Ysgol Glanaethwy: Rhythm Of Life - Last Choir Standing - BBC One

Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean,
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth Daddy,
Spread the picture on a wider screen."
And the voice said, "Brother, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
Hit the road, Daddy, leave your common-law wife.
Spread the religion of The Rhythm Of Life."

And The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom,
Rhythm in the street,
Yes, The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet,

Daddy, spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
Took his walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge,
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go, go, go-ing down below.

Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,

Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Fly, fly, fly to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Swim, swim, swim to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy,

And The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom,
Rhythm in the street,
Yes, The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,

Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Daddy we got The Rhythm Of Life,
Of life, of life, of life.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Man!

Ysgol Glanaethwy: Circle of Life

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]

From the day we arrive on the planet - And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen - More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here - More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high - Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life - And it moves us all
Through despair and hope - Through faith and love
Till we find our place - On the path unwinding
In the Circle - The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life - And it moves us all
Through despair and hope - Through faith and love
Till we find our place - On the path unwinding
In the Circle - The Circle of Life

Ysgol Glanaethwy: Adiemus


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiemus
Adiemus is the title of a series of albums by British composer Karl Jenkins

Each Adiemus album is a collection of song-length pieces featuring harmonised vocal melody against an orchestral background. There are no lyrics as such: instead the vocalists sing syllables and 'words' invented by Jenkins. However, rather than creating musical interest from patterns of phonemes (as in scat singing, or in numerous classical and crossover compositions), the language of Adiemus is carefully stylised so as not to distract the listener's attention from the pitch and timbre of the voice—for example, as in African languages, syllables ending in consonants are rare. The core concept of Adiemus is that the voice should be allowed to function as nothing more than an instrument, an approach that has become something of a trend in recent choral writing (compare, for example Vangelis's score for the film 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992)).

Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon

GOODNIGHT SAIGON Billy Joel
We met as soul mates On parris island
We left as inmates From an asylum
And we were sharp As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho To lay down our lives
We came in spastic Like tameless horses
We left in plastic As numbered corpses
And we learned fast To travel light
Our arms were heavy But our bellies were tight

We had no home front We had no soft soap
They sent us playboy They gave us bob hope
We dug in deep And shot on sight
And prayed to jesus christ With all our might
We had no cameras To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe And played our doors tapes
And it was dark So dark at night
And we held on to each other Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers wed write
And we would all go down together We said wed all go down together Yes we would all go down together

Remember charlie Remember baker
They left their childhood On every acre
And who was wrong? And who was right?
It didnt matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day In the palm Of our hand
They ruled the night And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks On parris island
We held the coastline They held the highlands
And they were sharp As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together We said wed all go down together Yes we would all go down together

The Seekers-Isa Lei (stereo)


Isa Isa vulagi lassa dina
Nomu lako au na rarawa kina
Cava beka ko a mai cakava,
Nomu lako au na sega ni lasa.

Chorus:
Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa,
Ni ki sana vodo e na mataka
Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa,
Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.

Vanua rogo na nomuni vanua,
Kena ca ni levu tu na ua,
Lomaqu voli me'u bau butuka
Tovolea ke balavu na bula.

(Chorus)
Domoni dina na nomu yanuyanu,
Kena kau wale na salusalu,
Mocelolo, bua, na kukuwalu,
Lagakali, maba na rosi damu.

[English Translation]
Isa, Isa you are my only treasure;
Must you leave me, so lonely and foresaken?
As the roses will miss the sun at dawning,
Every moment my heart for you is yearning.

Chorus:
Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling,
Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow;
O, forget not, when you're far away,
Precious moments beside dear Suva.

Isa, Isa, my heart was filled with pleasure,
From the moment I heard your tender greeting;
'Mid the sunshine, we spent the hours together,
Now so swiftly those happy hours are fleeting.

(Chorus)
O'er the ocean your island home is calling,
Happy country where roses bloom in splendour;
O, if I could but journey there beside you,
Then forever my heart would sing in rapture.

James Taylor Whenever I see your Smiling Face
1m 50s mark:-
"No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
whenever you shine that thing my way baby" ;)

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you (Yes, I do)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby (I don't know)

(Chorus)
Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It will grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer

I thought I was in love
A couple of times before
With the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It can grow stronger every day
How much longer

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok

Lol - reminds me - I shouted my mum and stepfather a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya when I was staying in HK. Went to a disco - at about 10.30pm they cleared the dancefloor, - "floor show time". And two kick-boxing girls came out and really went for it !! - a new meaning to the word kick boxing I can tell you :eek:

Or another time , lol - I went with a mate to the Intercontinental in Bangkok - that great old hotel where Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham etc wrote a stack of books etc - he had met a girl who invited him to star in a video commercial for Arrow shirts. I tagged along for fun , and sure enough they were short and I was paid cash to be another of the plebs wearing a Woolworth's shirt. (I think he's still waiting for the cheque to arrive in the mail lol) :rolleyes:

I believe that ad was played in cinemas. Anyway "Mr Arrow" had pins all the way up his back lol - I made a mental note - never trust an Ad lol. :2twocents

Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

[COMPANY] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

[THE AMERICAN] One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

[COMPANY] It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

[THE AMERICAN] Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

[COMPANY] Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

[THE AMERICAN] Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[COMPANY] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

[THE AMERICAN] Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours --

[COMPANY] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei

Romanian song - seemed to do ok in USA and UK (and particularly France) :2twocents
Mi-ia-hii
Mi-ia-hoo
Mi-ia-haa
mi-ia-haha
(x4) (these are just sounds)

Hello, Greetings, it's me an outlaw (haiduc is a part of Romanian folklore)
I call you, my love
To ask you to accept happiness.

Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso
I sent you a beep
But I'm strong
and you should know I'm not asking anything from you

You want to leave me and not take me (nu ma iei means without me, so the basic translation here is you want to leave me behind)
Your face and the love of the linden trees and I remember your eyes.

I call you to ask you how you feel right now
Hello, my love
Accept me, your happiness

Hello, hello, its me again.
I sent you a beep
But I'm strong
and you should know I'm not asking anything from you.

"didn't have a left hand tuned guitar handy, so he took a right hand one, and learnt to play it upside down ". :eek:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertai...s-to-the-future/2008/12/29/1230399113151.html

Kicking off the formalities will be an "Acknowledgment of Country", welcoming spectators with a traditional smoking ritual while singer-songwriter Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu performs.

"I know I will probably shed a tear because one of the things that's happening, the Acknowledgment of Country, will touch me because that's a really special thing," Roberts says. "Showing all sectors of our community celebrating together is really quite important for me."

Roberts, who has worked with a creative team of seven people over the past 15 months, says this year is about the future. "Looking at what's happened before, where we're going as a nation, all sorts of things come into play and I think [this year] everybody's looking at where they are, whether as an individual, a nation [or] in their own relationships," she says
