Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

cheesy.gifclap2.gif With Thailand in my mind these lines are pure gold.

Anyway, sometimes this comes to my mind.

Love Is A Long Road




2 songs come immediately to mind.

Orgasm Addict by the Buzzcocks

and

The North Will Rise Again by Mark E Smith & the Fall.

Girls, all I really want is girls
And in the morning, it's girls
'Cause in the evening, it's girls

I like the way that they walk
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make them smile

Lola.

The Kinks. Great song from Ray Davies.

Sorry already mentioned

Love is Blindness.

Jack White or U2

The ultimate Thailand song, dedicated to all the ex barrow boys who have now re-invented themselves as property pimps or financial adivsors, the dreamers with their CELTA who now pass themselves off as Ajarn Kru, the ex SAS GW 1&2 vets found propping up Cheap Charlie bars on Soi BuaKaow in Patts.

It does not get any more accurate than this.....sung by Elton, written By Bernie Taupin

Sweet Painted Lady.....

I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned
If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright
So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
chorus:
Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game
(repeat chorus)
Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

And a brilliant line that Sums it up for the Thai.s

If i hadn,t seen such riches , i could live with being poor...from James, Sit Down..

Some great contributions there ... thumbsup.gif

I know it's obviously filmed in Bangkok ... I still kind of like it after all these years.

The sound quality seems better in the Vimeo version though ... http://vimeo.com/61644041

who let the dogs out

well i think of the song home by michael bubble not about dogs

"Some Songs were written with Thailand in Mind!"

And some with Thai farang in mind.

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?


You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and...

The Stones - You can't always get what you want !!

My favorite:

DOING THE BOOM BOOM by Leo reisman (1929)

But then there are many songs on youtube with the words "Boom Boom" in the title.

Funny about that

Recently saw a young Thai child leading what appeared to be his extremely drunk father down the road by the hand.

An old song immediately came to mind...

Papa ooh Mow Mow, Papa ooh Mow Mow.....

Dip Dip Dip!

Dip Dip Dip!

Dip Dip Dip!
