1. a dance that resembles a samba but where everyone places their hands on the person in front and the whole group line "chugs" along to resemble a train - hence "locomotion".
2. a popular song that goes with the dance, in the same way that "Limbo Rock", "Stroll", "Do the Conga", "Velcro Fly", "Egyptian Walk" (Bangles), the dumbshitMacarena and more. This song has been covered and has charted many many times. It became a #1 by Little Eva n 1962. Macho Michigan rockers Grand Funk (Railroad) took their hard rock version to the top in 1974. Australian singer/actress/model Kylie Minogue had a huge hit with her perky synth/dance version in 1987-1988.

1. Everybody's doing a brand new thing now. Come on baby, do the Locomotion...
2. there was a benefit dance at the Eastern Orthodox church downtown and one of dances performed was the Locomotion.
3. I've heard several versions of the Locomotion. I barely remember when Grand Funk Railroad had their tough version with the "rattling on the trash cans" drum effect (real cool) but I'm more familiar with Kylie Minogue's electropop cover because it brings up happy memories of a joyful time, it was used on numerous TV shows like "The Cosby Show" and besides, Kylie Minogue - she's CUTE.

Get the Locomotion mug.an obnoxious blowhard who pushes his/her ideas on others in an overbearing way, usually knowing nothing about the topic. Such person often thinks that other people are ignorant and stupid, and they often slam and belittle people who know the real facts. They think they are experts but they know zero.
1. AM radio used to have good music and radio plays and such. Since late 1992 it's been polluted with extreme political hateful loudmouths like Rubbish Limberger and other dummies. The morons have hijacked the AM dial.
2. You're a loudmouth baby
You better shut it up
I'm gonna beat you up
'Cause you're a loudmouth babe
RAMONES

Get the loudmouth mug.1. lengthy prog rock/hard rock tune by the Canadian band Rush. I think it refers to a classic piece of lit called "Kubla Khan", don't quote me on this.
2. one of the most wretchedly godawful movies ever made. An absolute waste of time, film, money and effort. It was a total dud and a bomb during the summer of 1980. The story line was unbelievably stupid. It was possibly the worst movie ever released to public cinemas until that exalted status was taken by "Sibling Rivalry" ten years later. It starred the Aussie Olivia Newton-John as a "muse", can U dig it? But it gets worse from there, much worse. About the best thing about this flick is the historical fact that the action that occured during the music clips foretold the emergence of MTV the following year. The soundtrack ain't too bad, however. Olivia scored a big hit with "Magic", another one with "Suddenly" (with Cliff Richard), and the title track with the "Electric Light Orchestra". ELO also scored high with their own "I'm Alive" and "All Over the World". Despite the embarrassment that this shitty movie placed upon them, ELO and Olivia would go on further into their music careers with even more success.

1. When I saw Rush on their "30th Anniversary Tour" in 2004 they played a wide spectrum of classics, including "Xanadu".
2. I first saw Xanadu on TV at my grandparents' house one summer a few years after that movie first came out. A complete piece of trash. Olivia herself would later star in another flick, "Two of a Kind", with John Travolta again. It too was an utter pile of puke. My roomate commented on Olivia's nice ass. That was the best thing you could say about that one.

Get the Xanadu mug.it's the name that two young women took for themselves when they decided to form a singing duo. This was in New York City during the mid to late 70s, when the punk/New Waverevolution was erupting and coming into its own. Probably because their name, they never went very far.
I was paging thru a documentary book about Blondie (that New Wave band featuring Debbie Harry) that my girlfriend loaned to me and I saw a picture of a party going on at the legendary CBGB club. Amongst the crowd inside were the members of the duo Sic Fux. There were more pictures of the duo throughout the book.

Get the sic fux mug.quite simply, this is a term used to describe former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry. His vocal crooning styles, his habit of wearing stylish clothes when he plays the piano, synthesizer, and occasionally guitar, his stylish, suave, sophisticated and elegant image that he shows in pictures, performance and video and the fact that Roxy Music inspired punk rock and New Wave leads to this designation. Today he pursues his solo career, sometimes covering artists that inspire him - like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and yes, Frank Sinatra. His sound is now generally the New Romantic and Eurodisco styles that Roxy Music laid the foundation for.
I heard Roxy Music on the radio and saw some of their videos (as well as Bryan Ferry solo)on MTV in the Eighties. In 1990 I had a buyer's card filled up with purchase punches which meant I could get a free album. The girl at the checkout said that the album I got (a Roxy best-of) was really good, and she said that Bryan Ferry is a "punk Sinatra". Man was she right! I've been a fan ever since.

Get the punk Sinatra mug.The personal anthem of the famous Cookie Monster on the wonderful PBS educational kids show Sesame Street. The song also gives kids a few pointers on the letter "C". We all love the Cookie Monster.
Here's the lyrics to the song.
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!

Get the C is for Cookie mug.Pat DiNizio, singer/rhythm guitarist/songwriter of the cool New Jersey garage rock/alternative rock band Smithereens says that this phrase, which is the title of a hit from their 1991 album "Blow Up", means basically "Hey man, c'est la vie". This is in the CD liner notes of the album "Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens".
