My todays "good old Italian Ska" mood.

 

had a terrible need today to listen it again in my car when returning from work

 

Nice :thumbup:

 

I sometimes listen to a German ska-rock band named Evil Cavies. Don't know if you have heard about them?

 

Here are a couple of the songs I listen to from them:

At an REO Speedwagon concert currently:yes. The musics old, but I know of few songs I like.

I like to surf Apple Music’s Top 100 lists every once in a while because they make a list for every country, and I mean every country. This week it seems like the entire world has fallen in love with:

 

Except for a few odd outliers, like Scandinavia and the Baltic States (which no offense are practically part of Scandinavia nowadays), which like this song:

 

But my favorite outlier so far has been Poland. I don’t what to say about this one. We’d call it a “bop” or “boof” or “smack” in the US. I have no clue what the lyrics are, so maybe @Vojthas or @Monzanator could help me understand what the hell this song is:

In Poland it's called disco polo, basically old school hi-NRG disco that breaths italo disco from the 80s. Can't stand this trash but it's popular again over here (the first wave was in the 90s during the eurodance explosion in Europe). Anyway, the song is called "She would have wanted this" and 'this' means smoking pot, dancing, counting money and having sex (a lot of sex) :rolleyes:

 

Tbh this is the first time I hear this particular song and I feel like I wasted 3 minutes of my life now :lol:

I guessed so, so I didn't even played this sh**. But I need to correct you - as far as disco polo rose from eurodisco (Modern Talking, Sandra, Sabrina, Samantha Fox) and italo disco (Francesco Napoli, Ricchi e Poveri) these were far more bearable - in fact I would say I really like them. Even in Poland we had an eurodisco band - Papa Dance, they're really bearable for me, though it might look like the start of disco polo.

Most of the disco polo lyrics are:"She is here and dances for me", "Polka dot panties", "I'd like to soap you with the Fa soap".... MY GOD, WHERE FROM DO I KNOW ALL THAT?!

Don't have to tell me that, I played 2 Unlimited, Ice MC or Captain Hollywood Project on my old school Grundig cassette recorder :lol:

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
