Also Karens solo song Making Love In The Afternoon mentions the Beatles Making love in the afternoon Making love to another Beatles tune...

What about "Mr. Guder". I believe the song was written about a guy who fired Richard at while working at Disney.

"De Shannon is back" from "Boat To Sail". The following synopsis was written by Rick Henry and Cameron Longo: BOAT TO SAIL (Jackie De Shannon) This is another standout track on the album. This is the epitome of the laid back easy going Southern California sound. You can almost feel the gentle waves of the ocean as you listen to this song. "Boat to Sail" is easily one of Richard's most outstanding and creative musical arrangements. The song includes layers of sound including the electric vibes which gives the song the sound of echoing chimes. Tony Peluso's guitar also adds to the overall ambiance of the song. The song's most prominent feature is the multi-layered re-verb effect on the vocals giving the song an out of this world sound. Written by Jackie De Shannon who is best known for her hits "What The World Needs Now Is Love" and "Put A Little Love In Your Heart". De Shannon is also the co-writer of Kim Carnes' 1981 super-hit "Bette Davis Eyes". Toward the end of the song as it fades away Karen sings, “De Shannon is back” which mirrors another A&M act, the Captain and Tennille, with their chart topper "Love Will Keep Us Together" where they end with, “Sedaka is back.” |

Quite a number of Carpenter Christmas songs mention Jesus, and Mary (Maria) is also mentioned.

Actually Rick, you're right. I really don't think Mr. Guder can be considered a famous person. I forgot about that part of the thread. In our (Carpenters fans) eyes yes, but not according to the rules of this one.  |
