http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aBAMnIUi8Y Sade - Cherish The Day ;)
she's using her hips - but ... it's 80% song and 20% hips
whereas shakira's "hips don't lie" is 80% hips and ... i forget the rest ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfXLEeBwcmE

i guess it depends on what the purpose of the song is .
but dont expect me to get up at karioki and sing this one :)
hula dancing was bad enough.

like the one about the oldies (generation X) around the piano at retirement home singing "F*** you I wont do what you tell me!, F*** you I won't etc etc "

Ive already posted a few leonard cohen on lyrics thread,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSWgnSE8A-I take this waltz leonard cohen

no doubt about him - great for a quiet mediation with REAL lyrics lol

:2twocents If you'll excuse a comment from the peanut gallery but.. Can I encourage people to use youtube , maybe post a link to what they're referring to - for instance you get a heap of extra info.. eg re "take this waltz", you find comments:-

"Yes, the lyrics are from a poem by Lorca "Pequeño vals vienés" from Poeta en Nueva York. Beatiful lyrics, beatiful music.
.......
Yeah, the ending would be appreciated. I didn't know Garcia Lorca had anything to do with this song. It's my favorite "Leonard" song except for my other favorites
........
There's something about this song that makes me think of death, but I absolutely love it.
.......
It was from a concert in Denmark. Brilliant clip, pity it was cut short.
.......
Cohen is unique. His lyrics carry tremendous meaning and his music is melodic and deep. Cheers to you, Mr. Cohen. " :2twocents
I couldn't agree more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pA5UhNaYw0&NR dance me to the end of love
the other thing these videos do is give you extra tips about what the author (in cohen's case at least) was thinking about :2twocents
- although maybe you need a bit of petrol handy to sniff to make sense of many of his songs

(compare that single shot of the girl's naked waist at end of "dance me to end of love" to all of shakira's gyrations - one so classy, one arguably pretty cheap imo - depends how many beers Ive had - and not that i'd argue in reality ;))

I would love to refer to youtube etc. but 1.)its full of virus's...and 2.) i just got the internet back after a month of only being able to view some webpages....its not that great and too slow to even view youtube. Maybe when they fix the other five undersea cables!

Cheers,
 
;) - cheers canaus
I'll post em if I see em - assuming youre not offended.
I thought I had a virus the other day - but did a scan with new virus checker - n probs - and no probs since. Maybe too many firewalls (suspect I had 2 of hub, microsoft, and/or pccillin ;))
 
No worries 20/20, keep them coming, once i get my home PC i'll check them out more.

Cheers,
 
just a note - all pretty obvious - but when you play a song on youtube, you can pause the playback (hockey stix turn to triangle) and let the red "download" line get a bit ahead , even to the end if you wish - and only then play the thing (without the constant pauses). :2twocents

by the way - you'll find my sense of music has a pretty high "2CH factor" - if you can understand that reference. i.e. oldies radio channel in Sydney ;)

gr8 stuff wayne ..
what happened to the old saying ... "its not over till the fat lady nails on the horny helmet" - half of em use real nails I'm told - but you seem to be able to find some real beauties. (beauty lies in the eyes of the beerholder - especially happy hour on Friday nights) :)

speaking of "song to the moon", my dog has a beaut version as well. :2twocents

here's one with a point to it ..
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ksgLLoFn5ok
tusk, fleetwood mac
Fleetwood Mac & The USC Marching Band ~ Tusk (across the decades). The "Tusk" is slang for penis, so the song is basically about sex. When Stevie Nicks heard the album was going to be called Tusk, she threatened to quit. Mick Fleetwood really wanted to use the title, so he ignored her and she dropped the subject.
The music was based on a riff the band used to play when they were introduced at concerts.
The University of Southern California marching band played on this. Mick Fleetwood decided to use a big brass sound after a visit to Europe in 1978 where he saw brass bands marching down the street. The band thought it would be a good idea to hire a band to play their intro music at concerts, and this idea developed into the USC band recording this at Dodger Stadium. (thanks, Jim - Oxnard, CA)
In 1977, Fleetwood Mac released Rumours, which was one of the most successful albums ever. Tusk was the follow-up, but the band (especially Lindsey Buckingham), decided to experiment instead of copying the sound of Rumours. The result was some very adventurous songs, but fewer album sales. Lindsay Buckingham recorded some of the vocals in his bathroom. .
