"The Mom and Pop Store" question

What song was George singing in "The Mom and Pop Store?" I think actually he sang on two separate occasions in that episode. What was each of them? One of them was in Jerry's apartment, and he ended it with "Driving around in John Voight's car..." :-) (I spelled it "John" on purpose, BTW).

Please E-mail me at [email] in case I don't see your post here.

One and maybe the only song George was humming and singing and changing the words to in The Mom & Pop Store episode was Everybody's Talking made popular on the radio by Harry Neilsen in 1969. The song was featured in Jon Voight's Midnight Cowboy which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1969. It's very possible that the song- Everybody's Talking was also NOMINATED for an Oscar .

That was "Everybody's Talkin'" written by Fred Neil and performed by Harry Nillson on the soundtrack of "Midnight Cowboy", which starred Jon Voight, which is why George was singing it.

Lyrics:

Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes

Chorus I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Repeat Chorus

Just like Elaine when she could not hear Tim ask her out for New Years.

Didjall' get that?

Sure did.

And I think Marlee Matlin's character, Laura, sang that tune in "The Lip Reader".

Ouch. ;)
