I mite give it a go one of the days and see what i come up with, it could be fun!

they can be quite fun, yes, coming up with limericks.....I should know, I've posted about 175 on another website..... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

since the middle of November.... :unsure: :unsure:

175 is alot i suppose when you do a few few they may become a little easier, or am i wrong in saying that?

They do seem to get easier, the more one comes up with them....

 

Then again, sometimes I just have them pop up in me niggin out of no-where.....

I don't know if it's rude to ask here, but I'm wondering if anyone ever covered "Shine". On record, or on the Live Lounge etc.?

 

My Mum has the Abbey Road version playing a lot in her car at the moment and I've realised I like the song, I just find Mark's vocals so annoying. :( I was just wondering if you guys knew of any other versions. :lol:

I love the Abbey Road version as you can hear more of the other vocals from Howard, Jason and Gary more than on the 'proper' version. I'm not sure anyone has covered it (you could look on Youtube for 'unofficial' ones I suppose). Other than that ... if its the tune you like .... listen to Lily Allen's Who'd Have Known (I'm loving this more and more each time I play it ... glad someone thought to put the CD in my Christmas stocking.)

AS i was one of not so fussed about the tour, i still love Up all night, more after Abbey Road version :teresa: . Yeah, it would have been helped by a visual part like the boring What is love or like any other song, i see. But i think Mark and Jason wanted to make a statement, such a pity it didn't work it out. Na ja, people just wanted from TT dances and glizzer and theatrical. Hold up a light and Said it all were helped, Patience and Up all night were not. Only when Gary takes his Elton John momentus everybody is happy also without bangs und cracks.

 

To be honest , i am not making any hopes about the new CD: The Circus was so great but everything went wrong in promotion and expectation. :angry:

Now about the covers. You can think it is very easy to cover TT. Well, it is not. Gary is hard to cover as he have his angelic voice and Mark is hard to cover because 90% of artists nowadays are not capable to put such a passion in their voices - normally the music bring the "up" and not the voices (inclusive Gary, that is why Gary is good at ballads but not so good at up-tempo songs. I cannot fugure out Gary belting the Shine...). Howard and Jason are also not so easy to cover (well, Jason would be from someone good in country-folk style). The only acceptable cover of Shine is this one:

But Shine was better on the Abbey Road CD (I much preferred it to the concert performance). Up All Night was good at the concert but to be honest ... the only ones that looked comfortable with musical instruments were Jason and Gary. It is still probably my favourite song on the album ... I was just expecting more at the concert. And it had nothing to do with there being no 'special effects' ... the song, vocally, just had no spark at all.

I can't imagine anyone else singing Take That songs other than the guys. Especially Mark ... I love his voice on the songs he sings. Mind you ... I don't like anyone other than Dylan singing Dylan songs and (apart from Joe Cocker singing WALHFMF) I can't stand anyone else singing Beatles songs other than The Beatles.

Much songs are better on Abbey Road as on tour IMO, as they show another side. THe first time i liked HDICTT, for example.

 

I am still very disspointed that they never sing We all fall down. I just love it, such a pity is just a b-side... :rolleyes:

Im not a huge fan of the abbey road stuff at all but as i said before its not the style of music i ever enjoy, i complatley agree and understand what yer saying about up all night on the tour it did lack the magic it has on the cd but i also felt it lached the spark it had when they performed on the itv show they did and the ant and dec show, i think the ant and dec performance of up all night is still my fave performance of the song.

There once was a guy with a bic,

Trying to compose a limerick,

He said with disdain,

these can be a pain,

Especially when they don't come off as schtick..... :unsure: :unsure:

Yeah, I definitely like it a bit more. The original has been so overplayed that I almost blank it out when it's played, but this one made me listen to the lyrics more. I like them, I just don't rate Mark that much anymore.

 

I'm aware of the Lily Allen song, I was sort of hoping she'd covered it somewhere too, and I couldn't find it. The Abbey Road version made me think it'd sound really nice acoustically with a female vocal, like Lily Allen, on it. It sounds so much better stripped down. (partly because it gets rid of the Morrisons ad part!)

Not the sort of cover I was looking for, it's too true to the original. :(

 

I guess there isn't one out there.

Not much going on in here then is there?

 

Norma

No its been very quiet over the last week and i have to admit i havent been here online that much at all this week.

Norma's stunned by the silence,

She heard the echo by her fence,

She let out a sigh,

Which came out as a cry,

At least there's been no violence.... :unsure: :unsure:

To stop you from becoming quite bored

An idea has just struck a chord

Please, pretty please

Start hitting your keys

And get Patience in front of the Hoard
