    Personally, I'm not capable of being on the computer without having music in the background. Usually I just have my giant mp3 list on shuffle.

    This thread is for me and people like me, who are listening to a song and just feel like quoting a line for no reason. I won't even say what song it is because it doesn't matter.

    You can add songs of your own, you can ignore this and let me post alone, you can reply to what I write, you can ask about the songs, you can punch me in my virtual face (but I'd prefer it if you didn't). I don't really care, because I'm happy as long as I've got my tunes!


    So let's start with a little...

    "So what, so I've got a smile on... But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head.
    Don't believe me - don't believe me - don't believe me...
    When I say I've
    got it
    down..."

    Oh, thank you, Op. But I don't listen to music when I'm surfing on the net. Actually, I hardly ever listen to music.

    Nice one... But I'm ignorant regarding to music... whose song is this quote from, Op?

    It's from Priscilla Ahn's "Astronaut". I don't think anyone would know this song. I just think that verse is funny.

    I don't listen to music unless I'm listening. to. music. As a musician, I find "background" music too distracting.

    So I'll quote from the songs in my head. :bigsmile:

    But just now I've got some godawful Bee Gees song cycling around; I won't put you through that.

    I wasn't going to mention it, because I'm sure no one gives a rat's arse since this is the John Cleese forum instead of a guitar forum, but since there is already a thread with a music related title I may as well go ahead and say that my new guitar has arrived.





    I wonder what the odds are that I could track Eric Idle down and get him to autograph it for me? Snowball's chance in hell? Slightly less?

    okay song excerpt, "when he used to play, people used to say, sounds a little goofus to me...."
  13.  
    hold up, those aren't the exact right words. It's been so long since I've heard that song. It's something you do the Charleston to. from the 20's. Called "Goofus".

    I really like the melody and that little line "sounds a little goofus to me!"

    Thanks Fan! No idea what song you're talking about, though.


    Possum,
    Here's my musical quote. No one will know what song it's from

    ".. it was sort of a privacy place when he'd go there nobody could find him,
    humiliation was immanent he'd rather die than be sent back to England.."
  15.  
    Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave
    On the northern tip of the island
    It was sort of a privacy place
    When he'd go there nobody could find him
    Humiliation was imminent
    He'd rather die than be sent back to England
    From this height he'd conduct his last fight
    Should a ship be sent in to pursue them

    Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave, and he'd go there to be alone

    Up a narrow and dangerous path to his mountainside cavern obsession
    He'd paint a picture, he'd comb his hair
    Anything to relieve his depression
    "Let history witness my honor is tossed
    And my men are all lost by extension."

    Fletcher Christian, he'd go to his cave when he needed to be alone
    In a cage in a cave
    In a cage in a cave

    Oh, it's next to the water
    Oh yeah, he's Thursday's father
    Guess what his defense is?
    He's built himself a barricade of logs

    Sick of the backbiting
    And all the in-fighting
    Each sailor, he wants his own way
    If the island is his kingdom
    Where is all his freedom?
    Tahitian women are not all they say

    To fits of melancholy, he was increasingly prone
    In thinking back on what he'd done, he should have known
    That left to their own devices
    This kind of rabble would kill for a wife and
    He knew why Captain Bligh had gone off the deep end
    When they'd sent him back home

    Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave and he'd go there to be alone
    In a cage in a cave
    In a cage in a cave
    In a cage in a cave
    -----

    took me a couple of seconds to google it and it's Cave In A Cage - Rasputina
  16.  
    Must be about Mutiny on the Bounty. I liked that movie.

    "And then one day Marlon Brando who played Fletcher Christian
    went out to eat and had way too much chicken
    a handsome man he is and quite the actor
    and then the godfather became his benefactor
    In a rage in a tirade
    In a rage in a tirade"

    "It's very late and I am sitting here on the forum
    I'm thinking maybe I should look up some genealogy from boredom
    But maybe I don't care right now who I'm kin to
    My biggest concern s where is that last can of cherry coca cola
    l-o-l-a lola
    wait, that's another song
    In a cage in a cave
    In a cage in Finnigan's cave
    On Gilligan's Island.....
    On the Isle of Iola
    l-o-l-a lola...."


    actually that was a cool song you chose, MacNerd. I must hear the melody.
  17.  
    Hmmm... Here it is -

    Resputina - Cage In A Cave

    Very cool - I like it! Thanks Mac.


    "We're gonna pick-pick-pick it apart
    Open it up to find a tick-tick-tick of a heart..."


    ("Heart, Broken" - from the musical commentary "Commentary! The Musical" for "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog", by Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayers and Firefly, one of my favorite writers/directors in the entire world. It truly is all a work of art, hysterically funny and very touching. I'll tell you more about it later if anyone cares.)
  18.  
    Oh, and she's a beauty Mac!! Do you name your guits?


    "So baby hold me, like you don't wanna let go
    I'm feelin' foxy, 'cause boy you workin' it out
    Daddy you given me a taste of your honey
    I want the whole bee hive
    I'm gonna call you my sugar
    Cause I had the sweetest tiiiime..."

    (Work It Out / Beyonce)

    There's a line there that goes "Child, blow your horn now!", and when I forst heard it I was horrified because I thought it was "Dance for your whore now!" :confused:
  19.  
    I really want to post one as well,
    but I only have Hebrew songs going through my head right now...

