You've gotta love this song!!! Not only that finally men seem to be subjected to skin-revealing sexy objects (or subjects) instead of women, but the way it is expressed really appeals to my humour. It makes me smile every single time I watch it.
"I'm grateful for having seen Frente in a concert."
Do you recognize this lyric?
Every time I think of you I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
Or perhaps this video will refresh your memory?
Well there is a huge chance you don't even know Frente. Vincent had never heard of this band before, neither did his cousin Joanne and friend Aurélie who were in Bali at the time. But I grew up loving this song and this simple Australian band during my teenage period. So when Aliki told me that they were having a concert with no admission fee at W Hotel Seminyak, I went there with Vincent and the guests.
The lead vocal was not how I remembered her. But it's been 17 years or so since I heard from them the last time and I am not that naive teenage girl, either. But they still sounded fabulous and I was absolutely grateful I could have that chance to see them perform live. They brought back memories. :)
The following are the photos I took during their concert.
"I'm grateful for having attended La Fete de la Musique held by Alliance Française."
Vincent was not going because there were only girls from his office going to this event. But I'm going anyway because I promised Audrey I would.
But apparently Antida was so far away from Kerobokan! Took me about an hour to get there. Anyway it was nice. It seemed like a reunion for me. I met my classmates, Vincent's workmates, the wives of Vincent's workmates and my funny teacher Monsieur Putu. The music, however, was not really for me. Most featured rock or heavy metal, which Balinese seemed to really, really love. I actually think the best performance was the contemporary style of Kecak Dance. It was super funny and entertaining, with most dancers clap on their bodies to make the sounds. There was hardly any instrument used but that body-clapping, though at the end there were some bamboos that were hit on the floor consistently that produced such beautiful sounds together with the body clapping and the tongue clapping. I wish I had the video camera with me. But here is the picture I took of them.
The coolest Kecak Dance I've ever seen
Later that night, children started to get tired from running everywhere. And this particular cute young lady was falling asleep on her brother's knee.
"I'm grateful that Scotty McCreery wins the American Idol Season 10."
Okay, he was not the first contestant I wanted to win badly. But he was one of my favorites. I still wished Casey had won the whole thing, or Haley. But hey, this is an idol contest. Not everyone has the same taste and not everyone understands and appreciates their music. Still, all in all, I think this season has the best contestants ever. They are very different and they stand out in what they do. I really enjoyed watching every American Idol show this year. And I was not alone watching it. Vincent never missed a show either! He'd go back home early from work so that he could watch it in time. And he was proud that Scotty won. He already liked him since they just arrived in Hollywood. :)
Anyway, well done, Scotty!
Alors on d... (X3) Qui dit étude dit travail, Qui dit taf te dit les thunes, Qui dit argent dit dépenses, Qui dit crédit dit créance, Qui dit dette te dit huissier, Oui dit assis dans la merde. Qui dit Amour dit les gosses, Dit toujours et dit divorce. Qui dit proches te dis deuils car les problèmes ne viennent pas seul. Qui dit crise te dis monde dit famine dit tiers- monde. Qui dit fatigue dit réveille encore sourd de la veille, Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes. Alors on danse... (X9) Et la tu t'dis que c'est fini car pire que ça ce serait la mort. Qu'en tu crois enfin que tu t'en sors quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore! Ecstasy dis problème les problèmes ou bien la musique. Ca t'prends les trips ca te prends la tête et puis tu prie pour que ça s'arrête. Mais c'est ton corps c'est pas le ciel alors tu t'bouche plus les oreilles. Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ca persiste... Alors on chante Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala, Alors on chante Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala Alors on chante (x2) Et puis seulement quand c'est fini, alors on danse. Alors on danse (x7) Et ben y en a encore (X5)
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas please
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
[Chorus:]
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
[Chorus]
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
