    My Kind of Girl: Cinema: somewhere early 80’s South Africa

    Remember Cinema and My Kind of Girl,’ Our SA artist too recognized the lure of bubble-gum pop..

    “Cinema became a pop sensation that graced the pages of almost every magazine and newspaper during the 80s and 90s.

    With no less than twelve Number 1 hit singles both nationally and internationally the band became a household name throughout South Africa.

    Their songs are still play listed on most national, regional and community radio stations and fans still show their appreciation by continuously visiting Cinemas website and sending emails from all corners of the globe.

    Cinema toured constantly for over 10 years and became one of the countries most exciting live acts whilst attracting thousands of fans and performing sellout shows from Johannesburg to Prieska and Cape Town to Lichtenburg.”[1]



    “I won’t be dancing tonight

    I played my cards just right
    And now I’ve found someone
    Someone to love me
    No excuses, oh no
    You blew my fuses
    And all my lights are down
    I’m so glad to have found you
    My kind of girl, my kind of girl
    I should show the world to find, my girl, my kind of girl
    And all those guys dress to kill
    I know that some-day they will find somebody too
    But they won’t find you
    Because you told me today and warned me today, I said I will
    I so glad to have found you
    My kind of girl, my kind of girl
    I should show the world to find, my girl, my kind of girl
    I want the whole world to see that girl who’s in love with me”

    Talking about local acts - why is it that every karaoke singer in this country is making an Afrikaans cd?

    THE WHO - YOUNG MAN BLUES


    Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
    I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

    You know in the old days
    When a young man was a strong man
    All the people they'd step back
    When a young man walked by

    But you know nowadays
    It's the old man,
    He's got all the money
    And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
    [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/young-man...yrics-who.html ]
    I said nothing

    Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'.
    Everybody!
    Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'
    He got nothin'
    Nothin'

    Take it easy on the young man
    They ain't got nothin' in the world these days
    I said they ain't got nothin'!
    They got sweet fuck-all!

    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...

    It was 1988 as it were, my friends and I went to a now defunct night club called “ harlem Shaffle,” There was these lounge suite kind of set ups, you could smoke cigarettes in the club. So, you’d sit in this lounge like set up , light up and just ash anywhere and put out your cigarette on the lounge suite itself. I vividly remember, one of my friends vomiting all his whisky out, we simply moved to the next lounge suite and continued as normal. For reasons unclear to me to this day, this cute chick comes and sits next to me, we have some form of conversation but that sudden uncontrollable urge to vomit occurred , so I done just that, but I vomited all over her. What happed next is more puzzling, my friends and I just got up and moved to the next lounge suite and continued as normal. This chick was lost in a few seconds of whisky unconsciousness!
    Just reaching out to all those lovers who can’t find themselves you know!
    “ It’s got me dancing on the floor, it’s got me crying out for more,
    It’s the music! Reggae music, Rasta music!
    Flash light, flash light, oh no, no, no, no
    Flash light, flash light, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
    Flash light, flash light, Knock, knock, knock knock knock!
    It’s got me bouncing on this floor, it’s got me dancing for more,
    It’s me rocking for more, it’s the music and the sound!
    And, this your music, reggae, strongest music, rasta music
    Flasha flash light, flashlight my darling,
    Flasha flash light, flashlight my sweetheart,
    Flash light, flash light, oh no, no, no, no
    Flash light, flash light, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
    Flash light, flash light, Knock, knock, knock knock knock!"
    Brief history of the sheer beauty of this song at 3 am in a quiet neighborhood
    (Disclaimer: The insignia on this youtube video is not my creation, my posting of someone else’s you-tube video doesn’t necessarily mean that I approve of their insignia!! Fact is , this is the only Benjamin Ball you-tube video that I could find..
    Firstly, you had to have an academic chick, secondly you had to be as drunk as a skunk at 3 am on a Sunday morning and you wanted to dedicate your love in song to your chick…so you sang and she hated it and you loved the fact that she hated it!!!!
    Flasha flasha, falsha my sweeeetheart, flasha flash light flashlight my daaarliiing
    Flasha flasha, falsha my sweeeetheart, flasha flash light flashlight my daaarliiing
    Flasha flasha, falsha my sweeeetheart, flasha flash light flashlight my daaarliiing
    AND you didn’t stop AND she wasn’t impressed AND you didn’t care and still didn’t stop singing just those two lines…

