  1. My favorite Bee Gee song is "More Than a Woman." The reason, though, is rather dubious. I used to think that when they were singing "more than a woman" they were singing "bald headed woman." I still sing it that way now.

  2. Is this it?

    You say I only hear what I want to

    You say I talk so all the time so

    And I thought what I felt was simple

    And I thought that I don't belong

    And now that I am leaving

    Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you

    Yeah yeah, I missed you

    You say I only hear what I want to:

    I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running

    To anyone, anywhere

    I don't understand if you really care,

    I'm only hearing negative

    Know, know, know that

    So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up (turn the radio)

    And this woman was singing my song:

    Lover's in love and the other's run away

    Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay

    Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was

    Dying since the day they were born

    Well, well, this is not that

    I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown

    And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure

    You try to tell me that I'm clever

    That won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you

    You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong

    I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."

    Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you

    Yeah, I miss you

    You said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go

    "You try to give away a keeper, or keep me

    'Cause you know you're just scared to lose

    And you say, "Stay."

    You say I only hear what I want to

    I think she is married to Paul Simon, too.

  3. I think there are three versions!, There is the album version from Super Black Market Clash that has different lyrics from the single version of the song that you can find on The Singles or The Clash On Broadway. The third verion was the "B" side to the Radio Clash extended play single. It is an instrumental version. The reason, I would guess, for the different versions could be that The Clash re-worked the song and liked the newer version, so it was released as a single.

  4. yes..and no. The song was a cover version of an older reggae tune called ' Pass the Cutchie'. Now, 'cutchie' is 70s Jamaican slang for a spliff, but seeing as how Musical Youth were just kids, their manager didn't think it was a smart idea for them to sing about that kind of thing iif they were going to be succesful, so..the word got changed to 'dutchie', which is a type of big Jamaican cooking pot. Problem solved instantly, no posible offence could be given,.. and a big hit was the result!

    DS, how is Cutchie pronounced? Is it cut-chee? If the first syllable is pronounced coo, that would certainly have a different meaning (at least here in the US) and would have been more likely a Rick James song....

  5. I could have done without Pete Townshend's 1989 release, "The Iron Man." Since I am a huge fan of Townshend, I might have given this cd more of a chance than had it not been his. It never grew on me.

    Then again, my favorite solo projects are also Townshend's.

    "Empty Glass", "All the Best Cowboys Have Chineese Eyes", "White City" and even "PSYCHODERELICT" are often revisited.

  6. Up until recently, my wife thought the line "The bright blessed day, and the dark sacred night" from Louis Armstrong's song What A Wonderful World was "The bright blessed day, and the dogs say goodnight."

    There are others, but I cant think of them right now.

  7. I think this has been mentioned somewhere before, but the god blessed whistling in "Patience" by GNR makes me want to slit my wrists and drink my own blood to make the dying process even faster. :beady:

    My dad picked up a saying when he was in the Marine Corps that he would ask when he heard someone whistling (ok, it was me whistling): "There are only two kinds of people who whistle. Bosuns mates and a**holes. Which one are you?"

  8. You cant get too much more California sounding than The Beach Boys. I think the song you are looking for is "Do You Wanna Dance?" off of the 1965 album The Beach Boys Today.

    Do You Wanna Dance?

    Do you want to dance and hold my hand

    Tell me baby I'm your lover man

    Oh baby do you want to dance?

    Do you want to dance under the moonlight

    Hold me baby all through the night

    Oh baby

    Do you want to dance?

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance?

    Do you want to dance under the moonlight

    Kiss me baby all through the night

    Oh baby

    Do you want to dance?

    Do you want to dance under the moonlight

    Squeeze me, squeeze me baby all through the night

    Oh baby

    Do you want to dance?

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance?

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    Do you, do you, do you

    Do you want to dance

    The Ramones did a cool version, too.

  9. Marlon was a big supporter of The Dairy Board. This support was evidenced by his early pioneer work doing product placement in movies, starting with the glamorization of the use of butter in "Last Tango In Paris."

  10. I haven't seen it in a hundred years, but didn't they drink milk with drugs in it? Does a body good! ::

    "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in a Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."

    Remember the tables? Nagoy ptitsas on their rocks and feet, sherries to the floor, with glass over them. They spent a lot of time there enjoying vellocet moloko while planning how they would vred the yarbles of some pyahnitsa in a horrorshow display of ultraviolence.

    The slang used in the movie was based on Russian, some Gypsy, and rhyming.
