So after an exceedingly long absence, I thought I might add a new thread (especially since the old one's over 150 posts long).

Valerie, by Panic At The Disco (originally by The Zutons, if anyone's interested).

Thanks. I'm admittedly a Supernatural fangirl (but you know, the sane kind).

Valerie, by Beausoleil. Not the original, written by Richard Thompson.



Sorry, DG - I couldn't resist!

No worries Kwicko--but we're actually talking about two different songs.

Richard Thompson's version:

Oh, I know, DeepGirl - that's what I found so cool about it! We're both thinking of cover versions of songs written originally by other artists - but we're also thinking of completely different songs of the same name! Call it kismet. Or synchronicity. Or coincidence. :)

Whatever you call it, I still love your music threads!

Together We Will Live Forever - Clint Mansell (from The Fountain soundtrack)

have to listen to instrumental stuff while writing, (or I get distracted and sing along!) and this is one of my all time favourites.

"Evidently Chickentown", by John Cooper Clarke.

Beat/Punk Poet set to drum beats. Awesome angry energy.

Quote:


the fucking cops are fucking keen

to fucking keep it fucking clean

the fucking chief's a fucking swine

who fucking draws a fucking line

at fucking fun and fucking games

the fucking kids he fucking blames

are nowhere to be fucking found

anywhere in chicken town



the fucking scene is fucking sad

the fucking news is fucking bad

the fucking weed is fucking turf

the fucking speed is fucking surf

the fucking folks are fucking daft

don't fucking make me fucking laugh

it fucking hurts to look around

everywhere in chicken town



the fucking train is fucking late

you fucking wait you fucking wait

you're fucking lost and fucking found

stuck in fucking chicken town



the fucking view is fucking vile

for fucking miles and fucking miles

the fucking babies fucking cry

the fucking flowers fucking die

the fucking food is fucking muck

the fucking drains are fucking fucked

the colour scheme is fucking brown

everywhere in chicken town


the fucking pubs are fucking dull

the fucking clubs are fucking full

of fucking girls and fucking guys

with fucking murder in their eyes

a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed

waiting for a fucking cab

you fucking stay at fucking home

the fucking neighbors fucking moan

keep the fucking racket down

this is fucking chicken town


the fucking train is fucking late

you fucking wait you fucking wait

you're fucking lost and fucking found

stuck in fucking chicken town


the fucking pies are fucking old

the fucking chips are fucking cold

the fucking beer is fucking flat

the fucking flats have fucking rats

the fucking clocks are fucking wrong

the fucking days are fucking long

it fucking gets you fucking down

evidently chicken town







Most recorded versions of the song have him using the word "bloody" instead of "fucking", but he wrote it "fucking", and said it's a more percussive, flowing, rhythmic word that works better.
