Songs that sum up life?

**roo** · 06-01-2004, 16:39

We always see "what is the best song of all time?" polls (which bohemian rhapsody alaws seems to win) so what is everyones favourite song which sums up life in general like....

Alway look on the bright side of life - Eric Idle
Ironic - Alanis Morrisette
Cardiac Arrest - Madness (tells you to slow dowm)
and one for Dynamic Denis..
One foot in the grave - Eric Idle (yes it was released as a christmas disco song a few years ago so it counts)

Tavia4x4 · 06-01-2004, 16:46

Don't know about "summing up life" but certain moments need certain songs... seasons perhaps (in life or actual)

Spring, time for renewel, Metallica - Nothing else matters
Summers day, life is good, Will Smith - Summertime.
Autumn, times are changing, Justin Hayward - Forever Autumn (what else?

)
Winter, feeling down, Alice Cooper - Might as well be on Mars.

**roo** · 06-01-2004, 16:59

another one is
You'll never walk alone. even if it has been hijacked by a load of scousers.

Or Michael Jacksons song about how much he loved his chimp - I'm forever blowing bubbles.

**roo** · 06-01-2004, 21:17

Alright then, what about new versions of songs you have heard?

Always look on the runway for ice ( sung at man u fans) - always look on the bright side of life

or to the tune of you'll never walk alone and sung at Scousers in football grounds....

Sign on, Sign on
With a pen in your hand
'cause you'll never get a job

or
Chim chiminy, chim chiminy
chim chim cheroo
we hate those barstewards in claret & blue (sung at west ham fans)

any more to carry the gauntlet?

The Winkers Song (Misprint) - Ivor Biggun and the Red Nosed burglars
If you dont wanta F*ck, F*ck off - Electric Chairs

Just says it all for me.

mellowyellow · 06-01-2004, 23:56

Ah Iver Biggun and his red nosed burglars , I remember it well

I've winked over Italy
I've winked over Spain
I've winked in an omnibus
and I've even had a wink on a train !

If it's got to be done, then is got to be done properly - edited, just in case of young ones.

The Winker's Song (misprint)
By Ivor Biggun
The Winker's Album (1978)

My mother said that I never should
play with the naughty, rude girls in the wood.
Their giggling talk I could never understand,
and that's why I fell in love with my right hand.

And that's why
(Chorus)
I'm a winker, I'm a winker.
and it does me good like it bloody well should.
I'm a winker, I'm a winker
and I'm always pulling my pud'.

I was twenty-five years old before I was kissed,
and then I found that I preferred a swift one off the wrist.
It's cheap and convenient, you can't catch VD.
It's available at any time and it's absolutely free.

And that's why
(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, Mrs Palm and your five lovely daughters,
thank you for having me and being oh, so kind.
I've got pains in my arms and my dong is growing shorter,
My knees have turned to water, and I think I'm going blind.

I've winked over Italy, I've winked over Spain.
I've winked in an omnibus, I've even had a wink in a train.
I've used a badger and a melon and a cat,
an inflatable Linda Lovelace, and a Davy Crockett hat.

And that's why
(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, Mrs Palm and your five lovely daughters,
Thank you for having me and being oh, so kind.
I've got pains in my arms and my dong is getting shorter,
My knees have turned to water, and I think I'm going blind.

**roo** · 07-01-2004, 09:59

It's a charming ditty, that i know very well.

I hear a certain file sharing network has copies on it.

redbaron · 07-01-2004, 12:01

Dont forget the most important life song...

"girls and boys" by good charlotte....

"girls dont like boys girls like cars and money......"
"the girls with the bodies...like boys with ferrari....."

although i have always been partial to "tragedy" and some Everly Brothers..

"she's lost that lovin ffelan" or "tragedy when the ffelan's gone and you cant go on"

**roo** · 07-01-2004, 12:12

what about "ffelans hot, hot, hot!"
sung by little girls when they see your tvr.

**JaneC** · 07-01-2004, 13:18

Now now children. Play nicely.

:smileyrai

redbaron · 07-01-2004, 13:22

We are playing nicely... no skinned knees... no fisticuffs.

Anyway we all know that Robs fave song is the cheeky song....

"touch my bum..."

You've managed to pick two of my all-time best tracks. Well done

Newbie here by the way... brilliant forums

Tavia4x4 · 07-01-2004, 15:38

Welcome on board - especially someone that has taste

***ncarring*** · 07-01-2004, 15:41

Welcome indeed!

(Much as I love War of the Worlds, I have to say I think Justin Hayward is the weak link in the lineup, even though Forever Autumn was a big hit. It always seemed a bit lightweight to me compared with some of the other bits)

Tavia4x4 · 07-01-2004, 15:44

never remember it as a hit, guess I'm too young, but forever autumn always stood out to me in W of the W, so can't be too weak...

(no nathanial no...

)

spinndrift · 07-01-2004, 18:40

I've heard the new Spinndrift tracks are quite good, Especially 'Telling the World'.

Got the best of Chilli Peppers for crimbo - great for driving along to.

Tavia4x4 · 08-01-2004, 10:10

RHCP are a mixed bag, Sandra is a big fan, I tend to like their calmer stuff - road trippin etc is nice for driving at night...

(and it's not just that I'm getting old!!

)

Time for my medication!

redbaron · 08-01-2004, 10:46

well this morning the songs that sum up my life:-

"the drugs dont work" the verve..

or prob better one on so many levels.. Dido "Thankyou"

"My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad "

dont you just love Dido....

**roo** · 08-01-2004, 11:11

Dido is good chillout music. Haven't really heard her new albumn yet though.

Tavia4x4 · 08-01-2004, 11:13

Dido is one of those artists you really like at first, then you get used to it and it's ok, then you get fed up of it and wish you were not listening to it for the 3000'th time.

Overexposure is never a good thing.
