Sing-a-song

Karaoke session with some friends yesterday afternoon. I chose a few songs from the yesteryears - oh they do bring back the memories. For the record, nope, I can't really sing (the others were much, much better). If it was a competition, I'd come dead last. If it was an Akademi Fantasia concert, I'd receive the least SMSs, heh! Or if I didn't, they'd have a flame war over it in the forums.

Alas, this much-loved song wasn't in their database. The only Chumbawamba song they have is 'Tubthumping'.

Amnesia (Chumbawamba)

Goodbye to the summer
Sold down the river
Unhappy ever after
Well did you ever?
Did you ever reach for the glued-down penny?
Same old joke and it's not funny
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old cheated by the new

Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember...
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember.....

You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue for better or worse
What goes around comes around
Again again again
This heart pulled apart
Hydra fighting head to head
Burns are red bruises blue
Out with the old cheated by the new

Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember...
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember....
Amnesia

Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember...



Only recently did I realize what it was actually about.
One of the worse lines in a song, in my opinion, is this one:

From Sisqo's Thong Song

She had dumps like a truck truck truck
Thighs like what what what


Like what? What?
