I want beer and loud music.
But not crappy music, loud, earthshaking, wall vibrating, window shattering, cop calling metal

How bout some Europe?
"The Final Countdown"
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.

Yo, Sensei...
...drinking late and alone again?
*mixes thai whiskey and red bull and takes the shot all within three secs*
I just need to warm things up a little.

I always drink late, and mostly, by the end of the night, I am alone in the conscience world
@Ty...Europe? It'll do in a pinch

You mean Peter Schilling's "Coming Home (Major Tom)" or David Bowie's "Space Oddity"? Theyre often confused, but both are some good songs, and one of them was worthy enough to make it to one of my compilations.
(Peter Schilling's)
@BS I dont follow. Is pinch a good thing? (aka do you like Europe?)

@Ty....Europe is decent
Or they were anyway.
@Mah....if left to my own devices, my doom is inevitable

It goes well with the Final Countdown... you know, "4, 3, 2, 1, earth below us..."
Yup. I got that on my compilation somewhere...I think my vol 4...but Im not sure.
It doesnt matter. Let me dig up the lyrics for that song, Peter Schillings sole hit.
"Major Tom (Coming Home)"
Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
"Are you sure?"
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.
The countdown starts.
Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink."
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Second stage is cut.
We're now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
"What will it affect
when all is done?"
thinks Major Tom.
Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
"Go to rockets full."
Not responding.
"Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We're standing by."
There's no reply.
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don't realize
he's alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
"Now the light commands
this is my home,
I'm coming home."
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home...
home.....

Well I havent heard many of their songs, just caught "Final Countdown" on the VH1 classic channel, and thought it was a pretty good tune.
Not sure what other tunes to post. I could certainly dive deep into new wave, but Im sure that only Kid, and maybe Mah would be appreciative of that.
