A Pattaya theme song?

[monkeyman 1,604]

How about that ole Dawn classic from the 70's "Nok Three Times"?

[monkeyman 1,604]

.....or maybe "Wee Will Rock You"?

Monkeyman, "Nok 3 times" sounds about right, and with any luck I'd still get "Nok On Wood." But, hell, "68 Guns" would be too much for any man...

[Eneukman 1]

Forgot about 10cc's classic hit - "I'm not in love"

I suppose " I wonder who's kissing her now" has popped into the heads of a few on return home

 

Mind you, kissing , is the least of your worries !

Good Wood Nokking, Monkeyman. My favorite one has still got to be, "All Rise". Me first trip to LOS they were playing it all over the place. On my last trip I had to bribe the DJ at Hard Rock to play it. Everytime he played it, I would buy him a brew. After about a sixpack, the pole huggers were ready to run me out of the place. Still have it on me puter and will have to fire it up when I get a little closer to my trip. SB

The one and only “Pattaya City Song†produced by a bar that is near and dear to our hearts. The lyrics of this "classic song" bounce through my gray matter on a daily basis.

 

Thanks to Pete for this song, as well as the awesome video.

 

The other song that comes to mind is the 1st song off of the Hysteria album by Def leppard; "Women"

 

Cheers Bill

Was listening to Londons Magic, heard Foreigner's " I want to know where love is" Just the kiddie.

 

In my life there's been heartache and pain,

don't know if I can face it again'

I've travelled so far to be just where you are, to change this lonely life,

I want to know where love is, I want you to show me.

 

 

O.K. not love exactly, but as near as you will get in this world !

On a tv programme about the 80's the other night, they had Tina Charles on who reached number 1 with "I love to love" in February 1976. - A remix re-entered the charts reaching the dizzy heights of no 67 in 1986 hence the reason she was on the 80's show

 

Also, Art Garfunkel's "I only have eyes for you".

Alan, you old romantic you !

 

If I hear someone singing that at the FLB, in a Scotts accent, they are on for a beer.

2 more songs come to mind.

"Girls, girls, girls," by Sailor.

"I wonder what she's doin' tonight," by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.

 

I like searching Pattaya for good live music.

 

chico,

[chico 210]

How about "Girl Happy" by Elvis Presley.

 

And this one;

 

"You just like me 'cos I'm good in bed." --Skyhooks

 

"You just like me 'cos I'm good in bed

Yeah that's what your girlfriend said

You just like me 'cos I give you head

You just like me 'cos I'm good in bed."

 

Goes well with "Will you love me tomorrow" mentioned at the start of the thread.

 

For those that don't know, Skyhooks was one of the top Aussie bands of the late 70's. This track from their 1975 album, "Living in the 70's."

 

cheers,

chico

I would take you up on that Nidnoyham except that I think Ben would be piling me with beer or vodka to STOP me from singing

I just realized no one's mentioned this one yet, and it's got to be a contender for Official Pattaya Theme Song:

 

Tina Turner's classic "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

[silentbob1234 0]

Here's one for the farang women: "I got along before I met you, I can get along without you now."

Roy

Either that or "I'll Be Alright Without You" by Journey

[silentbob1234 0]

I just realized no one's mentioned this one yet, and it's got to be a contender for Official Pattaya Theme Song:

 

Tina Turner's classic "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

Or "Private Dancer"

Or perhaps Prince: "Head"; "Soft & Wet"; "Do Me Baby"

The Eagles "It's another Tequila Sunrise" just about sums up my 2 weeks in Pattaya.

Add a few more:

 

 

Here's A Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares

 

I'd Rather Have A Bottle In Front Of Me Than A Frontal Lobotomy

 

If You Don't Leave Me Alone, I'll Go And Find Someone Else Who

Will

 

My John Deere Was Breaking Your Field, While Your Dear John Was

Breaking My Heart

[LBJ 533]

"Everybody Plays the Fool" for the newbies......

 

and for the vets......"I Can See Clearly Now"

My first time to Thailand (1989) the rage was “I Love Rock and Roll” by Joan Jett. TG’s dancing on bars will for ever be associated with that tune.

Anyone remember seeing a TV documentary called "The Good Woman of Bangkok"? About how an Australian journalist (Dennis O'Rourke, I think) fell for a bargirl called Aoi. I first saw it around the time I took that magical first trip to LOS back in the Eighties, and as such the accompanying music really stuck in my mind as a kind of symbol of the whole thing. Took me ages to find out it was Mozart KV583 "Vado ma Dove?" (Ooh, there's posh...) and even longer to find a recording. Searched high and low, and just as I'd about given up I saw it in a shop in Phuket. Funny old world sometimes, innit?

Some more that came to my mind:

 

Madonna: Material Girl

 

Robert Palmer: Addicted to Love

 

The Cardigans: My Favourite Game

Band Played a revised song for me.

 

I gave a band a few bhat to revise a song you all know. Instead of Hotel California the band played Welcome to the Hotel South Pattaya.

 

No one seems to get excited about this version but it works for me.
