Download only. ;) This will be climbing into the top 2 at least next week.

Oo right :o I thought it had been physically released this week as well

If it sells more than 35k she could be at No.1 next Sunday

I thought Milian would do it. I now like 'Crazy' (this always happens to me with surprise hits) so I'm not fussed what happens.

Well she's at #2 now and not far behind, come ON Sandi! :angry:

i dont get it.... punk rockers didnt wear flowers in their hair :lol:

 

" 77 and 69 revolution was in the air "..... erm no.... it was '67, by '69 things had lost much of its inpetus (the hippy thing) and hippies were moving on..

 

so i find it irritating, i cant abide the past being (incorrectly) re-written by some kid!

Trust you to be all factual about it. :P

 

It's a nice song, a bit generic, but nice nonetheless, i'm rooting because I HATE Gnarls. :lol:

Agreed, she's just so consciously trying to say "oh, look at me, aren't I so kooky like Tori or Alanis...."...

 

So contrived, she's not even on Avril Laveigne's level...

 

This c**p is the unfortunate side-effect of the success of K T Tunstall.....

But wouldn't you prefer it over Gnarls? :o

i certainly dont kelz... sorry, gnarls aint the best #1 ever, but hes far from the worst, and this ill-conceived track is far from being as good.

I'm just sick of Gnarls, I don't really like her either, but I detest Gnarls. :(

But wouldn't you prefer it over Gnarls? :o

 

Frankly, no. I'm not overly keen on the actual single version of it (sounds a bit too second rate Massive Attack...), but the live version he did when it came across as being all 60s soul/motown was quite impressive......

 

But it's nothing new, it's just the same old R&B drivel, and even you said he came across as 60's/Motown which means he's copying someone else. :arrr:

i love this song.

 

Maybe she did the lyrics like this to show that she doesnt know much about that era, which is a reason for her wanting to back and be a part :D

I agree, the live version of Crazy is fantastic.

 

That Sandi Thom song is annoying. If it's meant to be a joke then fine, but a punk rocker with flowers in her hair? As someone on teletext said today "I imagine a punk rock girl would have vomit and spit in her hair". :lol:

 

And can someone tell me why only being able to communicate by posting a letter is a good thing? Doesn't the stupid cow know that without the internet she wouldn't have got signed in the first place?

"Crazy" doesn't irritate me, "Wish I Was A Punk Rocker...." does, that's how I gauge it....

 

And can someone tell me why only being able to communicate by posting a letter is a good thing? Doesn't the stupid cow know that without the internet she wouldn't have got signed in the first place?

 

It's not even factually correct, they did have telephones in the 1970s, so writing a letter was not the only way to communicate...... :lol: :lol:

 

Good point though, she only got known because of the Internet, a clear case of biting the hand that feeds if ever there was one.... :lol:

but kelz hun, them female warblers that you are so keen on aint anything new either! :)

" 77 and 69 revolution was in the air "..... erm no.... it was '67, by '69 things had lost much of its impetus (the hippy thing) and hippies were moving on..

 

 

Umm, let see - I think YOU are the one who is factually incorrect.

 

1967 was all about the Hippie Peace movement. But by 1969 things had taken a more violent turn.

 

1968 saw the assassination of Martin Luther King & Robert Kennedy and LBJ was replaced as the President of America by (the "most wicked President in our history" - Rolling Stone magazine © April2006) Richard Nixon.

 

Richard Nixon brought in conscription "the Draft" to call up young Americans to fight in the hated Vietnam War. This led to the start of the student "Moratorium" movement to protest against this atrocity which makes the War in Iraq look totally justified in comparison. In 1969 there were over 500 different demonstrations in student campuses within the United States. The largest gathering was at Woodstock (just outside of New York) where over 400,000 people turned up for this peace/anti-war three day music festival.

 

As for "Revolution in the air" - what about all these anti-war songs that were US Top20 Hits between late 1968 & early 1970:

 

Revolution - The Beatles

Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones

People Got To Get Free - The Rascals

Ball Of Confusion - The Temptations

Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Games People Play - Joe South

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town - Kenny Rogers & First Edition

In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans

Leaving On A Jet Plane - Peter Paul & Mary

See Me, Feel Me (We're Not Gonna Take It) - The Who

War - Edwin Starr

 

Finally if the song is rubbish then how come Will Young, Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) & Robbie Williams have all chosen this track as their future hit on the Orange Playlist Music programme.

 

While at the Ivor Novello awards this week - Ray Davies (the Kinks), Pete Townsend (the Who) & Guy Chambers (ex-World Party & Robbie Williams, now in demand as a top songwriter) all hailed this single on Radio2's coverage of the event.

 

All do you know more about music than all these people? :D

 

And as Sandi on her website has said, the songs lyrics should be taken metaphorically not literally.

 

 

I have to say - I was wondering what punk rockers Sandi had ever seen wearing flowers in their hair.

 

Gob and soap morelike.....

those quoted tracks were largely anti vietnam songs, true that the late 70's saw alot of social unrest, but by 69 flowers in your hair was all but obsolete. ok i was 10 in 67, so wasnt part of the movement, true i wasnt there first hand but 67 was the year of flowers... revolution didnt square with hippies (flower wearers) peacefull ideology.

 

some little girl warbling metaphorically or not about something that happend long before her birth just doesnt sit right with me... despite the endorsement of some greats (davies/townsend) i reserve my judgement on the track. after all, do we live by others perceptions?...no! :)
