Monday Mrs51 and I will have been hitched 46 years. I put together a little video I will post to her Facebook page Monday morning. What I really want to know is which version should I post, the one with backup vocals or the one with just me? LOL I'd probably have a better chance of getting laid if I posted Kris Kristoffersons version of the song.



PS: I did a final edit and here is the version I posted on her Facebook page. It will be there when she gets up in the morning.

I didnt listen to the 2nd one. Go with the one you sang. You are now my favorite poster 51. You are a romantic and I identify with that.
You had three boys. My dad had three, his 2nd wife had three and my brother had three. You sing pretty good for an old guy.
I graduated in 73 but some of my classmates go married that year. I waited till 78. .
I was married to #1 for 25 yrs and on the 31st will have been married to #2 for 16 I guess I am tied with you for years married.
Nice montage of a great marriage it appears........happy anniversary.

Great job 51!
I heard vocals on both.

Hey, one thing you have working in your favor:

Kristofferson couldn’t sing worth a damn so - there ain’t much of a drop off.

Mrs. 51 will love it. :thumbup:

Dude I don't know about your chances of getting lucky. You'd probably have better luck playing the Lotto, especially after seeing that mug and hearing you moan.

Fantastic vid. I'm with Coach. Didn't even listen to the 2nd one. I don't see how you can improve on the 1st.

First question is, “do you have that pair-of-claw-foot-bathtubs-set-up in your back yard?”

For starters a sure fire way to get laid is to pay close attention and even write down all the advice you receive here. Then don't do any of that $hit. Secondly grow that mean ass mustache back and your golden.

In all seriousness cool video, few guys can pull these kinda things off without looking really corny, you nailed it.

Hi with backup. Melodically it’s better.

An amazing video. Thanks for sharing. I even showed my wife.

Yeah I think that is the one I will use. I tweaked it a little this morning. In the copy I put on youtube there were a couple of places where my voice was like 1/10 of a second ahead of the backup singers on the karaoke version. I cut out that tenth of a second and added it back in after the line that was out of sync, sounds a little better.

I would say those 5 years count.

Great video. I can't decide which was cooler from the young version of you: The porn star mustache or those awesome mutton chops.

Hey it was the 70's I was torn between the Joe Namath look and the John Trovolta Saturday Night Feaver look. I did look sharp in bell bottoms if I say so myself.

Late to the party...but that was awesome. I’m certain she loved it.

I had one for 6 and #2 now at 28 years.

Well done.

If that doesn't do the trick for you, the only thing I could suggest would be grow the "pork chops" again. That had to be what attracted Ms. 51 in the first place.
