OK... Let's Lighten Up A Little!:)

how funny and good beat. I havent heard of these bands so they must just be over there. HUgs

Yes, Bad Manners and Madness are British Bands, but I would have thought they would have spread to the States. Buster is a comedian... he makes me laugh, but sings well at the same time. xxx

Ha ha ha... it's reggae! That one wasn't by the original artist... in fact, there are some by Bad Manners on You Tube, but none of the Special Brew ones are too good. Here's another by the guy himself though... Buster Bloodvessel... great fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_N1qQZL550&feature=related I think you'll enjoy this, my friend! xxx

Yeah, the twist was good and the March of the Mods... remember that? ha ha ha. I'm going back a few years now! Just a snippet... often, at parties, the DJs used to play the Can-Can... I used to join in that and even do the splits at the end until my brother-in-law's 40th, when I did the splits at the end and caught my foot on the metal edging around the dance floor area... that ruined me for life... I tore a hamstring. Ouch!!! No more Can-Can for me, I'm afraid! I'm like you now... once I get down, there's no getting up again... I'm there for the week! ha ha ha Brightest Blessings and thank you for your input, my friend. xxx

no problem my friend , Your discussion brought back a lot of nice forgotten memories for me , xx

Good... Spring is here! We need to talk about something a little less dreary than what we've been dealing with of late. It's time to kick off our shoes and have a good old time, don't you think? I used to have to get my shoes off for Chubby Checker, ha ha ha. That's where it stopped though! tut tut! :) xxx

Oh yes, I know that one. A good one to get you up and dancing. Thank you for your input and Brightest Blessings.

I wasn't too keen on the 50s but 60s and 70s, yes. Bad Manners and Madness were probably popular from the late 70s through the 80s. I liked Elvis, but wasn't so keen on his 50s records, more the later ones. Love Me Tender and Heartbreak Hotel did nothing for me, my friend! :) I was more into songs like, "I Believe" and "Don't Cry Daddy". He certainly made some great records. We have the juke box back in the pub now, so we often put on some of those oldies and have a good old sing along. :) Thank you for your input and Brightest Blessings my dear friend. x

How about this one by Buster? Woohooooo, I love it! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6fQnTyEniM

There's oodles in YouTube including Special Brew, Lip Up Fatty, Fatty Fatty, My Girl Lollipop and It Must Be Love. I've had a fun time in there today. Ha ha ha ha ha

Attagirl! We don't have to be glum all the time. We have the capability to do something about it, my friend. Please do think of something humorous, or light. It would be a nice change. We need to get out of the Winter gloom and get on with Spring! There's something to celebrate at least. It's 6.00 a.m. here in the U.K. right now. The birds are singing, and the morning light is creeping up over the church. A brand new day... let's make it a happy-go-lucky one! Brightest Blessings, my friend and thank you for your input.

I started a fun thread, (uh hopefully it stays up). Anyways, just a simple thread. Unwind and relax. I'm having the weekend on Wednesday. Hmm... I like the ring to it.

Yes, it sounds good... I'm going over there right now, to put my contribution in. :) Brightest Blessings.

Me neither, but he does a good copy, and has a fun name, like Buster Bloodvessel. What do you think of this Bad Manners one... make you wanna get up and dance? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6fQnTyEniM&feature=related Go onnnnn... you know you want to. ha ha ha. Brightest Blessings. xxx

You've sure got a big choice there. I take it you like to dance a lot! :) Thank you for your contribution and quick response. I've cheered up a lot since listening to Buster and jiggling around a bit. ha ha ha. Brightest Blessings.

Awwwww... I hope you can soon, too, my friend. There's nothing like a good old sing and dance to get one's spirits up, but unfortunately, you have to do things the other way round. Still, want it enough, and you'll get there sooner, I feel. Then, there'll be no holding you back, and in the meantime, you can always jiggle your wheelchair around. I'll tell you a little uplifting story here. There's a guy in Burgess Hill who's been disabled all his life, and in a wheelchair. He loves pool and snooker and travels around to all the matches... even tries to play from his wheelchair. Well, the kids talked me to going to a nightclub in Burgess Hill one night, and this guy was there. We were chatting, and he told me he loves me, because I'm like his Mum. ha ha ha. Anyway, he asked me if I wanted to dance, and without thinking, I said yes, went onto the dance floor and took a hold of the arms of his chair and danced him about with my movements. He thoroughly enjoyed it... he accepts his disability and is always smiling and enjoying life. That happiness at dancing rubbed off, and several people came, one at a time, and took him over as a partner, so there's a way to every goal, my friend. I'll leave you with that thought. Thank you for your contribution and Brightest Blessings. xxxxx

Yeah, great aren't they? You were lucky to get to see them so recently. Buster apparently lost eighteen stones... it's difficult to imagine what he was like before now, without looking at old pictures. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.
