- I can't think of any song to play -
Sunday, September 30
Oh, Dear!

Seems like the closing chapter to SAM ( South Australian Matriculation a.k.a Self- Abuse Matriculation a.k.a Saya Akan Mati) has not really got off to a good start. Firstly, the DI-sasterous trial papers especially ACCOUNTS hit off badly. Err, maybe for most of us, probably with the exceptions of Ian and Kenneth.

Needless to say, do not fret. Lol. Life is an endless journey of bumps and smooth passages. Though some of us may feel, that life is always on the downside, take this as a good lesson because the best is yet to come. The bittersweet moments of life are what makes us better homo sapiens
. Furthermore, realising what lies ahead and the life you are going to live is going to make you overcome your fears and disillusions.

Do not let your emotions overtake your true potential. Believing in yourself is one way. Like my late grandfather said, if you do your level best in whatever you do, that means you have done the best that you can possibly have done. Do not be downtrodden either, because that is not very good.

This song is pretty old, is from an 80's group called The Bangles ( the very same people who sang, Eternal Flame, which was later re-sung by Atomic Kitten) on how we do not wish for the weekend to end and dread a MONDAY.

Manic Monday
Artist(Band):The Bangles


Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
It's just another manic Monday


Here is another song by another old group, Earth, Wind and Fire( who hits include September and Boogie Wonderland).



SYSTEM OF SURVIVAL
Artist(Band):Earth Wind And Fire


The Human Race is runnin' over me
I punch a clock at 9 and 5
Just tryin' to make a livin'
A plastic face on satellite TV
Says, "Life is filled with give and take"
He's takin' and I'm givin
So I dance

(Hook)
It's my system of survival (SOS)
I'm dancin'
System of survival (SOS)
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival

(Bridge)
At times it's the only way
I'm gonna make it through this day

(Chorus)
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Keep survivin'
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Stay alive

A city night
I walk a street in fear
While politicians brag about
A paperwork solution

Another life
I shed another tear
I'm waiting for somebody new
To lead the revolution
So I dance

(Hook)
It's my system of survival...
(Repeat Hook and Chorus)
(SOS) Send it out
Send it out, send it out, send it out...

Lol, pretty old songs I may say, but songs like these propel a strong message for all to believe and survive in this age of GLOBALISATION,TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT and STRESSFUL LIVES, especially when we hate going back to school on a Monday.

Here are the music videos of the two songs....



Manic Monday- The Bangles




System of Survival- Earth, Wind and Fire
