Here's an amusing novelty song which may be a balm to the spirit for anyone currently experiencing relationship troubles :-)

This song, the Ballad of the Shape of Things, is from a musical called the Littlest Revue. The Kingston Trio also recorded it, but I prefer this version. I think it's a lot funnier. The artist is American character actress and comedienne Charlotte Rae, who is best known for playing Edna Garret in the famous sitcoms Different Strokes and the Facts of Life. I had a feeling some of you might get a kick out of it. I certainly did the first time I heard it, which was when I was a teenager, and I thought it was just as funny the other day when my dear friend @ladyofthe_lake brought it to my attention again. #CharlotteRae #comedy #music #musicals #novelty #songs
