Did you Google that Bob?
Tell the truth now.

I only ask seeing as I did.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 03 Aug 2004, 18:07

Your turn for a sig file ECM. I promise not to Google it.

Alex,
Try this for size............................

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 03 Aug 2004, 18:42

Actually, mine isn't that at all. So now you can buy me a pint (well, glass of red wine!). Again.

I was sure I had it.

Do I at least have the song right?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 03 Aug 2004, 18:52

You are the generation who bought more shoes and you get what you deserve

Darn it! Why did I promise not to Google it? It sounds like an advert... Somebody help me

Nope.
Is that the same sing a song as the carpenters sang, BTW?

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 03 Aug 2004, 19:27

Well done Bellybabe. It is, indeed, Johnny Boy.
It's a catchy little number, don't you think?

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 03 Aug 2004, 19:31

NEXT!

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 03 Aug 2004, 19:44

I heard something else of his that sounded very like the Clash, so i was a bit stunned by it!

Um, yeah OK. I think I might have got if I had thought a bit longer, but I'm lazy and Google is just a click away. And in my defence you didn't say I wasn't allowed to at that point.

Bellybabe

your signature sounds like its little Anni with the frizzy hair?

I only have one of hers - the 9/11 monologue that I can't remember the name of 'cos it's in the car only, but the words ring a bell?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 03 Aug 2004, 22:27

Oh, wow, that didn't take long! It is indeed the lovely little Ani. Haven't bought any of hers since before 9/11, though. Although i do have something like ten albums from before that. In fact I'm listening to her right now (although other half will tell you that's not exactly unusual, since I'm something of an addict!). Is the 9/11 thing good? She can be absolutely brilliant but she's also pretty pretentious and a bit far up her own derriere.

well I think so but it probably depends upon which side of the global war against the individual you are looking from - its on a New Internationalist sampler in my car so I dont know where else to find it. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if there is a useful link...

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 03 Aug 2004, 22:49

Well, as an Ani fan it's probably pretty easy to guess which side I'm on.
There are a couple of things she tends to recite rather than sing and I usually like them. Thanks!

Is that allowed?
I mean, i thought that certain things were not appropriate in public places... But i suppose you could do it in private. And it's not been banned yet. Smoking, I mean. Obviously.

Beach Babe's is Louisa May Alcott. Jo says it.

Gedge · Post by **Gedge** » 04 Aug 2004, 12:59

As featured in the superior grafitti thread. Anyone recognise this signature?

Gedge · Post by **Gedge** » 04 Aug 2004, 13:01

Oh no it doesn't seem to have worked!

The signature was supposed to be "She was tall thin and tarty and she drove a Maserati"

I'll have another shot later!

OOOoooh! I know this one... Happy Mondays. I don't know the title but another line in the song is "I only wen't with her mother cause she's dirty".

Do I get my $5?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 04 Aug 2004, 17:21

Oh, isn't that Kinky Afro?
brings back happy memories of going clubbing and not having to know how to dance, just stand in one spot and wobble with your warms out like an aeroplane...
Oh for my Mancunian youth...

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. The worst that you could say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

Sounds like Woody Allen?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 04 Aug 2004, 19:09

Sounds like Woody to me too. I've never heard it before though.

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 04 Aug 2004, 19:19

That obvious, huh?

Yes, it's a line from the end of his film "Love and Death".

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 04 Aug 2004, 22:15

C'mon people. Dat cigar ain't gonna smoke itself innit.

Well, I'm clueless.
I'm off to Google but I won't tell anyone else the answer - honest.
Is it in your folder on soulseek? And is it any good?
Lyrically, it has the makings of a masterpiece.

Gedge · Post by **Gedge** » 05 Aug 2004, 09:43

Alex and Bellybabe - I'm glad that songline brought back so many fond and vivid memories. Unfortunately it comes from a completely different era.

Bellybabe

if you want more up to date Ani words try this link to the 9/11 thing...

http://www.peace-not-war.org/Music/AniD ... index.html

this is a recitation and sounds more from the heart than the backside

this one below is actually my favourite one on the album though:

Hope this isn't causing too much straining of the thread topic....
