I am listening to "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate.

[Left Is Write]

What are you listening to?

[Left Is Write]

1. Dang. You're too late for this thread...

You Sexy Thing is over, and now I'm listening to Devo, "Girl U Want."

:D

[Fran Kubelik]

iPod on shuffle?

:D

[Left Is Write]

4. Yep.

Now it's The Bee Gees, "You Should Be Dancin'".

You'd think that would motivate me to get off my duff.

[SPKrazy]

2. Cool

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[Richardo]

16. I just downloaded 'Girl U Want' the other night...

Don't know what made me think of it, but likes me some vintage Devo.

[Left Is Write]

17. Me too!

:thumbsup:

3. That's one of my favorites, although when I first got the tape I wondered...

"why the hell is this guy saying 'I believe in Malcom'?"

[Left Is Write]

5. He meant matcom.

:D

[JVS]

6. This was before I knew of matcom. In fact I don't know if he had yet discovered his Matcom identity

[AntiCoup2K08]

10. Maybe they were Ac/Dc fans long before most of us had heard of the band?

And it was a reference to Malcolm Young?

(Ac/Dc were playing live in Australia as early as 1973, though they wouldn't have an album out worldwide until 1976)

7. Oh I LOVE that song!

It's always been one of my favorites. :hi:

[Deja Q]

8. I don't believe in miracles.

:P

[JVS]

9. Do you then confess to the faith of magic in a young girls heart?

[regnaD kciN]

15. Actually, that line always sounded to me like...

..."I believe in manacles" -- could it have been a bondage song? :evilgrin:

[swag]

11. That's such a good song.

So is "Tell Me Somethin' Good" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan

and

"Funky Town" by Lipps Inc.

[Swede]

12. Emmaline was pretty good too.

We were together since we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen
Nobody laughed
A face like an angel
She could be anything

Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

At seventeen we were wed
I'd work day and night
To earn our daily bread
And every day Emma would go out
Searching for that play
That never, ever came her way
You know sometimes she'd come home
So depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room
Feel so distressed
And I'd remember back when she was five
To the words that used to make
Emmaline come alive
It was :
"Emmaline,
Emma, Emmaline,
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
Emmaline,
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen."

It was a cold and dark December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold
Upon the bed
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor
It read :
"Darling I love you,
But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more.
I tried so very hard not to leave you alone.
I just can't keep on trying no more."

Emmaline ...
Aaargh, Emmaline ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmaline ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmaline ...

13. I like that one

I also like their earlier hit "Emma." (I apparently have a soft spot for depressing story-songs!)

I'm currently going through some 45's and weeding out some that aren't in good shape. I just played one I'd never heard: "I Feel a Thrill Coming on" by the Secrets, which I liked quite a bit. It kind of has a mid-sixties, "Northern soul" girl group thing going on.

14. KÀ by Cirque du Soleil, the soundtrack...
