A Pattaya theme song?

[Eric_Olthwaite 0]

If you had to choose one song that summed up your experience of Pattaya, what would it be? The old Andy Williams number "Butterfly" comes to mind, and I seem to hear The Eagles' "Desperado" everywhere I go, but for me it would have to be The Shirelles' "Will you love me tomorrow?" You know the one- "Tonight you're mine completely/You give your love so sweetly/Tonight the light of love is in your eyes/But will you love me tomorrow?" <_>

[monkeyman 1,537]

Oh shut up you boring little tit.

 

(just an in-joke, fellas <_>

 

Good choice, Eric. Can't think of a better one myself. Looks like nobody else can at the moment either.

 

be seeing you

Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) - DJ Spiller feat. Sophie Ellis Bextor

 

 

I could think of many others, but this is the most recent lovely fitting one...

 

[laffnliv 78]

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

Roy

[wombat 5]

at the risk of that lightning bolt coming through the ceiling....."hotel california".................."you can check out but you can never leave"

[laffnliv 78]

How about "Black Magic Woman"?

[CheshireTom 1,377]

Judy Tzuke's "Stay With Me Till Dawn" pretty much somes up Beer Bar life ......

 

Is this a game you're playing?

Playing with my heart

Oh stop playing with my heart

And I'll show you a sunset if you'll stay with me till dawn.

[Eneukman 1]

Some songs that come to mind are -

 

Without you

Can't help falling in love

If not you

I don't want to be alone tonight (Dr. Hook)

I'll keep you satisfied

Je t'aime

 

and many others I can't think of immediately

will you still love me tommorow

[nidnoyham 30]

Donno who did it, but I think it's called "Wasting away in Maguerita Ville" All about a guy trying to drink away his last relationship. The setting is Mexicio, but it would suit Pattaya to a tee.

 

"Some people claim, threre's a woman to blame, but I know -it's my own damn fault."

 

Just remembered one of my fave' lines-

 

Got nothing to show 'sept this brand new tattoo,

It's a real beauty, a Mexican Cutie'

Just how it got there I havn't a clue.

 

 

Always reminds me of some chaps in Pattaya, maybe me too. :crying

 

Oh yes- Stones -Honkey Tonk Women, sort of fits.

[Mescalito 19]

"Margaritaville" was done by Jimmy Buffett. Another song that comes to mind is The Eagles' "Sunset Grill", with such lyrics as . . .

 

"Let's go down to the Sunset Grill.

Watch the workin' girls go by.

Watch the basket people walk around & mumble.

Gaze out at the auburn sky."

 

as well as . . .

 

"Maybe we'll leave come springtime.

Meanwhile, have another beer".

 

My 2 cents on the matter. Or 2.2 Euros, I think.

[wombat 5]

aaaw....aint it nice to see hard bitten whoremongers showing there feminine side and getting all shmultzy............... ............better not let the feminazis see this lest we lose our reputations..................

[chico 198]

Can vary from day to day.

"Lonely lonely lonely."

"The bitch is back."

"Can't get you outta my head".

"If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me."

 

Probably the most appropriate heard in Blues Factory last night went along the lines of: "Hello hansum man, please sit down" etc etc...

 

chico, a dogs pov.

[SunnyValentine 173]

Good old Leonard Cohen probably went to Pattaya too:

 

I was born in a beauty salon

My father was a dresser of hair

My mother was a girl you could call on

When you called she was always there

 

Ah but don't go home with your hard-on

It will only drive you insane

You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown

You can't melt it down in the rain

 

I've looked behind all of the faces

That smile you down to you knees

And the lips that say, Come on, taste us

And when you try to they make you say Please

 

Ah but don't go home with your hard-on

It will only drive you insane

You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown

You can't melt it down in the rain

 

Here come's your bride with her veil on

Approach her, you wretch, if you dare

Approach her, you ape with your tail on

Once you have her she'll always be there

 

Ah but don't go home with your hard-on

It will only drive you insane

You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown

You can't melt it down in the rain

 

So I work in that same beauty salon

I'm chained to the old masquerade

The lipstick, the shadow, the silicone

I follow my father's trade

 

Ah but don't go home with your hard-on

It will only drive you insane

You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown

You can't melt it down in the rain

And for those of us who made Pattaya their new home, Leonard Cohen also has written the definitive lines:

 

I told my mother "Mother I must leave you

preserve my room but do not shed a tear

Should rumour of a shabby ending reach you

it was half my fault and half the atmosphere"

 

Sunny

[wombat 5]

Leonard Cohen also has written the definitive lines from "dress rehersal rag" LC songs of love and hate.......................that's not the electric light my friend, its your vision growing dim.

[Bazzap 92]

A couple of favorites

 

As mentioned in Neil Hutchence's book " A Fool in Paradise" from Paint Your Wagon "No Name City"

 

"Wanna see sin of the wickedest kind, here it is

You wanna see virtue left behind here it is

Sodom was vice and vica versa

You want to see where the vice is worser

Here it is I mean here it is

 

You wanna live life in the rottenest way, here it is

Women and whiskey night and day, here it is

You want embrace the golden calf

Ankle and thigh and upper half, here it is"

 

 

and my favourite, Elton John's Sweet Painted Lady fom the Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd album.

 

" We're all hunting honey with money to burn"

 

" So she lays down beside me again

My sweet painted lady the one with no name

Many have used her many still do,

Theres a place in the world for a woman like you"

 

"Oh sweet painted lady seems it always seems the same

Getting paid for being laid, guess thats the name of the game"

 

Very apt

 

Cheers

One of the cruelist songs would be The Faces -Stay With Me

 

You wont take too much persuading,

I dont mean to sound degrading'

But with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about!

 

Yeah I'll pay your cab fare home

You can even use my best cologne

Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up.

 

Don't sing that one with the Uglies if you are with a lady !

 

It is a rocking song though, one of my fave's

[Bazzap 92]

Hey nidnoyham,

 

Top song that one

 

You forgot the line

 

"in the morning dont say you love me

coz you know i'll only kick you out the door"

 

LOL

 

Cheers

i was in pattaya last week i heard this song "welcome to Thailand welcome to the land of smiles" i know it is an old song i was just wondering if anyone knows of any links on the net to find it?

Just thought of Sailor and "Glass of Champagne" "I got the money, I got the place. You got the figure, you got the face. Let's get together, the two of us over a glass of champagne."

[rockinjerry 2]

Myself being a country music singer, a friend of mine the Late Tommy Collins wrote and I would nominate, "If You Ain't Lovin, You Ain't Living."

 

This song was recorded by the late Faron Young in the 1950's and it went to # 1 on the Country Charts. It was then recorded by George Straight in the 1980's and went to # 1 also. Talk about staying power and that some things never change! 30-years apart at #1 and in the 80's the song was just as timely as in the 50's!

 

The lyrics mention If you got a Cadillac, mansion, pocket full of money, riding on a gravy train, but if you don't have a honey, then brother, "If You Ain't Lovin, You Ain't Living!"
