Current mood? Anouk Aimée, smoking...
Oh gawd. It's here...
After a two-week break (of mainly disappointments, interspersed with a lot of "me time"), it's time to drag the laptop out of the cupboard again, and steel myself for all the crap that will inevitably greet me as I re-enter the lovely world of work.
Hey ho.
Even if we didn't get to Amsterdam (or anywhere), at least we can bring a little bit of "Oompah insanity" into our lives this Tacky Music Monday - and here's a lady who knows her “Levenslied” from her "Lekkerbekje", just to jolly things along a bit!
Oh! That's better...
No, she is far too jolly for my current mood [excessively grumpy].
ReplyDeleteYour fortnight went a bit quick! I thought this was your second week off - are you sure you're supposed to be working?
Sx
It has flown by. As all holidays do. Then time goes into reverse when work starts again... Jx
DeletePS I bet you're not as grumpy as I am at the mo!
Oh, she's a scream. Her little routine. Too funny. That is an interesting show... Top of the 40? They have featured the most interesting acts and I'm so glad they are all on THE Youtube. Steel your loins, dear. You'll muddle through. Wishing you the best as you sort through it all. Give 'em hell! Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, the Dutch really know how to have a good time! They also take pride in their traditional "oompah"-type music, which is more than can be said of modern Britain, which seems more interested in American music than it does our own heritage of "Music Hall"/"variety" entertainment...
DeleteI'm struggling through this day. So far I haven't had cause to scream. Yet. Jx
"I've go' a luvverly bunch o' coconuts..." 2,3 4, "see th'mall a-standin' in a row..."
ReplyDeleteI'd be sad to see it all disappear, but I believe, if you go down Lambeth way...
"...any evening, any day - you'll find 'em all..."
Delete...twerking to R&B music, most likely.

PS There are huge similarities between Dutch music and British Music Hall numbers - we love going along to sing-alongs in bars in Amsterdam and, because we don't know any Dutch, singing Let's All Go Down The Strand or similar to the tunes they play. It works!
OMG. I loved that so much, very like soldiers of the king or something like that. Can't put me finger on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat Fun
Gawd bless the Dutch.
It's even funnier when you read the translation of the lyrics... Jx
