Uncle Joe Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yep B-F, right on the money as usual. Ian, since you like Get Me I suggest you start with EBTG's Amplified Heart Album/CD from 1994 which is actually one of their more acoustic endeavors. Besides Get Me and the big hit, Missing it also includes some of my favorite EBTG songs like We Walk The Same Line, Troubled Mind, etc. I believe I had/have a copy of their version of Night And Day B-F. Let me go look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 "Melting Pot" - Blue Mink (1969) Touching idealism, great music, great style. Great song b-f I have to make an appearance to say that. It may not do all that well because I doubt that Blue Mink are known in the U.S. Pity ! This clip is a bit heavy on the organ/electric piano (?). It'll be in my Ten. ..................................................

OLD 55 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hi Sweetie. Just a flying visit to promote 'Melting Pot'. A charming little 70s song protesting against racism. Unfortunately, some of the lyrics would be considered racist now ! It was later covered by Boy Beorge & Culture Club. Not to be confused with the John Mellencamp or Pitbull offerings. Take a pinch of white man Wrap him up in black skin Add a touch of blue blood And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah You know you lump it all together And you got a recipe for a get along scene Oh what a beautiful dream If it could only come true, you know, you know What we need is a great big melting pot Big enough enough enough to take The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more And turn out coffee coloured people by the score Rabbis and the friars Vishnus and the gurus We got the Beatles or the Sun God Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful You know that livin' could be tasteful We should all get together in a lovin machine I think I'll call up the Queen It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know What we need is a great big melting pot Big enough enough enough to take The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more And turn out coffee coloured people by the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) I had no idea that "Melting Pot" wasn't a hit in the States. It's so very American. I kinda thought it was a song which might have "universal appeal". I remember it from my early childhood, and have always found it highly entertaining. I would suggest that it doesn't so much "protest against racism" as "embrace the concept of multi-culturalism". That it does so in such risibly naive and outmoded (politically incorrect) terms merely adds to its quaint charm.

Farin Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Schrei nach Liebe - Die Ärzte some fun facts: - it was their first release after their reunion in 1993 - it was their first ever political song - it's probably the most famous anti-fascist song in Germany, and I dare to say that everybody below the age of 35 can at least sing the chorus [spoilerq:1]translation of the lyrics[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]You are really stupid That's why you feel so good, Hate is your grand attitude Your blood is always boiling, Everything must be explained to you 'cause You don't know a single thing. Most likely you even don't know What the word 'attitude' means Your violence is just a silent cry for love Your Jump Boots(1) long for tenderness, You never learned how to articulate yourself, And your parents never had time for you ...ohhh a**hole! Why are you afraid of carressing, what's with all this nonsense? Under the laurel wreath bound with acorns, I know there beats a heart, And romance isn't just dull theory to you Between "Störkraft" and the "Onkelz" hovers a Kuschelrock LP!(2) Your violence is just a silent cry for love Your Jump Boots long for tenderness, You never learned how to articulate yourself, And your parents never had time for you ...ohhh a**hole! Because you've got problems nobody wants to know about, Just because you're afraid to hug, You're a fascist. You don't have to lash your selfhatred on to others, So that no one realizes what a nice guy you are(3) ohhh... Your violence is just a silent cry for love Your Jump Boots long for tenderness, You never learned how to articulate yourself, And your girlfriend never had time for you ...ohhh... a**hole! a**hole! a**hole! (1) - Jump Boots are part of the typical Neo-Nazi "uniform" (2) - "Störkraft" and the "Böhse Onkelz" are extreme right-wing or downright neo-nazi rock bands - "Kuschelrock LPs" (Snuggle Rock) are compilations of romantic Soft Rock songs (3) - in current versions this is changed from "nice guy" to "stupid pig", probably for people who never heard of sarcasm [/spoilera] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 1-Breakout - Swing Out Sister (1987)Their breakout song (along with Twilight World) Bravo! 2-Get Me - Everything But The Girl (1994) Haven't you wondered, "Do you ever get me?" Love this song. 3-Thank You - Dido (1999) She's quite welcome. 4-20th Century Boy - T-Rex (1973) Wang, dang, doodlin'...great for car commercial, too. 5-Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Eurythmics (1983) Who am I to disagree? 6-Wishing Well – Free (1973) Get yer feet wet. 7-Silence Is Golden - The Tremeloes (1967) They made a careeer out of covering Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. This was their best, I think. 8-Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White (1969) Gator got your Granny...(chomp, chomp). 9-Baby, I'm Yours - Barbara Lewis (1965) Sa-weeeeeeeeeeeet! 10-Living For The City - Stevie Wonder (1973) Actually the best song on the list. Had to leave off many great tunes this time. If I were to pick this list tomorrow it'd probably have 5 different songs on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
