Re: Team top40.nl

You had expectations with the Dizzy Man's swimsuits, mevrouw Kleine Zeemeermin?
Did you have a wink peek cool at their LP Luctor Et Emergo? (larger picture)

When you say "Great intro for Carol Beer: Never thought of all those Pensioners' Mercedeses!!! laughing", could you be a bit more specific? I am a tad confused and do not quite understand your remark. Or rather, at all. devilish

So let's see what Carol Beer is undergoing at her job. It seems that her colleague Anthony is leaving, which is saddening. Let's rewind the tape to 22:43 and watch this episode (that lasts only 67 seconds).
Transcription:
"To remain competitive, banks now offer a wide range of services, including loans, insurance and, for a small fee, they'll make love to your wife."
(A) Yeah, that's Perry Keen.
(A) I'll call him back.
(A) Hey! Not interrupting anything, are we?
(CB quits staring and turns her head to Anthony, slowly, in silence)
(A) I heard you went to Prague. Did you have a nice time?
(CB shrugs her shoulders)
(A) Right. Er, well you know it's my leaving due on Thursday.
(CB) Oh, yeah?
(A) Yeah, and er, we're all gonna go bowling and then have a bite afterwards at Bella Pasta.
(CB) Oh, lovely.
(A) Yes, so we wondered if you fancied coming, 'cause we need to put the table.
(CB starts typing)
(CB) Computer says Will Melanie be there?
(A) Yeah, yeah, she's coming.
(CB, typing)
(CB) Computer says no.
(CB coughs towards Anthony)
(A) Right.
(A) But if you change your mind, then er …
(A opens the door and leaves)
(CB, gazing, while the door closes) I love you.

It seems a bit odd to me what just happened there. Did Anthony tell a white lie? Is something devastating taking place in the next episode? Or has it already happened? Is the world falling apart and coming to an end for Carol?

Music
It doesn't matter how your memory for music is, you will be taken there anyway if you follow my directions. biggrin
This twentieth day of July will take us to a fairly recent chart, that one of 20-07-2013 with a new entry at number 16: Martin Garrix -- Animals. Do you prefer a symphonic version? I've found this one.
This text is from his YouTube channel: "Martin has become one of electronic dance music’s youngest superstars, amassing a chart-topping, high-streaming musical legacy along the way. Leaping 36 places to #4 of the DJ Mag Top 100 charts in 2014, (…) His 2013 debut Animals went to No. 1 in the UK, a true crossover track that was created with nothing more than the dancefloor in mind. He quickly embraced his appeal to the wider world, collaborating with megastars like Tiësto, Avicii and Usher. (…) The synergy between his studio and live shows is undeniable, and has propelled him to the #1 spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs Poll for 2016, just three years on from the release of his debut single as an unknown." If we're looking at the current DJ Mag's Top 100 of DJs, he's still at no. 1. (DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs Poll is the world's leading DJ Poll and currently attracts a large number of voters per year and an estimated 10 million people viewing the result of poll when published)
In today's digital age I slightly prefer this sleeve:

blushing Yes. My expectations were high - and were disappointed. My bad.
My psychologist gave me one - just one - useful piece of advice:
Make sure to have realistic expectations!
No, I didn't know about this picture, and blushing it turns out didn't have my expectations too high blushing when I KLiKed your link tongue
It’s sort of the ’Illustrated Sports Swimsuit Edition for Mermaids’

In the Netherlands you may have another term for these shopping bags on wheels
which are large enough to hold all the bargains of the week in one go.
In Denmark we call them ’Pensionist Mercedes’
Well, I had never thought of these Mercedeses being a receptacle for Tessa’s bags.
I’m reluctant to take up the idea as well.
I don’t care all that much for the idea of putting it in the poor man’ hat either.
(CB, gazing, while the door closes) I love you.
thinking I thought something was brewing between the two of them …
I really hope they will find each other … No doubt it will make Carol Been Beer a totally different woman
– and Anthony is such a nice and kind fellow who seems full of patience and tolerance … we’ll see.
Did Anthony tell a white lie?
I don’t think so.
I believe Anthony is honest. He’s in love, but has a hard time saying it in plain words.
Music
It doesn't matter how your memory for music is, you will be taken there anyway if you follow my directions. biggrin
Wonderful! That’s how I like it. I gladly follow one who knows what he’s talking about.
Yes, I do. I think the slightly oriental touch of the Istanbul orchestra is just what this piece of music needs.
It takes you directly to the Sea of Tranquility

Re: Team top40.nl

I looked it up; they are sometimes called shoppers (which is confusing, since that could mean many things to me), but I also found this name: boodschappentrolley
Boodschappen doen = to do/buy groceries
boodschap = errand/message/purchase/mission
So, boodschappentrolley loosely translates as 'trolley used for doing groceries'. smile

Carol Beer
To begin with, there are important developments:
"Carol Beer has left her job at the bank and is now delighting customers at this travel agency in a new town, Sponge Bob Squarepants."
Here's the link with transcription. (If you're thrown off by the strange language (it's Hungarian), try this link.)

