*DONE* The Badgers love music PIF.

This PIF is now closed.

Mrs Lady_Badger and I wanted to put together a PIF since everybody on here has been so generous. And if it wasn't for Mrs Badger winning a very nice PIF on here she may of not been hooked to traditional shaving like she is now.
We also love music. So our conditions to this PIF is that you be CONUSA only and that you post some of your favorite song lyrics. We love all music so genre and era do not matter. I'm sure I don't have to say this but, please keep the lyrics clean.
The prizes are.
A 1.7oz tube C&O Bigelow shave cream with eucalyptus
A puck of deluxe VDH shave soap
A pack of CVS brand double edge razor blades
A dollar store cappuccino mug
A hand made by Lady_Badger camo paracord survival keychain
All prizes are brand new.
This would make a good newbie set but, we are not limiting it to newbies. So newbies and oldies have at it,
PIF will close next Thursday night 03/13 and the winner will be announced Friday morning 03/14.
We will be using random.org to select the winner.
Good luck. Let's make a musical.

It's a tough decision for me but, I'll kick it off. Not in lol

"Keep, keep it together. Forever keep people together. Keep it together in the family. They're a reminder of your history. brothers & sisters they hold the key. To your heart & your soul. Don't forget that your family is gold. When I look back. And all the misery. And all the heartache. That they brought to me. I wouldn't change it. For abother chance. 'Cause blood is thicker. Than any circumstance. Keep, keep it together. Keep people together. Forever and ever."
Madonna's Keep It Together

 

My all time favorite song from 1979
Triumph
Lay It On The Line
It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you
I wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line


I'm tired of playin foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane
I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line

 

Not in. My music has no clean lyrics anyways. good PIF though.

 

Great PIF. Not in.

 

Excellent PIF, missus & mr Badger! Don't count me in as I don apply (not CONUS). The minions and me love lots of kinds of music as well. This is one of our favourites (careful: it's French! - by Georges Brassens):

Le parapluie

Il pleuvait fort sur la grand-route
Ell' cheminait sans parapluie
J'en avais un, volé, sans doute
Le matin mème а un ami
Courant alors а sa rescousse
Je lui propose un peu d'abri
En sèchant l'eau de sa frimousse
D'un air très doux, ell' m'a dit "oui "

Un p'tit coin d'parapluie
Contre un coin d'paradis
Elle avait quelque chos' d'un ange
Un p'tit coin d'paradis
Contre un coin d'parapluie
Je n'perdais pas au chang', pardi

Chemin faisant, que ce fut tendre
D'ouïr а deux le chant joli
Que l'eau du ciel faisait entendre
Sur le toit de mon parapluie
J'aurais voulu, comme au déluge
Voir sans arrèt tomber la pluie
Pour la garder, sous mon refuge
Quarante jours, quarante nuits

Un p'tit coin d'parapluie
Contre un coin d'paradis
Elle avait quelque chos' d'un ange
Un p'tit coin d'paradis
Contre un coin d'parapluie
Je n'perdais pas au chang', pardi

Mais bêtement, même en orage
Les routes vont vers des pays
Bientôt le sien fit un barrage
A l'horizon de ma folie
Il a fallu qu'elle me quitte
Après m'avoir dit grand merci
Et je l'ai vue toute petite
Partir gaiement vers mon oubli

Un p'tit coin d'parapluie
Contre un coin d'paradis
Elle avait quelque chos' d'un ange
Un p'tit coin d'paradis
Contre un coin d'parapluie
Je n'perdais pas au chang', pardi.


Okay, just for you guys and gals, the translation (not perfect, but close enough for me anyway!)

The Umbrella
It was raining hard on the highway
She hurried along without cover
I had with me an umbrella, stolen
That very morning from a friend
Running over to her rescue
I offered her a little shelter
Wiping the weather off her sweet face
She complied very softly with a “yes.”

A little corner of an umbrella
For a little corner of Paradise
There was something about her of an angel
A little corner of Paradise
For a little corner of an umbrella
It wasn’t a bad bargain, heavens!

