Lazylacers' Musical Friday Compilation

Last week on Lazylaces Musical Friday I asked for you to send in your musical links with a Friday vibe to share with us all, and some of you were kind enough to submit some for me to post. So I'm posting some of them here today for you all to share, apologies if I don't include yours, I either didn't have enough space, thought it was awful (and not in a comical way that would amuse us all), or I just plain lost it in amongst all my other millions of emails... anyway...

First up is Fat Boy Slim's Weapon of Choice, featuring the superb dancing talents of Christopher Walken, from Michelle. An oldy (on the internet time moves fast), but a goody, that I haven't listened to since the days of StickBoySlim. Watch both for "compare and contrast" fun...

"Fat Boy Slim's Weapon of Choice"

Next up EL's listening to a track I'm rather partial to myself, the rather excellently lo-fi, "Kings Of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You". Thanks for this one, I love the track, but I'd never watched the video before...nice moves:

"Kings Of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You"

Boo takes a different tack on Musical Friday with the truly awful, but disturbingly addictive, Korean rap (er... say what?), "Ice Cream," by MC Mong. It's, how shall I put it, different, and the video is, well, see for yourself:

"MC Mong's Ice Cream"

Nicola goes for safer ground, and sends out some Friday love to us all, with Belle & Sebastian's - Funny Little Frog, a band I keep meaning to listen to more of, but which somehow I keep ignoring (except for now):

"Belle & Sebastian's - Funny Little Frog"

My ears can't even comprehend what's going on with Michelle's suggestion of Yma Sumac's Gopher Mambo, but this is the kind of madness they crave on Friday... hey! mambo!:

"Yma Sumac's Gopher Mambo"

For this week Char (thanks for last week Char) recommends Justice's - D.A.N.C.E, a French electro house band, much mentioned in the British press this last couple of weeks, and as a result I'd been meaning to check them out:

"Justice's - D.A.N.C.E"

And one, non-musical, link from the irrepressible nick s the hamster, a self developed flash movie, "Bob The Atom", which has just left me scratching my head and pondering one of life's great questions... WTF?

Finally, what am I listening to this week? Well very specifically I'm listening to Bloc Party's Helicopter (Whitey version), which I have become addicted to, but the only link I can find on-line to that version is Last.fm's 30 second sample, so instead I'll include a YouTube link to the original track (hunt down the Whitey version if you can though - it's even better):

"Bloc Party's Helicopter"

BTW: For future reference if you do have a submission for Musical Friday (and they're always welcome), if you use the words "Musical Friday" either in the title or blurb of the submission it'll make things easier for me to find, and post, it. You know how lazy I am...

Thank you to everyone for providing our Lazylacers' Musical Friday Compilation soundtrack. Dance at your desk. Groove in the garden. Mambo(!) down the market. Samba on the school-yard. Letting down your hair at the end of a long hard week is the whole point of Musical Friday. I'm just a bit worried that MC Mong is the one I keep replaying... :o)

Bloc Party! Fantastic!

Maybe I'll even listen/watch those other ones too. But after Bloc Party. Way after.

Okay, so I'm liking that MC Mong song...Mostly because I know a guy who looks just like that. And it says something about ice cream.

I love MC Mong :D He's really funny too, very endearing and really had to struggle to get where he is today.

MC Mong: Catchy beat, refrain that sticks in your head, well done video, interesting storyline, beautiful girl, tragic ending....

But WHAT THE SAMHILL IS HE SAYING?!?!?!

Who's gonna translate that for us ignorant masses?

And is there hope of "getting the girl" in his next video?

MC MONG-ICE CREAM
(translation)
creds BoAjjang forums

East West South North no matter where there is no fool like you
Still I will only love you
Your heart that can easily melt, the hurt I felt MC Mong
Love is i-i-i-i-ice cream

The moment I first saw you my heart froze
The sweet scent and the steamy whispers
Hey you seducers move away
Move aside because this girl is already mine
I am so thirsty for love
My soul longs to see your face
Strongly shut, To melt your heart
I will quickly make you trust me
The night is too short, it feels wasteful to send you away
Worried that your legs might hurt, I piggyback you home
I don't care if anyone sees, because you are next to me
I will love only you
I wanna spend my whole life with you
The reason I will hurt is only when you're not mine
Every time I look at U I love you
I love you oh~ thank-you

East West South North no matter where there is no fool like you
Still I will only love you
Your heart that can easily melt, the hurt I felt MC Mong
Love is i-i-i-i-ice cream

I will love you think about you Our love that was so sweet
I will love you think about you Don't forget
forever be with you

make it hot We will make it hot
make it hot Love has been divided
The girl that was more refreshing than a strawberry
More sweeter than chocolate was her
A love that burned quickly cooled down
Trust is like an ice that quickly melts
so painfully cold and easily watered down, what exactly do you want
do you want it like that (what do you want)
Break up to make up make up to break up
you break it, then reconcile, and again reject
From the beginning it was so twisted up, our little trouble
Whoever wins or loses, you're important to me
filled with hurt MC Mong
Because you left, my body became weary
Tonight I dreamt of you and I living it up
In lonliness a guy falls, this night is too long

East West South North no matter where there is no fool like you
Still I will only love you
Your heart that can easily melt, the hurt I felt MC Mong
Love is i-i-i-i-ice cream

I will love you think about you our love that was so sweet
I will love you think about you Don't forget
forever be with you

I got your back you got my back
Every night oh~ every day
I never felt love this cold
I got your back you got my back
Every night oh~ every day
I will smile for you, I love you, I live for you

East West South North no matter where there is no fool like you
Still I will only love you
Your heart that can easily melt, the hurt I felt MC Mong
Love is i-i-i-i-ice cream
