Chris De Burgh - Amazing Artist

[timo]

RodimusPrime,

I do not believe that we ever 'slapped' De Burgh's annoying little supply Geography teacher-type visage on my 'Who has the most slappable face in entertainment?' thread. Please feel free to contribute both to the thread, and to the sum of human happiness by walloping the smug, Corncrake-voiced 'singer-songwriter'.

Personally I like his eyebrows.

 

A spaceman came a travelling indeed.

 

Whilst I'm on the subject, that ex-Mrs Chris Evans, Billy Piper has the scariest pair of eyebrows I think I've ever seen. I keep expecting them to take flight at any given minute.

 

And I always thought it was the Daleks that had me hiding behind the settee.

Ousetunes,

The Daleks were only dangerous on level ground. They were unable to climb stairs, which is why the Cybermen caused the young Timo greater worries.

Obviously 'Lady in red' is his most famous song but other tracks are equally as good

 

IMHO 'Lady in Red' is one of the worst songs to ever grace this planet. Every time I hear that song it turns my stomach with its smarminess.

Chris De Burgh and his bland, un-offensive music-by-numbers pap offends me.

 

His album sleeves are rubbish too, and would be greatly improved by one or two of these;

Never thought the words Chris De Burgh and amazing would be grouped together:confused:

I think he's great...could listen to him for hours...my husband didn't like him till he saw him in concert.....! What a voice!!!

From the genius mind of Bill Bailey

 

Beautiful Ladies (in honour of Chris de Burgh)

 

Beautiful Ladies In Danger,

Danger all round the world,

I will protect them,

Because I am Chris de Burgh.

Beautiful Ladies,

In Emergency Situations.

 

Beautiful Ladies are lovely,

But sometimes they don't take care,

They're too busy with their makeup,

Or combing their lovely hair,

To take basic safety precautions,

 

But I will protect them!

I will save the pretty ones,

With their smiles and their sparkling eyes!

(But let the ugly ones die!)

 

I have no place for them,

In my new world order.

I won't waste my seed on hideous trolls!

 

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the trolls!

Hunt them down there shall be no clemency!

 

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the trolls!

Look under the bridges - that's where they hide!

That's where they hide.

 

And beauty,

Shall

be

my

bride.

Hey, I always liked his stuff Lestat!

 

Spanish Train and other stories was an album that I listened to death when I was young. The lyrics were pretty amazing for someone now seen as a bad ballad singer.

 

example:

 

Spanish Train excerpt

 

"There's a Spanish train that runs between

Gualdaqivir and old Seville.

And at dead of night the whistle blows,

And people hear,

she’s running still.

 

And then they hush their children back to sleep,

lock the doors, upstairs they creep.

For it is said that the souls of the dead,

fill that train -

ten thousand deep!!"

 

wow!

 

What about "Don't Pay The Ferryman"

 

or, my personal favourite, Patricia the Stripper

 

Genius