Along the way, how sweet it was
To hear with her the tra la la
Made by the water from the sky pattering
Against the roof of my umbrella
I would have liked, as during the Flood
To see the rain fall without end
To keep her there, under my refuge
Forty days and forty nights

A little corner of an umbrella
For a little corner of Paradise
There was something about her of an angel
A little corner of Paradise
For a little corner of an umbrella
It wasn’t a bad bargain, heavens!

But inevitably, even in storm
Roads continue on to each’s country
Soon enough hers appeared, a great wall
On the horizon of my passion
It came time for her to leave
After thanking me profusely
And I saw her figure grow ever smaller
As she gaily vanished into memory

A little corner of an umbrella
For a little corner of Paradise
There was something about her of an angel
A little corner of Paradise
For a little corner of an umbrella
It wasn’t a bad bargain, heavens!

 

I am in

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.



CONUS?

 

Excellent choice! I love that song. - The whole album in fact! I met my better half on a Pink Floyd concert in '89 in Belgium.

CONtinental USa, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Thanks there are a lot of acronyms used here and I I am not sure what they all stand for

 

Not in, but here is one of my favorites;
Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal
In Sherwood Forest
There dwelt a knight
Who was known
As the righteous Sir Greenbaum

And many dragons
Had felt the might
Of the smite
Of the righteous Sir Greenbaum

I chanced upon him one morn
When he'd recently rescued a maiden fair
Why, why art thou so forlorn
Sir Greenbaum, is thy heart heavy laden?

Said he, "Forsooth
'Tis a sorry plight
That engendered my attitude bluish"
Said he, "I don't wanna be a knight
That's no job for a boy who is Jewish"

All day with the mighty sword
And the mighty steed and the mighty lance
All day with that heavy shield
And a pair of aluminum pants

All day with the slaying and slewing
And smiting and smoting like Robin Hood
Oh, wouldst I could kick the habit
And give up smoting for good

And so he said to the other knights,
"You may have my possessions and my goods
For I am moving to Shaker Heights
Where I've got some connections in dry goods

Farewell to the dragon's paw
And the other swashbuckling games and sports
I'll work for my father in law
When I marry Miss Guinevere Schwartz"

 

That's pretty freaking cool. Thank you for that. Sorry about the CONUSA thing.

Awesome.

Love it

That's cool.

 

That sounds like a good story waiting to be told.

Not in BadgerFaces, but very nice PIF!

 

I guy who sells vinyl at the flea market let me here a bootleg Pink Floyd album the other day. Flowers and vegetables I think it's called. I had know idea they had that kinda sound when they first got going. Very different then what I am used to hearing of theirs. I loved it.

Post a song anyway lol just say not in.

You can still post a song man. Lol

 

I am in

Little Anthony and the Imperials

OOOOOOOO Wha
OOOOOOOO Wha
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop(ahh)
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop(ahh)
Sittin' in a native hut
All alone and blue
Sittin' in a native hut
Wonderin' what to do
Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like a Paradise
Put me in a trance
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Joined her in her dancin spree
Felt my spine a tingle
Held her tight and close to me
MAN I'm glad I'm single
Then she showed me what to do
First I was amazed
Soon I learned a step or two
Put me in a daze
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
You can do the Coco Bop
Now's no time to stop
Left her for a night came back
Bring em side by side
A single pitch
Last two steps
Now you're gunna glide
Keep along the rythm track
Girls be showin' how
Now you start to arch your back
Man you got em now
Goin' Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy bop
Shimmy shimmy coco bop shimmy shimmy AHHHHHH


Great PIF

 

OK... not in ....since I'm learning to play the basics of this one and I'm on a major Clapton kick lately...

The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away
The the bliss that lays around me.

 

That made me think of Tom Hanks in Big.

Love Clapton. Thanks

 

Oh alright, you talked me into it. This one reminds me of all the guys I served with and all the stuff I've seen in the world.

Five Finger Death Punch- Far From Home

Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories of Shadows ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home

And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me down.

All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up
A million shattered dreams.

The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home.

 

Thanks that's great.

I should download all these songs and make a TSD CD lol
Ashley said receiving a TSDCD is better then receiving a STD. Not sure how she knows this lol.

 

Best you just don't ask her.
