This is fun joyful duet, about recent football stuff in England: https://youtu.be/RJqimlFcJsM

Bet British people chant it to cheer at favorite respective teams.

Recently discovered Foreigner, its popular hit everybody listened, looks like. Except I. "I Want To Know..." is song with choir. Is it sufficiently "sweet"? Can't tell. Could you decide, jk?

Been seeing cool youtube channel by black twins - TwinsthenewTrend. Smb. in Beatles.ru shared news about these people recently, with link to their Phil Collins "initial time hearing" reaction. Checking thru channel, see that they listened to BBs' "Surfin' U.S.A.". Fun stuff. 3D
Huge fan by now. 3D Thru twins' channel discovered many cool songs. Tim is the fave twin, he began the channel in 2019.
Seen as well few cool b&w films, including finally seen "Casablanca" - guys, if you didn't see it yet, don't. It's snoozy garbage. Single redeeming thing about it - the great Claude Rains with usual brilliancy.

Next jolly interesting reply. 3D Comparing different reaction channels at youtube = fun. 👊✊ & & &, it's cool to hear new songs that didn't hear b4, just like these people. To add to list listed previously - songs, again, with 0-5 rankings:

U2 "Where Streets Have No Name" - 2/5. Btw, never got why Bono is hated, such good guy he is, he gives to charities & stuff. People like "he is blowhard". You people blowhards too, it's human nature to brag about this & that. Big deal. Everybody did & does it daily, right now as I type buncha people brag about whatever to friends or whoever. It it what it is, it's harmless too, it ain't sin hey.

Queen "Another One Bites The Dust" - cool bass, beat. 3/5. It's funny that everybody recognized it in reaction channels, right when the intro began "Hey this song is Queen song?! Wow. Guys, sorry, looks like I know this song, it's been in movies, commercials, many places". Yet...NOBODY recognized "Bohemian Rhapsody", they been indeed hearing it with fresh ears (since it's reaction channel purpose - to react to songs that you didn't hear b4). Weird, figured it's Queen's signature, mad-popular song. When I listened to it back in 2011, what seemed to be initial listen, when it played, it quickly went familiar. But I didn't hear AOBTD b4, didn't recognize any bit of it. Is it popular? Who knew.

Yazoo "Don't Go" - 1/5. 80s music is hideous & funny. She sings well = single good thing to tell about this specific song.

Erasure "Little Respect" - 0/5. Thumbs down but liked twins' reaction, little dance moves they did, too cute.

Etta James "At Last" - 3/5. Ain't favorite (due to fiddles' abundance). Etta's beautiful voice is given 5 points. It should be a cappella.

Stevie Nicks "Edge Of 17" - everybody likes Stevie Nicks, each channel that reacted towards songs she sings (with band & solo). They liked it too. Yet I didn't - song isn't dull, maybe little bit but music yells 80s, *that* I didn't like. Next thing, Stevie sings better, better songs, with band. 0/5.

Luke Combs "When It Rains It Pours" - fun lil country choon. 4/5. It's upbeat, cheery, plus good voice. NB: Clip = 0/5.
6  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread on: November 19, 2020, 09:06:59 AM
Listened to buncha new to these ears artists/songs, via different youtube reaction channels, each given 0-5 scale:

Heart "Crazy On You" - 5/5. Didn't hear even band title b4. 1st song hear = straight banger. It's got many little cool musical things.
Heart "Barracuda" - 5/5.  2  5/5 songs in row.
Police "Message In Bottle" - 1/5. Backing track nice, vocals bad. Sting in video little looks like British actor Ewan Mc-what.
The Carpenters "Only Yesterday" - 5/5, didn't hear it b4, beautiful video/she in it, new fave Carpenters song.
Outkast "Ms. Jackson" - 4/5. Cute.
Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" - 1/5. He sings like black. Song didn't impress nevertheless.
Nina Simone "Feeling Good", "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" - 2 times 5/5. Def. going to check her catalog.
Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time" - 0/5.
Madonna "Lucky Star" - 0/5.
Aerosmith "Crazy", "Dude Looks Like Lady" - 0/5, 0/5. Steven Tyler's voice didn't save these songs.
Flock Of Seagulls "I Ran" - 2/5. Such funny silly song.
Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca" - 0/5.
Earth Wind & Fire "September", EW&F "Boogie Wonderland" (ft. Emotions) - 2/5, 2/5. Brass band = cool.
3 Doors Down "Here Without You" - 0/5. Dulllllll.
Evanescence "My Immortal" - see 3 Doors Down.
Gotye "Smb. That I Used To Know" - 0/5. Ditto as previous 2 listed songs.
Prince "Purple Rain" - 0/5. People in youtube kept advising to see entire film clip to this song is in. Going by clip, it's really boring film.
Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares To You" - written by Prince they say, yet he gave this song to some Irish girl. Weird. Couldn't she sing it without adding little growls? It really grated to ears. Prince's cover with black lady been slightly better but still song is dull, thus 0/5.
Jackie Wilson "Lonely Teardrops" - I knew this song, absolutely know who is Jackie Wilson but I didn't see what he looks like, he can dance. 3D He is great singer but since I ain't song's fan, it's 0/5. Sidenote: reading his wiki page, Jackie's got really sad bio. It kinda ruined mood reading it.
Doobie Brothers "Black Water" - 5/5. 3D
Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train" - 3/5. Guitars = 😎. As is Ozzy's voice.
Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" - 5/5. 3D
White Stripes "7 Nation Army" - 5/5. 3D Familiar with band thru Top 10 fave film "Coffee&Cigarettes" by Jim cool Jarmusch. Meg & Jack sat down discussing Tesla. Didn't check duet's music till few days back. Jolly good song.

