Posted on January 31, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1985, US artists recorded this classic track. #singing;#feelgood

We are the World

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of allWe can’t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well…well…well
Let’s realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]

Merry old land of Oz

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las
That’s how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

Bzz, bzz, bzz
Chirp, chirp, chirp
And a couple of La di das
That’s how the crickets crick all day
In the merry old land of Oz

We get up at twelve and start to work at one
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we’re done
Jolly good fun

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las
That’s how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho

That’s how we laugh the day away
With a ho ho ho ha ha ha
In the merry old land of Oz

Pat, pat here
Pat, pat there
And a couple of brand new straws
That’s how we keep you young and fair
In the merry old land of Oz

Rub, rub here
Rub, rub there
Whether you’re tin or brass
That’s how we keep you in repair
In the merry old land of Oz

We can make a dimple smile out of a frown
Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown? Uh-huh
Jolly old town

Clip, clip here
Clip, clip there
We give the roughest claws
That certain air of savoir faire
In the merry old land of Oz

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho ho
That’s how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

That’s how we laugh the day away
With a ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha
In the merry old land of Oz

Ha ha ha, ho ho oh, ha ha ha
Ah ha ha

January 25th – World’s largest diamond found – “Diamonds are forever”

Posted on January 25, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1905 the world’s largest #diamond was found. And diamonds last forever. Here is #ShirleyBassey with the #JamesBond theme #singing;#feelgood

Diamonds are forever

Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won’t leave in the night,
I’ve no fear that they might desert me.Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev’ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don’t need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love’s gone,
They’ll lustre on.Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don’t need love,
For what good will love do me?

Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love’s gone,
They’ll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.

January 24th – First canned beer goes on sale – “Got my beer in the sideboard here”

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1935 the first canned #beer went on sale. Here are #ChasAndDave with “The Sideboard Song” which contains the lyric above. Cheers! #singing;#feelgood

The Sideboard Song

Mother phoned up last night, she was going spare, she was in a temper pulling out her hair
You’re sister’s courtin’ a scruffy looking ted, father don’t give a monkeys and this is what he said:

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care if he comes round here
I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here let Mother sort it out if he comes round here

I said to me mother let me ‘ave a talk to dad, so he comes to the telephone, he wasn’t half mad
Said she’s got no sense silly little cow and if he comes round here there’s gonna be a row

I’ll tell ya something else and all he’s never got a job, he hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob
Mother says calm down now, he’s alright, but they’re out there snogging in the passage all night

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care if he comes round here
I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here let Mother sort it out if he comes round here

If he comes round here, I’ve got my beer, let Mother sort it out,
In the sideboard here, got my beer, let Mother sort it out
I don’t care if he comes round here,

You’d think he was a tramp with the stubble on his chin, he looks like something that the cat’s brought in,
Never got no money, smokes all my fags, got holes in his soles and he’s hanging in rags
On top of that he said to tell ya why I’ve got the ‘ump, she had a skinny little belly now its sticking out the front
Nothing seems to fit her and she’s running out of clothes, if he keeps on taking liberties I’ll punch him on the nose

Five little men in a flying saucer

Five little men in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away
Wheeeeeeeee!!Four little men in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away
Wheeeeeeeee!!Three little men in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away
Wheeeeeeeee!!

Two little men in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away
Wheeeeeeeee!!

One little man in a flying saucer
Flew round the world one day
He looked left and right
But he didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away
Wheeeeeeeee!!

January 21st – Concorde flies for the first time – “Above the clouds”

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1976, #Concord flew for the first time. Here are #ELO with a lesser known track, because I’ve already used “Don’t stop me know” by Queen (which contains the word #Supersonic #singing;#feelgood

Above the clouds

I came along to see your face,
But the only thing I got from you,
Was telling me it’s fantasy,
That you would always be with me,
I can tell you that it’s true
I’m waiting here,
But it’s alright
It’s alright with me,
You better believe me now.I guess it’s like a mountain side,
You gotta climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.
I’m waiting here,
But it’s alright,
Still it’s alright with me,
You better believe me now.

January 20th – Foreigner – “I want to know what love is”

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1985, #Foreigner had their only UK No.1 with “I want to know what love is” #singing;#feelgood

I want to know what love is

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let’s talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I’m feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let’s talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is…

January 19th – First ever air raid on Britain – “Pack up your troubles”

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Chris Bridges — Leave a comment

In 1915 the first ever air raid took place over London. #singing;#feelgood

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
Don’t let your joy and laughter hear the snag
Smile boys, that’s the style
What’s the use of worrying
It never was worth while
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
Just pucker up and whistle

What’s the use of worrying
It never was worth while
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
