The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

Name the song and the original artist from these lyrics
1. Radio video, boogie with a suitcase, you’re livin’ in a disco, forget about the rat race, let’s do the milkshake, sellin’ like a hotcake.
2. He's got a degree in economics, Maths, physics and bionics, He thinks that I'm a cabbage, 'Cause I hate University Challenge.
3. No more carefree laughter, Silence ever after, Walking through an empty house, Tears in my eyes.
4. You've really made the grade, And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear, Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
5. And do they know, The places where we go, When we're grey and old, 'cos I have been told, That salvation lets their wings unfold.
6. Although it's always crowded, You still can find some room, For broken-hearted lovers, To cry there in the gloom.
7. You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed, There's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold, Just that something so good, Just can't function no more.
8. A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom.
9. Life is a mystery, Everyone must stand alone, I hear you call my name, And it feels like home.
10. Because when the sun shines, we'll shine together, Told you I'll be here forever, Said I'll always be your friend, Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end, Now that it's raining more than ever, Know that we'll still have each other.

4 - Space Oddity - Bowie

5- Angels - R.Williams
10 - umbrella - Rhianna

9. Like a Prayer - Madonna

8. Tutti-Fruiti? - Little Richard

9) Like a Prayer - Madge

One of the greatest ever songs by a female solo artist.

Dolphin you slag.

1. Pop Music - M
6. Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis

3. Knowing Me Knowing You - ABBA

7. Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

Number one on the day I was born. Still hate everything she has ever done. When you're too young for the cult of personality that Madonna had then you just see her as an ugly hag with a weak voice

Nothing to do with her 'cult of personality' for me. I was 11 years old.

Just a great song with a great video.

Venice and the lion wasn't it?

Or was that Like a Virgin?

The Loaded Dog wrote:Or was that Like a Virgin?

Yep.

Like a Prayer was the black Jesus one.

All correct so far.
Just this one to get :-

That lyric could have been about me.

I hate University Challenge.

Although I don't have a degree in Economics, Maths, Physics or Bionics.

I f*cking hate Madonna and everything she stands for. The last good thing she wrote was the cheque she made out to that African family in payment for her kids

ANOTHER f*cking accident on my road this morning. Scooter notch driven slap bang into a car. Completely the scooter notch's fault as they clearly thought they owned the f*cking road despite driving what basically amounts to a hairdryer with wheels. One side of the road blocked, no-one out taking care of the traffic congestion so everyman for themselves. Took me an hour to get in.

ALSO, is there a more despicable specimen in the working world than the bin man? They now turn up at 7am so the bin goes out the night before otherwise they drive off laughing like c*nts as you shout at them to wait. Storm Imogen blew everyone's bins over last night and the bin men have left the cardboard and plastic bottles that have fallen out so our road looks a mess. Absolute w*nkers!

Morning all.

Oh, of course. That was quite a sight to behold!

I've dropped a little zinger in the U19 cricket thread. Just summing up my views on traditional v modern global sport. (sorry Jules)

Don't know how else to describe it but the concept of sportsmanship is different (or non-existent) with certain cultures. That lacks soul, imo.
Like the presumptuous kid in a Saigon sports bar who asked me several years ago: "Do you follow Man U or Chelsea?" As if there were only two clubs.

"Neither" was my answer. (it was that Liverpool v West Ham FA Cup thriller from 2006)

It was My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones.

Don't talk about that game, it still hurts.

2 is an Undertones song I think but I cannot be sure nor do I know what its called. My teenage years were spent listening to my Dad's old records and cassettes, that was definitely on there.

Oh, well there you go then

Same here. Although I would add w*nking furiously and as often as possible into the mix.

Yep. Although I wouldn't w*nk at the same time. That would put me off my rhythm.

Count yourself lucky you weren't w*nking and listening to SLAYER at the same time...you'd have burst into flames

Anyone know what the lyrics of Blinded by the Light mean?
It was blaring on the radio today and although I must have heard it a million times... I still can't work it out. The calliope crashed to the ground?
It was too much back then... still too much now... but has a great bass line.
Manfred Mann must be getting on now.

Haven't got a clue about any of them. F*cking hate musicals and opera and all that jazz (which I also hate).

Good luck to the rest of you.

My money is on The Loaded Dog. Seems like a cultured guy for an Aussie.

Phuck... where do you get all of these, Marxus?

Did you just whip this one up or is there a special website you go to?
You must have been Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in another life. Amazing.

1. Phantom
2. A Tony
8. Ben Elton?

I hope 1. doesn't involve Hugh Jerkman!

5. Cabaret

It was one of the rounds I did for a music quiz a the tennis club. I was trying to cater for all musical tastes.

All correct

9. Laurence Olivier
10. Cats

You failed spectacularly.

My opinion of this sort of stuff mirrors that of Tina who, as I may have mentioned, is my favourite, and has merely cemented his place there with his condemnation of the subject matter of this quiz

Obviously this one round didn't cater for all musical tastes. That would be like only slaughtering redheads.

Same thing happened to me, we could've been close to breach of CC rules on not meeting...

If its not the Book of Mormon or The Lion King then I don't care. Even those were a stretch for me to enjoy.