    SO I proudly give you Benjamin's Ball's Flash light Flash Light..ENJOY


    Disclaimer: If in doubt about insignia on this video, please read my disclaimer, not allowing this one to come back and haunt me in the ensuing years!!I don't approve of the insignia...as mentioned, I couldn't find a Benjamin Ball Falsh light Flash Light video on youtube besides this one, so it will just have to do!!!

    1. Reggae music is engraved on my heart. It’s engraved in a wholly original manner. The best way that I can really describe it is that this music was engraved upon my heart by an artist with a broken beer bottle as his painting brush. This broken bottle was cut around my heart several times.Some broken pieces of glass still remain! It was cut in such a way that this music is now part of who I am as a human being. I’ll take this music with me to my grave;
    2. IN the 80’s UB40 made what can now be seen as a low budget movie called Labour of Love 1. I can identify with so many aspects of this movie! Ever walked to a party some distance from your home in Winter as a kid just because you knew that a certain chick would be there? Well, I did, and in this movie, there is one classic scene, Ali Campbell does just that, It’s Winter and he knows that this chick called ‘Cherry,’ will be at this party. On approaching the party location, the charismatic sound of Version girl sings out, just the way it supposed to be. This song is best enjoyed on open speakers among like-minded people. This song is the chosen song to play upon Ali entering this party, followed by Sweet Sensation and Cherry Oh Baby.
    3. Version Girl is a toasting classic, perfectly rendered, two people singing to the very same melody but with different words. Harmonisation at its best. There was just so much to this music that made it special and keeps it special!

    I proudly give you Labour of Love 1

    1. Cherry Oh Baby
    Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby.
    Don't you know I'm in love with you
    If you don't believe it's true,
    What else is there for me to do?
    So long I've been waiting,
    For you to come right in.
    And now that we are together,
    Please make my joy come over.

    Chorus

    Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
    Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    Oh, yeah.
    Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
    Don't you see I'm in love with you?
    If you don't believe I do,
    Then why don't you try me?
    I will never gonna let you down,
    I will Never make you wear no frown.
    If you say that you love me madly,
    Well babe I'll accept you gladly.

    Chorus

    Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
    Don't you see I'm in love with you?
    If you don't believe I do,
    Then why don't you try me?
    I will never gonna let you down,
    I will Never make you wear no frown.
    If you say that you love me madly,
    Well babe I'll accept you gladly.”



    2. Keep on Moving
    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Lord, I gotta get on down
    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Where I can't be found
    Law, they coming after me

    I've been accused of a killing
    Lord knows, I didn't do
    For hanging me, they are willing
    That's why I gotta get on through
    Law, they coming after me

    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Lord, I gotta get on down
    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Where I can't be found
    Law is coming after me

    I've got two boys and a woman
    They're just gonna suffer now
    Lord forgive me for not going back
    But I'll be there anyhow
    I'll be there anyhow

    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Lord, I gotta get on down
    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Where I can't be found
    Law is coming after me

    Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
    Somewhere not by or near anyone
    Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman
    And my two grown up sons
    My two grown up sons

    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Lord, I gotta get on down
    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
    Where I can't be found
    Law is coming after me

    3. Please don’t make me cry


    You say you're gonna to leave me, I'm beggin' you to stay
    But baby, I can't get through it anyway, no I can't
    And when I wake up in the mornin', you are gone
    Little pretty thing, you know I'll be all alone
    You'll hear me crying

    Please don't make me cry cause I can't say good-bye
    Please don't make me cry
    Because I know there will be nothing left for me