    "She said 'Baby, you're my river'
    I said 'No, hon. I'm your drain'
    She said 'Baby, you're my color'
    I said 'No, babe. I'm your stain'

    I said 'Baby, you're my diamond'
    She said 'No, babe, just your pick'
    I said ' Baby, you are magic'
    She said 'No, I'm just a trick'

    Okay...this is what's been running through my head since seeing "Night at the Museum":

    I am a man with an ordinary head.
    I am a man with a typical life.
    I am a man with an ordinary job.
    I am a man with a typical wife

    I saw a postcard.
    It was mailed out to me.
    It had a picture of
    How I want my life to be.

    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want a big strong forehead.
    I want to stand up tall.
    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want to stare at the seaside and do nothing at all!

    I am a man of unassuming stature.
    I am a man of conventional ways.
    I am a man of mediocre intellect.
    I am a man of uneventful days,

    But I saw a travelogue.
    It was mailed out to me.
    It had a picture of
    How I want my life to be.

    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want a three ton nosejob.
    I want to stand up tall.
    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want to stare at the seaside and do nothing at all!

    I want to be rock hard.
    I want to be stone.
    I want to be mysterious,
    And always left alone.

    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.

    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want prominent features.
    I want to stand up tall.
    I want a head like the heads you see on Easter Island.
    I want to stare at the seaside and do nothing-

    Fan said: took me a couple of seconds to google it and it's Cave In A Cage - Rasputina
    Doh! Didn't occur to me that their lyrics would be online because they're not big stars really. I guess the mainstream music industry is not ready for a rock-n-roll cellist.

    Fan said:Must be about Mutiny on the Bounty. I liked that movie....
    actually that was a cool song you chose, MacNerd. I must hear the melody.
    Yup, that's what it's about. All of Rasputina's songs kick mucho behind.




    Possum said: Very cool - I like it! Thanks Mac.
    Unfortunately they never made an official music video of Cage in a Cave, so the only videos on youtube of it are live performances, so the audio usually sucks. Here's a different song of theirs that I like just as much, in official video format so as to have good audio. The Olde Headboard

    Yes. That's "Ruby". My other two are Morgan and Marilyn.

    Fooey, YouTube disabled embedding on the vid, so you'll have to click the title underneath. Or listen to this one instead:

    This one is a fan-made vid, but the audio quality is good.

    Oh, Marilyn's gorgeous... No offense to the others, but she really caught my eye.

    I liked Rats too, but not as much as Cage In A Cave.

    I just remembered there was a thread just like this in Spiny Norman's Britcom forum. I guess I'm not so original after all. oh well.

    The Elevator Song - very old (1940's) risque party record:

    In a rickety old building
    there's a charming old man
    who runs the elevator there
    One day there stepped
    onto his lift
    a maiden sweet and fair
    she said take me to the top floor please
    he tried but the thing wouldn't budge
    once more the little old man tried
    then he turned to the maiden and sighed


    I can't get it up anymore
    it hasn't got the pep it had before
    once it gave such satisfaction
    but madam too much use has put it out of action
    it's been going up and down now for years
    it's had lots of wear and tear on the gears
    so there's no use to ring
    I can't budge this darn thing
    I just can't get it up anymore

    once it was young
    it worked like a charm
    needed no extra persuasion
    it had plenty of zip
    and it sure was a pip
    it would just rise for any occasion
    once it was young
    it rose to the touch
    needed no pinching and poking
    but now it has gone the way of all flesh
    looks like the gimmick is broken

    I can't get it up anymore
    the lever doesn't function like before
    it was such a sturdy lever
    but madam never can a lever last forever
    it once was the best in the town
    but now it won't rise it stays down
  43.  
    lol :) Very appropriate.

    Another moldy oldy by Benny Bell, but it always makes me laugh:

    I have a sad story to tell you.
    It may hurt your feelings a bit.
    last night, when I walked in my bathroom,
    I stepped in a big pile of...
    Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
    Shave every day, and you'll always look keen.

    I think I'll break up with my girlfriend.
    Her antics are queer, I'll admit.
    Each time I say "Darling, I love you,"
    She tells me that I'm full of...
    Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
    Shave every day, and you'll always look keen.

    A baby fell out of the window.
    You'd think that her head would be split.
    But good luck was with her that morning.
    She fell in a barrel of...
    Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
    Shave every day, and you'll always look keen.

    When I was in France with the Army,
    One day I looked into my kit.
    I thought I would find me a sandwich,
    But the darn thing was loaded with...
    Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
    Shave every day, and you'll always look keen.

    And now, folks, my story is ended.
    I think it is time I should quit.
    If any of you feel offended,
    Stick your head in a barrel of...
    Shaving cream, be nice and clean!
    Shave every day, and you'll always look keen.
  45.  
    whoa, mrsthing. I was listening to that last night! But it wasn't by Benny, it was by someone else...but that's the exact song.

    In each and every kiss
    You would know what I'm talking 'bout
    If you ever had a lo-ve like this

    'Cause God knows it's a natural fact
    Good things come in small packages yes
    You got to agree with that..."

    There's a version of "Shaving Cream" by a men's chorus that's really funny, but I can't find it. I only have a very bad recording of Benny singing it. The men's chorus really drags out the SHHHHHHHHAVING so you think for all the world they're going to just come out and say "shit".

    Yeah! That's the one I'm thinking of. Hold up, and I'll give you the name of the group. That's the one I was listening to last night.
