I don't know what era that song was from-but I can remember p***in myself laughin when I first heard it,mainly at the way he was singing,and at the lyrics.But the song probably has some deeper meaning to it.....

I remember as well in a shop where I was workin,there was a continuous tape or CD playin,and every time it played the song "Sylvia's Mother" it used to drive me mad!!!

Jesus I hate "Sylvia's mother" - terrible dirge. The other song is "Macarthur Park" and I think it was Richard Harris singing it. Mental lyric all right! (I wonder if it was a hash cake).

Stutter Rap by Morris Minor And The Majors.That guy who went on to write a book about traveling around Ireland with a fridge was involved with that.

"Hey there people won't you lend an ear, I've a story to tell & I'm tellin it here"....what? Nobody else knows the words ?

There were some right stinkers of football songs.Check out the Anfield Rap.

Ralf and Florian · 29-08-2013 09:57AM

And not forgetting Gazza with Fog On The Tyne.

Pass and move, pass and move, it's the Liverpool groove.

Should be "chomp and gnash, it's the Suarez rap"

its not to be taken literally, the lyrics represent love & life

"Don't tell my heart,my achin breakin heart,I just don't think you understand-
That if you tell my heart,my achey breaky heart,it might blow up and kill this man."

I know a lot of people like(d) this song,but back then I couldn't help wondering how the hell it got to number one

Even though twas a for a great cause,I think the songs themselves were awful,including the ones from Band Aid and USA for Africa.

Here's one by the same group on Top Of The Pops,introduced by a DJ who I don't think we'll be seeing on our screens again.

"Life is life,na na nanana...."

I don't know why this keeps happening but whenever I try the link it just keeps sayin "invalid entry" as did with the Self Aid link.Is it something I am doing wrong?

An Riabhach · 17-09-2013 03:44PM

Apologies for going slightly off topic-I just wanna ask about the song "Chinese Boy" (from the late 70s or early 80s).....
There was a story that this song did not become a hit in Japan,because the Japanese hated it and there was a kind of uproar because of it over there; and the woman who sang the song(who was neither Chinese nor Japanese) hit back at them by saying publicly that she would never do a tour in Japan because she thought Japan is too much like China.

Is any of this true,or have I got the whole story completely wrong?

Japanese boy, some info on the stuff you said.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Boy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCH1IlOfDTM

Has some good "pigeon street" synth at the start.

top quote!

Lyrics by what I hear:
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone?
Easy Japanese porn
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese porn
Ooh, I miss my Japanese porn
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh...
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
