What song are you listening to right now?

[Oscar]

Oh they're quite OK with going to sleep with anything from easy listening to Punk. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is just their constant request. Other "lullabies" include "Patrick McGinty's Goat" and "Delaney's Donkey" - neither of which are slow and "soothing" and we often have some species of "rock" playing at night.

"Paddy McGinty's Goat"?????!!!!
My Grandma used to sing me that!

I know, I taught it to her...

[RiderInBlack]

He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?

It's supposed to be "He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally red" is it not Hitcher?

Doesn't rhyme with city, but.

Dam it, you're right (again). See http://freelyrics.virtuale.org/Eagle...-fast-lane.htm . Should have known that you would have got that right Funny how you can listen to music for years thinking you know the lyrics and then you read the lyric sheet The one that really got me was "Dirty deeds and they'er done dirt cheap". For years I thought it was "Dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief"

Isn't it "Dirty deeds and they're done with Sheep" - or is that a different song?


(PT, I know they're different songs)

[ManDownUnder]

Elton John - Nikita (an all time fav of mine)
Joshua Kadison - Walking in Memphis
Eagles - Please come home for Christmas
Moving Pictures - What about me (another all time fav)

Turns out I'm actually a romantic that enjoys blues and likes to fight for the underdog...

LOL - I'm in Oz at the mo and there were the usual range of sheep jokes flying after a Texan I'm travelling with told everyone about the lamb bangers and mash he had the other night.

There was fierce debate about where the lamb bangers would have come from... and what their names were...

I may save that one for a future signature. In case nobody has noticed, I have a particular fascination with misheard lyrics. Pat Benatar should never have hit me with her pet shark...

In the "...done with sheep" case, it's a parody by Weird Al Yankovic.

Appropriate for this forum would be:

You're the one that I want [get on your motorbike] Woo hoo hoo - Grease Soundtrack

And not so appropriate but bloody funny:

Save the whales, save the whales, save the whales - "Orinoco Flow" by Enya

Both of the above courtesy of my niece, Karen, whom I suspect has never actually listened to a song in her entire life...

BTW: I wasn't quite quick enough to respond to one of your previous sigs "I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone - Johnny Nash"

I was going to quote it and respond with "I guess Lorraine's down in Africa - Toto" but you changed the bloody thing too quickly.

Playing "Best of Van Morrison" at the mo'
