Oh, Yeah Rock n Roll!

English as a Second Language What do you want to talk about?
21

You must be a Monicagaga, Monica, why you have to love everything I love. Oh, you are a Venus too.

Who on earth don’t know Freddy. You may notice that I use a lot of ’ bite the dust in my topics. I copy it from Freddy. Very few so called singers sing like him. He is a perfect perfect singer cum performer. So he must bite the dust earlier as Elvis, SRV, Jimi, Lennon ,Micheal and etc. etc. They have a band in a hell or a heaven. Dunno.

Luvja,

Have fun!

Another One Bites the Dust

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready,
Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I’m going to get along,
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

[Chorus]

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he’s down
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat

22

If they have gathered in a band somewhere – according to your latest ideas, Venus man, this place must be in Heaven … and the lead singer Is surely Freddie (his voice is heaven) … and he’s singing “Made in Heaven”, for sure !

But I don’t like this “Another one bytes the dust” – neither the title, nor the music, despite of what Venus says.

What Monicagaga and Venus like is, in compensation, Bohemian Rapsody, The Great Pretender, Living On My One, Barcelona, I Want To Break Bree, and of course Radio Gaga, to mention just some (now I relize howmany of their songs we like).

From the rock bands who are still around and Torsten mentioned, I like U2 and I want to share with you two and with all the people who also like it, just one sample; howmany people do you think are singing along the Beautiful Day? Tens of thousands?

23

I was in another planet when U2 came. So I can’t metoo here with you. But I love some Micheal Learn. Their lyrics are to my likings and feelings.

I have an ostrich to catch. You go ahead pls…

Have fun!

I thought I’ve heard some Depeche Mode too, I learn English from films and songs.

24

You always have something to catch: first the time machine, then a kangaroo, now a ostrich - you travel too much and you’re always in a hurry. I’m getting dizzy! I can’t wait seeing what’s next!
But I’d like so much to know, if you can describe, this : how did you travel by kangaroo?

25

OK, since people are busy with little birds like ostriches …

I’m going ahead to the Depeche Mode.

They are coming this summer to Bucharest. Many people love them here.
I like just a few songs, as Enjoy The Silence, Precious, also Strangelove which I’m going to share with you because it’s my favorite:

Do you know, Survivor’s Eye of Tiger and Smokie’s I’ll meet you at midnight.

I love these forceful and meaningful songs a lot.

Not yet? Try them. You’ll love them.

Have fun!

A travel by kangaroo ? No joke , but I use Queen kangaroos only. I simply get into the pouch and go cradling. A bit bouncy though. But you’ll love it.

Why don’t you call or email to Australian Embassy for more information.

Have fun fun!

Eye of Tiger

Risin’ up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance now I’m back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry They stack the odds, still we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin’ up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance now I’m not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger

I’ll meet you at midnight

summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of Laughter as the music plays.

Jeanne-Claude’s student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away
You recall the night they met was warm with laughter
The words and music as she turned away.

I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
The shade is passing like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter’d disappeared

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The entertainment in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jeanne-Claude has left some other day…

Luvja!

Seeing their long hair, I miss my long hair then.

27

I’ll meet you at Midnight yes, I remember Smokie with this one and some others like Living Next Door to Alice, Oh Carol, Mexican Girl -I liked them all.

It seems that I didn’t care too much about Survivor, but I know very well the “Eye Of Tiger” , want to say that I never knew who was singing, but I liked the song. It is something, isn’t it? More than no-thing (Claudia’s) or zero :-))

I think I’m taking your advice to call the Australian Embassy right now, because you made me curious with your “bouncy” experience.

28

Hello,

I’ve taken a quick look at your favourite rock singers, but I didn’t see Little Richard who was born 1932-and fanaticized, drove his public mad, with his voice and rhythm .“Little Richard has been listed in several Rolling Stone “Greatest of All Time” lists including being ranked eighth on its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” Unfortunately, he also had done drugs and it helped him to be flamboyant but helped him to burning out himself than his contemporary Elvis Presley, who I like also very much.
Little Richard mixed the rock with the blues, gospel music it was in his blood he was a real African-American singer.He was also called: The Real King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

This is my opinion.

Oh yeah Rock n Roll, My dear lady,

Indigo blues to blues to Rock to Heavy metal to Grunge. Not many people know that. No wonder you know that. Venus lady.

Elmore James sings 'The sky it crying and Stevie polishes it. Beautiful.

I used to learn abc of Blues, which note makes it bluesy? Out of minor pentatonic scale minor flat 5 makes it blue/ bluesy. So cool?

Have fun!

Little Richard

Elmore James

An unsung hero of all all time, me the Nasty Bad Boy. lol

Singing 'Paint it Black by Rolling Stones. Oooui.

Oh yeah Rock n Roll!

The Sky Is Crying

Songwriters: JAMES, ELMORE

The sky is cryin…
Can’t you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin…
Can’t you see the tears roll down the street
I’ve been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be

I saw my baby early one morning…
She was walking on down the street
I saw my baby early this morning…
She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat

I’ve got a real real real real bad feelin
That my baby she don’t love me no more
I’ve got a real real bad feelin that my baby don’t love me no more
You know the sky, the sky’s been cryin
Can you see the tears roll down my nose

Paint It Black

Songwriters: JAGGER, MICK / RICHARDS, KEITH
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev’ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm…

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

Hmm, hmm, hmm…

I sing English songs to speak better English. Cool, eh ?

Monicagaga,

I used to live next to Alice who was always chasing me those days? Can you believe that. Cute me then?

You know we eat Crocs, so Crocs are sloppy peanuts to the Burmese.

Turtles? We sashimi them. Oooui.

Have fun!

31

Hello Mr. Kyaw,

I knew surely that you like him!!! I don’t wonder your sentence only I envy you. "I used to learn abc of Blues, which note makes it bluesy? Out of minor pentatonic scale minor flat 5 makes it blue/ bluesy. So cool? "

So cool? It isn’t no question.I like him, and you enjoy him. I like him because I listened to him several times. And there is a very good Hungarian rock song of which the refrain is: “Little Richard is singing” . So in Hungary everybody likes him. Today I was listening to him on You Tube and I’ve almost danced with the others. Incredibly authentic. Am I right?

Regards.

My Lady,

Riffs and Runs and all those softer flatten scales make blues the Queen of Music. Then She commands us.

I love you love blues.

It’s something beautiful of the planet earth, ain’t it?

Why we fancy blues , coz it so original, so human, it shows Yin side of mankind, the water, flowing in our blood throb our hearts and rock our brains.

Kind regards.

I’m now listening 'I’ll meet you at midnight. I’ve been listening it for three days, coz I miss someone , who I lost for some time. I miss her a lot. But who cares?

33

Dear rocky singer,

So you used to sing “Paint it black?” I know this one too - sign that I liked it.
And that one in the picture is Alice from next-door? A little contortionist or just looks like?
What other songs did you sing to blond-Alice? I want to see why she was so mad about you as to chasing you so much :slight_smile:

Since you gave me the idea, I’d like to ask you a favor: next time when you eat a croco, please save its skin and send it to me because I don’t have a purse like the one in the picture. Or maybe not, because I’d rather like a snake-skin purse because it would match my eyes better – could you arrange that for me, please?

How do you “sashimi” the turtles? looks like a sandwich – what is it? Anyway, it makes me sick, because I have 3 little turtles: Mimi, Cici &Titi and I love them and take care of them: feed them, take them to the doctor, give them vitamins, change the water in their swimming-pool. I’ll send you a picture tomorrow.
See you!
Monicagaga

34

Monicagaga,

I would sing Bee Gees’ Massachusetts , Clapton’s Knocking on the heaven’s door , some Rod Stewart and some CCR etc. etc for an avid fan like you.

I love to yell Cranberry’s Salvation and Zombie quite often as well.

Cool?

I will make sure to dhl you some tiger bones, tortoise and turtle shells, croc and Burmese python skins, rhino and water buffalo horns when I have them.

You know Burmese Python? We smoke or pickle them in Burma. We’re the Burmese.

I can’t wait to see your cute turtles, I would soup them with some black peppers and lady fingers. lol.

Luvja, luvja turtles.

Have fun!

Burmese Python in a fight with a Croc, Imagine who won, Python , of course.

Driftish Burmese Pythons in the States.

A Burmese Python with his young Cambodian Master.

Phythonyish Burmese?

35

My next door Alice was a twiggy one then. I can’t sashimi her, so can’t fancy her.

I fancy 36/40 sashimi sort of girlies only. lol

Have fun!

My ex is 41, Oooui.

36

How do I sashimi turtles? Normally, I use my father’s old surgery scalpels. I’m so detailed not to bleed them.

Oh, you don’t know I’ve got a degree in Zoology. So I do know how to sashimi and skin someone and some bodies. lol.

You wouldn’t know that what just cut you. Tender cut, I call.

Have fun!

37

Oh, Why did I ask? I shouldn’t have … And that doctor (or whatever he is) … I hate that smile! it makes me freeze …

But look at them! Aren’t they cute?

Here we have two ballerinas:

Here we have a turtle-palm tree (don’t ask me how she got there because I didn’t see and it was not just one time -maybe the other one helped her) :

… and here I caught all three, one above another - a tower of turtles, but I think you can’t see it very well. This is the figure they like the most.
But it doesn’t last much after somebody enters the room, because they get scared immediately and jump down and hide in the water under the island, as quickly as they can.

38

Really amazing. The best part is their acrobatic displays. I must learn things from them.

Okay, I take them out of my sashimi list.

Hey, why don’t you give them some Viagra and let’s see what happen to them. lol.

Turtles on Viagra, then.

Have fun!

Hello Mr. Kyaw

I couldn’t answer because I didn’t find what means flatten (English) in the music.In the English-Hungarian dictionary told me, but in Hungarian.So I understand and really I used to know that this means they put down musical notes with a half, but the Oxford dictionary forgot to explain the meaning of ‘flatten’ in music. So I had to find out the translation. I enjoyed your explanation because I used to know this and also I knew that sonority of the blues this is the clue. It is good to read something which run back over the forgotten past.
Many thanks, I am lately really busy that’s why I couldn’t answer. It took me time that I should write to you I understand the flatten, but only in Hungarian. Now in English also. For example: ‘c’ becomes a ‘c-flat’ etc.

Regards:
Kati

When the pitch of the music is lowered or highered (For example, lowered by half a tone, so that B becomes a B-flat, etc.) that is called a transposition - the music has been transposed to a different key.
