thirteen years of wannabe

being in london right now, it seems somehow fitting, that my 1996 hit is the spice girls – you can say, what you want – i kinda like them

it’s raining men

up until just now, when i heard it on the radio, i had completely forgotten about a perfectly nice thing someone did for me last week – i was at a party and after a couple of glasses of champagne started to feel a little down – the music wasn’t all that good and i’d been dancing for some time anyways, so i was just sitting there, getting more and more into a depressive funk, when this friend came up to me and suggested we’d dance some more – i really wasn’t up to it, so i said, only to the weather girls, not really thinking anyone would bother – but she went up to the dj and put in a request – and then she made me dance – and everyone else came along as well – i had chosen a popular song and it felt so good – thank you to the dj and that friend (they really saved my life that night)

don’t you ever let the bad days get to you!

a day to remember

today has been an awesome day – full of sunshine in every way – and this is to remember it by – sunshine, funshine, sunshine

barnyad boogie

it ain’t getting no better than this

lazing on a sunday afternoon

I go out to work on a Monday morning
Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
I’ll be back again before it’s time for Sunny-down,
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday I go waltzing to the Zoo
I come from London town, I’m just an ordinary guy,
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I’m bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (There he goes again)
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday (oooo)
lazing on a Sunday (ooooo)
lazing on a Sunday Afternoon.

muppets anew

rama lama ding dong – muppet style

cut out the singing blue people and i’m loving it

living on the edge

art is everything – everything is art – these two brazilian brothers took that wisdom quite literally and are now living on a wall in downtown rio – me thinks, pretty cool

and a very good reason for a classic sing along song for today

me likey

who’d'ya think you’re kiddin’

no matter what tarot says, i do feel kind of light-headed and happy – sometimes it pays of to know what you want and to pursue whatever it is – and not to think too much – life’s pretty damn nice at the moment

happy birthday, lena

happy, happy birthday, dear lena – and greetings from the uk, darling shakespeare, whose birthday you share, and me

as time goes by

1983

1993

2003

2007 – just because i really like the song and i couldn’t find a 2009 video nearly as cool

david goes LA

if he can do it – i can do it – big city, here i come

girls night in

relaxing and entertaining – after a day at work, coming not-quite-to-my-own-home, but a home nontheless – having dinner cooked and the girls there to take my mind of everything from barbaro to interview from hell – dinner and a movie – chatter and a laugh – girls night in with pasta, cheese-cake, a fun movie (almost, but not quite a chick flick) and chitterchatter – my mind is at ease and i feel strong – i can face all evil from barbaro tomorrow morning to scary politicians on wednesday afternoon – i can conquer all – i’m just too busy being fabulous … once again

just saying

supergirl

with all my heart i can say, this song is my life and today i really, really, really feel like supergirl – i am defending my world, as i have always done – i have put on my smile and my bullet-proof vest because cupid, little bastard that he is, shall not try and wound me today – and i really wish to have this damn death-grip on my heart loosened – if it didn’t work as a new year’s resolution it must work as a birthday resolution – so, here’s to a new year and one without me being depressive over something stupid and someone cruel – bye-bye príncipe barbaro, i shall be happy without you!

SUPERGIRL Lyrics and music by Amy Anne

Woke up this mornin’, put on my smile
Had to start practicing since you’ll be here in a while
On my way out, grabbed my bullet-proof vest
Yeah, just in case Cupid tried to hit me in the chest

I won’t greet you with a kiss cuz you’ll touch my forcefield
It envelopes my body and it acts as a shield
Yeah, it covers up all these feelings inside
These feelings for you I’ve been conditioned to hide, cuz

CHORUS:
I’m Supergirl
And I’m the toughest little lady in the whole wide world
I’m Supergirl
You better believe that it’s true
I’m Supergirl
And I’ve been rather busy defending my world
I’m Supergirl
Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks right back
On you, on you, on you

I wish I could just fly away from this pain
Yeah, but, this damned cape, it won’t work in the rain
If my x-ray vision could see through steel
Perhaps I could see how you really, really feel

(CHORUS)

If I took off this suit and stood naked before you
What would you do, yeah, what would you do
Cuz under this armour is a girl who loves you
If you only knew, oh, if you only knew

Men of steel are so hard to find
Unfortunately they make me blind
Wish I could see through to your ugliest parts
To loosen this death-grip you’ve had on my heart

(CHORUS)

So put ‘em up, yeah put ‘em up
put ‘em up, whoa, put ‘em up
Put up your dukes

today, i will save my world, tomorrow, i will attempt to save everybody else’s as well – because i am supergirl and my superpowers are quite unparalleled and i shall conquer all difficulties and triumph over troubles

happiness and world peace

my second wish is not only for myself – i wish this upon every human being

furry happy monsters

are you feeling a little weather-beaten? – rather brought crashing back down to earth from high up in the sky, where you were happily soaring above the clouds? – sad, blue and like rain always blocks out the sunshine in your life? – don’t worry, here’s something to cheer up even the frantically despaired and depressed of us – come one monsters, you don’t have to cry now, do you? – you can be HAPPY

90s music – my precious youth

if i don’t get may daily dose of 90s music, i feel sad and strange and funny, so here goes

cool – tool – fool

this is a music review – i have absolutely no idea, how i came to find this song on youtube one day – neither, to be honest what it is about, even when i read the english lyrics – the only explanation can be the excessive use of drugs or maybe teenage fantasies of growing up – orange, slide, sponge, pride, spider, grunge, hamster, revenge, lobster, shotgun and the obvious “ride on shooting star” are the fantastically distorted english words within the japanese lyrics – and it really doesn’t matter what it all means, the song is fantastic – it makes me want to sing along – and the beatles reference at 2:04 is just too good – the video? haha, teddy bears and funky glasses? it’s so easy to make me laugh
