When we heard my sons rendition on a Friday night of Rick Astleys 'Never Goin to give you up' She who has to be obeyed said 'He's pi..ed again.' We still think of it when we hear it played even now.
 




Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club pisses all over 'Good Times'.

For sheer funk with spunk, T-Connection 12" of 'Let Nobody Tell You What To Do' or Santa Esmeralda 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'.

Rapture by Blondie deserves a special mentch, mensch, and pevenseagull should bow down to the opinion of NMH a musical genius :bowdown:

Good Technology by The Red Guitars

Perfect use of pace, contrast and adding layers and layers of melody to build a song to a peak.

Lyrics:

We've got photographs of men on the moon,
We've got water that is good for us,
We've got coffee that's instantaneous,
We've got buildings that are very tall,
We've got cigarettes that are low in tar,
We've got policemen can tell us who we are,
We can reproduce a work of art,
We've got missiles can tear the world apart,
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology.

We've got trains that run underground,
Aeroplanes that fly very fast,
We've got music that is popular,
We've got machines that sound like orchestras,
We've got ability to transplant a heart,
We've got freezers full of body parts,
We've got computers that can find us friends,
We know roughly when the world will end,
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology.

We've got animals with transistors in,
We've got pills that can make you slim,
We've got factories turning frozen chickens out,
We've got ovens that cook in seconds flat,
We've got plastics that are indestructible,
We've got deodorants that make us smell of flowers,
We've got detergents to clean up the sea,
We've got sounds can turn you inside out!

(guitar solo)

Sometimes I wonder what it is all about?
There's lots of leisure time to sit and work it out.
There's a tv show I've got to see,
Good, good, good, good, good, good technology,
Good technology.


Second place to Love will tear us apart by Joy Division.

:flameboun Disco Inferno - The Trammps :flameboun
(Green/Kersey)




Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn! Burn baby burn!
Burnin'!


To my surprise, yes! One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose y’all gettin' down on the roof - Do you hear?
(the folks are flaming)Folks were screamin' - out of control
It was so entertainin' - when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say


Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down
Burnin'!


Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction
(burnin') I couldn't get enough, (till I had to self-destroy)
so I had to
self destruct, (uhu hu hu)
The heat was on (burnin’), rising to the top, huh!
Everybody's goin' strong (uhu hu hu)
And that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say


Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down, yoh!
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down
Burnin'!


Up above my head I hear music in the air - I hear music!
That makes me know there's (somebody) a promise somewhere


Satisfaction came in a chain reaction - Do you hear?
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self destruct,
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody's goin' strong
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say


Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! (Aah yeah!)
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!, yeah!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mother down x2 Burnin’!


MUSIC TURN AROUND (12 bars)


I just can't stop
When (till) my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot


MUSIC TURN AROUND (24 bars)


Burning, burning, burning, burning 6X (24 bars)

all 10:50 worth

"True Faith"

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
 


Simple genius here:

Atmosphere


Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away, in silence,
Don't walk away.

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone
I need exitement oh i need it bad
And its the best, i've ever had

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Little Old lady from Pasadena

It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
But parked in a rickety old garage,
Is a brand-new, shiny red, super-stock Dodge!
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
If you see her on the street, don't try to "choose" her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
You might try to "go" her, but you'll never lose her!
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!)
Well, she's gonna get a ticket now, sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator!
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
The guys come to race her from miles around,
But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down
And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard;
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena...
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go!
Go granny, go granny, go granny...(fade)
