Immigraniada (We comin' rougher) - Gogol Bordello


Immigrada immigraniada
Immigrada immigraniada-da
Immigrada immigraniada
We're coming rougher every time

We're coming rougher
We're coming rougher
We're coming rougher every time

In corridors full of tear gas
Our destinies jammed every day
Like deleted scenes from Kafka
Flushed down the bureaucratic drain

But if you give me the invitation
To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standards
We're coming rougher every time

All those who made it and quickly jaded
To them we got nothing to say
Our immigrada, immigraniada
For them it's Don Quixote's kind of way
But if you give me the invitation
To hear the bells of freedom chime
To hell with your double standards
We're coming rougher every time
We're coming rougher

Frozen eyes, sweaty back
My family's sleeping on a railroad track
All my life I pack/unpack
But man I got to earn this buck
I gotta pay representation
To be accepted in a nation
Where after efforts of a hero
Welcome start again from zero

It's a book of our true stories
True stories that can't be denied
It's more than true it actually happened
We're coming rougher every time
Rougher every time

We're coming rougher every time
Immigrada immigraniada
Immigrada immigraniada-da
Immigrada immigraniada
We're coming rougher every time

Living on a thin line - The Kinks


All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
Their castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone,
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do,
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters.

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads.
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past,
Always lost in blood and guts.
And when they're gone, it's me and you.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line.

Low Budget - The Kinks


Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be a cut price person in a low budget land
Times are hard but we'll all survive
I just got to learn to economize

I'm on a low budget
I'm on a low budget
I'm not cheap, you understand
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land

Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit
They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit
Even my trousers are giving me pain
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain
They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more
They're size 28 but I take 34

I'm shopping at Woolworth and low discount stores
I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more
Quality costs, but quality wastes,
So I'm giving up all of my expensive tastes.
Caviar and champagne are definite no's,
I'm acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes

Low budget sure keeps me on my toes
I count every penny and I watch where it goes
We're all on our uppers we're all going skint
I used to suck cigars but now I suck polo mints

Art takes time, time is money
Money's scarce and that ain't funny
Millionaires are things of the past
We're in low budget-ville where nothing can last
Money's rare there's none to be found
So don't think I'm tight if I don't buy a round

I look like a tramp, but don't write me off,
I'll have you all know, I was once a toff
At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own,
But everything else is on permanent loan.
Once all my clothes were made by hand,
Now I'm a cut price person in a low budget land.

I'm on a low budget
I'll have you all know
We're on a low budget
I'm on a low budget

Easy Money - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds


It's difficult. It's very tough.
I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough
To sit within a fragrant breeze
All among the nodding trees
That hang heavy with the stuff

He threw his arms around my neck
He brushed the tear from my cheek
And held my soft white hand
He was an understanding man
He did not even barely hardly speak

Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

All the things for which my heart yearns
Gives joy in diminishing returns
He kissed me on the mouth
His hands they headed south
And my cheek it burned

Money, man, it is a bitch
The poor, they spoil it for the rich
With my face pressed in the clover
I wondered when this would be over
And at home we are all so guilty-sad

Easy money
Pour it down the open drain
Pour it all through my veins
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

Now, I'm sitting pretty down on the bank
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
In the money-coloured meadows
And all the interesting shadows
They leap up, then dissipate

Easy money
Easy money
Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

Easy Money - King Crimson


Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers

And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
but you always make money

Easy money

With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders

We would take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty

Easy money

Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making

Easy Money - Rickie Lee Jones


There was a Joe
Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was statin'
They was waitin'
To get their hands on some easy money

They flipped a dime
One said "Well, I'll take heads this time"
One stepped up
One stepped back
One loosened her shoulder strap
She couldn't speak,
Her knees got weak
She could almost taste that easy money

