leigh white Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Rivers of babylon, grated my ears when it came on a pub jukebox in the 70s, then somebody put on the flipside, and played Brown girl in the ring, which made me walk out, leaving my drink. I have never heard such bilge, i can listen to a lot of music, but that made me puke, how that record got to No 1, is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he thinking of? Sorry Bolty, bet your fellow Aussies must have been cringing. Don't apologise mate. Never heard it down here. Trust me, the fooking Aussies would twist it all around and the headlines would scream something like 'Sorry Poms plagiarise Aussie icon music'. You want to hear the hype and bullsh1t they put in the media about our cricketers. Headlines of 'Stresscothick' etc have been followed by ' The rest of the players are sitting up all night in their Adelaide hotel rooms with the lights on and crying for their mums' I sincerely hope we belt the cocky fookers. Unlikely but not completely out of the question. 2-1 either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just occurred to me that an old Burnden song was a tune to Boney M's Mary's Boy Child. Went something like... Hark now here, the Burnden (or Bolton) sing The <insert opposition> ran away And we will sing forever more Because of Saturday Or have I gone mad....? I'm a bit musically inept.

Nope JJ - it's a Christmas Carol (or are you taking the p1ss?). Those nasty subversive fookers from Boney M plagiarised it. One of the worst 'bands 'ever.

I think you will find that Johnny Mathis (aka The African Queen) recorded it far earlier than Boney M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
