Van Basten II Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 A reason, i took time before i warmed up to Beach Boys music was because of this song Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Jamaica Off the florida keys Theres a place called kokomo Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all Bodies in the sand Tropical drink melting in your hand Well be falling in love To the rhythm of a steel drum band Down in kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo Well get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo To martinique, that monserrat mystique Well put out to sea And well perfect our chemistry By and by well defy a little bit of gravity Afternoon delight Cocktails and moonlit nights That dreamy look in your eye Give me a tropical contact high Way down in kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo Well get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse Everybody knows A little place like kokomo Now if you wanna go And get away from it all Go down to kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo Well get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo Quote
Big Al Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Lennons Imagine (shudder) I am SO glad I'm not the only one who can't stand this song. Quote
Big Al Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Afternoon delight Cocktails and moonlit nights That dreamy look in your eye Give me a tropical contact high Way down in kokomo You know things have gone terribly wrong when the Beach Boys are trying to give a sly nod to the Starland Vocal Band.

Royal Oak Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) The entire recorded output of Robbie Williams is a shocking omission IMO: Eg My breath smells of a thousand fags And when I dance I look like me dad I'm starting to dress a bit like him. And early morning when I wake up I look like Kiss but without the make-up And that's a good line to take it to the bridge. That's an example of his work when he had a songwriter; his own stuff is even worse. Unfortunately I can't bring it to mind, as I turn him off immediately whenever I hear it on the radio.

BruceH Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 She loves you Yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you Yeah, yeah, yeah She loves you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You think you've lost your love Well I saw her yesterday It's you she's thinking of And she told me what to say... (Actually, come to think of it, I kind of like that.) Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Posted June 22, 2008 Not the worst song in the world, perhaps, but I'll explain why I'm adding it after the lyrics... Can you make it easier for me to understand How you're holdin' my heart In your tremblin' hands I say rise to meet me halfway up among the stars You may be from Venus, but I'm definitely not from Mars You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down What's the commotion? I'm an island, but you're an ocean It's a stormy sea of love and emotion You've got me suspended motionless inside Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do If I could do it, I could turn it to you I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me Nothin' in my life ever came with a guarantee You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down What's the commotion? I'm an island, but you're an ocean It's a stormy sea of love and emotion You've got me suspended motionless inside I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me Nothin' in my life ever came with a guarantee You're an ocean, you're an ocean Settle down, settle down What's the commotion? I'm an island, but you're an ocean It's a stormy sea of love and emotion You've got me suspended motionless inside You've got me suspended motionless You've got me suspended motionless inside. This song has regular play on the recorded tape loop at work. The more I heard it, the more the vocals sounded like Elvis Costello. No, I thought; it can't be...it's just too stupid! Well, I finally got up the nerve to check on google, and it's not. Sorry to doubt you, McManus... Whew! Quote

Well, I finally got up the nerve to check on google, and it's not. Sorry to doubt you, McManus... Whew! I just checked. This song is by a group called Fastball. I remember them having a few hits (don't think I ever heard this one) back in the late 90s and the lead singer DID sound uncannily like EC. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Posted June 22, 2008 Well, you're a fellow Costello fan, Alexander; you can imagine how I felt thinking he could have written that dreck! Quote
Alexander Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 Well, you're a fellow Costello fan, Alexander; you can imagine how I felt thinking he could have written that dreck! Indeed! I had similar feeling when Fastball's first single hit. Quote
