As I recall, this album was sonically flawless, and quite fun.

I've never been a huge MJ fan (sorry Lacy!), but that is one of his songs I found/find quite infectious, in a good way.

John Porter - he is Welsh, but since seventies he lives mostly in Poland. Or at least that's what I think he does.

Oooooh good one Om!

Hey, this may be a long shot, but does anyone know of a song, by a female (Kuwaiti I think) singer , who sings, " Sur-prise! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you (yellah), sana halwa habibbi, sana halwa, sana halwaaaa habbibi..." and then off into a song?

NOT WORK SAFE:

Contains one mild curse, and disturbing image. (from the movie 'Fallen')


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ44q_5uMM4&feature=related

I never do think of that song the same way again; I think of the crowd scene and "jumping" through brush-passes.

edit: Song begins at :47, and that is after the one mild profanity.

Cee Lo Green... "Forget You", only, not that version. Obviously there's no posting it here. :smile:

um...

the first time I heard this at work, I was like; "You can't play that! They say the "f" word!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K71XXSin4lc

But they didn't.

Then I read the lyrics* to the subtitled version where they do while playing it really loud in my office, while the censored version was playing out on the floor, and then I screamed out; "@#%@ you too..."

Then the whole office got kind of quiet... :blushing:

I love that song.

*I think I'd only understood one word in the whole song before that moment. It is such a very tragic thing to lose someone you love to such shallowness, and hence the angry message of this song.

Actually 2 x favorites, among a million:

1. My favorite Irish singers, 'The Corrs'- doing a Jimi Hendrix song, 'Little Wings'



and

2. Bach's 'Air' by Vienna Philharmonic Women´s Orchestra, (Conductor Izabella Shareyko

Finally - someone posted the Grateful Dead's Clementine Jam on Youtube.



It's great with the lights turned down and with a decent volume.

Another version -
Note the bill - Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service!

I think that you mixed up your links unless the Grateful Dead are now performing in Porta-Johns. :-p
