williethepimp Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not another music thread you may say....with a slight twist I hope...the soul thread has been great (even tho' im not a soul music fan)-its been a real eye opener for me....and Lefty had a creedence Clearwater thread-hell,we've even had a Glen freakin Campbell thread....So I think theres room for one more....Question is...which song cheers you up the minute you hear it,which song gives you that feelgood factor (Dr Feelgood maybe?)...which song do you like to put on the proverbial turntable whenever youre feeling down? I have a few myself....... Quote Link to comment

farangbah Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ironic you should start this thread, Big Pimpin'... Flashback: Two months ago, give or take. You, me and BB at the PBG (which, coincidentally, often plays good tunes). Conversation turns to music, and I try a lick or two of a song that had come back into my head recently. And I've gone on to post it here. Well, that song has become my party starter, a little ritual of mine. Few things in life are more exciting than your first night back in Pattaya, it having been a year or just two weeks. Getting ready to go out, that tangible excitement in the air. Well, on that first night, and most other nights since our conversation, as I've started to get ready to go out and crank up the tunes, this one has always been the first, often times being repeated ad nauseam. This is song craftsmanship on display here, boys, and a pop masterpiece. It fills me with positive energy, has it's correlations to Pattaya, and is just. plain. neck-bobbin' catchy... So, without further adieu, I give you the latter-day Kinks' hit, "Do it Again": 2 Quote Link to comment
duke007 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 These two tracks are guaranteed to "Rock my Balls, they will be the opening tracks of a Rock CD I will "burn" off to play in The Famous Bar on my next trip 1 Quote Link to comment

bumblebee Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Good idea indeed Willie. Played this on Youtube in the room a lot when I go back to Los last October. Got me in the summer holiday mood just before I headed out for a night on the tiles. Starts off a bit slow.. "July,fizz bombs in my mouth, Babarama everywhere, I can't lie on my pocket trout So I sit back in the easy chair" Mundy:-July 1 Quote Link to comment

katana57 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well 'ard movie!! and now for something , completely different Quality 1 Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Lefty also gets a great deal of enjoyment from watching his favorite Mellencamp song/video. Lefty has a thing for the little barefoot black cutie playing the banjo, only to realize she is probably in her mid 40s by now and not quite as adorable anymore. Siam Sam has a thing for the dude playing upright bass. Don't repeat that though. He told Lefty in confidence once while he was well into his cups. A not too infrequent occurrence for Sam. 1 Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 great video Lefty...yeah,she's a real cutie on the banjo.Jeez,is that America in the vid-it looks more like Issan-5555 Quote Link to comment

Wildrover Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Alright Willie...I only copped today who you are. Glad to be on board this forum and let the good times continue Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 great video Lefty...yeah,she's a real cutie on the banjo.Jeez,is that America in the vid-it looks more like Issan-5555 It gives the impression of the deep south states, but it could really be many other places too. I do not think that is totally an authentic town, because at the beginning of the song when the camera is moving quickly past the fronts of some of the houses, you can for an instant see one that appears to be just a false front supported by a cable. The video appears to be to be two takes of the same song, that are then edited and spliced together to make the final product. Some of the folks in the crowd appear, disappear, then reappear at too frequent intervals to be just one straight through video shot of them performing. Quote Link to comment