Shout-out to your baby sister. 3D Good worker.
Who did you vote? Is it secret? police Few people in youtube refuse to say who they voted - "Sorry guys I shan't tell who it is I voted". It puzzles big time when they don't tell it. It's easy, folks, you just tell name.😄

Recently listened to Billy Idol's "Eyes Without Face" - got Halloween style to it. Listened to Toto's "Africa" - intro/riff, without reasons, makes me laugh, there's sth. funny about it, zero clue what the song's even about. These'd be 2 1980s discoveries.
10  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The John Lennon General Reviews Thread on: November 16, 2020, 06:41:37 AM
I don't like everything John did. I own three great albums of his (Plastic Ono Band, Imagine and Wall and Bridges) and I can't see myself ever adding to them.
Good decision. Don't waste time listening to the other John albums. It's trash, he's less talented than Paul (duh).
11  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: It Takes Two--The Duets Thread on: November 13, 2020, 09:09:04 AM
Hall&Oates should join, it's good duet band.

Yep, Lil St. Nick is year-round classic. 3D Hey I'm fine, thanks. 2 cats, didn't decide to get next cat...yet.😺 Would be cool. Give squeeze-hug to Tanner Tabby. Who did you vote, btw? Biden? Trump? Jorgensen? Smb. else? Who really took victory? It's puzzling, everybody say different results.

Hello Elizabeth. How's you?

People at FB whine that they got Christmas music playing right now. Roll Eyes Seriously?? Lucky they!!! C'mon, Christmas songs can be played at summer too, it's whole year fun!!! 3D

People like that really weird me out. *facepalm*
15  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The John Lennon Peace, Love, and Appreciation Thread on: October 10, 2020, 07:57:25 AM
Meh, listened to the other John material - really not sth. I really-really like. I must really-really like music to appreciate the artist. Otherwise hey what's the point right? I kinda get why people like "Instant Karma", it's got nice beat, & accessible stuff like "Beautiful Boy" which ain't favorite but listening to it with John fan ears, i.e. as John fan would hear it, I gather why it's really favored, Paul f.ex. said it's his fave John song in youtube interview.
16  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The John Lennon Peace, Love, and Appreciation Thread on: September 30, 2020, 06:20:05 PM
Walls & Bridges is next discussion at Beatles.ru, i.e. finished hearing Mind Games, then next listened to W&B. As with MG, single song in it I knew previously - "Steel & Glass". Back then, would give it 0. Today, it's little better. Speaking of, W&B is little better than MG. It's groovy. Track rating 0 to 5:

1. "Going Down On Love" - 3
2. "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night" - 2
3. "Old Dirt Road" - 0,5
4. "What You Got" - 3
5. "Bless You" - 2
6. "Scared" - 2,5
7. "#9 Dream" - 1
8. "Surprise Surprise (Sweet Bird Of Paradox)" - 3,5
9. "Steel & Glass" - 1
10. "Beef Jerky" - 3
11. "Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down & Out)" - 2
12. "Ya Ya" - 2,5

At Beatles.ru, nearly everybody's best track is "Nobody Loves" which didn't get just 5 but 5+, 5++. To these ears, it's best in different version beginning with whistle.
17  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The John Lennon Peace, Love, and Appreciation Thread on: September 29, 2020, 04:04:00 PM

Hello everybody. How's you all been?  Smiley Forget everytime that Smiley's got the best smileys.  3D Stay healthy Billy. Puzzled that people here even rmbr me. Usually nobody cares about things I write, ha. Anyhoo, thanks to be interested about this poster. Sweet. I been at FB, frequenting it many times a day. It's been joy there, got many likes (in the fave FB group to boot, dedicated to the fave What's My Line TV game), cool discussions, cat pics, SF pics page, general California pages etc. Really eventful, it's difficult to keep up with funness at FB, new 20-50 posts in few hrs' matter. It's little annoying to smb. who likes to keep track of everything; good appetite about it, you see.

Such poise & elegance, he sits beautifully & gazes beautifully at back.

24  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Sandbox thread for insignificant chit-chat on: June 17, 2020, 05:26:50 AM
