What Are You Listening To? (Part IV) 2020

The music is different but the dance doesn’t look dissimilar to Rockabilly which we used to go every Sunday and do years ago… That was in Melbourne though.

More than willing to take a trip across to TX or LA (the USA has always been on my bucket list) but not sure when international travel will be back to normal in these crazy times. I know what zydeco is but no idea what gumbo or crawfish taste like. I don’t even know what gumbo is! Might have to go and google it. I do know what cajun hot sauce tastes like though :yum:.

While I’m googling what gumbo is I might look to see if there’s any dance clubs in Perth that specialise in the rockabilly/zydeco style. Might be a big ask considering it’s a niche sort of dance style (at least here in Aust) but I’ll have a crack anyways. Cheers mate.

classic gillan after deep purple
the lyrics to this are pretty funny

I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet it
You’ll go to Hell they smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
But I was happy living wild
And fueling my own desires
I was a wild man
Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
Lots of women
No, not swimming, women

I wanna go to Heaven
The place to be is right up there
I wanna go to Heaven
It’s gonna be good so I won’t despair

I decided to reform and pray
Beg mercy for my soul
I prayed in church
Threw away my bad habits
Prayed out of church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave my money to the poor until I was poor
But at least I ensured that I would go up there
Instead of down below to the Inferno
Where the evil flames of desire
Burned higher and higher and higher

I’m gonna go to Heaven
Paid my dues so I’m getting in
I’m gonna go to Heaven
It’s looking good if I abstain from sin

I knocked on the pearly gates
Neatly side-stepping the long queue
Waved hi to St. Peter
Who checked my card and let me through
I smiled, threw my hands in the air
Laughed and got arrested
They said hey man, you’re in the wrong place
Your behaviour is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour, on the hour
Read extracts from the Bible and look solemn’
What, says I, no party?
No party?
Let me out

Let me out of Heaven
I got it wrong, no I can’t stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Let me out, I just can’t stay here

Well I ran around in the state of shock and panic
This wan’t what I expected
Here was what looked like a bunch of manic depressives
Can I get a transfer, I screamed
But no, once you’re in Heaven, you’re here for good
The good of your soul, but that’s no good for me
If you want to go to Hell you’ve really got to be bad
Okay, okay, I’ll be bad
Too late
What do you mean too late
Too late
No
In the meantime

Let me out of Heaven
I’ve got it wrong, no I can’t stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Oh God, it’s awful here
Going crazy in Heaven
Take me out and let me go to hell
No laughing in Heaven
Don’t laugh, this place is Hell

always dug this live version of lazy to
lol, i was at a deep purple concert in oz in 2001 when a few of my mates got in the maddest scrummage for paice’s drum sticks when he threw them into the crowd.
It went for about half an hour with about 30 dudes fighting to get and keep a hand on either of the two sticks.
They were punching and biting each others hands, it was classic.
In the end 3 of my mates teamed up and managed to win one stick.
One snuck it up his shirt and the other two corralled him off lol.
We sat at home later that night having a sesh laughing about it.
Their arms, fingers and knuckles etc were bruised black and blue and had gashes everywhere.
Especially the guy that ended up with it.
I remember i couldnt believe how bowed the stick was paice hit them so hard.
