Farin Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) just listened to: "Ich habe geträumt, ich wäre Pizza essen mit Mark E. Smith" by Tocotronic which translates to "I dreamt, I was eating Pizza with Mark E. Smith" who, as you probably all know, is the lead singer of The Fall I dreamt I was eating Pizza with Mark E. Smith of course he told me how terrible everything is We talked and ate almost the whole night at the end he told me how to make records I never just thought in my dreams about it but I've, so to speak, spend the night with Mark E. Smith Edited March 9, 2009 by Guest added translated lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 the recent posts in Earworms made me think of this song: Sumisu ~ Farin Urlaub our days were dark our shirts were black we stood in the corner of the schoolyard and we exchanged deeply disappointed looks and everytime we were sad (sad we were quite often) we went to your home and listened to the Smiths our nights were lonely our hearts were heavy there was nobody who could or wanted to understand us and so we were getting close and everytime we were sad (sad we were quite often) I took you in my arms and we listened to the Smiths sometimes also the Cure or New Order but mostly the Smiths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Neil Young mentions Bob Dylan, on the album Living With War: "Flags Of Freedom" Today's the day our younger son Is going off to war Fightin' in the age old battle We've sometimes won before Flags that line old main street Are blowin' in the wind These must be the flags of freedom flyin' Church bells are ringin' As the families stand and wave Some of them are cryin' But the soldiers look so brave Lookin' straight ahead Like they know just where they're goin' Past the flags of freedom flyin' Sister has her headphones on She hears the music blasting She sees her brother marchin' by Their bond is everlasting Listening to Bob Dylan singin' in 1963 Watching the flags of freedom flyin' She sees the president speakin' On a Flat-screen TV In the window of the old appliance store She turns to see her brother again But he's already walkin' past The flags of freedom flyin' Have you seen the flags of freedom? What color are they now? Do you think that you believe in yours More than they do theirs somehow? When you see the flags of freedom flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 The Clash - "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" Midnight to six man For the first time from Jamaica Dillinger and Leroy Smart Delroy Wilson, your cool operator Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae With backing bands sound systems And if they've got anything to say There's many black ears here to listen But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right Charging from the bass knives to the treble But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack 'Cos it won't get you anywhere Fooling with your guns The British Army is waiting out there An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons White youth, black youth Better find another solution Why not phone up Robin Hood And ask him for some wealth distribution Punk Rockers in the UK They won't notice anyway They're all too busy fighting For a good place under the lighting The new groups are not concerned With what there is to be learned They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny Turning rebellion into money All over people changing their votes Along with their overcoats If Adolf Hitler flew in today They'd send a limousine anyway I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf Who looks so sick in the sun I'm the white man in the Palais Just lookin' for fun I'm only Looking for fun Oh please mister just leave me alone i'm only looking for fun I highlighted the line about "Burton Suits", not because that's the name of an artist - it's actually the name of a reputed UK gents outfitter - but, because it is a snide reference to The Jam. There was a lot of competitiveness and back-biting amongst the "front-runners" in the UK punk scene. Ironically, The Clash ultimately did a pretty fine job themselves of "turning rebellion into money". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Garden Party - Artist: Rick Nelson - peak Billboard position # 6 in 1972 - inspired by Rick's experience at a Madison Square Garden concert - Words and Music by Rick Nelson I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends A chance to share old memories and play our songs again When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name No one recognized me, I didn't look the same CHORUS But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself People came from miles around, everyone was there Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air 'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise CHORUS lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came No one heard the music, we didn't look the same I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave CHORUS lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck CHORUS lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah 'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself Garden Party - Songfacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Heard this one on my iPod: Fear in the air, tension everywhere Unemployment rising fast The Beatles new record's a gas And the only safe place to live Is on an indian reservation And the band played on Ball of Confusion-Temptations And this on my car radio as I was pulling into my driveway: Put on a little Dylan, sitting on a fence I say that line is great, you ask me what it meant by: "Said I shot a man named Gray, took his wife to Italy She inherited a million bucks, and when she died It came to me, I can't help it if I'm lucky" Only Wanna Be with You-Hootie & the Blowfish And also remembered these: That's the way it began, we were hand in hand Glenn Miller's Band was better than before We yelled and screamed for more And the Porter tunes (Night and Day) Made us dance across the room It ended all too soon And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone Reminiscing-Little River Band And: With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue dissolve the nerves that have just begun.
