How the hell is that show popular?  It's so bad, it seems like a prank pulled on the American public by the Fox network.  I read that Paul McCartney is now asking the producers for his songs to be sung on the show.  Why?  WHY???!

Money.

Glee songs sell hundreds of thousands of copies on iTunes each week. That's the only way to get them, and it's pure profit. The people who get covered get a big cut, and the station gets the rest. If I had to guess, the actors get nothing - they likely gave up rights to the stuff they sing in their contracts, just for the chance to be on TV.

My parents are currently preoccupied with ancestry research. I teased them a bit saying it's pointless, because it all goes back to Charlemagne anyway.

It took them four or five months, but they found the link. And that link is Goethe.

I've been planning to get into ancestry research as well Per. I know I am linked with primarily Irish and German blood; I plan to find out how closely WE are related. 

 

[LooseCannon]

Cousins!

 

[Deano]

I'm thinking it's a possiblity.

It took me 10 years, but I found it

Can -Animal Waves -11 years
Smokie -Who the fuck is Alice -13 years

 

[Deano]

Congratulations! 10 year search huh?

 

[____no5]

Yeap! Not so seriously as the other two, but I wanted to have it. And I like a lot the video 

 

[Deano]

It's a good video.

Muhammad Ali clip

 

[Deano]

Ali is amazingly fun to watch. I got to see an entire replay of the "Thrilla in Manila" a few months ago + clips of all the hype leading up to it.

I'm trying to find the video where Lamotta throws Sugar Ray Robinson out of the ring, impossible to be found.

 

[Deano]

Probably not impossible, just might take 10 years. 

 

[____no5]

Ah yes, like this... of course! Impossible is nothing

Smokie -Who the fuck is Alice -13 years

Is that not Roy Chubby Brown?

 

[____no5]

My respects, with a praise, sir!

According to en.wiki, he had the idea of putting the 'who the fuck is'
Then the Irish audiences adopted the who the fuck is Alice, and singing it after the chorus, so Smokie decided to make a cover version featuring Roy Chubby Brown.
But in any case the original original version, comes from the Australian 70s vocal trio, New World -just learned that!!

What I was searching for 13 years, was the 'fuck' Smokie version.

 

[Albie]

I didn't watch the vid, but I remember that song quite well.

 

[____no5]

Yeap, difficult to forget that one 

 

[Deano]

Your depths of musical experience never cease to amaze me _______no5!

 

[____no5]

Thanks, but this 'knowledge' comes from wikipedia. In fact, is Albie who's to be praised here (I already did it, new target is now set to 400  )
