A Spaceman Came Travelling
Posted by Stick on 12 December 2011 - 6:39am.
In these times of crisis and despair, and especially at Christmas, we must take comfort in the words of the eponymous Spaceman (aka the angel Gabriel) in Chris de Burgh's 1976 hit A Spaceman Came Travelling, and his vitally important message for the world:
LA LA-LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA,
LA LA-LA LA LA LA LA,
LA LA-LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA,
LA LA LA.

Yes, but as Tom Waits pointed out 4 years later...
Sha la la sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la sha la la la
Sha la la la.
Mind you, he was in love with a Jersey Girl at the time.
Lie la lie
Lie la lie lie lie la lie
Lie la lie
Lie la lie lie lie la lie la la la la lie
As Ali said to Foreman, shortly before knocking him out in the 8th round.
"now it's your turn girl to cry...
...na na-na na na-na, na-na na na-na, na na-na na na-na, na-na na na-na"
Journey resort to the playground taunt
Wise words indeed.
Although the ladies of African-American descent would (probably) go:
Doo-doo-da-doo, Doo-da-doo-doo-doo-da-doo, Doo-da-doo-doo-doo-da-doo....
But then our new German overlords would add
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
Da Da Da
I hate that song
That is all.
All I can say to you is...
... doo doo doo, dah dah dah.
Do, do, do
the funky gibbon.

Van Morrison - "Madame George"
"And the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves to love the love that loves to love the love that loves."
Well said, O Most Curmudgeonly One.
Oh, Van!
Such happy memories. Do you remember when we used to sing:
"Sha la la la la la la la la la la de da"?
Just like that.
