Tunes that put me in a good mood :)

Post by moxy »

Yeah, I don't mean irish tunes necessarily :)

I'm listening to Paul Simon's "Call me Al" and can't stop grooving!

Yesterday, it was Harry Belafonte's "Mama Look a Booboo"... And David Byrne - anything by David Byrne, practically!!

:D

What's doing it for you today?

The Lyrics To "Get A Bloomin' Move On"
To make the film even more English, large sections of the lyrics to "Get a Bloomin' Move On" are in Cockney rhyming slang.

We are the self-preservation society, the self preservation society

We are the self-preservation society, the self preservation society

Put on your almond rocks and daisy roots

Brush your Hampstead Heath, wear your whistle-and-flute

Lots of lah-de-dahs and Cockneys here

Look alive and get out of here

Get your skates on mate, get your skates on mate

No bib around your Gregory Peck today, hey!

Drop your plates of meat right on the seat

This is the self-preservation society, the self-preservation society (etc)

This is the self-preservation society, the self-preservation society (etc)

Cockney Translation!
Almond rocks
Daisy roots
Hampstead Heath
Whistle-and-flute
Lah-de-dahs
Gregory Peck
Plates of meat
Socks
Boots
Teeth
Suit
Posh people!
Neck
Feet

Kinston Trio- MTA song is about Charlie on the MTA.

"Did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned..."

BS&T- ...they'll be one child born, to carry on..."

Agree. :)

USA," "Revolution" (Most Beatles, actually), "If It Makes You
Happy," "Hard To Make A Stand" (Sheryl Crow)

Also, for me, most of Creedence's stuff (Yeah, I know . . . Most of you
have something different to say about that. Well, I say . . . :P :wink: )
