Nice one MJ. :clap :clap

I'll need to borrow TGN's drumsticks for this one.....1,2,3,4

In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich,
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me slowly, hit me quick.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro.

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut! C'est fantastique!
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
It's nice to be a lunatic.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fe
Over hills and far away

Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me! Hit me!
C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht?
Hit me! hit me! hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick.
Two fat persons, click, click, click.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me! Ow!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me! hit me!

I'm Dyer'ere, you know
I'm Otis pleased to meet you
I'm Crystal, hello
Marella
I'm Ready, how are you doing Cass?
My name is TGN
And I'm TC… and … guess what?

Oi!

I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late.
I wanna confirm, I wanna conform
I wanna be safe and I wanna be snug and I wanna be warm

I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I wanna create a place of my own in the welfare state
Brr, gonna be good, brr, gonna be kind
It might be a wrench but think of the stench I'm leaving behind

I want to be straight, I want to be straight
Come out of the cold and do what I'm told and don't deviate
I wanna give, I wanna give, I wanna give my consent
I'm learning to hate all the things that were great when I used to be… bent!

Could be not straightness
dum dum dilley
Might lead to greatness
dur yuh dum der
Owing to lateness
My chance has only just arrived, ha

ow! Straight, straight, straight, straight
Straight, straight, straight, straight
Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight

I want to be straight, I want to be straight
I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late
I know that you're right, I know I was wrong
So thanks very much, please keep in touch, I'll be rhyming along

I want to be straight
I want to be straight
I want to be straight
I want to be straight
I want to be straight
I want to be straight...

 

[marella jube]

Guys,wind & smoke machines at the ready please..

Take it away,Roger

I did not know what you were about
Something called "love" made me want to find out
Did not think you could ever care
But I'm outta control 'cause you're takin' me there
I couldn't believe our love would last
It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster
Get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love

Get used to it, don' t let me down
You pulled me in, so don't turn me around
You didn't hesitate and told me just how you feel
There ain't no mistake, this time it's for real
I didn't believe our love would last
It's comin' on stronger, comin' on so much faster
Get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love, please

I'll be around you
Because I'm crazy about you
I'll be around you, baby
You know I can't live without you
I'll be around ya, baby
Because I'm hungry for your love

So you better get used to it
'Cause I'll be around
Yeah, ya better get used to
All my love, please
Ya better get used to
All my love, baby
Ya better get used...
To our love

 

[Tigerclan]

Cough cough cough Otis he's finished

Turn off the bloody smoke machine will ya?

 

[Otis]

Ja mon.. but after me is finished this song, mon.


There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why

Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all have to face reality now
'Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask
'Though I know it's impossible to go livin' through the past
Don't tell no lie

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air

This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now you will hear
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air

 

[FightingFury]

Roger Vadouris and Ian Dury on this karaoke machine makes it a one of a kind machine surely.

Can I request Limahl from some one please??

 

[marella jube]

Will 'Too Shy' do,Struggs ?

Tongue tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, I'm not naive you must be strong
Ooh baby try

Hey girl
Move a little closer Coz you're,

CHORUS:

Ttoo shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy hush hush eye to eye
Too shy hush hush


Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Try a little harder
You're moving in circles won't you dilate
Ooh baby try

Hey girl
Move a little closer

Fabulous work Jube,masterful.
How you got your peroxided hair to sit up like a crows nest was very worty as well.

PS Did Limahl look like Warwick Cappers illegitimate twin or was it my imagination??

 

[Crystal]

Ok cats... I'm in my little white US fighter pilot outfit, TC you can be "Goose" my wingman and bend down as I pop up behind you with the mike and dedicate this song to one very good looking cat......Evo. ;D

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.

So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

Baby (baby), baby (baby
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo...

PS Did Limahl look like Warwick Cappers illegitimate twin or was it my imagination??

Good get , Struggs ...Funny,think that's what Limahl says 'bout Warwick too...Never seen in the same place together,perhaps they're 1 in the same....  

Wow  Crystal ! ....As Kenny Everett used to say ..."Kind of gets you right 'there'...or was it 'there' ?"..

Hard to top so lets veer back towards the Ian Dury end of the dial...

The Indians send signals  
From the rocks above the pass  
The cowboys take positions  
In the bushes and the grass  
The squaw is with the Corporal  
She is tied against the tree  
She doesn't mind the language  
It's the beating she don't need  
She lets loose all the horses  
When the Corporal is asleep  
And he wakes to find the fire's dead  
And arrows in his hats  
And Davy Crockett rides around  
And says it's cool for cats  
The Sweeney's doing ninety  
'Cos they've got the word to go  
They get a gang of villains  
In a shed up at Heathrow  
They're counting out the fivers  
When the handcuffs lock again  
In and out of Wandsworth  
With the numbers on their names  
It's funny how their missus'  
Always look the bleeding same  
And meanwhile at the station  
There's a couple of likely lads  
Who swear like how's your father  
And they're very cool for cats  
They're cool for cats  

To change the mood a little  
I've been posing down the pub  
On seeing my reflection  
I'm looking slightly rough  
I fancy this, I fancy that  
I wanna be so flash  
I give a little muscle  
And I spend a little cash  
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash  
And by the time I'm sober  
I've forgotten what I've had  
And ev'rybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat  
Cool for cats  

Shake up at the disco  
And I think I've got a pull  
I ask her lots of questions  
And she hangs on to the wall  
I kiss her for the first time  
And then I take her home  
I'm invited in for coffee  
And I give the dog a bone  
She likes to go to discos  
But she's never on her own  
I said I'll see you later  
And I give her some old chat  
But it's not like that on the TV  
When it's cool for cats  
It's cool for cats

 

[Dyer'ere]

I gottsta do one now. Really a song this time.

