References within songs?

I think I'll give It's Raining Men a miss, but that song was played before Celebrations on the radio, when I had a mention for my birthday. Strangly, the song which was played straight after Celebrations was Crowded House - Weather with you.

Two songs (kindof ) related to weather.

I know I used to be able to sing a few years ago, I just havn't heard myself singing much recently (I still lack a tape recorder).

Talking of songs, I would like to dedicate this to Steven (sung to the tune of So Macho, sort of)

I don't want no seven ounce iPod
Or a phone that thinks it's a TV
I'm after a hunk of plastic
An Amiga, not an Atari ST
There ain't no way that I'll make do
With anything less than I'm used to
If I play a game tonight
It's gotta be right, right, right

*So Retro
It's got to be
So Retro
It's got to be big and beige enough
to turn me on
Its's got to have, L E D's
Not built to play D V D's
Its's got to be big and beige enough
to turn me on

I'm tired of skinny pow-er leads
I want a toy for my ga-ming needs
Something which will please and amuse me
And look good next to my tv
Now I don't mean to be personal
But a toy like that's more preferable
In my humble point of view
Than any new CPU

*Repeat
(And on, and on, and on)
Retro man
-Ooh I'm so much of a
Retro man
-Ooh I'm such a Retro Fan...
It's got to be...
*Repeat and fade

Hope you enjoy, i couldn't help myself!

Love that!

(How do I nominate something for poster of the month? EDIT - I used the submit button to add it to POTM Feb 2008. Is that correct?)

Brilliant, Steve, you have to sing it.

[Stephen Coates]

Just been listening to the So Macho song and looking at those words.

I am definately going to have to get some music and record that song.

Did you write it v85rawdeal?

[v85rawdeal]

Yes, it just clicked with the macho/retro sound.

Glad you like it

Steve, you gotta record that then we can release it on a Classicamiga Hits CD, or should I say tape - in fact your so retro it would probably be a four track!

[Stephen Coates]

As the song is retro, it would only be right to record it on a retro device, so compact cassette it is. (I don't have the facilities to record it onto anything else so I don't have much choice expect tape).

Didn't you get a sound card with your Mediator?
You can use that and HD Record.

This retro thing just passes you by doesn't it.
