Anyone know this song from the 90s? I don't remember lyrics enough to search.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

There's a man voice AND a woman voice. In the chorus (I think it's the chorus) the woman seems to be singing "Boy, Johnny boy, Johnny boy..." then comes the man, singing something like "I get no doubt! (something unintelligible with 10 to 15 syllables that rhymes with "without")"

Any clues?

45. That song reminds me of my first couple of weeks at college....

....and things like Princess Di's death and the Marlins winning the World Series.


How things quickly went to shit that freshman year after those first couple of weeks, but that's a whole other story that I don't really care to get into.

6. "I get knocked down..."

"but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down"

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. Thank you folks! Being a furrinah sucks sometimes.

"Danny boy" became "Johnny boy."

"Knocked down" became "No doubt."

Geez.

[leftyclimber]

10. Don't feel too bad. I learned it on vacation in England

while I was living in Canada. And the words are really hard to understand even for a native English speaker. :)

And you probably know all sorts of cool songs we Yanks are clueless about.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Why, yes, in fact, here's one for you.

14. And here's some more.

20. OMG both of these are tremendous. (The Hawaiian Engineers? ROFL)

What little Portuguese I understand is continental (I'm a Spanish-speaker who was "adopted" by a family from the Azores) so I'm missing a good chunk of the lyrics, but between what I grasp and the musicality of it I am completely entranced.

Off to find downloads for my .mp3 player.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am always open to more. ;)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. Their lyrics are even more whimsical than their name. Perhaps I'll translate.

But not today... it's late, and I only have mental energy enough to do searchs and post links. ;)

[leftyclimber]

24. Fair enough. Thank you for the musical gift. nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. One bit of info.

All of these songs are from the 80s or, at most, early 90s. It was the pinnacle of pop-rock in Brazil. Ah, good times.

I'm old. :(

[leftyclimber]

28. I don't care what time period music is from.

I care that I enjoy it. I genuinely appreciate the musical gift. :hug:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. But wait, there's more! I found a kickass recent one. Look below.

I'm on a roll. I can't stop. I love having the opportunity to show people that Brazilian music isn't only samba and bossa nova.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. And some more.

25. What a BEAUTIFUL voice. nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. This one is utterly delicious.

The lyrics consists largely of a listing of the best beaches in Brazil. This is actually some random family bunch of friends who decided to post their vacation photos as a YouTube video.

23. This band is QUITE obscure, even down here.

Metrô. All-girl band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yqD5eR8BwY

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. More. This one got a recent cover, but I think the original (this) is better.

Does this guy have a cool name or what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UT93H5PRAA

[leftyclimber]

32. Thank you so much for this generous gift.

Our music is so limited here in the States. It's important to bring the rest of the world into our cultural game, as we ultimately are one. I really appreciate you taking the time to give us these clips.

:hug:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

31. Kickass recent one. 2002.

But -- surprise surprise -- it's from a band from the 80s that's still around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RppLAa-2gbw

[leftyclimber]

34. Dang, I'd go to one of their shows.

Every one of these clips is a gem. Thank you again. I really cannot thank you enough.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

37. Thank me by passing it on.

I'm doing the cultural ambassador thing here.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

33. And now for something completely different.

This was the opening theme for a Brazilian soap, and yes it's a rock band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7EvtFxFucE

[leftyclimber]

36. Very Gilberto/Bossa Nova rhythm, but with some tango in there as well.

I can definitely hear Gilberto's rhythmic influence, with Astor Piazzola chords. Nifty.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

40. This guy was a member of the band in #18 and spun off his own band.

With limited success, but he did land a hit or two, including http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOKo9XgKNT4

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. Teen angst in extreme.

This is a song to listen to when you're 19 and your girlfriend has just dumped you.

Red Days

Today dawn didn't break
And I saw nothing
Or did I want to see nothing?
Not even the summer afternoons
They were no longer red
Like those of long ago

And how many times did I catch myself
Walking toward your arms
I got lost and tripped
Confused in my own steps

How many days will still come
Without us becoming steel?
We waited for flowers
To grow from the asphalt
Dust and acid

And how many times did I go wrong
Looking at the past
I got lost and tripped
Confused in my own steps

And how many times did I catch myself
Walking toward your arms
I got lost and tripped
Confused in my own steps

OK, that's enough for today. Nighty night.

[ogneopasno]

11. Well, I'll have that one in my head all night.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. I know.

:grr:




Pissing the night away...

[PeaceNikki]

16. I LOL'd

Just cuz I can hear you singing your interpretation of the lyrics with a Brazilian accent. :D

And, as others have said, thanks for the earworm! x(

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. I nearly posted a rendition on a site in which you ask people for such things.

watzatsong.com.

A busted mic in my headset saved me from the embarassment. So I decided to post here.

[Inchworm]

17. That song pulled me through a time

and kept me in it at the same time.

Hehe.

:D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. oops

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

38. I posted the link and then saw where the second post gave you

the answer. Always liked that song. Nice horns in it.

[CreekDog]

39. You get no doubt?

that's funny. i never have. :shrug:




















:rofl:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. Jesus FUCK, I still have to make a conscious effort to hear "knocked down" instead of "no doubt."

What the hell? :crazy:

[PfcHammer]

43. LOL. Secret Asian Man.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

44. Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

[Arugula Latte]
