Purple!

Smoooooke On The Waaaater! Yeah, (apparently) that was the song playing on my Windows Media Player while I was selecting the colour scheme for this blog. Smoke ain't purple and neither is water but the name of the band which recorded that song is Deep Purple so I chose the colour purple. Iconic guitar riff on that one too. 0, 3, 5! 0, 3, 6, 5! 0, 3, 5! 3, 0! Play that on your G string. I mean the guitar's G string. Ok, forget it.

Ok, the colour scheme does seem to suggest that I'm being somewhat "gay" or tripping on shrooms like a hippie. Kinda takes you back in time to the 60s. Oooh, brilliant idea just popped up in my head. I will make a mental note to myself that all photos that appear in this blog shall be negatives. Meaning they will be in black and white. RETE-RO.

Hope you guys like the mambo, ska and somewhat quirky tunes on the player currently. First song on the list is Do You Wanna by The Kooks. "I know you wanna make love to me!" I suggest you don't attempt to even if you really want to. Dire consequences shall follow those who choose to ignore that warning.

Next on the list is Papa Loves Mambo by Perry Como. I doubt that anybody has ever heard of him. All I know is that he is an old bird now. This song was featured in a Nike advertisement during the 2002 FIFA World Cup if my memory serves me right. Part of the OLE campaign. Brazil vs Portugal. Referee tackles Ronaldinho. Great stuff.

Last on the list is Sell Out by Reel Big Fish. It's a very old song and it is the first ever song from the Ska genre that got to me. I personally like the lyrics, "spend all your money" that appears in the song. I came across this song while playing FIFA 2000 on my Playstation. That was years ago. It plays when you go onto the Transfers screen. It's amazing how I can remember these little, unimportant parts of my life and forget yesterday's homework. Life's a mystery.

Oh yeah, I would like it if you guys tell me your blog url-s via the tagboard. Just say "hi" or whatever you wanna say and include a link. It will be much appreciated.

I thought I saw my guitar move on it's own. Weird. Maybe I'm sleepy. Maybe all this purple isn't doing me a world of good or...

Maybe I'm craaaazy
Maybe I'm craaaazy
Maybe I'm craaaazy
Just like yoooouuu...

It's the chorus from Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. Yea, that fat guy.
