Depeche Mode:The Things You Said: 1987

“I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
You tried them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that”

Pete, if your plea to me is: Vanash give me a remix of the Indian classic by Nazia Hassan with a cute and sexy(but not sluty Indian chick), then, if you insist, I'll gladly comply!

Woman: John Lennon: 1980

“(For the other half of the sky)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo


Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever”

Double Dutch music video: Malcolm Mclaren
I love this music video released in 1983 by Malcolm Mclaren for just so many reasons. It demonstrated to a global audience the sheer magic of the local South African sound at that time.

Malcolm Mclaren: Double Dutch:1983
“All over the world high school girls
Take to the ropes and turn them slow
Starts a beat and the loop
They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break and they might fall
But the gals in New York City don't
They just start again, start again
Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes

The golden angels, the ford green angels
The five town diamond skippers, the pleasure of rope rippers
Those dark and lovely skippers, those five town diamond skippers
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Hey, swing those ropes 'round and 'round
All the teams change your partners now
Somersault through the hoop, leap to beat
The clicks that keep on coming

Hey, watch your feet
To win the double dutch
Stay jumping
Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

The mighty motion skippers
The pleasure of rope rippers
The dark and lovely skippers
The mighty motion skippers

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Hey girls, how many skips can you do?

All over the world high school girls
Take to the ropes and turn them slow
Starts a beat and the loop
They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break and they might fall
But you know the gals in New York City don't
They just start again, start again
Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes”

just another cool song

Johnny Cash "Mean Eyed Cat"

I gave my woman half my money at the general store,
I said, "Now buy a little groceries and don't spend no more."
But she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat,
And bought some store-bought cat food for that mean-eyed cat.

When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head,
There wasn't a cotton pickin' thing on her side of the bed.
I found a little ol' note, where her head belonged.
It said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone."

When I heard a whistle blowin' and the big wheels a-turnin',
I was scared as I could be.
I put on my overalls and I headed to town.
Gonna bring her back with me.

I asked the man down at the station if he'd seen her there.
I told him all about her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair.
He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad blamed,
I believe I did see her leavin' on the east-bound train."

I bought a round-trip ticket on the east bound train,
I was broke as I could be,
But when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket,
Gonna bring her back with me.

Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas,
And I worked up the guts to call my mother-in-law,
She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right.
She's workin' four-to-twelve at Trucker's World tonight."

Well, when I walked in she saw me and she took off her apron,
And she grabbed her goin'-home hat
She bought a ticket with her tips. Now we're curled up on the sofa,
Me and her and that mean-eyed cat.

Johnny Cash, the black knight. Giant in the music world.

His Ring of Fire as made famous by the Animals (Blues rock version) was always a favourite with our band. I still play it when I'm I'm the mood to grab the guitar.

Succinctly put, Johnny Cash is an old school legend! He’s a seasoned song writer and singer. He has a history too!
‘Cash enlisted in the United States Air Force on July 7, 1950. After basic training at Lackland Air Force Base and technical training at Brooks Air Force Base, both in San Antonio, TX, Cash was assigned to a U.S. Air Force Security Service unit, assigned as a Morse Code Intercept Operator for Soviet Army transmissions at Landsberg, Germany "where he created his first band named The Landsberg Barbarians." He was the first radio operator to pick up the news of the death of Joseph Stalin. After he was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant on July 3, 1954, he returned to Texas.’[1]
I proudly give you Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire: 25/03/1962

“Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire


I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

Please, Please Me: Beatle 22 March1963
If we gonna do old school, you simply can’t ignore The Beatles. The song Please, Please is such a smart collaboration between lyrics, supporting music and sincere expression from the boys. This song really does something to me, it ignites beautiful curiosity! It’s incredibly difficult for any forthcoming artist to create such an extraordinary song with chicks screaming their heads off!

“Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you

You don't need me to show the way, love
Why do I always gave to sat, love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you,
It's so hard to reason with you
Woah yeah, why do you make me blue?

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you.”

[Blurock]

Correction: Please Please Me.

[Citizen X]

Correction: Please Please Me.

Indeed it is, Blurock, Indeed! What a song though! A textbook example of bubble-gum pop!

[Blurock]

Actually very good harmonies in the vocals. Very good number. The start of Beatlemania!
