The zipper face is cool and really creepy.

This is Chook, a lyre bird at the Adelaide zoo, he's imitating the sounds of construction work and workers.

A little introduction to lyre birds by David Attenborough (2 mins. 54 secs.).

Was lucky enough to see one of these in the wild, a shame I was so hung over.Quote:

I mentioned this song on the George Michael thread because he did a version of this song in which he also blended the Motown classic "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", and ever since then, the original version of this song has been going through my mind again, so here it is... ;)
It's a timeless song, not just on account of the tune itself, but also on account of the lyrics — they still apply today. :cool:
Not very lounge-ish but an awesome Aussie number.

This thread is great for me. So much music I don't get exposed to.:smiley-dance013::cool:
The fireworks look awesome, thanks to whoever is responsible for that.
Just under six hours left of 2016 here. Will post some photos of Brisbane's fireworks here next year.
Happy New Year everyone!

The Fireworks is a plugin in vBulletin. We used it last year as well. I've only just enabled it, but it wasn't working, and then Malc took a look at it from the server end, and he had to enable it there too, so now it does work. :)Quote:

Joan does a really good rendition of Jimmy Ruffin's classic... ;)
Another song by Joan Osborne, and probably the one that brought her into the public attention. And just in case you didn't know, this song was written by Prince. ;)
.
Wow, knowing Prince wrote that song wows me.
Like every other artist, Prince had himself been influenced by and learned from other artists before him, and so he himself in turn wrote a number of songs for other artists while using fake names — e.g. "Christopher" and "Alexander Nevermind" — and without asking for any royalties. He said that it was his way of giving something in return for what he himself had gotten from those who had gone before him.Quote:

And of course, he was also the songwriter and producer of Vanity 6, Sheila E., and — at the time of the movie Purple Rain — of Appolonia 6 and Morris Day & The Time. ;)
The Blessed Purple Rain...

I don't normally post this kind of stuff but I just came across these guys and was blown away. A super group I dare say not many people have heard of.
If you're into prog rock and or jazz this may be up your alley. For reference the horn/wind player is the guy from The Mars Volta (well 3 of their albums at least).

I've just listened to that whole album, and these guys are very good. ;) Thanks for posting. :)Quote:
