Musical thoughts

Read my sisters Blog and she was listing a few songs that, before she knew English, was singing in some kind of weird Swenglish, well it wasn't even Swedish, it was just weird words.
It really made me laugh and I thought of a few songs that I STILL to this day, just can't sing in "proper English" but revert back to what seems to be an undiscovered African Native language or something.

The Bangles. This one's not too bad as I was probably a bit older when I "learnt" the lyrics...
Manic Monday goes like this:
---
Hatta get an aeroplane, gatta get to work at night
And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it at night

S'just another manic money
wish it was sunny
thats not funny
ana wanna runna *some mumbling*
Yaazzzaa nada maaaanic monnney

Then there's the fabulous Michael Jackson song:
Da-di-Da-Jänna
Da-di-Da-Jänna
Noooo
Da-di-Da-Jänna
(Yes, my dear folks, its Dirty Diana)

And why Michael Jackson was singing about a Librarian I will never understand?
Well, he was always a bit Wacko I guess... "Librarian Giiiiiirl, you came and you changed my life."
What, how??? Here Michael, read this book, it will change your life...?! Or something?

I went through a period when I was very young (it has to be said) when I liked "Heavy Metal".
Like Depeche Mode... (?)
In my diary (have kept diarys ever since I was 7 years old, and still do to this day) when I was about 12 maybe, can't remember, the entry on page 36 says (in Swedish though)
- By the way, I LOVE HEAVY METAL, especially Depeche Mode.
I wonder what Martin Gore would say about my liberal labelling of their music...
Anyway, the ONLY song I had heard with them was "Mastin and Seven" (Master and Servant...)

Letsay mastin an seven
Letsay mastin and seven
Its a lo - Its a lo - Its a lo - Its a lo - Light Life
Maaaaastin an Seven

Another classic is one that I am sure my sister can fully relate to.
It was a tape recorder cassette with a page-3 model on the cover, with the title "Lektyr"
Lektyr is (or was) one of the main porn-mags of the time.
I don't even want to know where that tape came from...and please forgive me for not putting my suspicions down here...but most probably it came in a magazine as a freebie-promotion thing.
Christ!
And this tape falls into the hands of 11 year old me and 9 year old sister Sara.
Too young and stupid to understand there is a slut on the cover!

So we play the tape over and over and over in our little rattly tape recorder and sing-a-long to the *great* songs. I can't so much remember the songs though, as the voice in between the songs. This very strange and somewhat scary voice was saying things like:
- Don't miss out on the next issue of Lektyr, the magazine that gives you what YOU want.
- With more ladies acting out your fantasies ...oh yeaaaah
and so on.
And as kids do, we sang along to the songs and then repeated the words that they were saying in between. We knew the whole tape off by heart!!
I have no idea if my mum and dad know we even HAD this tape. God knows.
No wonder they've now got two tall blonde daughters with extremely dirty minds! Haha
