Jun. 29th, 2008 07:11 amThey used to show Wayne and Shuster on Malaysian television in the early 80s. I thought they were American for the longest time. For some reason, I found myself humming, then singing this on Friday (probably dying for the work day to be over), so let me inflict this on my Canadian friends. I think it's stuck in my head over the years primarily because of the then-novelty of hearing French mixed in with the English.
Well I see by the clock on the wall
That it's time to bid you one and all
Good-bye (Good-bye)
So long (So long)
Farewell (Farewell)
Adieu (Adieu)
Be good (Stay well)
Bye bye (Keep warm)
Relax (And eat)
Stay loose (Take care)
Adieu mon vieux
À la prochaine
Good-bye till when we meet again!

Jun. 21st, 2008 08:33 pmThey played a beautiful acoustic guitar version of this at Tim Russert's memorial service. If the tributes from his colleagues weren't enough to make me go woobly, this alone would have been.

Jun. 17th, 2008 10:10 pmThis song is being used as the title theme for an upcoming HBO vampire series (yeah, another one) called "True Blood", based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries books by Charlaine Harris, with Anna Paquin as the protagonist, telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse. There's a pre-air pilot (with some scenes missing) floating around the BitTorrent ether out there, for those interested. It's definitely more, um, adult than Moonlight or Blood Ties were... it's HBO, after all. Not sure what to make of it as yet: it's executive produced by Alan Ball, who created Six Feet Under. Given the fate of vampire shows lately, I think the zeitgeist has passed this genre by now.
But the song's pretty cool.
( Before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you... )

May. 27th, 2008 09:19 amA current earworm that's shown up twice in my iTunes shuffle two days running. I think I'll figure out the chords and learn it...

telynor for the recommendation. I'd heard good things about the show but never too the plunge to watch it until I bought the DVDs in London. Good stuff.
( Take a look at the lawman )
I hear David E. Kelley is doing an American version set in 1970s Los Angeles. I dread this, as I do all American remakes of good British television. There have been exceptions, but they're rare. They should have given it to Rob Thomas — then we could have had "Life On Veronica Mars". No?
I'll get my coat...
