Bad Song Friday

Bill sent this along, but I didn't know what it was off the top of my head. It took viewing this video to bring all the horror back.



Bangkok, oriental setting
The city don't know what the city is getting
The creme-de-la-creme of the chess world in a show with everything but
Yule Brenner


Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the ________ had the chess boys in it
All change, don't you know that when you
Play at this level it's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings, or... or this place


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 cluster
And if your lucky than the God's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me


One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
(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)
What do you mean, you've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town....
(___________________)
Get tied, you're talking to a tourist whose every move's among the
purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine


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 to careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me


Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a muddy old river
Or a 'clining 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 Queen's wheels would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors


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 cluster
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 crumble
Can't be to careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

In honor of the episode of The Office that I watched the other night, here's a song that may not be "bad" per se, but certainly gets stuck in your head and refuses to leave. It's like a tick.

Here's the video from the Office episode that put me onto it:


Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought to stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!

So I cry, and I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me

So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could do have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me

So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Love me love me
I know that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

I can't help piling on. After hearing this stupid vibraphone tune so many times this week, and singing it under my breath for most of that time, I believe it most definitely qualifies for BSF greatness. Also, I have a video you're not going to believe to go after it, so be sure to scroll down past the lyrics for that. Also also, who knew this song had so many fucking lyrics? Jesus.


(It's Britney, bitch)
(I see you, and I just wanna dance with you)

Everytime they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you
You got public display of affection
Feel's like no one else in the room (but you)

We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (We'll keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')

Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (They keep watchin')
Keep watchin
Feels like the crowd is saying

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more

A center of attention (Can you feel that?)
Even when they're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position (Yeah)
If you're on a mission (Uh-uh)
You got my permission (Oh)

We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin', rockin' (Oh ah ha)

Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (Wait)
Keep watchin
(Feel's like the crowd is saying)

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
[Gimme More lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more

(I just can't control myself, oh)
(They want more? Well I'll give'em more, oh!)

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more (Gimme more)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more (Ooh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more (Gimme more, oh yeah)
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more

Ohh, gimme more, gimme more (More)
Gimme more, gimme more baby
I just wanna more

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme
Gimme
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme
Gimme (Ooh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme
Gimme
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme
Gimme (Ooh)
Gimme gimme

Bet you didn't see this one coming
The incredible Lygo
The lengendary Miss Britney Spears, haha
And the unstoppable Danja
Ha, you gonna have to remove me
Cause I ain't goin' no where, haha
(More)



I realize this guy is like an actor or performance artist, but just watch it for what it's worth. Bahahaha, I'm still laughing.

From Bill: "This guy is a giant fatty triangle."

I thought that was a woman who sang that. So I guess in a way we're both right.

Today's video is a keeper. In honor of the upcoming Bionic Woman series, here's Jamie Sommers singing Bill's song. Check out the happenin' audience at the end, and Jamie's weird 70's Eckankar outfit.


Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl
You'll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my heart

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my life

Feelings, woo-o-o feeling it,
woo-o-o, feeling again in my arms
Feelings

Dr. Jeff sent another entry for today, nearly as insidious as the last one:

"When I'm thinking homicidal thoughts during a Michael Jackson song, he's usually singing with his good buddy Paul McCartney.

'Ebony and Ivory... living together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard... oh, lord... why don't we!!!!!!'

You are all welcome. Happy weekend... good luck drinking that tune out of your head."


Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why don't we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?

Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh

We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in everyone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive.

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?

Ebony, ivory living in perfect harmony (repeat and fade)

After taking a week off to go see the best band in the best venue on Earth, we're back with a song so insipid, so frighteningly bad, that I fear to actually post it. To make up for the damage we're doing to your psyche, I found this kick ass cover of the song by a bunch of Swiss punks. It's still bad, but at least it's campy bad instead of bleeding ears bad:


There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
