May 26, 200619 yr PlanetSound's review: Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) What's stopping you? Insipid anti-war song so vacuous one starts to think genocide is preferable. Makes Katie Melua look like Patti Smith and is annoyingly hard to get out of your head - I suspect brainwashing is involved. 4/10 :D

May 29, 200619 yr Which one? I closed it myself, the parody one ;) If ANYONE wants to know WHY, just read the bloody thread because I gave my reasons
May 29, 200619 yr Well there was nothing wrong with it considering her own fans were actually laughing at it just like the ancient vid I posted in the forum itself. :blink:

Horrendous Americanised c**p that it is.... We don't put a "letter in the mail" in this country, we put in "in the post"...... <_<
May 30, 200619 yr i dont think it's that bad.. Oh, it is... It's the worst type of fakey, wannabe '67 Haight-Ashbury Hippie c**p that I've heard in a very long time.....
May 30, 200619 yr Horrendous Americanised c**p that it is.... We don't put a "letter in the mail" in this country, we put in "in the post"...... <_< Uh...Americanised is what Sandi ISN'T - she was born in Banff, in Scotland, and moved south to Tooting some time around the time she was 18. And letter in the mail was probably used to keep a rhyme...

And letter in the mail was probably used to keep a rhyme... I didn't say she was American, I said the song was Americanised, as in it's purely been written in order to appeal to the American market, and it does sound very American...... She couldn't find a word to rhyme with 'post'.....? Then she needs to get a rhyming dictionary or a Thesaurus....
May 30, 200619 yr No, she didn't write the song to appeal to the American market, and mail was written to rhyme with something, not as the first word - mail was written to rhyme with 'pale'.
May 30, 200619 yr No, she didn't write the song to appeal to the American market, You'll have to forgive me if i don't exactly believe that.... It sounds like bad 60s San Francisco Hippy sh!t....
May 30, 200619 yr wasnt the hippies the 70's ? :P i think the song is alright, but it's not something im going to go crazy over, she has a great voice, she just needs to use it to make a better song
May 30, 200619 yr Hippies were definitely more associated with the sixties and rightly or wrongly with Bob Dylan's music. I'm thinking mid-sixties. Scott Mackenzie's song includes something about wearing flowers in their hair and definitely mentions San Francisco. Sorry, Matty. I must've been typing when you posted.

May 30, 200619 yr wasnt the hippies the 70's ? :P No, the late 60s, although I can understand your confusion considering this stupid little bint is getting her decades crossed up and confusing everyone who's under the age of 21..... Hippies and Flowers in hair - 1967/68 Punks and safety pins - 1977-79 Scott MacKenzie wrote the song "San Francisco" in '67, which has the lines - IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO/BE SURE TO WEAR/SOME FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR.... California, San Francisco, Psychadelia and Haight-Ashbury are the things that define the Hippie movement... Sod all to do with Punk, which came almost a decade later (and yes, I do know about bands such as The Stooges, MC5, etc, but they've only been defined as 'Punk' in retrospect by music journalists....)
May 31, 200619 yr wasnt the hippies the 70's ? :P the main hippy movement was mid 60's, 66, 7, 8.... as with every youth culture though the fashion hung about for years after the main breakthrough.. hippy fashions were still popular in the late 70's and into the 80's even 90's in decreasing numbers. punk too for eg , the fashions inspired by punk (real punk) are still around even today..
