That's AHA, isn't it? I was given an album (tape) of theirs when I was a youngster but I'm pleased to say that I was never a fan. On the radio I heard that they've just released something new.

 

I think they're trying to say that life is shown to be wonderful on TV. Perhaps they never watch the news.

Ever checked out some of the weirder track names? For example Pink Floyd's Track entitled; Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict, from the Ummagumma album

Aha have actually done some decent stuff you know. After their first teenybop phase they came up with some moody sounding pop - I had an album of theirs they did about 5 years ago and it was surprisingly good. Minor Earth or something it was called. One of those bands that just gets saddled with an image early on that they just can't shake off...

Indeed.

Some Japanese band of the 80's had a song titled 'Sticky Music' - that was weird.

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be

Without a song or a dance what are we

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me

 

****ABBA Thank you for the music ****

You really like Abba, don't you gamera.

 

Must admit I don't dislike them myself, even though they sure aren't within my usual gang of faves and wouldn't fit well with most of them!

It's uncategorical

A fuel burning oracle

A fantasmagorical machine

It's more than spectacular

To use the vernacular

It's wizard, it's smashing, it's keen

 

Oh Chitty you Chitty pretty Chitty Bang Bang

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

We love you,

And Chitty our Chitty pretty Chitty Bang Bang

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang loves us too

High Chitty low Chitty anywhere we go

On Chitty Chitty we depend

Who me?

No, not joking.

Singing some songs helps to improve your speaking skill in the language and that's how I have improved my English pronounciation.

 

Need to sing kinda fast for Chitty chitty bang bang.

Slower songs help much better like Carpenter's songs and e.g. this.

KURT'S REJOINDER

 

 

"Burger cruising just above the ground, ground, ground

And gunner puts a burnish on his steel

Anna with her feelers moving round, round, round

Is sharpening her needles on the wheel.

 

Burger Bender bargain blender shine, shine, shine

And gunner burn the leader on the fuse

Bundle up the numbers counting three - six - nine

Here's Anna building webs across our shoes.

 

Celebrate the loss of one and all, all, all

And separate the torso from the spine

Burger Bender bouncing like a ball, ball, ball

So Burger Bender bargain blender shine.

 

Do the Do-si-do, do the Mirror Man

Do the Boston Crab, do the Allemande."

 

Gotta love the surreal universe Brian Eno created in the 70s

How about these:

 

Black Box Recorder: The English Motorway System (Haines & Moore)

 

Ah ah, ah ah

Ah ah, ah ah

 

The English motorway system is beautiful and strange

It's been there forever, it's never going to change

It eliminates all diversions, it eliminates all emotions

(All you got to do to stay alive is drive)

 

There are things we need to talk about

There are things I cannot do without

 

If you think the journey's over

Let me know, don't make me wait

 

(Driving with no aim or intention)

On the English motorway

 

The English motorway system can be quite hypnotising

You achieve a Zen-like state, as someone else's driving

It becomes detached observing, colours and straight lights

Distant town and exit signs

(Do you really want to break up?)

 

There are things we need to talk about

There are things I cannot do without

 

Is this the end of the rainbow?

Am I just colour-blind?

 

(Leave the north, visit friend's at south)

On the English motorway

 

The English motorway system, is an accident waiting to happen

On the black ice, a lorry jack knives, on there's freezing fog in November

And you wonder if there's someone who really does decide

I thought I saw you in a distance

(Do you really want to break up?)

 

There are things we need to talk about

There are things I cannot do without

 

When you think the journey's over

Let me know, don't make me wait

 

(Driving with no aim or intention)

On the English motorway

 

The English motorway system is beautiful and strange

The English motorway system is beautiful and strange

The English motorway system is beautiful and strange

The English motorway system is beautiful and strange
