Modern music.... is it just me?

I must admit it shocked me a bit but thought well it's his daughter!

Nine is a lot better, I've re-explained the whole thing to social services. :LOL:

Too late - the helicopter's overhead already. Maybe if I start beating her, then they'll go away and leave us alone for a few years.

Highly tasteless "joke" I know, but there is a point being made!

I thought 'music' had died out years ago and the modern trend was just to make a lot of noise. :confused:
Anything on the radio these days, (barring stations that play 'oldies'), is either a presenter who likes the sound of his/her own voice or a constant repititious thumping beat.
Songs today have no meaningful words or tune.
Take the classic by Lonnie Donegon, "Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bed post overnight." It has a catchy tune, melodies you can understand and there is meaning behind the words, I mean think about it;

Oh me oh my oh you
Whatever shall I do?
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If only I could know
The answer to my question
Is it yes or is it no?

CHORUS:
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it, do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils, can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar, just as steady as Gibraltar
The groom has got the ring
& it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing:

(chorus)

Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted son
Up to the White House, yes, the nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question, What has swept this continent?
(Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?
Another man shouts: Boom boom!)

(chorus)

On the bedpost overnight
(Man: Hello there, I love you & the one who holds you tight!
Lonnie: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night!)
On the bedpost overnight
(Man: A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime!
Lonnie: He'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time!)
On the bedpost overnight, yeah!

A classic if ever there was! :LOL:
 
Performers of that era, had much better diction than the singers of today, you could at least understand the words.
One of my favourites was Guy Mitchell, ok his songs were daft, but he sang with great clarity and enthusiasm.

Yeah perhaps not the most tasteful joke but a fair point you're making Dex. However i don't wish to hijack the thread, another topic for another time perhaps.
 
courteeners?

At your age, shouldn't that be spelt Cortinas............. :LOL:
That was my first car! A Yellow one!!! :oops: 500 quid I paid. It had over 100,000 on the clock when I bought it and it took me and the girlfriend back and forth to Dover (from Newcastle upon Tyne), twice without a fault! The body was dropping to bits mind! :LOL:
Mk 1 White 2 door 1500 GT ;) nice one I had. Rock Island Line by Lonnie is better ;) and quicker to type:cool:
