that would be so awesome.

If I had to pick just one...

Looking forward to it either way.

You know, that song was by Carole King originally, though Taylor's version may be the more famous of the two. Forgive me for being so anal about it, it's just that Carole King is one of my favourite female vocalists, so I do like to see her receive a bit of recognition.

"Lean on Me" was originally a hit for Bill Withers in 1972, but it has been covered multiple times since.


EDIT: How about "Friends" by Shalamar? That's another good one.

As much as I would like to hear Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me", one has to remember that it is a Disney song and the chances of it being used for a Time Warner property are very slim indeed.

Now if I could play music director for a moment, how about something from the band WAR?

They could start with "Why Can't We Be Friends?"

And then follow that up with "Low Rider".

Haha! I love that song. Good call, t, I don't know why it didn't occur to me.

Hmm, now I'm craving some Marmite for some reason...


One song which I would rather that they didn't go with (although it does seem kind of appropirate) would be "I'll Be There For You" by the Rembrandts. Hey, it's a perfectly decent song - I did like it the first two or three times I heard it - just not one which I feel really benefitted from the vast amount of over-exposure it received through being the theme song to Friends for all those years. By the time the 90s were folding, I did feel like I'd been somewhat over-dosed on it. And there were still about four or five seasons of Friends left to go.

Well, whatever they choose, hopefully it won't be another Cheese solo. I did find it a bit far-fetched, last year, the concept of him possessing the attention span to get through that Queen song in its entirety. I think that a collaborative effort from all the cast members would be a much nicer idea.

I think in a couple older posts, I suggested that they could sing "Thank You For Being a Friend" by Andrew Gold (a/k/a the theme from The Golden Girls) or even Bette Midler's "Friends"...

It wasn't humor, I remember hearing that Rick Astley would be on the Foster's float. I guess it was wrong.

Being that this will more than likely be the last time we'll see the float in the parade, as the show is coming to an end, shed no tears for it, thank you very much. I'm sure Cassini will have a video up on YouTube (or ViewTube) tomorrow or Friday...

Well, seeing as I have posted a vid of the float every year so far, I will also have one. I just don't know when exactly I can do it, its hard for me as I am responsible for the cooking and entertaining around here.
