For those "youngsters" that don't know the "old-folks" slang ... the Happy House is slang for a lunatic asylum.

In the same way ... I had to explain to an old American friend that Jethro Tull's "Too Old to Rock & Roll" is about an old rocker that's on a semi-suicidal motorbike ride up the old A1 road that links London to the North of England, with the desire to go 100MPH one last time.

I guess that slang and cultural-references don't always cross-the-pond intact.  :wink:

A spanner in the works...

Barmy army...

Winnets (dingleberries, yes?)

On the dole...

I learned many things from pop songs.

Elstree Studios...

GBH (we call it "assault & battery")

Reminded me Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper in "Easy Rider" and its abrupt ending. I used to see the flyers for it, but it was only very recently that I decided to give it a shot as I don't usually rent/care for older movies pre-80's. Anyway, sure enough it ends with one last motorbike ride... The "easy riders" didn't know it was gonna be their last ride of course, but yeah, it worked out that way and then the movie is just over... It was like, "Oh...? Uh, OK... The End."

Winnets (dingleberries, yes?)

Definitely don't know either of those ... perhaps after-my-time???

A good bit of GBH though ... definitely a part of the late-1970s/early-1980s Punk vs Mod scene.

Ignore the 1st 10 seconds of the video, but this song exemplifies the difference between to 2 styles, 1979 punk-dystopia in esteban's and my tracks, and 1979 50s-Mod-revival (see The Who's Quadrophenia) ...

Got to admit to the terrible embarrassment of never actually having watch Easy Rider, even though I now ride a motorbike (but not a damned Harley!).

Since I should put a "what I'm listening to" music video here, here's a reply to the earlier Lazerhawk track ...

Jahahajajaha... Many of those items were just snippets of lyrics that broadened my vocabulary...of course, before the Internet, it took some work to figure out some references.

"Barmy Army" is from some song by the Exploited

Winnets...I can't remember what song that was from, but I had no clue what a winnet was.

Hey, I occasionally listen to songs with positive energy and uplifting lyrics. :)

"Time for Action" is a great song to drive to when you are happy :)

I often listen to The Jam when I am happy driving.






Without even watching the link...I already think I know...

Is this the Giorgio Moroder soundtrack for Metropolis?

I've owned several different versions of this film, but obviously I am a sucker for Moroder.

Which reminds me: FOXES soundtrack...

You linked to this video in that other thread, too... a few days ago, so you are clearly obsessed with it :)

I think you are suffering from "Xanadu on the brain"....

You need to take a break from Xanadu.

Here:


This is my favorite version of the song. peel>album>demo>live