Isn't it captivating to capture the fact that Carol knows that Disney World is in Florida? (Really, I didn't know; call me other-worldly.)

Music
Yesterday we talked about Animals. Today we will name (a prehistorical) one. Twenty Øne Piløts decided on this 21st day of July that we should travel in a kayak.
Does this sound like gobbledygook? Yes, of course. But these are hints. biggrin (Apart from the '21 pilots' part - which is just the particular coincidental name of a group with the number 21 in it.)
Let's quickly start again.
We're picking the chart of 21-07-1973 and see a new entry at number 20: Albatross by Fleetwood Mac. Yes, there's an animal in the title. And perhaps you could make a kayak from fleetwood (is it some kind of wood confused )? It isn't a prehistorical animal though. So, we're moving on to the next new entry, which is at number 24: Kayak -- Mammoth. Now that's a prehistorical animal! cool
You don't get to hear many street organs in a pop song. This one is Perlee's Flamingo. A better version of the clip, soundwise, may be found here. It was Kayak's second hit. Their first single was "Lyrics".

When the record company finally decided to release Mammoth, they demanded to have the song shortened (and so it happened, from five to just 2½ minutes). Then the idea of adding a street organ came up, but the wheeled musical instrument was too big to ride into the recording studio. Microphones were connected outside and recording was started. However, there was a problem with the slow (musical) starting speed of the organ, so that recording inside and outside didn't get properly synchronized. Later, after the final recording was made, it wasn't that bad. biggrin Interesting fact to be found/heard in the melody is the bassguitar-solo at the beginning of the song, playing a complete downward scale. (Source: Wikipedia)

A live performance of Kayak with Mammoth (45 years and one week ago) with a photo of the street organ can be found here.

Added: Street organ Flamingo - do you recognize the second song? (Buona Sera)

And finally, the sleeve of Kayak's vinyl single:

Re: Team top40.nl

Do you know the joke about two fellows who went to a World Cup Football Match in Berlin?
They met Carol Beer!
"Britain can proudly boast the dirtiest beaches, the most disappointing views and some of the flattest hills in the world."
If you wonder what Carol says at 1:23, it is "Das Computer gespracht nein". It sounds like German, it looks like German, but then it isn't German. According to Google Translate she should have said "Der Computer sagt nein".

At this 22nd day of July we will have a view at the chart of 22-07-1978. There's a new entry at number 23: The Abdul Hassan Orchestra -- Arabian Affair with belly dancer Yonina. If you want to see some more action, then we can zoom into the motion picture. You want still motion? Okay:
I don't know if it can get anything less (the motion, that is).
Let's end with the sleeve of the vinyl single:

That’s what I call factual! Don’t you give things nicknames in the Netherlands?
Like Berlin’s ’Pregnant Oyster’? Or Danish for a VW Beetle: ’Asphalt Bubble’?
Twenty Øne Piløts
– sounds exactly as the Swedish Cook in the Muppets

I like how you build a zoo chain with your music – well, kayak travel is not something you do from day to day
– just ask our co-cruncher luckypants.
But it cannot be much harder than
stepping from a soaring albatross onto a furry elephant in the Siberian tundra and grip your best flamingo feathers devilish

Oh, street organ – it reminds me of this little boy who was totally absorbed in the music emitted from a huge street organ on wheels in the Keukenhof tulip park; those pink laced shoes danced.

Now, Carol Beer sad
Small wonder that she wants to ship this little family to Zimbabwe –
alternatively let them parachute into Disney World from a flight bound for Cuba.
Yes, you are otherworldly, Captain adriverhoef. This is the easy part –
Geography
Disneyland is in Orange County, California, but they saw a market in Florida as well
– and in France!
- you better see your therapist about the rest, tsk tsk tsk
- must be the after effects of that bag of c tsk tsk tsk

Back Carol Beer:
Humppff! not talking Hungarian! Ha! Problem was I never got to practice my Hungarian on that trek!
The reason why Carol Beer cannot book this little family the trip to see ’a man in a suit’
- with perfectly rounded ears I need to add
is of course jealousy!
Across from her is Anthony! Love Lost Forever … sad
Cough, cough, where’s my coughing syrup ..? and my handkerchief?
And some Kleenex, too, please … crying

Sorry to be behind – but a frigate named Peder Skram scrambled my schedule

Forgot to answer. Yes, naturalmente I do, mainly with Dino Martino. Prego, perché?

Re: Team top40.nl

cowboy Thank you Captain adriverhoef; still practicing those lumbar vertebras.
In my chador blushing

Now Carol Beer is just about getting evil with Anthony .... punching below the waist so to speak.
What can we do about that? thinking
Buy her a correspondence course in German?
Send her to belly dance school?
What would you suggest as a reeducation measure?
