Off down to London to warren - sorry flathunt. As a parting shot the rabbit was in the gym this morning when the bowlderised Boney M version of Rivers of Babylon came on the PA. Here is the antidote - the original Melodians version with the Rasta references that were edited out of the Boney M version in the interests of blandness.
The words come from Psalm 137, which ends (King James Version)...
'8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones'.
Now that's what I call a threat...
Good luck with your apartment hunting!! I have heard of Boney M but never heard their music.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how violent the Bible was, huh?!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll share some of your apartment hunting!
Yes - I am a girl. Ha. :)
Hippity hop!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for kind thoughts. i think I have progress but will report more when things are clearer.
ReplyDeleteJoJo - You haven't missed much as regards Boney M.
Sybil - All sorts of odd stuff in the Bible, lots of violence, long genealogical lists, decent erotic poetry eg. Song of Solomon 4:16
Come ... blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
Ooohhhh!!! :O
