October 9, 200618 yr Thanks Linz This track is great :o Sound very like the Streets ^_^ I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a link is available B)
October 9, 200618 yr 80s I was obsessed by a track by the Mitchell Brothers called ‘Routine Check’ and also a big fan of Mike Skinner of The Streets and what he does over records, be it rapping or poetry. Its very similar to Ian Dury’s stuff to me, Im also a big fan of his, he was the first white British rapper. I’ve always always wanted to be a rapper, I’ve always been jealous of rappers because of how comfy they are and how cool they look, they’ve always got a tracksuit on and trainers and I have to dress up cos Im a popstar… I want to be a rapper but the world won’t let me. The only reason I have craved my own niche is because it is not that easy. I love words and will continue to use them. It is bitter sweet about a decade where I formed an opinion, I was wrong.
October 9, 200618 yr The lyrics thanks to http://shootingpeople.org/robbiewilliams/trackdownload.php THE 80's I smoke Consulate and Park Drive Drank Newcy Brown, learned how to skive Polo mints to hide my breath from my Mum Did a little weed 'cause it felt like fun Did a little speed if my friends had some Nicked Volkswagon badges, I'm a Beastie Boys son Me so horny, me so young, and I still get my washing done Auntie Jo died of cancer, God didn't have an answer Rhythm was a dancer, any room for a chancer That's me in the corner, thanks Sir Wore a Troop track suit, British Knights shoes Kangol hat like L.L. Cools Before I was having it, having it large They nicked the B.M.X. from out my garage And I knew it was Tire from off the estate 'Cause every time I saw him he smiled like we were mates From then on in, I'd have to walk to me Nan's and I'll dream my dreams for a sea of prams Like a hooligan on the football stands and I threw the V's to Leeds and West Ham And then I ran, I ran so far away Down Scotia Road to a taxi bay Then I ran again 'cause I couldn't pay Young Muslim didn't get his fare that day I apologise today Things look better when they start That's how the 80's broke my heart And who are you calling poof You like Wham, man I hate that stuff And then my Granddad died and left a hole in the family And lots of women there to nanny me School was a laugh, they didn't have A.D.D Thick was the term they used for me Over and over, repeatedly, over and over Take my breathe away, pass the bidley bidley bidley bidley bong Pass it on the left hand side Right turn, Clyde That girl in the fourth year got pregnant She was raised Catholic, brilliant I cried, she cried, we cried Her youth died Drank cider in the cemetery The year above us had discovered 'E' And I said it weren't for me Twelve pounds fifty I could rob my mum's purse and buy one off Chalky Met a girl on Monday, drank fizzy pop on Tuesday Fingered her on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday Dumped by Sunday Things look better when they start That's how the 80's broke my heart The wonder years I've played my part That's how the 80's broke my heart I lost my virginity to a girl called Anne-Marie Well, she said she fancied me And then she said "**** me" and I thought **** me And I'm all talk and it'll be over too quickly And it was but I couldn't care less I'd seen a girl's part, made a mess on her dress Oh yes, you're now rocking with the best Second person in my year that had seen a breast I'm in my 30s now and I'm still impressed Why the Falklands Mum, and what have they done Where do girls come, where do girls come from, where do girls come from It's the 80's what you looking at, you mong So young, so long, so young, so long Too short, so long What you looking at, you mong Too short, so long, too short, so long So long
October 9, 200618 yr This song has some of the best lyrics he has ever written. He is a bloody lyrical genius :lol:
October 9, 200618 yr Make a film for Robbie Williams Robbie Williams is inviting independent filmmakers to provide a film for his track "The 80's" on his new album Rudebox. The winner, chosen by Williams and other industry greats will win a £7500 prize, with a further prize of £7500 for the winning film as voted by the public. Enter before13 November at www.robbiewilliams.com/rudeboxshorts [09 Oct 2006 15:45] or Robbie invites you to entertain him with your short film Robbie Williams is collaborating with independent filmmakers to create seven original short films using the tracks from his new album Rudebox. He wants you to provide the eighth http://www.creativematch.co.uk/cmnw/images/robbie300.jpg Robbie Williams is inviting independent filmmakers to provide the eighth short film for his track The 80's from his new album Rudebox. The winner, chosen by Robbie Williams, other industry greats including Lord Putnam and the public, will win a £7,500 prize. There is a further prize of £7,500 for the winning film as voted by the public. Robbie says he is "delighted" to be supporting independent film talent with an opportunity like this competition, which is a collaboration between RobbieWilliams.com and Shooting People. "This is the record I've always wanted to make. It's reignited how I think about what I can do with music myself, 'Rudebox' was done in a guerrilla way, no plan of action, it just evolved into what it is naturally," says Robbie. "That's what I like about film today and why I wanted to do this project and competition. Just like in music, you can create a masterpiece out of an i-book and some digital footage, as much as you can in a fancy studio. That's how 'The 80s' began life itself, in my bedroom in LA with my friend Jerry messing around on my Mac. I'm very excited to see what the film makers can come up with." How you choose to create your film is entirely up to you!. It can be as straightforward or as complicated as you like using dialogue, sound design, or simply the track on its own. To enter you need to register with Shooting People , where you can download The 80's track and get more information on how to enter. They are also offering use of the crew/cast and other contracts they provide on the site. The deadline for entries is November 13. Visit http://shootingpeople.org/ for more information

October 9, 200618 yr The best song me thinks :smoke: The lyrics are just pure genius :D Anyone who wants a direct link let me know and I will pm you :D
October 9, 200618 yr I'm just listening song... :wacko: It's melodic and maybe with good lyrics, but you all in here know that I don't love (read hate rap), so I don't know what to think about The 80's... :unsure: I never tought that I'll must to listen rap... <_< I love Robbie, and if it is rap I will try to listen it, but just because of he's previous stuff... -_- Btw. Scotty send me PM with link, please! :)
October 9, 200618 yr I don't like Rob rapping either Nada. I find his rapping on Rudebox embarrassing :lol: My Culture rapping was brilliant and the 80's is pure genius imo. It's not the same as te Rudebox type of rapping at all. It's much easier to listen to due to the brilliant melody. Well imo anyway :D
October 9, 200618 yr Yep, this is true. It's different kind of rap. Not like in Rudebox. But I think Rudebox grown on me, and The 80's still not... :) And I think here is even more rap, than in Rudebox... :rolleyes: Anyway, the point is, that I like songs where artist can prove his vocal ability, and none of new songs aren't like this... :(
October 9, 200618 yr Oh God help us all. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Guess I won't be playing this CD when my mam is in the car. :lol:
