Just an idea from another thread. This is a pretty international forum, so I wondered what artiste really makes you wish you were born somewhere else. Have a think (and try to stick to globally knowns). For every great country, there’s a John Mellenkamp.
Me? I had a bad time when a friend in Chicago said “Wow! You’re from the same country as Phil Collins! Isn’t that great?” Er,…

Blimey Lee, you’re quite serious about defending Morten and Co, aren’t you? His “The Sun Always Shines from my Cheeks” isn’t such a great song; no more than Pet Shop Boys “It’s a Sin”, but I will admit (apologize if you absolutely insist 😛 ) that A-Ha were no worse than, say, Duran Duran in output terms. And “Durren Durren” (copyright, Tony Blackburn, 1981) did a couple of OKs.
Both did “Bond Themes”, even, but The Living Daylights isn’t all that great either. I’ll claw back my A-Ha sneer on the basis of “The Blood that Moves the Body”, and Bunty – ’cause she was fit.

Congrats on the “groupie”, Tim. Ironically, awarded after you mentioned sharing the sweat-sack with a well-known drummer – I feel a “views expressed here in no way reflect the ops of guitarsite” disclaimer coming on 😆
Keep posting; might force a namechange to bassguitarsite if we get quorum; even Lee’s spunked cash on a Thunderbird and Ashdown. Before you know it, you’ll get to Lead Virtuoso and can pester Mike (as I did) for something more appropriate.
Cross-threading to “crack-up lyrics” but Mrs Bass was fond of “Final Countdown” but she’s a bit naive. Every time I heard the line “We’re heading for Venus/ But still we’re not there”… I loudly sang “I’m sucking your…”
Weeks later, she woke me up and said “just heard it on breakfast radio, it doesn’t say that at all.” You think I’m making it up, but she really did.
EDIT: What part of Scandinavia were “Europe” from? Do they top “A-Ha” and “Whigfield” (or even “Aqua”?) in the “ashamed of your country stakes?

Trevor Horn, that dipstick from ‘Buggles’ and the cringer of a single ‘Video killed the radio star’ the worst song, the worst name for a band, the worst video for a song, the worst looking front man ever, the worst pair of glasses ive ever seen, Reg Holdsworth specials, Surely Trev is something to really cringe about, i would like to appologise to the world for the Buggles brief and painfull chart success. 😡

Blimey, I did wonder what Phil Collins was doing for duvet-sharing since Mrs Collins ran off with the painter-and-decorator 😯 .
ps, another forum I typed in on had such a thing that even the Japanese valve/tube manufacturer “Matsushita” came out as “Matsu****a” and “Scunthorpe” became “S****horpe” but “crappy” just sailed through. Can’t be a word that has the mid-West reaching for the 2nd constitution, I suppose. Like “shag” – and I must must pop that up on the other “crack up lyrics” thread.
