Good: Trio - Da Da Da

Sticking with the classic 80's tunes you may have missed out on i bring you.....

I'm sure it was written on a Casio keyboard like the one above.... it just has that beat!
Some may say that this song is crap, it has nothing amazing about it..... well you are wrong! This is a brilliantly simple tune that will stick in your head for weeks and weeks!

Lyrics:
aha

What you will and what you won't
What you do and what you don't
What you can and what you can't
This is what you need to know:
Loved you though it didn't show

Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, da da da

da da da
da da da
da da da

Da da da I don't love you you don't love me
Da da da I don't love you you don't love me
Da da da I don't love you you don't love me
Da da da I don't love you you don't love me

(whispered)
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht.

I know why you ran away, aha
Understand you couldn't stay, aha
Wonder where you are today, aha
After all was said and done
It was right for you to run!

Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, aha
Ich lieb' dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht, da da da

Yup thats right! i posted the lyrics :)

Good XTC - Sgt. Rock is going to help me

This tune rocks! I can't believe it only made it to number 13! It could have been released last year by the Kaiser Chiefs and hit number 1!

I think it is a forgotten classic. This blog is becoming more and more of a Lost hits of the 80's blog :)

Lyrics:

"Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me)"

I'm enlisting, overseas aid
need assisting, help with a maid
get the expert, on mademoiselles
he could diffuse, any bombshell

If I could only be tough like him
then I could win
my own, small, battle of the sexes

Sgt. Rock is going to help me
make the girl mine
keep her stood in line
Sgt. Rock is going to help me
make the girl mine
keep her stood in line
make the girl mine, wave the victory sign

I'm invading, territories
Girls are foreign, and strange to me
get the expert, at kissing and stuff
he stays easy, when things get rough

Sometimes relationships don't go as planned
some girls, can make themselves so cold
a no-mans land.

Good The Lords of the New Church - Dance With Me

So its been a long time since i've updated but i have a backlog of good and shit music to blog about!

First up is this 80's classic!
Again it has a classic BASS LINE!!!! all songs need a bass line hook and this sound doesn't disappoint! It was covered in 2006 by Nouvelle Vague in a bossanova style but they failed to make it as good as the original!

The video is a typical 80's fare with an androgynous looking singer wearing pink lipstick! The effects are shit and they like to use FIRE!!!!
but ignore the video its the song thats good.

What do you think about it?




Lyrics:

Let's dance little stranger
Show me secret sins
Love can be like bondage
Seduce me once again

Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve

Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy?
Won't you dance with me?
Ritual fertility.

Like an aparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul

The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall

Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy?
Won't you dance with me?
Ritual fertility.

Oh come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the music's over
Let's give it one more chance.

Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy?
Won't you dance with me?
Ritual fertility.

Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy.
Won't you dance with me?
Ritual fertility.

Good The Associates - Party Fears Two

I would normally hate this stuff... pretentious 80's crap, but i just cant!

The lead singer shuffle dances like Rick Astley, and sings like an opera singer!
yet i still can't hate it! Its too good a tune!

From the very beginning it hooks you in, the keyboard accompanied by that great bass line just hold you... then he starts to sing!

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup
Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this party fears two

And what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me

Don't turn around
I won't have to look at you
And what's not found
Is all that I see in you
My manners are failing me
I'm left feeling ugly
And you say it's wonderful
To live with I never will

So what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me

I'm standing still
And you say I dress too well
Still standing still
I might but it's hard to tell
Even a slight remark
Makes nonsense and turns to shark
Have I done something wrong?
What's wrong's the wrong that's always in wrong

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

What the fuck is he talking about? I don't care though! I just love this tune!

i love it so much i'm posting another video of it on dutch tv!

Fucking Shite! The Feeling - Without You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QDJRbMAtGc
God this is awful awful shite that people try and pass of as music today.
Not only that, the shitey record label (Island) refuse to let me embed the video! So fuck them I'll embed the video that someone else uploaded and link their shitey official video.



You should think yourself lucky that i wasn't allowed to embed the awful video! I'll describe it so you dont have to!
It starts with some gormless looking lad being examined for something by doctors. About halfway through you realise its about a cosmonaut and that's about it! Waste of time and money!
but why a cosmonaut? I've no fucking idea!
The Lyrics are worse though.
Why the fuck do they "Wonder what the time is in London?" look at a fucking clock and work it out!
Don't repeat it every single fucking verse! Pure shite lyrics!
Wonder what the time is in London
Wonder what the time is in London
Wonder what the time is in London
Wonder what the news is in London
Wonder if they miss me in London (NO! STAY THE FUCK AWAY)
Wonder what the time is in London

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr shut the fuck up about London!
For some reason they also link this song to some retard in Virginia shooting students!

"I know I'm not the only lonely child
Thirty dead and one teenage gun man
I wonder what the time is in London"

How fucking lame and self centered are they? oh look loads of people dead but hey i wonder what the time is in London!
Fuck off!

and this is a "BRIT award-nominated British band" pathetic shite! I demand to know Who nominated them so they can be sent to Afghanistan to be shot! Thankfully most of the public agree as "Without You" reached a dizzying Chart Position of 52! even when the song was on BBC Radio 2's A List, meaning it received around 20 plays each week, yet still failed to reach the top 40!

To think of the number of bands out there that are desperate for some recognition never mind a record deal!

Shite Kid Rock - All Summer Long

I approach this video not knowing much about Kid Rock, apart from the fact he pumped Pamela Anderson.
So about the video.... i can see it now..... Mr "Rock" sitting with the record executives.
"Rock": i need a new song....
Executives: how about a cover of Sweet Home Alabama? That's not been about for a small while....
"Rock": PERFECT!

And that's all this is really a cover of a song from the 70's with different lyrics and a slightly different beat.
Its ridiculous that people feel the need to buy this shite when they could get the perfectly good original, and according to wikipedia people are! Since Kid Rock's release, the original song has charted in the UK charts at number 44.
Brilliant! oh and if you don't want to pay $0.99 for a DRM'd shitty download head to your local charity/record shop where I'm sure you'll be able to find an album from Lynyrd Skynyrd containing this amongst other great tunes like Free Bird (will probably cover it later!)

So overall fuck Kid Rock go give your money direct to Lynyrd Skynyrd!

Good Gil Scott-Heron -The Bottle

Gil Scott-Heron is a genius! He probably should have taken the message in this song as not just for the bottle, but for the crack pipe as well!

Your Music Is.... Trivia: Gil Scott-Heron's Dad, Giles "Gil" Heron (nicknamed "The Black Arrow") was a Jamaican football player who, in the 1950s, was the first ever black player to play for Glasgow's Celtic Football Club.

Along with Brian Jackson he created this masterpiece! That's some funky flute playing! All tunes need a funky Bass player and a flute over the top! Its essential!

Let's hope Gil can stop snorting the Coke and get back to writing some great tunes...

I suspect we'll see Gil here again at some point as he does have a huge back catalog!
