1. a 1980 number one hit for the R&B/funk/post-discogroup Lipps,Inc. (pronounced "lip synch" - yes, that's how U say it). They were basically a one hit wonder.
2. a Top 10 hit in 1987 for the Australian New Wave group Pseudo Echo. It has a harder-edged sound than the original seven years before. A genuine butt kicker. Pseudo Echo also scored a hit with their own "Living in a Dream" earlier in 1987.
3. because of their playing the Pseudo Echo hit, San Francisco radio stations gave the nickname "Funky Town" to their city itself.

1. In the 21st century we have the worst economy since the Great Depression, a severe lack of decent good-paying jobs, a lack of opportunities for college graduates, war, terrorism, corruption in government, Big Brother hovering over us, intolerance, corporate greed, shitty music, shitty TV, shitty movies - man, we are in Suck City.

Jeff: Suck City, here we come.

it's how everyone on the planet spells the word "color" except us Yanks, thanks to the spelling reforms of Noah Webster.
1. I was watching TV in my hotel room late at night in Niagara Falls, Canada. I could get American and Canadian TV signals there because I was at the border. There was an ad for Clairol with some lovely chicks showcasing their hair. Next to a lovely babe with long red hair was the logo: it said "Clairol Colour Treatment". I was watching an ad on Canadian TV.
2. At Oakes Parks in the Niagara area I was having a nice discussion with a Canuck lady. She said that I must be an American because I said "out" as opposed to "ewt". I said that yes I'm a Yank and that I spell "colour" with 5 letters, not 6.
3. Cyndi Lauper had a hit in 1986 with "True Colors". In 1998 Phil Collins released his version of it, respelling it as "True Colours" beings that he is British.
3. "Any Colour You Like" is a synthesizer-heavy instrumental by Pink Floyd.
4. The TA for one of my college classes is a Canadian. He says that American spelling for words like "catalogue" becoming "catalog" and dropping the "u" in "colour" to make "color" is a sign of laziness. Hey, it eliminates excess baggage. It's called "simplifying". That's the American way, fella!
5. Eeeeeeeeeyeww! What's your favorite color baby? ... LIVING COLOUR.

1. a refreshing bubbly soft drink that is loaded with jet fuel!
2. the reason why the Beatles changed the name of their epic album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

1. I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper, would you like to be a Pepper too? Be a Pepper. Drink Dr. Pepper.
2. Dr. Pepper got promoted to Seargeant.
3. Last year I got to listen to the entire Guns N Roses catalog online, including the too-often-delayed long-awaited-and-overdue new album "Chinese Democracy". It's a really good album, it kicks some major ass and has a lot of diversity in the songs. Just don't take so long next time, OK fellas?
After hearing the last track there was a link taking me to "drpepper.com". Dr. Pepper made a bet: if the new GNR album was released last year then EVERYONE in America would get a free drink. There was a time limit window for this, however. You had to hit a link to register in order to get a coupon (to be printed) good for a FREE 20 oz. bottle of Dr. Pepper. I couldn't get ON there! I was on hold FOREVER. Apparently so were many other people. The corporation heads decided to "extend" the time window by a few hours. When I FINALLY got on the desired page there was a message that said that I was too late - the window of opportunity had expired by 15 minutes! Lemme see, we have over 265 million people in the United States so that would mean how many drinks...

Pink Floyd is one of the most intelligent rock bands in the business. This British psychedelic band put on the best shows in the universe. Mind-tripping music with deep lyrics concerning life, the human condition and more - asking questions that have no easy answers. Disbanded earlier this year after over 40 years of great music.
Ignorant Conservative Christian/Fundamentalist:
Pink Floyd music glories the drug culture.
Rock'n'roller:
You're always shooting off the mouth about things that you know nothing about. You should listen to the lyrics more. Pink Floyd plays intelligent rock, so GO TO FUCKING HELL YOU STUPID DUMB-BUTT IGNORANT FANATIC!
