My mother loved that song. It was recorded in the 1940s as "There's No Tomorrow" and then again in 1960 as "It's Now or Never" by Elvis Presley. Same tune, different words and they both contain the word love. (I guess that's a "two-fer"!)

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there

Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on 'er and turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face

Shake me up that old peach tree

Oh me, oh my

145. Bauhaus was the biggest, most influential Goth band in history. Bela Lugosi's Dead is their most famous song.
Tue Jun 24, 2025, 01:41 PM
22 hrs ago

"Bela Lugosi's Dead" is the debut single by the English post-punk band Bauhaus, released in August 1979 on the Small Wonder label. It is often considered the first gothic rock record.

Bela Lugosi's Dead (Official Version)


Label: Small Wonder Records – TEENY 2
Format: Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo, WEA Pressing
Country: UK
Released: Aug 1979
Genre: Rock
Style: New Wave, Goth Rock









"Bela Lugosi's Dead" was recorded "live in the studio" in a single take during a six-hour session at Beck Studios in Wellingborough on 26 January 1979. It was the first work they recorded together, six weeks after the band had formed. All four band members are credited as writers of the song: vocalist Peter Murphy, guitarist Daniel Ash, drummer Kevin Haskins and bassist David J (as David Haskins). David J has claimed that he wrote the lyrics. Alternate versions of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" also included a portion of the early demo recording of their next single, "Dark Entries".