There was this old black cat
Sittin' in an old black cadillac
The Joe smelled sweet
She curled up at her boyfriend's feet
She said "I got a plan
Listen, Sam, how'd ya like to make some Easy Money?"
He say, "Yes! Oh Yes!
Jus' tell me what you want me to do"
She said, "Baby, you can trust me
Baby, but you must be hidin' in my room
At a quarter to two"
Well, the cat told the boy
"Come up to the room and play with my toy"
But the Jill set the bait
And she wasn't gonna sit around and wait
But this guy was wise to all the lies
And he flies out the door
With the easy money

Because there ain't no man
Who got the money in his hand
Who got any of that bread
Bein' slow in the head
The easier it looks
The hotter it hooks
There ain't no such thing as easy money
We say, "Yes! Oh Yes!"
Saturday night
There was a terrible, terrible fight
Between two dames who was losin' the same game
It wasn't clear,
But I hear somebody was lookin' for some easy money.

Easy Money - Billy Joel


You don't have to talk all night, I'm a man who can't say no
You don't have to twist my arm, just point me where you want to go

Take me to the action, take me to the track
Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back
I've been working all my life, can't afford to wait
Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late

I want the easy, easy money
I could get lucky, Oh, things could go right
I want the easy, easy money
Maybe this one time, maybe tonight

You don't have to try too hard, I don't need a song and dance
I don't need an invitation, if you've got a game of chance

Take me to the tables, take me to the fights
Run me like the numbers, roll me like the dice
When you're counting on a killing, always count me in
Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win

I want the easy, easy money
I want the good times, Oh, I never had
I want the easy, easy money
Oh, I want the good life, I want it bad

Easy money, you say I fool myself, but better me than being a fool for someone else
I got a hot slot machine of a system ready to go
Easy money, I got a one-track mind and a good reputation laying on the line
I'll either come back a bum or a king, baby I don't know

You don't have to start a fire, I'm a man who can't say no
If you've got a little risky business, just point me where you want to go

Take me to the power, take me to the heat
Take me to the cleaners if it's open to the street
Something's got to pay off, something's got to break
Someone's got a fortune that they're begging me to take

I want the easy, easy money
I could get lucky, Things could go right
I want the easy, easy money
Maybe just this time, oh, maybe tonight

Easy money, oh, I don't want no hard cash
I just want the easy money, oh, I could get lucky
Oh, count, count, count, count, count

Easy Money - Bruce Springsteen


You put on your coat, I’ll put on my hat
You put out the dog, I’ll put out the cat
You put on your red dress for me tonight, honey
We’re going on the town now
Looking for easy money

There’s nothing to it, mister, You won’t hear a sound
When your whole world comes tumbling down
And all them fat cats, they’ll just think it’s funny
I’m goin’ on the town now, lookin’ for easy money

I got a Smith & Wesson 38
I got a hellfire burning and I got me a date
Got me a date on the far shore
Where it’s bright and sunny
I’m goin’ on the town tonight
Lookin’ for easy money

You put on your coat, I’ll put on my hat
You put out the dog, I’ll put out the cat
You put on your red dress
You’re lookin’ real good, honey
We’re going on the town now
Looking for easy money

Poor Boy - Nick Drake


Never sing for my supper
I never help my neighbour
Never do what is proper
For my share of labour

I'm a poor boy
And I'm a rover
Count your coins and
Throw them over my shoulder
I may grow older

Nobody knows
How cold it grows
And nobody sees
How shaky my knees
Nobody cares
How steep my stairs
And nobody smiles
If I cross their stiles

Oh poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh poor boy
So worried for his health

You may say every day
Where will he stay tonight

Never know what I came for
Seems that I've forgotten
Never ask what I came for
Or how I was begotten

I'm a poor boy
And I'm a ranger
Things I say
May seem stranger than Sunday
Changing to Monday

Nobody knows
How cold it flows
And nobody feels
The worn down heels
Nobody's eyes
Make the skies
Nobody spreads
Their aching heads

Oh poor boy
So worried for his life
Oh poor boy
So keen to take a wife

He's a mess but he'll say yes
If you just dress in white

Nobody knows
How cold it blows
And nobody sees
How shaky my knees
Nobody cares
How steep my stairs
And nobody smiles
If you cross their stiles

