I'm Gonna Marry Diana

© Bill Burnett

Please click here for LYRICS

This is a tune I wrote for the marriage of my friend Doug Day and his lovely bride Diana.  It's been one of my major crowd pleasers ever since and I'm proud of it as a catchy tune and also a clever lyric.  I think it emulates some of the word play of the great Roger Miller--a crafty and inspired hipster singer-songwriter who made very smart music, nestled safely into the country genre. Lines like Trying to mock the way they talk, fun but all in vain/Gapin' at the dapper men in derby hats and canes rival Sondheim's Phone'll jingle door'll knock from West Side Story.  And I like to think that my I went and bought a ring/Now my heart is fluttering is in that same tradition.  In the future I'll do a SongTalk piece on Roger Miller and make the case that he is one of our greatest singer songwriters.  For now I just urge you to check him out on your own. 

By the way, that's the great Suzy Williams singing with me in the background.
