Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?

Wondering what has become of her? She is in fact still alive; she just turned 100 yesterday, and has an album coming out next month.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

Well, no, not really. As a Yank, I was unaware she existed outside the aforementioned Pink Floyd lyrics.

From Robyn Hitchcock: “The Yip Song” (excerpt)

This old man, he was flesh - they wheeled him in upon a trolley
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Draw a window on his skin now
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin
Vera Lynn nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin

[SenorSchaffer]

Fun Fact: “The Little Boy that Santa Forgot” sung by Vera plays in the opening scene of The Wall.

Vera Lynn’s older brother Roger, 103, was on hand to help his younger sister celebrate the big 1-0-0.
