Question- CHRISTMAS Song?

[Station Master]

oh man, those are killer, LOL

i should get my nephew on this, i don't understand a word he says, he wears both his cap and pants backwards! lol

i think the album cover is the LEAST
of "our" worries!

[LSH]

ok, with the "expert"'s advice, I'm going for the most rapper/gangsta sounding ones.
WEST COAST lol
I'll pick five and let others pick the rest or shoot mine down
1) In My M.O. (modus operandi jj)
2) Canary Yellow Cadillac
3) Dream Street Ho's
4) 24 Karat Bling
5) Bay Area Bound

[or if we can't have "ho's" in there, we'll take Bitter Green (No More Bammer)]

[LSH]

ps jj DON'T CHANGE THE NAME! SNOOP GORDD is the best..snoop dogg is very laid back, so it's perfect...

Any more info about this?

I beleive the song is called
"The Wish" and was on a christmas CD that came out in Canada about 7 years ago with various artist from around canada singing different songs.

[johnfowles]

Ok I was going to content myself with a trio of of rapping hits
Rapping Silver Cloud Blues
Rapping In My Sleep
Rap Among The Ruins
pretty tame stuff so I a'googled for rap hits and found a site giving the lyrics (if you can call them that)
of the top 20 rap songs of 2003 amongst which I found
the lyrics to Read My Mind by Avant which contains these relevant gems
I can read your mind, babe (Oh)
My truck is parked out front, so let’s ride
So baby, take a ride with me
It’s alright (With me, yeah, yeah)
and although not directly Gord related but I liked the great literary merit of this stanza
"I know you wanna see, I know you wanna be
In my B-E-D grindin’ slowly"
there was also
Artist: Jay-z
Song Title: Dirt off your shoulder lyrics
as I suspected many of the songs contain really disgusting lyrics
and one must not forget in the circumstances
Jimmy Ate World's great song "my sundown"
which has the immortal line
"Good goodbye tin sunshine."
and hey on the Jewish album you forgot Wailing Walls
and i noted from
the official list of the most requested Hip Hop and Rap hits of all time
number one is tada tada
1. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
and I liked
18. Take It To da House - Trick Daddy
and
26. Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince

that's it folks

Okay my eyes are peeing, and my stomach muscles are having cramps.

[BILLW]

Funny stuff guys but how about posting a glossary so us old white guys can follow along, LOL.

Bill

[jj]

i posted the glossary/reference site ablove, billw

i got Cotton 'Jenny' & Wild 'Strawberry' from there, yikes

see parents, what an educational site this is

[LSH]

Well, Bill, "Bammer" is also known as Bama, which is marijuana...shake, the crappy stuff, not the good stuff (or so I've heard). The "5-0" is the popo, or the police. A "ho" is a...well, a lady of the night. I'm assuming you know what a rumble is. Let's see, what else was there...? I already explained bling, I assume anyone whose ever drank beer knows what a "forty" is. I also believe "pimp daddy" is self explanatory...
boy, I'm glad I kept this relatively clean..you shoulda seen what we had for Early Morning Rain...

oh, and Sheryl? Doin Susan on The Floor gets my vote!! ROFL

actually, in my imagination it's even more bizarre
...i actually see Laurel and Hardy, lol

well, you creative folks need to come up with CD#2 of "Duets"



[This message has been edited by jj (edited December 09, 2004).]

[johnfowles]

OK a few more thoughts I am relieved to see that for his latest creation the superb "duets" CD Jiminy has realised that most
CD jewel cases have both a font and back insert so he needs to rethink the earlier three. Also now there are a complete 4-CD
box set's worth you need a box front and back. The front could be an adaptation of the original and very eye-catching (read
good for sales) "Santa Lightfoot" design with the addition of something like "Gordon Lightfoot's Festive Collection--songs
yule love to singalong to-Something for every family and every family member". We have the songs for a Winter's Night for the
adults the rapper CD for the teenagers. but nothing for the children therefore possibly an extra fifth CD could be a children's
compilation any ideas anyone. On the main "Christmas" CD there should be at least one token carol I nominate "I saw three
Passing Ships".I note that so far the rap CD has omitted Gord's own 'The Auctioneer" and from another topic The Telephone
Directory ("Toronto 411") and the Alphabet (providing it is entitled from "A to Zed")
Finally for those of benefit of non Hebrew reading gentiles a translation of the text on the Chanuka CD would be most
helpful
John Fowles
P.S. Jim all but the last two duets jpgs haver now it seems "time expired" and no longer appear. If you'd like to email them to me I'll upload them to my own web site and send you the urls OK?

