Music From Your Country

It's funny to look back at those video...and to understand that the lyrics are sometimes not that innocent. Like with 'Barbie girl', when I was young I didn't understand the lyrics but now I thought "Oh, that's what we were singing in the playground? 'You can undress me everywhere?' "
I miss the 90's, hehe

Many, many songs are like that. For a month or two we had half the school ground (I was working) singing "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir. Voulez vous coucher avec moi" from Lady Marmelade. Felt pretty weird.

Oh yeah, I remember this one! Except french is my native langage so I actually understood that chorus, it made me giggle all the time. But when you realize what something means...yeah, pretty weird! :D
OMG!!!! I already repped you before I saw Damien Rice and The Corrs in there, too! I love them so much! I've been a big Corrs fan since I was 12 years old and "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" came out. 😀

I am from America but find myself liking a LOT of international artists. I'm a big fan of Robbie Williams, Westlife, The Spice Girls, Oasis, The Corrs, Gary Barlow, U2... When I was in high school I also listened to a lot of B*Witched for those of you who remember them. LOL I've always said I should have moved to Europe a long time ago.

OK, this fascinates me! How did you find all these bands? I mean B*Witched? LMFAO!

It just blows my mind that our twee little Irish bands got noticed in America.

Do you like Take That? Do you know Robbie just rejoined them?

Yeah, I find it really weird that she's talking about Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams like they're two separate individuals. I could wrap my head around Robbie going back to Take That and now I can't imagine him as a single artist, even though he's one of them most successful single artists we've ever had!!

A lot of stuff from Northern Ireland is really old folk-sy, country-type stuff. It's weird, lol.

Is it any wonder I call myself a country girl? lmao
 
I don't know how I forgot Snow Patrol. FYI, Lyri used to bully the lead singer! 😛

Belgian music karma, thehe!
I don't know how I forgot Snow Patrol. FYI, Lyri used to bully the lead singer! 😛

Oh, I SO did! Boy, that man HATED me! This is probably why I can't listen to his music and I forget about him. Traumatic flash backs, lol.

To be fair, though, I was a kid. Before they were Snow Patrol, they used to 'practice' in the community hall at the end of my street. We would stand outside and hurl abuse through the window, lol. I do remember them being truly awful, so I think we were justified!!

I love how you are traumatised from bullying him!

Faith complex like WOAH!

He yelled at me! I was a child and he yelled at me! LOL, I almost got hit by a car, too, when we were yelling at them. Ah, good time. 😛
 
I mean B*Witched? LMFAO!

Oh B*Witched had a good little run in the US in the late 90's. I even performed C'est La Vie in my school talent show 😱 tried to copy their dance moves and everything!
 
BECUASE YOU THREW STONES AT HIM!
*gasp* I did NOT throw stones!

I threw insults. A lot of them. Using language no eight year old should really know. I blame them for that, too, lol.

Did I make up the stones part? If so, my version is better! :D
