Boards too quiet! Let's sing!

I found a song about how people rally behind Microsoft Windows and the blue screen of death. It's called "Everybody Loves The Blues" played by The Renovators.

Lyrics:

Code: Select all

I’ve been in clubs around the world 
From Rome to Massachusetts 
I’ve been in every kind of band 
And I’ve played all kinds of music 
I guess I’ve learned a thing or two 
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues 
If the crowd is in a trance 
And you want ‘em in their dancing shoes 

Everybody loves the blues 
Everybody loves the blues 
LA to Santa Cruz 
Everybody loves the blues 

I’ve played Rock and Funk and R&B 
Polka, punk, and watusi 
Latin, tango, twist and waltz 
Country, congo, western, schmaltz 
Blue Suede Shoes to Long Tall Sally 
Even yodeled in the valley 
Fox-trot, metal, glam and thrash 
As long as they were paying cash 
A lotta styles across the miles 
To keep the folks amused 
But if you really wanna know 
What makes ‘em blow a fuse 

Everybody loves the blues 
Everybody loves the blues 
Taiwan to Syracuse 
Everybody loves the blues 

Everybody loves the blues 
Everybody loves the blues 
Let the people choose 
Everybody loves the blues 

Let me hear you say: “I love the blues”… 

So when you want to groove 
Everybody loves the blues 
You want the crowd to move 
Everybody loves the blues 
Portland to Baton Rouge 
Everybody loves the blues

Yeah we all love the blue screens of death from Microsoft!

sorry, are you a gay?

I would have sworn that you said in another thread that you were a musician. If so, you need to retract that statement. I am not exactly a fan of Avril myself, but she is a REAL musician, unlike most of the pop females out there. She writes most of her own stuff and she plays instruments. There really hasn't been a female "pop star" do this since Debbie Gibson in the late 80's early 90s. Like Avril, she was a little girl who was actually writing those hit song and playing the instruments on those hit song.

As a musician, you shouldn't knock somebody who actually has talent. There are too many people with no talent who are filling the ariwaves who deserve all the hate you can sling at them.

Brice Manuel: True but if I said what you said perhaps that would of lead to a bigger trouble...

indeed she is a real musician.
And i did not comment that she isnt a real musician.
In fact i like some of her songs too, but this was not meant as serious.
She IS a real musician, and just the fact she writes the songs and probably her melodies too [most of it], is good these days. Not many do that.

Nice stuff, joakim

Im not a musician in the way of playing a guitar f.x. More a composer, however i do play a little piano. Not very much though.
But i know how it should sound i just cant hit the right strings

But on computer, it doesnt matter really much i cant hit strings. I got my midi keyboard, and software with tons of funcitonality. But whatever people say, i have to MAKE the instruments sound good myself! of course some of the synths comes with lots of presets, but always using them, wouldnt that be too easy?

and they got rather large and complex manuals too.

As a musician, you shouldn't knock somebody who actually has talent. There are too many people with no talent who are filling the ariwaves who deserve all the hate you can sling at them.

I didnt knock her down, i tried to kick dagcrack!!

oh yeah he is right only god would know what i would have done to him if he wrote this to me

Hi Kale,
could you please explain what this means and where it comes from?

Thanks!!

About Avril Lavigne having composed all the songs, well, this is not entirely true:

- Complicated -
Composers/Authors: David Scott Alspach, Lauren Christy, Graham Edwards, Avril Ramona Lavigne

- Losing Grip -
Composers/Authors: Avril Ramona Lavigne, Clifton Magness

- Naked -
Composers/Authors: Sabelle Beer, Curtis J. Frasca, Avril Ramona Lavigne

etc.

Though Avril indeed is kinda talented, don't just believe the hype!

Typical for those americans to belive in the first thing they hear.-
however at least it seems like she have had influence on the songs.

I'm always stunned how many german words have found their
way into the english (american) language (even though it may
not really be astonishing, considering the development in general).

Thanks for your explanation! Now even I understand the meaning.

Isn't English a Germanic language? Angles and Saxons and all that?

That's why I wrote that it's not really astonishing, still it's often hard to
believe for me.

Best thing I ever read was "my HD gave up its ghost".
This is a saying that is 100% the same in german and sounds sooooo
german to me, totally anti-english.
