What are you listening to (and discuss it).

<< < (25/775) > >>

KharBevNor:
If it has 'Sex And Drugs and Rock and Roll', 'Billericay Dicky', 'Reasons to be Cheerful' and 'There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards' on it, then yes, yes it is.

Actually, it just is anyway. Ian Dury is criminally under-rated.

And because I'm back on the track

Ian Dury and the Blockheads - There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards

Noel Coward was a charmer.
As a writer he was drama.
Velvet, jackets and pyjamas,
The gay divorce and other dramas.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers.
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Einstein can't be classed as witless.
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splittemness,
Frighten everybody shitless.

There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Probably got help from their mum
(who had help from her mum).
There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Now that we've had some,
let's hope that there's lots more to come.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Okey-dokey!
Oh!
Segovia.
Da-laa la-laa da-daa da-lee
De dump di dump de dump-dump-diddle lum-lee.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever........

best single of the year.  I just keep listening to it over and over again

Yeah, that's pretty incredible, but not particularly sold on the album.  I guess that's par for the course, though, it's not an album genre.

Strangely more so among rock fans than dance heads.  Spasticus Autisticus is one of those big Ibiza hits of yesteryear, back when that meant something that was a bit weird in a club setting...  On the first volume of the Disco Not Disco compilations.

Edit: I'm listening to the untitled closing track on the new Icy Demons album, Tears of A Clone.  A homemade keyboard plays the 'Chariots of Fire' theme before a single bass guitar note is plucked and a really leaden beat starts plodding away.  Then there's this weird chant "I can't find my pizza / Goddamn I'm heavy / I can't see my penis / Where the hell is Lisa? / Dreaming 'bout the cheese steaks / That they got in Philly / But I'm in Chicago / Goddamn I'm hungry" ... and on it goes... what the fuck is going on?  Makes me laugh out loud, so that's all good.

KharBevNor:
Actually, yeah, I can definitely see that.

What song was it that Ian Dury did on top of the pops? I remember his dance being amazing.

Still listening to Ian Dury.

Now it's Billaricay Dicky.
