Good morning pop pickers :D

All this cheesey 1960's chat of 'uptempo blasts from the pasts' transported me back to 1967 and Tony Blackburn, the voice of Radio 1.

The Move, Flowers In The Rain

Sensational :P

Summer festivals coming up. Musis is fine, not my favorite, but always good to have home boys over.

S&G LoL, they inspired me to pick up guitar playing. Don't how it is where you from shaf, but in Holland 'mellow' is used when you are under the influence of weed. People might think the wrong thing. Just saying.

The music and the voice of the Justin is phenomenal !! Every single song is memorable & unique. I can't stop playing it. If you forgot how good this American singer could be, pick this up.

Not a happy song or occasion. This week a bus crashed, 22 Belgium/Dutch children died coming back from a ski trip. Yesterday, I witnessed a remembrance service by chance (didn't plan to, but when walking outside I stood there for a while). It was said, when a child dies, 's/he becomes a bright star high up in the sky.

This song was played:

Can't beat a good rendition of Elgar - always brings to mind the last night at the proms and the flag waving etc.! Excellent stuff - rousing stuff for us Brits. ;)

Disney's take on it is excellent too (from Fantasia 2000):

^Ah, one of my dad's favourites! I remember him going on about the goons... but wasn't Michael Bentine also one of them too?

A bit before my time though - but I'm not a grandfather yet! ;)



Here's something more modern also from the UK



:D

You really need to brush up on our traditions if you want to pass the Britishness test Shafique

Never heard of it! That sort of stuff is only played on the Asian Network or Punjabi FM, neither of which I tune in to, neither do any of my friends, either, we stick to Radio I and 2 and Five Live.
Here's something mainstream from Lily Allen. Her dad's famous too! He had a staring role in a recent BBC adaptation of Robin of Sherlock. Run and ask your daddy about Robin Hood, Shafique!

At first when I see you cry,
yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

I suggest you look up who the founding members of the Goon show were. You've failed the Britishness test BM - shame on you. ;) Funny that you're failing in a thread about music! :) :D

I do like Lily Allen though - and her dad Keith (and yes, we enjoyed him as the Sheriff in Robin Hood, which also had a Muslim lady outlaw - Djaq! - that must have annoyed you!! ). Keith Allen also wrote the following (famous for John Barnes awful rap! ):

ingerland, eng -er -land, ingerland! :D :D

I'm not the one who had to ask my dad :D

Shame on you for putting that youtube with John Terry on the front screen :shock:
Maybe you haven't heard through the jungle drums that he's in Court later this year for racial abuse? I have to say I think he's rather an attractive man so I can see where you're coming from :P
In the words of the mighty Shafique....epic fail on your part
LMFAO

Now what we Brits do best, the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Westminster Abbey 2011

No, you're the one that accused me of not knowing who were in the Goons. At least I paid attention to what my dad said to me - you were there! :)

As for imagining that New Order's song by Keith Allen is an 'epic failure' - that's just too funny. :D

Big weddings - that's something we British Asians have in common with the Royal family - nice of you to highlight this. (Although the British Gypsies also have big fat weddings ... :shock: ) :D :D

But, never mind grandma, you're due a win shortly.. in the mean time, here's a classic played live:

I accused you of not knowing who the Goons were? Did I really? I'll have to go back and check my post. I thought it was you who asked me!

You failure was puting John Terry up :D What was it he is alleged to have said? :blackeye:

But, never mind grandma, you're due a win shortly..


Jeez, thanks Fatboy, I'll keep trying!

Was invited this morning for a "Zouk" class. I never heard of Zouk dancing before, but I liked it. Checking it out on google, it appears in summertime at one of my favorite hang out places, Zouk-workshops are given. Never knew that, how could I have missed it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7eS69lnrsg



I was recovering from yesterday, so decided not to join, but I am considering for the next time. In the mean time I am looking for Zouk-music. They have CD's, and I think it's kinda R&B meets Salsa music. Any-one any ideas/suggestions? I think this one is nice for slow Zouk dancing, no?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvA6L4fpgdo



I never was much into R&B, although Rihanna is R&B, right? I don't like Kelly, or Nelly, or whatever the name is.



Yesterday night, I had to listen to this. I totally donot like hiphop/rap, but it's in my head now.







Oh, another question. Years ago in Dubai I saw a music vid with a female singer (I think she was Egyptian, but not sure). The vid only showed her moving fingers/hands. Now, I am looking for it, but cannot find it. I think it was a hit, and the singer is famous. But donot know her name. Anybody knows what I am talking about? The clip with her fingers/hands? It would be highly appreciated.

They are two different people FD. Kelly is a girl and Nelly is a boy.

Sorry can't help you with your other query.

I have the answer to your Dilemma FD.

Welcome to Nellyville. Give it a few seconds to ger started. Nelly is the one with the plaster and Kelly is the one with the heels. I think you'll like her FD :D

With Shafiques 1960's vibe going on it whisked me back to the days of the Kinks

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, L-L-Lola

Oasis from the city of Manchester. The biggest Man City supporters :D

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how