    All them good, good times we spent together
    You said it was me and no other, yeah
    And now you want to make me be pained inside
    Darlin', I know you are going to make me cry
    You'll hear me crying

    Please don't make me cry cause I can't say good-bye
    Please don't make me cry
    Because I know there will be nothing left for me

    All this pain I can't stand it, you're going to leave
    You're going to leave this poor man on his own
    Yes, you are

    Please don't make me cry
    Cause I can't say good-bye, show some sympathy
    Please don't make me cry
    Because I know there will be nothing left for me

    All this pain, I can't stand it, you're going to leave
    You're going to leave this poor man on his own
    Yes, you are

    Please don't make me cry, baby, I'm pleading

    See you: Depeche Mode: 1982(High Definition)

    These lyrics are poetic to the point where it has a haunting effect! I tried even as a kid to put myself in the position of the songwriter, to really try and understand what this urgency was all about!
    What if, in your individual circumstance, the one thing that would mean most to you is to simply see someone from your past, with no untoward intentions and this just doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen??? Moreover, seeing this person again is of paramount significance to you..what a quandary. John Lock, Thomas Hobbe and John Rawls analyse this!
    I think that one would reach this point only for a phenomenal woman..



    “All I want to do is see you again
    Is that too much to ask for?
    I just want to see your sweet smile
    Smile the way it was before.”

    All I want to do is see you again
    Is that too much to ask for?
    I just want to see your sweet smile
    Smile the way it was before
    Well I'll try not to hold you
    And I'll try not to kiss you

    And I won't even touch you
    All I want to do is see you
    Don't you know that it's true

    I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
    And sit on a bench for a while
    I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
    And look in each others eyes
    You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance

    But I swear I won't touch you
    All I want to do is see you
    Don't you know that it's true

    Well I know five years is a long time
    And that times change (oh that times change)
    But I think that you will find
    People are basically the same
    (basically the same)
    If the water's still flowing, we can go for a swim
    And do the things we used to do
    And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in
    And we can relive our youth
    Oh but we'll stay friendly like sister and brother


    Though I think I still love you
    All I want to do is see you
    Don't you know that it's true?”

    It doesn’t get as classic as this, this one goes back to 1906!!!!!
    The poem in question is “The Highway man,’ written by Alfred Noyles in 1906. The idea of the poet was to create a background imagery to his words. This poem in set in 18th century Britain. He wanted you to see something! As Dave would probably say, “the devil is in the details,” So Fleetwood Mac gives you fine details…The musical Video ‘Everywhere,’ from a very special album “Tango in the night,”: 1988 entices you with imagery of an old scroll with the words
    “The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,” the music video itself then tells you the rest of the story of this poem, tragic really, this charming robber (okay so he robbed people by day and was Romeo at night). Notwithstanding this this robber that the poem describes falls in love with a fairly decent girl.. Down town guy for uptown girl? She’s the daughter of this inn keeper. Being the character the highway man was, he was always on the run. He was due to see her on one ghostly night. She was expecting him. This was not to be. Before he arrives, some British soldiers find their way there first. They want to catch the highway man, what better way to do it than by waiting for him at his girlfriends place! One drunk soldier has a gun pointed at her chest, but he falls asleep, she’s tied up, the gun is still pointed to her chest. She moves around in such a manner, that she’s able to pull the trigger and kill herself. She does this, so that the highway man can hear the shot and not be caught! So the ghost of the highway man rides that ghastly road every night to be everywhere with Bess!!!
    I proudly give you Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere:-

    “Can you hear me calling
    Out your name
    You know that I'm falling
    And I don't know what to say

    I'll speak a little louder
    I'll even shout
    You know that I'm proud
    And I can't get the words out

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere


    Something's happening
    Happening to me
    My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

    C'mon baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    (Wanna be with you everywhere)

    Can you hear me calling
    Out your name
    You know that I'm falling
    And I don't know what to say

    Come along baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere.”

    “The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
    The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
    The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
    And the highwayman came riding—
    Riding, the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”
