Old school music is cool!

Richie Valens and the song he wrote for his girlfriend!

Richie Valens died at the tender age of 18! His music career lasted for a mere 8 months. The final song he released was written about his real high school sweetheart ‘Donna Ludwig.’
This has particular appeal to me because it was not just any song, it was conceived with someone in mind.

....The 80's was also about movie soundtracks.. Labamba 1987..

Just 'talking about my generation!"


“I had a girl Donna was her name
Since she left me I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Now that you're gone I'm left all alone,
All by myself to wander and roam, 'Cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?
Oh, well darlin', now that you're gone I don't know, what I'll do all those times, and all my love for you
I had a girl Donna was her name Since she left me I've never been the same 'Cause I love my girl Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?”

Quando, Quando, Quando
Engelbert Humperdinck
“Tell me when will you be mine
Tell me quando, quando, quando
We can share a love divine
Please don´t make me wait again

When will you say ´yes´ to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando
You mean happiness to me
Oh, my love, please tell me when

Every moments a day
Every day seems a lifetime
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare

I can´t wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say it´s me that you adore
And then, darlin´, tell me when”

A remix I approve of!! Michael Buble and Nelly Fartado

The Beach Boy: Kokomo: 1988
Movie: Coctail
Just talking about my generation! If you were a teenage in the 80’s I can’t see how you would have missed Tom Cruise in the movie Coctail in 1988 on the big-screen ….It was the kind of movie you took your chick to see.. the darkness of the cinema would have probably done the rest for you guys1 Use your imagination! I spare you my horny teenage cinema details! Don’t want to scare the kids! Hey just a though, some chicks have a tendency of upsetting my dogs!!!!


“Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego,
baby why don't we go,
Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
there's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand,
tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

[Chorus:]
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,
we'll get there fast
and then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go,
way down in Kokomo.

Martinique, that Monserrat mystique...

We'll put out to sea
and we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy
a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight,
cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye,
give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo



Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse...

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo”

Ever found that you have no one you can trust, ask for help or just talk about things? Almost like everyone just left you behind?

Then this song will have a more profound meaning.

GODSMAK "I stand Alone"

Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna pay

Now I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you outa me
You run away

I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading

I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it

I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading

I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

And now it's my time (now it's my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)
Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued
By the poison in me

Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe

Breathe into me

I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

Feeling your sting down inside of me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone

Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

Oh Yeah, the bittersweet feeling of solitude. Know it all too well!!! My equivalent, a song which carried me when I was down as akid, young adult and even today as a man remain 'Who the cap fit,' the song speaks volumes for itself

Who the cap fit: Bob Marley
“Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don't know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.

Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
So only he could reveal it.
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Said ah throw meh corn, me no call no fowl;
Ah saying, "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."

Some will hate you, pretend they love you now,
Then behind they try to eliminate you.
But who Jah bless, no one curse;
Thank God, we're past the worst.
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite.
And if your night should turn to day,
Ah lot of people would run away.
And who the cap fit let them wear it!
Who the (cap fit) let them (wear it)!

And then ah-gonna throw me corn,
And then ah-gonna call no fowl,
And then ah-gonna "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."

Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you, yeah!
And if night should turn to day, now,
Ah lot of people would run away, yeah!
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl;
Ah-saying: "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."
... : "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."
Throw meh corn (cook-cook-cook);
Me call no fowl (cluk-cluk-cluk)”

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”
