Best Song of all Time

First topic message reminder :

After todays thread on Steffan's Shed 7 tickets, I'm running a 606v2 Boxing 'Best Song of All Time Thread'.

Much like Union (without the cheating and favouritism), you all get your picks. It ends on Sunday midnight. I'll then do a top 10 poll.

Fire away.........

PS list your top 3

Good shout Balti, I do like the Stone Roses but they're not the greatest thing since sliced bread. All the hoopla about their reunion was too much for me.

Wasn't expecting anyone to agree with me. They seem to be somewhat revered on here. Not my cuppa though. Prefer music a bit heavier, less bland.

Winner at the moment (Using Union Kane's rule's):

Ignoring your insults Seany, it's a great song, no?

What is it? No YouTube at work.

This whole album is a classic, love trying to work out where I have heard the samples from in their earlier work (Shaoilin & Wu Tang being one of the main ones) as I love the old kung fu movies.

'And now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places...
Oh but the horns they blowin' that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town'

Its a great song Sultans of swing. The guitar solo 1 of the best I have heard on record.

Love it. Romantic ballads and ganster rap.

Even if this is the worst version of the song in history. Elaine Paige's and Mike Batt's (singing his own song, incidentally) are much better.

They were a unique group huw. They were not about a message or sharing any political view they just put the beats down and rhymed over it. Real talent.

Today's top 3

The Days of Pearly Spencer - David McWilliams
The Pearl Fishers Duet - Jussi Bjorling & Robert Merrill
Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

Almost made it
Brunhilde's Immolation - Dame Gwyneth Jones

Have you ever heard any of the MF Doom stuff? He has incredible multi syllable rhyming, talks a whole load of nonsense and has 'interesting beats' but lyrically very clever if completely insane! He's a huge fan of the old comics hence MF (metal faced) Doom, he's also Victor Vaughn the vaudeville villan and King Gendora (King Gedora is a 3 headed monster rapping about the Earth from his perspective) the guy has obviously got a liking for very good drugs. Below are the lyrics to Gazzilion Ear:

Villain man never ran with krills in his hand and
Won't stop rockin' til he clocked in a gazillion grand
Tillin' the wasteland sands
Raps on backs of treasure maps stacks to the ceilin' fan
He rest when he's ashes
Ask em after ten miles of his goulashes, smashes stashes
Chip on his shoulder with a slip on holster..
A clip, a folder and his grip on a boulder bolster
They supposed ta know. It show when his aura glow
Get from out the row, when he get dough it's horrible
Time is money spend way save invest the fess
From ten case of cave with chicken chest S
Yes ya'll the dub will get your trickles
The best ballers pitch in to rub and get a nickels
But tut tut, he about to change the price again
It go up each time, he blow up like hydrogen
Villain here, have em shrillin' in fear
And won't stop top illin' til he a gazillionaire
Grillin' stare, yeah ya boy had drama
Got em on a mental plane, avoided bad karma
Once sold a inbred skinhead a nigga joke
Plus a brand new chrome smokin' with the triggers broke
I thought I told em "firing pins was separate"
He find out later when he tries to go an rep it
Took a Jehovah money for a Arabic Torah
Charged an advance to translate it and ignored it, sorta
One monkey don't stop no slaughter
A junkie want ta cop a quarter ton, run for the border
Know the drill, it ain't worth the overkill
Flow skill, still there's no thrill
Villa bill ya 10K bills in his pilla
Villa, when it gets realer, split the skrilla with...
Dilla, (Dilla) mix, mix, mix
Do a deal for kicks and get rich quick
Sketch lyric, bet 'cha by the nick on some vic
Ick from the drumstick, come with the dumb shtick
Sick slick, hidden in a book
The only way they find it if you're spittin' in a hook
Listen, don't look now, keep walkin'
Traded three beans for this cow, cheap talkin'
Hawk men stalkin' hear that we hawkin' often
Coughin to a coffin, might as well scoff the pork then
He's like Warf, some say stronger though
Off the top J strong bow, play along bro
Wear a mask like yo off the Gong Show
Flow slow as Mongo, Don Juan thong pro
For ya info when he's not practicin' Jim Crow
A actress and some nympho bimbo
He's playin' Ray Jay the old tape
DOOM - well what can I say like JJ in a gold cape
Fill it to the rim like brim
Villain and ya won't find him in no gym
Probably a foggy bog with the frogs
With a dot on the guard as he squat on log
Half cocked and half baked
Used to keep a full stock of work half rocked and half shake
My mistake, sign a track agreement
For more G's than lines and cracks in the cement
In any event it's fake like wrestlin'
Get em like Jake The Snake on mescalines
Ahem, elixir for the dry throat
Tried to hit the high note, Villain since a itsy bitsy zygote
By remote, send in the meat wagon
Braggin' MC's packed in with they feets draggin'
These stats are staggerin'
Had his PHD in indiscreet street hagglin'
Villain, his agenda is clear
Endin' this year with dividends to spare, here
It's not meant for the seein'
Went through the celin' after enterin' his center bein'
A new meanin' to sales through the roof
Guaranteed raw and saw his truth was truth, proof
It's the return of the tramp
Who do a duet jam when Earnest goes to camp
For the right earn - na'mean like Vern
We need some more oil for the machines to burn, learn
Jiminy crickets
He gets lucky like winnin' free tickets off sickly lyrics
One mans waste is another mans soap
Sons fan base know the brotha man's dope
A real weirdo with a bug rare flow
And the way his hair grow was ugly as a scarecrow
He wears a mask so the charge won't grab
On a rooftop with a large stone slab
Heads up, talk white and thought niggerish
Refuse to walk tight and got his off the vigorous'h
Black licorice and equally as yucky
How he handled the money was strictly Dan Stuckie
Monkey hustle, man on fire
Later for the date than the Hadron Collider
And cost more, it be singin' like a style
DOOM leave the competition steamin' like a pile
Smile, ding! Sparkling jewels
In effect like alternate side of the street parkin' rules
Fools, the roach was never dead
Live for a week, then dehydrate with a severed head