[saradreams]

UGH! I can't see the rap and duets covers.

My 5 (plus 1) picks for the rap CD are

Ecstacy Scored Easy
Doin' Susan on the Floor (HAHAHAHA)
Early Mo'nin' Raid
The Crib You Be Livin' In
In My M O
Dream Street Ho's

Only 3 suggestions for the duets CD..don't know if they've already been taken, though.

Walls - Martha Stewart
I'll Do Anything - Barry Bonds
Cold Hands From New York - Hillary Clinton

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

ok, a translation for the Chanukah CD. The songs were: Oy, Linda, Brisket City, Blackberry Whine, Redwood Hillel, Daylight Zadie, Me & Bubbie McGree, I Used to be a Yiddische Singer, The Sukkah is Small.... right? O.K. Translation: I guess everyone knows that "Oy" is just a word to express frustration, more like 'Oh.' Brisket is easy, it's a cut of meat a lot of Jewish women cook for many holidays (I know I do), on the Blackberry Whine one... well, we all know the Jewish Princess jokes.... and we know what "whine" means... I copied this to explain who Hillel was:
Rabbi Hillel was born to a wealthy family in Babylonia, but came to Jerusalem without the financial support of his family and supported himself as a woodcutter. It is said that he lived in such great poverty that he was sometimes unable to pay the admission fee to study Torah, and because of him that fee was abolished. He was known for his kindness, his gentleness, and his concern for humanity. One of his most famous sayings, recorded in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers, a tractate of the Mishnah), is "If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?" The Hillel organization, a network of Jewish college student organizations, is named for him. O.K., Zadie is Yiddish for grandpa, Bubbie is Yiddish for grandma, Yiddische... is obvious (F.Y.I., Fanny Brice started out as a Yiddish singer (singing Jewish songs), then hit it big on Broadway in the mainstream), and, finally, a sukkah is a 3-sided temporary structure most Jews build in the Fall to celebrate the harvest: one more explaination: the Feast of Tabernacles, Feast of Booths, is one of the oldest and most joyous of Jewish holidays, called in the Bible the Feast of Ingathering and today often called by its Hebrew name, Sukkoth [Heb.,=booth]. The holiday lasts for eight days (seven days in Israel). The Feast of Tabernacles, which marked the closing of the harvest season for the Jews of ancient Palestine, is today celebrated by the taking of all meals in a lightly constructed booth roofed with thatch (a sukkah) to recall the shelters of the Jews when they wandered in the wilderness
Also, I've included a link to a site where some common Yiddish words are explained. I see some misspellings, but, who cares?!! http://www.bergen.org/AAST/Projects/...sh/comwor.html

After I posted my last message I realised that there is a problem with the picture uploading site:- http://hostmyfile.net
that I had introduced Jimmy to as it has a finite storage limit and seems somewhat unreliable as the first three CD pix he
had displayed no longer appear (as saradreams just discovered so it's not just my computer/hook-up. Fortunteluy I had saved them to my hard drive and have now uploaded them on a permanent basis
to my own web site so the four can now be linked to there as shown below




Jim if you wish to edit your original posting to use my site's URLs, be my guest
Better still man get to grips with your own (sympatico.ca) web space. (To a man as adept as you are at manipulating images sorting out their system should be chicken feed

P.S. Great explanation Sheryl but what do the actual Hebrew hieroglyphics (correct spelling I looked it up in my UK dictionary) translate as
P.P.S.I have never heard of that christmas song "The Wish" by Gord or anybody else for that matter

John, I'm working on the translation. Unfortunately, I never learned to read Hebrew (those are Hebrew letters), and although I asked my husband, he only learned to read it with the little dots (vowels), so, we're kinda stumped. When my daughter comes home from school, we're going to ask her and we'll let you know!
