No, I'm not that keen on the ducks myself. Dancing in the moonlight is what I call a 'dfs track'. I can right lyrics on the hoof for leather sofas for that sort of thing. It cracks DH up. My faourite to !!!!!!!ise is modjo ' lady'. Its slimy salesman lyric paradise.

Lol. Thinking about it, the lyrics are fairly slimy as they are!

Dancing in the Moonlight was played a LOT when I was an undergrad. Takes a lot to get me off the dancefloor, but that particular song works a treat.

Just thought - 'Lady' was also played a lot during undergrad years!

They definitely weren't played in my favourite places. I did go to more than my fair share of cheesy club nights though (that is where most of my friends wanted to go).

My favourite club was literally underground, looked like it was dug into a cave. Sadly, it closed down the year after I graduated. I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with a downturn in bar takings....

Hmm....I've been to clubs were the only drink sold is water :eek::eek::o

I've not quite been anywhere like that, but there is one place I used to go to where there was pretty much zero competition at the bar. There were only ever a handful of girls too (sounds like a new collective noun!), but hardly anyone ever hassled us. Everyone was too busy with other stuff :cool:

By day it was a community centre, but once a month it morphed.

Edit: the middle para sounds a bit dodgy! It wasn't dodgy - perhaps a bit edgy (you had to go through metal detectors to get in...). Everyone was there to just enjoy the music, not to pull!

I was going to type about on the door security at the kind of clubs that only sell water but its not really edificational reading and not something I care to be associated with.

Please do n't quote these. .

Music was good though, eh

One form of music I've never got along with is jazz. It's the lack of direction to it. These people going off on one without any structure and you don't know where it's going or when it's going to end. I can physically feel myself tensing up when it's on. :eek:

One good friend really liked it and we had a standing joke going that he would put a mix of music on (pretty quietly) in the background and we'd see how long it would take me to realise there was a) music on at all, and b) it was jazz rather than something else. It did usually take me a while :rotfl:

There is someone on newsnight called Nimrod. What an awesome name!

Edit: Nimrod just tried 'raver-cise'... Looked brilliant

DH wants me to tell you not all of it doesn't have structure. E.g. Sme people consider Michael buble jazz. Or Norah jones, ray Charles ( ok...crossover) R and b is 'from' jazz.


Ok....he's talking too much now so I'm gong to type. DH is at heart a swing to hard bop player. He plays tunes you'd know and be able to follow. There is some improve, but nothing .....flights of fancy ish. Usually they are 12 bars is on a twelve bar blues and 32 bars long multiples. Improves are going to be on multiples of a chorus based on the structure of a tune.


(I hate long, mangled jazz too yorkie......I don't go to any of that. Even DH hates free jazz...there are limits to even his jazz boundaries.
