I like Strange Fruit.

The song, that is, before I get any weirdo remarks. 😠

I watched QI on Friday night (with Stephen Fry) and I was amazed!

There's a good chance British people haven't heard this song, it was banned by the BBC until 2002.

Banned? A song that's so old? Why?
Yeah. Exactly...what's so special about this song...

well, it's kind of a classic, and if anyone has missed it so far, they should definitely listen to it. there are loads of versions covering it though, with two different lyrics plus the hungarian ones. and many many instrumental versions. there was even a donald duck story about it when I was a kid.

even though the billie holiday version is probably one of the most famous ones, björk has a nice version of it as well.


here's a version from the insane moonbat diamanda galas


a modern hungarian version by angela poka


sarah brightman


shame the kronos quartet version isn't on youtube. but anyway, I like the freaky diamanda galas version maybe the best.

Certainly you posting "Idiot" contributes a lot.

I dislike you, hypocrite. Stay away from me.
How creative your posts are.

Stop using the oxygen worthy people need, weirdo.

Attention craver. Copycat. Obsolete.

Brothers and sisters should not procreate.

May God have mercy on your soul.

I like Nina Simone's version, and yes I am gay.

Sarah Vaughan's Whatever Lola Wants is a great choon from a similar era. (actually, I don't know if she was the writer)

with a superb remix by The Gotan Project...

(Random video attached to the song, I think)

1. Undo the caps lock.

2. No, no he wasn't. The urban myth is that the bassist "Twiggy" played Paul on "The Wonder Years." It is of course, a myth, and not true.

Seitse, you know I love you. But please don't ever post in one of my threads again. You're like salt on my chocolate, like a fart in a spacesuit.

You sour my inspiration and everything else I hold for beautiful in this world.
