|
|
I would think it's some happy or funny...not necessarily fast and may even be slow. Mario Lanza's THE LAUGHING SONG or THE DONKEY SERENADE is definitely fun...but TraxxMuseum doesn't have them on the playlist. Barbara Streisand's The Minute Waltz is nice. I don't like Julie Andrews - Chim-chim-chiree, Spoonful of Sugar, Favourite Things or Lonely Goatherd...even though they're fun. Carpenters - Jambalaya, Sing, Top of the World are quite fun! Well, what does everybody think? _________________ CIKGU ARTHUR

fun songs denote song that brings you joy and happiness in its lyrics, song arrangement and beat... so it might be a sad lyrics but a great song to dance for... for example gloria gaynor "i will survive" lyric wise it is not fun per say but hey it is a great song to groove..
but songs from the yesteryear (aka 50's thru 70's) are all quite fun... _________________ One of the bujang lapok's (you sure) |

I agree! All that hate in the tone for the guy who ditched her! Hell knows not the fury of a woman scorned! Linkin Park's songs may seem fun but the lyrics are somewhat depressing!!! _________________ CIKGU ARTHUR

i 100% totally agree about linkin park songs..........it might sound cool but it is NOT a fun song.....its a song about a guy which are so sad about being dumped he was shrieking for help (not so macho eh) lol _________________ One of the bujang lapok's (you sure) |

Songs that make you feel free. That make you want to accelerate in the car when they come on, that make you want to sing out loud, that put a smile and beat in your heart, that make you forget the world and feel happy... Now that's what Friday's are about... _________________ Cheers,

Haven't been to Bedfordshire...but if it's one of those little hamlets, gosh! The speed limit's killing! 25 kph or something...;might be faster to get out and push the car!!! (I got stopped by police once but I pretended I didn't know...;alien from Malaysia! So they let me off with a warning!) _________________ CIKGU ARTHUR

Okay guys, Bedfordshire is a county like you have a state e.g. Perak. Bedford is the county town where the county dervies its name from. I work in Milton Keynes, the place of concrete cows. I travel about 17 miles (26 km) acros country so it takes up to 45 minutes. So I go from town to country roads, travelling through some nice little villages, to main road and then new city.
UK traffic is horrendous. KL's traffic is horrendous during rush hour but that traffic translates all over the UK. Traffic jams on the main roads can extend to 27 miles (45km) on a regular basis. Speed limits exist at 30mph (50kmph), 40mph (65kmph), 50mph (95kmph), 60mph (100kmph) and then out of the limit which is actually 70mph (97kmph). Somtimes 20mph is applicable when near a school and we have speed humps in these areas, godd for the suspension (not)!!! _________________ Cheers,

Are u still using the old system in the UK (mile, stone)? I thot the metric system (km, kg) we use here in Malaysia takes after the the UK. Haven't been to UK, unlike Sir Arthur who's been there in search of his family tree. _________________ Yours Truly,

We still use miles instead of kilometers but weight is now in kg and measrurement general in metres - nothing like a mix to really confuse you _________________ Cheers,

Gosh! What was that? A Geography cum Mathematics lesson??? Too much for this old brain to digest. Family tree, Pam??? Ah yes!!! I did manage to visit a little hamlet (quite near Plymouth; can't remember the name)...where there was a church and the Brookes' burial grounds next to it. The White Rajahs of Sarawak - James Brooke, Charles Brooke, Charles Vyner Brooke...all resting in peace there (and don't u say until I came, Pam!). _________________ CIKGU ARTHUR
