What song are you listening to right now?

[sapator]

Except that you murdered it.
It's spelled Oxymoron.

Hello !

[dilettante]

When I first glimpsed the still image for that last one I thought "Oh no, somebody found a lost Carl Sagan singing audition!"

Whew. That could have been worse than hearing William Shatner sing.

IT is Greek to me

[dilettante]

This one ramps up to a "metal" pitch that will have your heart pounding:

[jg.sa]

Something not Punk or Reggae ( Lovers Rock or Reg Groove ) my usual shuffle



Is this throat singing ?

[dilettante]

Who else remembers this classic night cruising tune from back in the day when public beaches were open 24x7 and bonfires were still a thing?

[dilettante]

Another "oldie" by the standard of today:

Your public beaches close? How do they close them?

[dilettante]

Cops or roving gangs of vigilante Karens.

G'Day JPBro

Your public beaches close? How do they close them?

Good question well ask

Countries like our wouldn't have enough Police Officer to "patrol" all of the closed beaches.

[dilettante]

How about this Japanese song written in Russian about a European family in a parallel universe?

[jpbro]

Cops or roving gangs of vigilante Karens.

Ahh, I forgot about the vigilante Karens.

Fortunately we don't have too many of them here per capita. Public beaches can be visited all night, though they may "officially" close. Bonfires would likely get you in trouble, but a small fire would be unlikely to be a problem.

LOL! I wish the best of luck to anyone who attempts to close public beaches down under for any extended period.

It might be a little too gothy-dark for some here but there is a good riff when you get to it.

In the UK the beaches and coastline in general (not exclusively 60-90%) are owned by the Crown and other Crown actors and access to all is a given, you might be sharing some of that with missiles and tank shells so it is best to check beforehand

[dilettante]

Who remembers the cold and lonely story of "Midnight Cowboy?"

[yereverluvinuncleber]

It's spelled Oxymoron.

No, he meant Ozzy Osbourne.

[FunkyDexter]

No, he meant Ozzy Osbourne.

You're just being paranoid

That's just crazy train talk..

Here is an... unusual singing group:

Who would have thought, that an Iron Maiden-Song could be played in "chilled" Style?
Absolutely brilliant

I wonder if the West can see Chinese Weibo videos? (Because Weibo will automatically block access from other websites)

Nightmare fuel even before you try to make sense of the lyrics.

Anyone remember those weird novelty songs from the days before Weird Al?

[dilettante]

[dilettante]

[dilettante]

Folk rock crossover from 1972. It went gold and got airplay on both rock and country radio stations and was covered by numerous artists.

Today I suspect that to most ears it comes across as purely country though.



Funniest line in it today:

You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three

Seems like most people that age now would be hard to convince. Scary how many are trying to start having kids at 40 now and are running into fertility issues. Maybe we're on the brink of a dystopian "Children Of Men" scenario?

LOL I immediately remembered this post from a science fiction forum:

I've got a new cube critter that has moved in next door, and she plays top 40 "country" music most of the time.

I like a lot of genres of country music, especially classic country music, stuff older than I am.

But I'm slowly being driven insane by the barrage of redneck clichés and double negatives and cheesy metal guitar riffs and intentionally nasal, whiny accents emanating from her radio.

I would think educated persons would get a bit embarrassed trying so hard to sound so dim. Some of this top 40 "written to emotionally appeal to the women" overproduced stuff is pretty brutal overkill.

Found a cover in English that seems to have similar voices to those of the original artists.
