I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
1. a slang term used almost exclusively in the Cambridgeshire, U.K. area. It means "sexual intercourse" or simply just "fucking". The legendary psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd hails from the area.
2. a 1969 double album by Pink Floyd. One disc has live recordings on it, the other has stereo recordings on it. It charted on both sides of the Atlantic.

1. The album Ummagumma may have got its name because the band members were pressed for time to get the album out. They were probably saying "Fuck!" frequently and when the time came to name the album it was named with a slang synonym for that word. Maybe, don't quote me. I may be wrong.
2. The album's name caused a temporary controversy upon its U.K. release. Since the word "ummagumma" means nothing in the U.S there was no controversy there.

Get the Ummagumma mug.by I Saw U2 Live Twice October 2, 2007
Get the GBH mug.someone who has never served in the military, but who rah-rahs a war when it is broadcast on TV from his armchair while swilling beer. He thinks it is all a game to watch and he buys items (like T-shirts) that celebrate the war and are sold by oily corporate yuppies who want to make a few bucks off a national wave of "patriotism". Armchair warriors call that "supporting the troops" but do not think at all about the dangers inherant in war and do not want to lift a finger to help returning veterans get rehabilitation or treatment for their disabilities. They just want to see the modern day TV gladiators "kick some ass" for their amusement. They are SMFs.
Senator Bonehead voted for the war. He never served in the Armed Forces, he claimed that all the "minorities" and "little people" were doing the job for him. Every night he goes home and watches the news to see how many enmy combatants are killed. He cheers the U.S. forces on for "kicking ass" while chugging down his beer. He is a prime example of an armchair warrior.

Get the armchair warrior mug.quite simply, it's a "portable keyboard". It's a small portable synthesizer (with keys of course) that has a handle similar to that of a guitar. The neck is usually kind of thick but still can be gripped by one hand. It may sport switches and buttons to alter the sounds being played. Keytars are convienient.
Jan Hammer of "Miami Vice" and Mahavishnu Orchestra fame glued a handle on his Probe keyboard for ease of walking around on stage while playing. This may be an example of an early keytar, but it wasn't called by that word yet.
Keytars first got notoriety in the 80s but are certainly not restricted to that decade by any means. Notable keytar players include Howard Jones AKA "Hojo", Jean Michel Jarre, the members of the Moog Cookbook and more. Hit videos by artists as diverse as Don Henley, Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, Janet Jackson , John Parr and even Shania Twain have featured backing musicians playing keytars.

Get the keytar mug.1. really infantile, stupid, banal, dumbed down and insulting to the intelligence radio format, music and DJ commentary. The DJ is often a chatterbox cretin who spouts out drivel that amounts to next to nothing and the music played is so idiotic and annoying you want to smash your radio.
2. a 1984 hit song by the band Queen. It's a kind-of protest against the moronic content of radio broadcasting. It hit #1 in Holland and Sweden, #2 in the UK and Top 15 in the U.S.A.

1. All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga, Radio Goo-Goo, Radio Na-Na. All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga. Radio, what's new? Radio, someone still loves you.
2. the current sensation Lady Gaga took her moniker from this song. The irony is that she gets more attention for what she's got on (a new strange outfit every week!) and her music itself is pretty vapid and not very original. She's more style than substance. She plays Radio Ga-Ga, Radio Goo-Goo, Radio Na-Na...

Get the Radio Ga-Ga mug.a simple quasi-folkish tune written and recorded in a hotel room (during a "bed-in" for peace) in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the late 60s. John Lennon of the Beatles and his new bride Yoko Ono were there on their honeymoon and they wrote, performed and recorded the song in that room, along with some special guests singing the chorus chant. This song has become an antiwar anthem and since then has been played and chanted at numerous anti-Vietnam War rallies and at rallies opposing wars thereafter.
At the Ohio State University Oval in January 1991 I saw an antiwar demonstration against the first Gulf War (first war against Iraq). The rally organizers played many rock'n'roll antiwar songs, including "War" by Bruce Springsteen and "Give Peace A Chance". People kept on chanting, "all we are saying, is Give Peace a Chance".

Get the Give Peace a Chance mug.1. a series of art sculptures shaped like bears that are wearing various outfits. These statues are also colored in many different ways. They are exhibited in cities thruout Europe and beyond. Their function is for promoting peace and tolerance and diversity to children everywhere.
2. a trio of cartoon bears (Billy, Bobby, and Bertie) who frequently appear on the Saturday morning cartoon show "Garfield and Friends". They are the irritating bane of Garfield because he is an independent-minded fat cat who likes to eat lasagna, nap in his box, and watch TV all day. The Buddy Bears spout and espouse conformity in their song and dance routine with nauseating propagandic soul -crushing platitudes like "never have an opinion of your own".
3. any group of people who do and think everything together because SOMEBODY SAID SO. They NEVER question anything. It's "rally-around-whatever" for them. Sound like anything from the early 21st century?

1. The Buddy Bear statues are a great delight for children to see in metropolitan parks everywhere.
2. Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along ...
if you ever disagree, it means that you are wrong. Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along!
3. At the beginning of one episode after the opening song Garfield said that the Buddy Bears come on after the commercial break so you can practice your channel-flipping skills.
4. for the past number of years the American public has blindly accepted whatever crap has been dished out by self-appointed "experts".People forget that America became so great as it is by the thoughts and actions of those who don't "go with the flow" or "get with the program". The Buddy Bears and their lemming conformist type are the opposite of what American democracy is all about.
5. Bertie: It's noon. Where would we like to eat? I say we go to the salad bar.
Bobbie: Bertie has just suggested it and we are the Buddy Bears and we never disagree so I say we head to the salad bar.
Billy: Well Bertie and Bobby agree to go to the salad bar for lunch and we are the Buddy Bears and if I were to disagree then that would mean I would be wrong, so I say I we go to the salad bar.
All three bears: ALRIGHT! It's a deal! (they sing their little song again...)
6. Don't join the Buddy Bears crowd. Be yourself.
