Old school music is cool!

Bob Marley: Rat Race:1976: Lyrics and Video


“You got the horse race;
You got the dog race;
You got the human-race;
But this is a rat race, rat race!”

“Uh! Ya too rude!
Uh! Eh! What a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
Oh, what a rat race!
This is the rat race! Rat race!
Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
Oh, what a rat race, yeah! Rat race!
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a, some a guine-gog-a
In this 'ere rat race, yeah!
Rat race!
I'm singin' that
When the cat's away,
The mice will play.
Political voilence fill ya city, ye-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say;
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race! Rat race, I'm sayin':
When you think is peace and safety:
A sudden destruction.
Collective security for surety, ye-ah!
Don't forget your history;
Know your destiny:
In the abundance of water,
The fool is thirsty.
Rat race, rat race, rat race!
Rat race!
Oh, it's a disgrace
To see the human-race
In a rat race, rat race!
You got the horse race;
You got the dog race;
You got the human-race;
But this is a rat race, rat race!”

Bob Marley: Bad card:1980: Lyrics and Video(Studio rehearsal)


“I want to disturb my neighbor
Cause I'm feeling so right
I want to turn up my disco
Blow them to full watts tonight
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style”

“You a go tired fe see me face
Can't get me out of the race
Oh man you said I'm in your place
And then you draw bad card
A make you draw bad card
And then you draw bad card
Propaganda spreading over my name
Say you want to bring another life to shame
Oh man you just playing a game
And then you draw bad card, draw bad card
A make you draw bad card, draw bad card
A make you draw bad card

I want to disturb my neighbor
Cause I'm feeling so right
I want to turn up my disco
Blow them to full watts tonight
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style

Cause we guarding the palace so majestic
Guareding the palace so realistic
Them a go tired fe see we face, oh yeah
Me say them can't get we out of the race
Oh man it's just a big disgrace

The way you draw bad card, draw bad card
The way you make wrong moves, make wrong moves
The way you draw bad card, draw bad card
A make you draw bad card, draw bad card
A make you draw bad card
In a rub-a-dub style, in a rub-a-dub style.”

George Benson Give Me The Night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYJpr09IgQ

Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive.
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.

You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.

So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night. Gimme the night.

And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So gimme the night. Gimme the night...

George Benson always had that "easy listening" style.

A song of note!

There’s something so unique and rare about this original music video that you simply have to experience it. If you had memories associated with it, well that’s just an added bonus!

I wish my workshop was like this

I do not want to pee on your batteries, but this is the type of sound (not musical) that I absolutely hate. It should have a footnote: No musical instruments were used in the production of this video. Millions of ears were harmed by the noise of our computers. The girls are OK though.

[Blurock]

Well, Spring is in the air. Let's dance!

[Blurock]

The Commitments was a movie about an Irish Soul band (remember soul music?) that broke up just before they could make the big time. Mustang Sally has always been one of my favourites. So lekker losgat...

Not really music at all, but great workshop crew

A very good morning to you Vanash, I have a 4LP set, master cut not pressed, of "The Ultimate George Benson Collection" it was evaluated at R2800.00 about a year ago. I don't get to listen to my LP's any more as I can't find a stylus for my turntable, the last time I found one (1992) it set me back R3100.00, it's a pity as I have about 1850 various collections all on master cut LP's. I chatted with a friend from a recording company who said he could write my LP's to discs, but it's not cheap!

[pmbguy]

@Blurock - Sorry for hurting your ears, it was for your eyes you see

So let’s get back to good old school with a classic Spanish folk song

In order to dance La Bamba
In order to dance La Bamba a little bit of grace is needed
A little bit of grace and something else
Ah! Up http://lyricstranslate.com and up
And up and up and up I'll go
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor but I'll become one for you
I'll become one for you, I'll become one for you
Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba
In order to dance La Bamba
In order to dance La Bamba one needs a little bit of grace
A little bit of grace and something else
Ah! Up and up
And up and up and up I'll go
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor, I'm a captain
I'm a captain, I'm a captain
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor
I'm a captain, I'm a captain, I'm a captain
Bamba, bamba,
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba
In order to go up and reach the sky
In order to go up and reach the sky
A long ladder is needed
A long ladder and a short ladder
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor
I'm a captain, I'm a captain, I'm a captain
Bamba, bamba,
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba

Good afternoon Dave,
I can definitely relate! The turn-tables as we knew them required very specific and at times high quality ‘needles.’
The LP set is something so special that you simply keep it along with all your others.
Just imagine so many current millions have never held a vinyl lp in their hands, had the pleasure of engaging with your music by playing it on belt driven device. Ofcourse open sound speakers are a must!
