If you haven't seen this music video, it's really nice. It sort of reminds me of how it feels trying to take it easy on the gas pedal in a Toyota Prius while less patient drivers of non Hybrid vehicles around me suffer from "Wasted Space Anxiety." http://www.jcbsong.co.uk/jcbvideo.asp Definition of "Wasted Space Anxiety": This is the tendency to keep accelerating until you are sure there is no space between you and the car in front for another driver to bud in front of you. This anxiety can extend to the few cars in front of you. If you can see that there is a huge open space of no cars in front of the lead car in front of you, you'll desparately need for someone to fill up this wasted space. So either you start honking your horn, blinking your lights and cursing at the cars in front of you or you find a way to pass them.
Great little tune. KMO posted a link to it a week or so before the holidays began. Ya gotta love a song about a kid, his dad and a digger.
Cute video, but I have to admit that about 3/4 of the time I had no idea what the guy was saying/singing. It's the accent that throws me off...way off.
It's not only the accent but use of British figures of speech. Here are the words: Artist - Nizlopi Album - Single Lyrics - Jcb Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB. I'm 5 years old and my dad's giant sitting beside me. And the engine rattles my bum like berserk While we're singin, 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!' My dad's totally had a bloody hard day But he's been good fun and bubblin and jokin' away And the procession of cars stuck behind are gettin all impatient and angry, but we dont mind. An' we're holdin up the bypass oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh oh woah Sittin on the toolbox oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss So glad I'm not in school Oh no... And we pull over to let the cars pass And pull off again, speedin by the summer green grass And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex! And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets And I'll tell em I'm 8, my dad's b.a. barakas Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas And We're holdin up the bypass oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh oh woah Sittin on the toolbox oh And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss So glad I'm not in school And we're holdin up the bypass oh oh Me and my dad havin a top laugh oh woah I'm sittin on the toolbox oh oh And I'm so glad I'm not in schoolbox So glad I'm not in school - Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB. I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round...
Neat video. Here is another one: A tour of Paris by car. http://mirror.rtor.net/rendezvous20_04.mov Claude Lelouch, "C'etait un rendezvous", 1976[/URL] From the Porte Dauphine to Sacre-Coeur in less than 8 minutes in a Ferrari 275/GTB. Top speed in excess of 200 km/hr (125 mph). Count the number of red lights the car is running. Legend has it that they had some film left over after making a movie and it was just enough to do the run. It takes a while to dowload even with a broadband connection, but it is worth it. Don't even think about it if you have dial up.
