Things you know the words to

[thew arn]

The theme tune to Willy Fog. Oh yes!

[Durutti]

Sing it! Sing it!

[thew arn]

Okayeee:

FOGG! I'm the one who made the bet and I know we'll be exactly right on ti-iiiiime
FOGG! Is my name and I could play, with my life in many ways, thats what they say!

(best bit coming up:)

(dodgy spanish accent adopted)
Here I am! I'm Rigadon!
I'm-a Tico dimascota!
(falsetto now)
It's my turn, the gentle touch! Of romy - they love me so much!

(all together now!)
Eigh-ty days around the world,
We'll find a pot of gold, just sitting where the rainbow's ending..
Time? We'll fight against the time!
And we'll fly on the white wings of the wind.
Eigh-ty days around the world,
No we won't say a word, before the ship is really back.
Round, round, all around the world,
Round, round, all around the world, round, all around the world.

There's more, but I think I've taken up enough of your time. But before I go, the next verse starts:

Look! There's a lion over there!
Let's forget about our fears we must be ready!

You are a lion Willy! Don't be afraid!

[Durutti]

You sad man.
Actually, that is total. God-like genius. Can you do Cities of Gold?

[bamos]

Surely the only words worth knowing are

OOOOO-OOOHHHHOOOOOHHHH OOOOOO OOOOHHHH
The Cities of Gold...

I heard once that someone that someone's friend knew had the last episode of that on video. I failed to believe it though. Because no-one I've ever actually met has ever seen the last episode of it.

[thew arn]

Exactly what Bamos said.

I know a couple of people who say they've seen the last episode, and go on to describe it (at this point I cover my ears and start la-la-la-ing).

Liars, all of 'em.

[Tom-From-Sparks]

My brother can do the enitre Thriller.

Me personally, I can sing the Big Break theme tune, I also know MC Hammer and a few tracks by Public Enemy (I don't know why!) off by heart.

I also know the Fun House theme tune word by word...

[Fellalady]

I'm glad other people used to have 'know all the words' competitions when they were young. My brother and I played this all the time.

I can play Axel F on the piano......my brother can't.

[Durutti]

You have to wear shades while listening to/playing Axel F. It's the law. If you drive a red Lamborghini that helps too.

Children of the sun, see your time has just begun,
Searching for your ways, through adventures every day. Every day and night, with the Condor in flight
With all your friends in tow, you search for the Cities of Gold.
Aaaaaaa-a-a-ahhhh... wishing for The Cities of Gooooo-old Aaaaaaa-a-a-ahhhh... some day we will find The Cities of Gold

Yes yes. I wonder who translated that from the French? An illiterate?

[tafkac]

I have to admit (brag about?) having a ridiculous memory. I can remember long poems and speeches from Shakespeare and stuff without really trying. People used to have this game, which rapidly got boring, where they would ask me what the capital of any country in the world was. I'd tend to know.

Yeah upsetting, I know. I never sat down and learnt them or anything, OK? Unfortunately, I can't remember the way to anywhere and can't give directions, or remember the plot of films.

[Wiggles]

Cities of Gold scared the crap out of me.

[John Brainlove]

Apparently Philip Schofield was singing on that before he had his TV career. I have an MP3 of it. That programme was cool.

[Monpot]

I'm sure my brother got himself a dvd of Cities Of Gold, every episode

[thomfa]

I used to pride myself on knowing every word to Three Lions '96. In fact I probably still do.

I know the Words to pretty much every Beatles song, particularly post-'65.

I know Bob Dylan lyrics better than my own.