I'm going to do the forties pinstripe suit with gleaming white Dunlop Volleys.

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I ain't forgotten

When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be

We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The Railway Arms we're missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday

I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her

This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction

Up the Junction- UK Squeeze
http://www.codehot.co.uk/lyrics/qrst/squeeze/upthejunction.htm
Here's a sample if you don't know the tune. (Oh very funny, like you wouldn't recognise it from my singing. ;D)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000007424/026-7889092-5271621

I was making rythmic uncoordinated movements during my rendition, sometimes called 80s "spasms".

 

[marella jube]

Bravo JD ! :clap

Emotions seem a little raw....How 'bout this...

Thirty days in the county jail
Let me out and I just wanted to wail
Some fool tried to hold me down
I got drunk and I ripped up the town

I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Well I...I went around just to see my chick
I found her room and it was candle lit
She's makin' love to another man
I shot 'em both and they locked me in the slam

I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Mmm bad...so bad

Well I...I heard the the word there was a local break
It was a chance I just had to take
I jumped the wall and I was on the run
They came after me with a thousand guns

'Cause I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love
Yeah I'm a bad boy...a bad boy for love

Honey I'm bad...thirty years mama
In the county jail...

 

[Otis]

some great songs , keem em coming mj, crystal, dyer'ere...

what is karaoke without a little Thin Lizzy?

I am just a cowboy
lonesome on the trail
the stary night, the camp fire night

The coyote call,
and howlin winds wail
so i'll ride out,
to the old sundown

I am just a cowboy,
lonesome on the trail
lord im just thinking bout a certain female...

The nights we spent together,
riding on the range
looking back it seems so strange

Roll me over and turn me around,
let me keep spinnng till i hit the ground
roll me over and let me go,
ride me in the rodeo

I was took in texas,
i did not know her name
lord all these southern girls they seem the same!

down below the border,
in a town in mexico
i got my job bustin bronco's for the rodeo

Roll me over and turn me around,
let me keep spinning till i hit the ground
roll me over and le tme go,
runnin free with the buffalo...

HERE I GO!

Roll me over....
and i'll turn around

And i'll move my fingers,
up and down...
up and down...

it's okay amigo,
just let me go
ridin in the rodeo

Roll me over and turn me around,
let me keep spinning till i hit the ground
roll me over and let me go,
ride me in the rodeo

roll me over and set me free
the cowboy's life, is the life for me.

 

[Crystal]

WhooooHoooooo!!!! :clap :clap :clap Great stuff guys!!

After those performances, I think we're all feeling a little bit....wait for it.....RACEY!!! Ohhhhh yeah! Turn up that keyboard intro.....this one's for you Struggs... :hihi

Some girls will, some girls won't
Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't
Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why
Some say they will and some girls lie

So here I am in front of you
Not really knowing what to do
My heart is feeling something new
Nervously I turn away from you
I see the looks you're sending me
Is this the way it's meant to be?
It's something we should talk about
Just give me time to work it out

Some girls will, some girls won't
Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't
Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why
Some say they will and some girls lie

I find your company to be
Something completely new to me
Now that I know you socially
Obviously I'll fall heavily
I've seen those looks you're sending me
This is the way it's meant to be
There's nothing left to talk about
Oh, how I wish you'd work it out

Some girls will, some girls won't
Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't
Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why
Some say they will and some girls lie

Haven't met one yet that 'don't'

Its all just relative to alcohol consumption,and the wedge in my wallet

I was a twistin' my feet across the floor listening to that ol chestnut,ahh blue light discos......my foray into Australian syle romance.

 

[Crystal]

I'm sure you haven't. 8)

Here's another old Racey fave...... :hihi

When I met you
you were seventeen
not just another teenage queen
and then I took you ev'rywhere you've been
in and out of love then back again
now.

When I very first saw you baby I knew
ooh
darling it had to be you
you're the one who takes me higher
ooh
baby set my heart on fire.

Come on baby lay your love on me
ooh baby let your love go free now
come on baby lay your love on me
Baby
baby
baby
got the love I need
now.

Now I've tasted your sweet lips
ooh
darling I know what I miss
you gave me more than I would ever take
with ev'ry word and ev'ry move you make
now.
I can't believe that after all this time
I got ev'ry little thing I ever hoped to find
whatever you got
I can't let up
it's you baby it's you that I love.

Come on baby lay your love on me
...

 

[TigerNutt]

This one is for Struggles and Brooke ;D

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.

I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

(woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo.

 

[TigerNutt]

ok now fire up that smoke machine again, put on the afro and get those strobe lights going its

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive

Born, born to be alive
(Won't you be alive)
You see you were born
Born, born
(Born to be alive)

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives

You see you were
Born, born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were
Born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

It's good to be alive

Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind

You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(To be alive)
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
Born, born to be alive
