By the very well known group, OMC

Regular reader will know that......

Even better............ regular readers will TELL YOU that I sometimes publish lyrics of songs on 2oceansvibe (that's where you are now). Very true, I do. And today is one of those days. I have felt compelled to give you these lyrics for quite some time. You see, I only choose songs that I myself want to know about and, because you are a part of me, you want to know them too.

Today, I give you 'How Bizarre' by the one hit wonders, OMC. I know you want to know the words. You never QUITE knew what they were talking about. But don't fear - this is our gift to you. And for further insight I will tell you that OMC stands for 'Otara Millionaires Club'. I know, I'm a wealth of knowledge.

And now... :

Nothing short of hilarious

Brother Pele's in the back, sweet Zina's in the front
Cruisin' down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice booming, "Please step out onto the line"
Pele preaches words of comfort, Zina just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades, "Is that a Chevy '69?"

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Destination unknown, as we pull in for some gas
Freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the past
Elephants and acrobats, lions snakes monkey
Pele speaks "righteous," Sister Zina says "funky"

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh, baby (Ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (It's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around (Everytime I look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Ring master steps out and says "the elephants left town"
People jump and jive, but the clowns have stuck around
TV news and camera, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"
We're making moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy and headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights...

How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre

Ooh, baby (Ooh, baby)
It's making me crazy (It's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around (Everytime I look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Radical.

As an aside, I must make mention of the fact that I sang 'Simply the best' by Tina Turner at Dizzy's karaoke night in Camps Bay tonight. I've decided to be the "Tina Turner guy". I want to create an enigma of sorts.

What am I doing drinking and singing Tina Turner on a Tuesday night? (it's a joke, mum, I was fast asleep - I just like to pretend). It's worrying times like these that I turn to my friends and ask the question, "Where the fuck are all the parents?". How can we POSSIBLY be let loose like this?

Ok, that's enough. Beddie byes....



There is a good chance that next Tuesday will feature 'Private Dancer'.

"All the men come in these places".........

God, it's a beaut.
