| 'I have a dream' that'I will survive' my exams even though 'everything I wanted' to know by tonight I emphatically do not. When 'I get around' to revising for my Pol 4 will it be 'easy'? When my DoS told me I should work harder 'He was really saying something' but I just didn't 'think'. Now though I've got 'nowhere to run'. I suppose 'there are worse things I could do' and at least I'm not 'uptight' about my revision etc. I know as soon as I finish my exams there'll be a 'heatwave' and I'll be 'dancing in the street' or on the Backs at any rate where we'll all feel 'the warmth of the sun'. If it rains though I hope I find 'shelter from the storm'.
The Bumps at least will go well and we'll earn lots of 'respect' even if my exams will be 'better best forgotten'. It's not a 'tragedy' after all though I'm not sure my nuclear dropout excuse will hold much 'sway' with the dean's committee. Then there will be the dinner (which will be on a 'saturday night'). We'll all 'walk right back' to the WPR where 'one of us' at least will find 'everlasting love' and we'll all enjoy lots of funky tunes. Hopefully there'll be no 'murder on the dance floor' but if the guys take their shirts off it's a distinct possibility. I think we'll all say 'thank you for the music' to Dan before going to bed. | ||

| No for Dr Demento - too hard to mix and dance to.
How about "My Name is Frank Butcher"? | ||

In my single scull said: Some pretty impressive cheese there, but I think you've over looked the Village people classic:
In the Navy. Clearly appropriate and also cheesy.
"I'm ready for the Eighties" (YMCA and Macho Man would be too obvious) How about Dr. Demento and 'Star Trekkin'? | ||

Rick Asley: Never Gonna give you up Pj and Duncan: lets get ready to rumble (watch us wreck the mike...) Jive Bunny and the master mix (i think thats the name) anything by the KLF anything by Bros anything by New Kids on the Block anything by Steps (especially Tragedy) what is quite worrying is that posess most of those poptastic hits | ||

Please can we have 'Hey Mickey' - the one by Toni Basil not the naff Lolly version? | ||

| Guaglione does give you guys an excuse for looking like twats when you dance.
Can we have Shakira? I'm keen to watch Rose singing like a twat again | ||
| ||
| by dw - Sat 25th May 2002, 4:29pm | ||
| Hmmm - I see Guy is a cheese fascist. I will endeavour to include some of those, however I'd like to point out that Guaglione is rather hard to dance to...
"My love has got no morning, he's got his strong beliefs." Classic. | ||

dw said: The Bop is in progress...
ALL the obvious tracks? I suspect not.
I have all the obvious cheese tracks in, so please supply me with more ideas. I'm sure you've thought of the novice cheese - Macarena, anything by Steps, Saturday night, Tubthumping etc. But do you have: Guaglione - Perez Prado and his Orchestra Hip to be square - Huey Lewis and the News Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners. Concrete & Clay - Unit 4 plus 2 Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison The Reflex - Duran Duran Mony Mony - Billy Idol (I hope you don't have this, it's an awful song) Sex Bomb - Tom Jones and Mousse T The First, the last, my everything - Barry White The Queen of 1964 - Neil Sedaka? Well, maybe not the last one (but very funny lyrics). And in the 'not cheese' category, can we have Free from desire - Gala (more and mooooore) and Old before I die - Robbie Williams. Some people might call these cheese I suppose, but it's about as non-cheese as I go. | ||

Everyone always moans about there being too much dance music, but I think it may just be the vocal minority. I have all the obvious cheese tracks in, so please supply me with more ideas. | ||

| You should talk to Austin Lamacroft (spelling?): I was doing a long erg and he put on one of his CD's - the dance mix sampling "Working 9 to 5" was pretty bad, but the one using parts of "Jeu le Taxi" totally finished me off!! | ||

| 1st and 3rd needs cheese! Saturday Night, the Macarena and anything by Steps, these make a bop what it is. You know I'm right.
The formula is something like this: Rower + Alcohol + post bumps high/low = Insatiable urge to dance. Also, COME TO THE DINNER cos it'll be fab. | ||

Thrashing rice romp said: In defence, I'll point out that I have never voluntarily removed my shirt at a Bop. That's Leakie's territory. On the occasion probably being recalled, it was because a certain hesitant ex-captain thought it necessary to tear it off.
To be fair, only the occupants of the shit hire car were taken in by this terrible song, hence its notable absence from the video diaryAnyway, Who Let the Dogs Out is a great tune, and has particular resonance for those who went to Canada in 2000. | ||

rowing physics 101 said: Work = force x distance.
Although of course, before anyone else points this out, rowing is much more concerned with useful work done.I.e. pull fucking hard and don't shorten up. | ||

I was indeed watching TV, as were five or six others, so please don't just have a go at me :(
Grump. Anyway, you WERE watching TV (you TV hogging person) and you weren't at Life so what's your excuse? I hope you weren't pretending to work. What am I supposed to be making excuses about ? Work - what does this word mean ? | ||
