b.g.m.

Last week, it was "Echo Beach" playing at one of the local supermarkets.
Do you know the song, it goes like this:

Echo beach, far away in time
Echo beach, far away in time
Echo beach, far away in time
Echo beach, far away in time

I think it might even be an aussie song... wait while I look that one up....

Today I have been bombarded with Brittney. The shopping street has loudspeakers, and that is where good ol Brit is coming from. This morning it was "Hit me baby one more time" and this afternoon they were still thrashing her with a song I can't remember (actually don't know) the title of. It was Brittney though, for sure. I wonder if the local chamber of commerce the offical sponsor for Brittney's return?

I haven't heard this much nostalgic music since I was on a backpackers cruise ship for 4 days in the Chilean Fjords, actually on our honeymoon (whoo-hooo). I blogged about that in a different life, and different blog provider, but I am thinking about transplanting all my South American and other holiday posts to a blogger blog. I think that will be my summer project!

............and several hours later.......
I must apologise to Martha and the Muffins for trying to claim them and their 198o hit song as Aussie. Although, according to the bible (wikipedia) there was a cover version done by an aussie band in 1995....And did you know that "In 2005, "Echo Beach" was named the 35th greatest Canadian song of all time on the CBC Radio One series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version." very cool.

So here are all the lyrics to that classic song:
I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time

REPEAT AND FADE
