Good evening, afternoon or morning, wherever you are .
This post goes to “ancient†Spanish Pop-rock. This song was released in 1966 (I wasn’t born yet ), getting a great success. This success was not only in Spain, maybe due the song is sung in English.
Cheers Wayne! I loved your post about Camille and Kennerly, playing the Lady Gaga’s song. I didn’t know them. They are really good harpists, and that version was amazing!

I hope you like it.
Hi Recaredo and Wayne, I do remember this from my college days! I didn't know it came from Spain. That means I knew a little more about Spanish pop music than I thought I did!
Nice post! I am at work, and was just getting ready to finish up for the day. I'm glad I checked in on the post.
Dudes and Dudettes, you may find this funny.... my lad looked over my shoulder and when he saw the words "adult beginers forums" he said: "is that some sort of sex site?" I admitted it may sound like it but most certainly isn.t!!!
Anyways onto a Rhianna escapade: Mrs R has worked very very hard and here is the result. Let me explain.
when "umbrella" was released in the Uk and we kept seeing it on TV, there was no annoying rapper called jayZ on the video.
So, I went to youtube to get it and post it here. Imagine my surprise and annoyance when every youtube video had the annoying rapper jayz on the umbrella video, I didnt understand it.
So I tried searching "Umbrella without jayz" and yes there are results but no videos just still pictures to go with the song....
So, more research and we found out that in the USA this is what they got: Rhianna AND annoying rapper jayz, but here in the UK we got just Rhianna.
So why no UK versions on youtube?
Mrs R set to work, She downloaded an Mp3 of Rhianna singing Umbrella solo, then downloaded the best quality video she could find, this had jayz in it.
Then she got rid of the sound on that video, She "snipped out all images of Jayz"
And patched in bits of Rhianna painted silver to make up the deficit in length.
Then she magically synced the mp3 with the video so the sound would be lip synced with Rhianna singing....
And that, is the clever bit, Mrs R got it perfect,you just cannot tell... even films get this wrong, how many badly lip synced films have you seen?
Full marks to Mrs R for this... and the result, well judge for yourselfs, no annoying rapper....
Rhianna and "Umbrella" without jayz!! yes! Just for you dudes and dudettes with this link, you wont find it on youtube by searching!!!!

Hi Aimee! I was just getting ready for bed, and saw your post. I gave a preliminary try of going directly to YouTube and searching for this on my own. It looks like it might work for you. I'm not completely sure. I didn't complete the search because I'm ready for bed. However, you might give it a try.
I must get to bed right now. It's going to be a busy day on Wednesday!
I think Griffin may have forgotten a link there!!! sleep well griffin! Morning dudes and dudettes. Okay I have been up all night again. lol.
The corporate dudes aint stopped mrs R! here is a link to the new hosted Umbrella without the annoying rapper jayz.... sorry for video quality, it was uploaded to a site that enlarges it!! with no option for sizing...how daft is that? Mrs r is looking to host it somewhere else as I type...watch this space...

Good morning everyone! Rossy, I'll be checking out your link later. It's never certain what I'll be able to see via the iPad. In the meantime, it's time to hear from the Queen of Soul. Here is Aretha Franklin singing "Ain't No Way.".
Good one Wayne, you know, most folk in this country wil recognise that piece of music, they may not know what it is called, but their brain will go: "oooh, thats from, thats from, er them films, er the good ones with Robert Carlisle!" Odd thing is once you have heard it, you only need to hear a snippet of it in something else and you recognise it...
The sad thing is there isn't more of it... But, its easy to make more for yourself.. For instance, try taking the right hands Dminors 1st inversion (f,a,d) and then moving that a up to a b flat (f,bflat ,d) that makes a bflat inversion...then, try just shifting that f to a g above (g, bflat d) and you have gminor, which slips to a major (a,c#,e) (see how the c# that is the "jist" of the original is coming back into play? then you can easy slip back to Dminor from the A major. something to play around with maybe to bulk it out? Have fun.. Amajor to Dminor tension resolve is pleasent.

Thats what I've bin doin' Rossy, playin' with it, I was looking for something easy, just to play about with using the skills at my level, I downloaded heaps of simple bach pieces to try, but non took my fancy, then behold, I came accross that vid on facebook, and found exactly what I wanted, cheers to you for identifying it, I'm gonna work on this a bit, and see what I come up with, that's music for you, I'm not that bothered about playing something exactly as it should be, I prefer to know the basics and develope my own version!
I'm slightly pre-occupied at the mo, my other half is testing out w8, hated it at first, but slowly, slowly comming 'round to it,
A diet plan? ow. Or windows 8 beta version? Hope its not the diet plan! (if it is just quit the beer!) This should cheer you up, its that lady again..

Morning PPP , I for one didn't know that Christopher walken could sing, are you sure ? If so, could you give us an example? I know its early in the morning for sarcasm, but the man attempting singing in the above video, sure doesn't look to comfortable in his skin. Rossys early morning verdict: "Dont give up your day job Christopher"
Talking of such things; "Why oh why are all comedians frustrated singers?" You just watch, every single so called comedian, will at some point in their career, start to think the public wants to hear them sing, and will oblige this mistaken belief.
Maybe the illuminati tells them too.
Talking of such things, have any of you dudes and dudettes read any of the online articles (of which there are many) concerning Rihanna, Christine aguilliaria, Lady gaga, and their involvement with the illuminati?
I jest not, there is a serious amount of stuff that conspiracy theorists are putting forward after having noticed a rather large amount of illuminati symbolism in lady gaga's videos, including the way she makes her hand into a small circle and looks through it with one eye..."the eye" as seen on dollar bills etc.
They are even calling Rihanna the "Illuminati princess" or "princess of the illuminati"
While this may seem far fetched, having studied a couple of the videos in minute detail, there is without doubt much illuminati/masonic symbolism used.
Just so the illuminati dont try bothering Rossy, I have this to say: "I wish the Royal couple William and Kate all the best, furthermore I wish that their first born is strong and healthy enough to eat the rest of the brood, no matter how many eggs hatch"
There I should be safe now.
Here is an example of an exceptionally fine comedian from the mid seventies, Mike reid... a lot of you may remember him from a lot later on as Frank butcher in east enders, when he was not being funny...
However, there is not a lot I could post here because he was very blue, BUT here is a quick 30 seconds of extreme funnyness....
You can find more on youtube, i would suggest the "donkey joke"
And then he decided to treat us to singing....
