Using music from another song?. Then have a singalong one night when we are all together. Preferably after midnight when the drinks have taken effect!!!. Actually what about having a go at writing it now. Maybe 3 or 4 verses which can be repeated. Oh My Covid Quarantine On a bar stool in a tavern In the year of Quarantine Sat a poet and an artist Waiting for a better time. Coronavirus, Coronavirus Coronavirus Quarantine We can't come for now to Thailand Because of Covid Quarantine. In Emmy's Bar in Soi 3 Jomtien Are waiting ladyboys so fine But we can't now come to meet them Because of Covid Quarantine. Coronavirus, Coronavirus, Coronavirus Quarantine We can't come for now to Thailand Because of Covid Quarantine. When Covid 19 it is over We'll drink beer, Sangsom and wine We'll raise a glass and loudly cheer the end of Covid Quarantine. Coronavirus, Coronavirus, Coronavirus Quarantine Thailand's closed now but not forever Because of Covid Quarantine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind boy grunt Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 okay...The very final quarantine songs from me... i'll wait for a new buzzword. Here's what The Degenerates will do for an encore [which probably means we'll never need to do them] at the Emmy's got talent shows. Written so all you who will be watching and listening on the live stream all across the world, can join in! A Beatles trilogy! 'Golden Slumbers/carry that weight' and 'Hey Jude' get ready to sing along! Golden slumbers/Carry that Weight. Once there was a way, to get back here, relax mongers, do not cry Soon you’ll be back in the sky. Golden showers fill your eyes cures conjunctivitis and styes. Hangovers when you rise dodgy thai food - 7-11 pies, you will get here, by and by. Once there was a way to get back here Once there was a way, to get back in the scene, Relax mongers do not cry, Though you now face quarantine [everybody sing it loud! Shake that booty QG!] Boy, you’re gonna quarantine, quarantine, a long time Boy you’re gonna quarantine, quarantine, a long time Boy, you’re gonna quarantine, quarantine a long time. Hey Jude We’re screwed, we’ve all been had A plane ticket will make it better Remember quarantine Then you can start to make it better We’re screwed, but don't complain We were born to, eat thai chili pepper, The minute you get back on a plane Then you will start to make it better. So come get your lockdown diploma It’ll prove there's no corona, for well you know what it will mean If you don’t do quarantine.. You won’t start to make it better… Better… better... better shake it! Emmy and Teya sing it loud!… here you go now… Hit it! 1-2-3 Na Na na nan na na… na na na na na na na na Quarantine Na na na nan na na…na na na na na na Quarantine .......................................................................................... Emmy must be wondering by now, what is this crap all about... what's probably got her baffled more is what it's all on here for, don't worry Emmy... just learn the songs, The Degenerates want a LB backing singers group! You, Teya and Sunny will do nicely... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny is 22. indeed no. it's not a new one. it's an older Nikon. point and press, but loads of scary knobs bells and whistles to master.. i've just about sorted the electric kettle out though. Much easier since i realised it has a lid and i don't have to pour water into it through the spout. i knew i should have read the instruction book. actually i thought sunny was 21 now.

Apart from the ones you mentioned, all other buttons are there to confuse the user. Can't have viewers knowing more than the smart-arse tech people.

Quinn Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 BBG - crabby ! ? 5555. The past ten years of living in Thailand I've got through more electric kettles (is there any other sort) - than you can shake a stick at ! This week the on/off switch dropped off so now its a matter of whipping the plug from the wall socket and producing a miniature show of July the 4th celebrations - whatever that is. This is Thailand - electricity kills ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have viewers knowing more than the smart-arse tech people. I think I'm getting old and crabby like BBG. crabby? moi? not really just a technophobe. i recall in England years back a simple remote tv controller was sold, only had the main buttons, nice and big , and that was it. nobody bought them. . i'm pretty sure that tech companies deliberately make things confusing so that buyers can impress their mates.. as for my new camera... forget it! back in the box where it will stay. It's not a camera it's a mini computer. Way too many options [yes i know it can just be set on full auto] so why the fuck isn't it just a full auto without menu's, why all the soddin' flashing lights in the screen thingy? non of which i will ever remember what they mean. even on full auto it flashes away like a soddin' kaleidoscope. Way too scary for me. long ago i decided that when i retire i would live a very simple life, which includes... if at first i don't understand or don't want to learn... then oik it in the bin. I've mastered the kettle, mastered the lift buttons, mastered how to open packets of fags.... that does me nicely. Thank god for ring-pull cans. Thai women food sellers who lob food into plastic bags and then wrap an impossible to undo rubber band around the neck of the bag are the spawn of the devil. And don't talk to me about mobile phones! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