Oh poor boy
So sorry for himself
Oh poor boy
So worried for his health

Με την προσθήκη που ακολουθεί σκοπεύω να πιάσω με τη μία όλους μαζί τους παρακάτω στόχους:
1. Να θυμίσω ότι στα ελληνικά μαμαλίγκα λέμε (και) τα λεφτά, τη μονέδα (το slang.gr το γνωρίζει αυτό: http://www.slang.gr/lemma/show/mamaligka_4541)· το ΛΝΕΓ (2012) δεν έχει τη σημασία και περιορίζεται στην κλασική mămăligă, ενώ το ΛΚΝ δεν έχει καν (!) τη λέξη.
2. Να σπάσω άπαξ διά παντός το ρεκόρ για το πιο κακόγουστο βίντεο που 'χει ποτέ μπει στο φόρουμ.​
Πιστεύω ότι τα κατάφερα: :p
ΥΓ Αν πάτε να δείτε κι άλλα βιντεάκια από τη Viper Productions (απ' τα ~1300 που έχει!), το κάνετε με δική σας (αυτοκτονική!) ευθύνη — εγώ σας προειδοποίησα. :inno:

Πάμε μια κόντρα; (Φυσικά από εδώ. Πού αλλού; :p )
Να κάναμε άραγε ένα χωριστό νήμα για τα πιο κακόγουστα βίντεο; :whistle:

700 ευρώ το μήνα (Όμορφοι και ηττημένοι) - Αλέξανδρος Εμμανουηλίδης


Στη δουλειά σου μέσα σ' είδα
σ' ένα κρύο γραφειάκι
δέκα ώρες μια ελπίδα
να ξεκουραστείς λιγάκι

Κι έρχεται τ' αφεντικό σου
κι όλο σου ζητάει κι άλλα
κι εσύ πνίγεις τον καημό σου
ξαναμπαίνεις μες στη γυάλα

Κάνεις όνειρα από κείνα
που γελάνε και οι κότες
με 700 ευρώ το μήνα
δεν αντέχουν οι ιππότες

Στη συγκέντρωση σε είδα
και κουνούσες σημαιάκι
κι άκουγες τον αρχηγό σου
σαν οκτώ χρονών παιδάκι

Σου είπε λόγια απ' τα μεγάλα
σου έταξε διπλές αυξήσεις
σ' έβαλε να βλέπεις μπάλα
και για όλα είχε λύσεις

Μόνο που είχες τρύπιες κάλτσες
και αρχαίο κουστουμάκι
κι έριχνες ψωμιά στις σάλτσες
να λαδώσει τ' αντεράκι

Μες στο σπίτι σου σε είδα
σε διπλό καναπεδάκι
να απλώνεις την αρίδα
να καπνίζεις τσιγαράκι

Κι όταν έρχεται η κυρά σου
κάνεις να απλώσεις χέρι
και σου λέει πως είν' σειρά σου
να διαβάσεις το Λευτέρη

Κι όλο σκέφτεσαι να φύγεις
με την τάδε ή με τη δείνα
αλλά ποια θα 'ρθει μαζί σου
με 700 ευρώ το μήνα;

Pauvre Type - Amadou & Mariam


Regardez ce Pauvre type, il est fatigué,
Regardez ce Pauvre type, il est malheureux
Regardez ce Pauvre type, il est misérable
Regardez ce Pauvre type, il est fatigué

Aujourd'hui, c'est samedi,
Samedi, le week-end commence,
Pour préparer sa soirée,
Il se promène de porte en porte
En cherchant chaussures et pantalon, une chemise, une cravate
Quelques jetons dans sa poche,
C'est la fête, la fête qui commence.

Aujourd'hui, c'est samedi,
Il rejoint ses camarades,
Arrivé au grain, la négociation commence,
Il s'en va voir le boutiquier
Du thé, du thé à crédit
Du sucre, du sucre à crédit
Un seul long de cigarette
Il le fout dans un paquet vide
Il s'en va tout joyeux
C'est la fête, la fête qui commence.
