05 Sep 09 - 09:02 PM (#2717162) Subject: RE: who sings the song 'bored to be alive' From: Jeri On YouTube. I forgot this song. I can handle a bit of techno, but this had me thinking about flyswatters. I think "bored..." might have been more interesting. Hey, we could do our own YouTuberosity. Somebody write the lyrics, then we'll get the band together. A kazoo 'big band' section kind of thing, with percussion on folding chairs and cardboard boxes and maybe some step dancers (they'd really add to the video), a musical saw player and about 50 shaky eggs. I think we could go viral real fast. A video might be popular as well. |

01 Nov 09 - 09:23 AM (#2757207) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Born to Be Alive (Patrick Hernandez) From: GUEST,Raff_the_Math I want to hear the techno version, too. I heard it yesterday in a train, someone played it with his/her handy and remembered the song. I can't say if this version is the right one, because youtube writes in the video display "An error occured, please try again later" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKP-k3NvpHk Yes it's really mad, that I know (such) a song in former times, and then that it's so hard to find it, just because it's a techno remix or because it has no lyrics. But I'm happy to be able to say that I have found every song I wanted to, no matter if normally it's impossible to find it. |