Can someone please read the above lyics and tell me if it's worth bothering?

Many thanks.

C.R.E.A.M is my favourite Wu Tang track.

I read it, and I'm not entirely sure what the gentleman is going on about. But I'm sure the beats are phat.

Cash rules everything around me,
Get the money, dollar dollar bill y'all.

Think that goes without say, whatever it means.

Thanks for taking the time sodhat. On your review, I will give it a miss.

Can someone please explain the Michaels song to me next? Hobo doesn't appear willing to explain it.

I must mention the late Rafferty's classic Baker street.

I'm still in the dark, however given the lyrics seemed to make Sinitta's So Macho seem manly I suspect blissful ignorance is not a bad thing on this one.

Mind the windows Tino. wrote:Can someone please explain the Michaels song to me next? Hobo doesn't appear willing to explain it.

It's a wrestler's theme music. His name is Shawn Michaels (retired now), and I believe you can view it on youtube by searching 'shawn michaels entrance' or something similar.

You may find it a touching hit, after all, he sung it himself.

Suspect Sean has googled that on more than one occasion.

If that's the case, Michaels needs to leave the board for good.

Making sure to include the tag -wrestling.

Clever rhyming but mostly nonsense and that's from someone who likes it!

If you are not a hip hop fan you'd hate it, if you are not a hip hop geek you'd dislike it.

Regardless of musical taste if you were stoned you'd think he's genius.

Yeah, and be careful with the spelling - it's Shawn, not Sean. You might be sought out by your IT despots if they saw that pop up in your history.

This particular song, and wrestler, is one case where I will say wrestling surpasses Strictly on the camp-o-meter.

Largely irrelevant sodhat, I won't be googling either Sean or Shawn Michaels.

Brilliant. Got the Battling Nelson book printed, took a while, was only coming out a page every 30 secs.

On trying to view updated comments i think i might have just sent Yo, but seems to fit in with the theme at the moment.

Glad you cleared that up, GG. I was about to accuse you of being a 9 year old.

Help me rouuley? Anyone? Where is Union, he wouldn't let this slide.

Are you ever asking the wrong person for help, there have beem waingro posts I have understood more.

I believe he is asking me to calm down and remove myself from the front of his car (or appliance for making toast, I'm not sure). He also seems to think we are related.
