myles Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Does any body else think that the lyrics to the new song by the Darkness, named Bald, are highly entertaining. You can find the tune here (sorry if its a bit quiet): http://freespace.virgin.net/smith.penrith/bald.htm (sorry, im also a bit flash mad at the moment ) For those of you unfamiliar with the Darkness.... here is a taster of the lyrics: It would appear that male pattern baldness has set in his hair, at an alarming pace running away from his face he's losing his virility and now his masculinity has been compromised and his libido down-sized Not for me, not for me, not for me, uh-uh not for me, not for me, heaven forbid it's not for me you understand Bald, slap headed and hairless bald he is destined to be bald, well tonight thank God it's him instead of me. From what I have been reading his scalp needs kneading to stimulate each follicle and reverse this diabolical condition that's afflicted he for years and has cruelly repulsed each potential mate and left him with a balding pate Not for me, not for me, not for me, uh-uh not for me, not for me, heaven forbid it's not for me you understand Bald, slap headed and hairless bald he is destined to be bald, well tonight thank God it's him instead of me. Sock it to me baby, yeah! Not for me, not for me, not for me, uh-uh not for me, not for me, heaven forbid it's not for me you understand Not for me, not for me, not for me, uh-uh not for me, not for me, heaven forbid it's not for me you understand Bald, slap headed and hairless bald he is destined to be bald, well tonight thank God it's him instead of me. Thank God! Bald, slap headed and hairless bald he is destined to be bald, well tonight thank God it's him instead of me. How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well I like baldies And isn't baldness a sign of loads of testosterone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 HA!!!!! I am emailing that to my step-father I do love The Darkness - they are the most sntertaining band around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I really can't believe they have dared put words like that to a piece of music. Personally, no, I don't find it entertaining. Although I do understand that some people would.... Who are they going to go for next - "fatties"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 sorry if i have caused offence grd by the words entertaining.... really they're more stupid than entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolinep Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I had a chuckle, especially if you minimise the music window so that you can follow the lyrics on the posting. I have forwarded it to my parents. (my father is the proud owner of a comb over ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I didn't realise we had crossed swords Dan? Did I say I was offended? I believe I said that I didn't find it entertaining. Perhaps there would also be a lot less trouble if people read the posts properly before following up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well I am sorry that I didn't answer myles (Anne's) post quickly enough for you Dan - in future I will try to reply in a more timely fashion. Anne - for the record, I am not offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Blimey. You have to be so careful these days - there are just SO many people to offend out there Its a good job no-one posted an anti-baldy cartoon.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well, I emailed the lyrics to Phil, who is 'proud to be bald' and he was fine about it. I think The Darkness are daft anyway, but (like grd) I don't find them offensive, just pointless. I work with loads of blokes, so there's plenty to get offended at here. I just tend to let most of it wash straight over me and not give them the satisfaction of making me rise. But sometimes I feel that I have to stand up (to my full 5'1"!) and take them to account or correct their 'isms. If they are being plain stupid, then I tell them so. I wasn't at all offended Myles, so don't worry. Your mum is lovely, she'll see the funny side of it. Perhaps you ought to have your own Omlet forum account to avoid the confusion.

Linda Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 PS I am a trainspotter - I don't record numbers anymore but I have just been down to Rugby station for my lunch break to photograph a few trains. If I were to have taken offence every time someone said something derogatory about trainspotters (and especially fat trainspotters) then I don't think I would ever get out of bed in the morning... Dan, you obviously feel this is a safe environment to come out in. Do you have any particular favourites types of locos or carriages? I have had some involvement with a train company and know a few charter operators. Have been to Oxley a number of times - see quite a variety there.
