Hero Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 One of the local ice cream vans has been upgraded. Instead of nursery rhymes or Greensleeves, we're now being treated to a plinky plonk version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song was ripped off and the composer and his people have never gotten a cent in royalties. They have fought for decades for justice and live in poverty.

I do hope Disney had the decency to finally pay them the royalties they deserve. I got curious and found Mbube on YouTube, it's a little eerie but I like it! I'll probably have The Lion Sleeps Tonight stuck in my head though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBigFat Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 As a related but tangential OT NOTE…The history of how Western colonizers (and especially Christian missionaries) have specifically silenced the music —especially the drumming—of Aboriginal tribes in the countries they have invaded is quite horrifying and enraging. And done very intentionally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBigFat Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Changing the subject…. guess who’s performing on the last night of the Democratic Convention, tomorrow? PINK!!!!!! I believe it is all on youtube. Also Kamala’s acceptance speech, if anyone is interested. Edited August 21 by QueenBigFat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome news! I'll definitely be giving that a watch. Over here the news reporters are still saying Taylor Swift and Beyonce could be there too, can't deny that they're great performers but I much prefer P!nk! From what I gather the conference is going well. #presidentkamala was trending all day on X yesterday, let's hope that's trending again in November! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBigFat Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) They said not Taylor bec then it would be all about her rather than Kamala. That makes sense. OTOH the campaign uses Quern B’s “Freedom “ as its theme, so… 8 hours ago, TinyLove_CJ said: That's awesome news! I'll definitely be giving that a watch.

emilynxlan Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Well lads, what's the craic? My craic is that I fell outside city hall on Monday after work 🤦🏼♀️ bruises galore on my legs right now. Of course, because I fell on my knees, my teeth hurt. Yep, logic 🤣🤣🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 @QueenBigFat I haven't heard The Lion Sleeps Tonight in full for quite some time, I also haven't been to one of my local supermarkets for quite some time, until today.

Love Oasis so much, their music meant a lot to me back at uni. Tempted to get tickets for any of the Manchester dates but I'm highly likely to be in London next July so part of me isn't sure what to do 🥲 Odds are tickets will sell out quick this weekend anyway and I have no idea what the chances are of getting good re-sale ones next year 😐 Little annoyed that none of the UK gigs will be filmed for tv but I'm hoping they do Glastonbury next year at least that gets filmed!

TinyLove_CJ Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Random Oasis nerdy fact... Definitely Maybe was released 29th August 1994. Gap of 15 years... They officially split up on 28th August 2009. Gap of 15 years... They announce reunion tour on 27th August 2024. Maybe those dates are no accident!? 🤔 Who knows, perhaps 15 years from now they'll announce something on 26th August 2037! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Having bad luck since my husband is back from his holidays with our daughter. I took mine before him with my mother because holidays with him are hell since we don t like the same activities at all. I couldn t go and see Mika s concert because he had decided the spend the whole week end with me and he threw in a huge tandrum like an insecure baby so I ended up staying home which was very sad but this is not the first nor the last time that happens [the concert was only an hour and fifteen minutes drive to where I live so when I had bought my ticket I never though the timing would be bad ] I had had a lovely time with our son [we both work] but I managed to do thing in the house and outside too like going to the beach. So now it s back to usual. And today I spilt coffee on my phone and it s dead. I have an extra one but a baby is sleeping in the room where my extra phone is so using my pc now. Thankfully I had transferred all my data into the sd card that was in the phone last night so I haven t lost any data. So I guess I m still lucky in a way. My phone was protected by a case but a few drops must have gotten into it. I always buy cheap second hand phones but maybe I should invest in an unbreakable one Sorry this is turning into the whining thread Edited August 27 by crazyaboutmika 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't long after we had talked about it and it always feels surreal when I've had these experiences. Maybe even feeling some kind of connection... with you perhaps?! Or the planets or maybe I'm becoming more one with the universe 😌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
