XR don’t want to change the system, they just want to solve a problem caused by capitalism…without getting rid of capitalism.

They think they’re like the anti-segregation activists in the southern U.S. in the ‘Sixties – when they’re really much similar to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

If he wants to play Top Trumps with organisations, fine: the SPGB – 300 members; XR – 1 million members; the Jehovah’s Witnesses – 8.5 million members.

I can’t wait until December to post this song.

Christmas Dream – Perry Como

I could have sworn it was written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, but it was written by Andrew Lloyd-Webber & Tim Rice (except the German lyrics, which were written by some German dude).

Here’s a lovely song* from a band from Toronto you should definitely check ooot (if you haven’t already).

Thanks for posting that other Weezer song, Rod. I only knew their song ‘Buddy Holly’, but will definitely check them out, after listening to ‘Island in the Sun’.

Buddy Holly by Weezer

This has a superb music video, to boot.

New Year’s Day by U2

This has the memorable lyric: ‘And so we’re told this is the golden age
‘And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
‘Though I want to be with you
‘Be with you night and day
‘Nothing changes
‘On New Year’s Day’

You’re right. It was the lyric website that got it wrong. I should have noticed it was “Milo Venus”, because of the gummy Venus de Milo from the Simpsons’ episode: “Homer Badman”. Isn’t it pronounced: Meelo?

It’s good to know other people are listening to these songs, and I’m not just posting them for myself.

Brown-Eyed Handsome Man – Buddy Holly (originally by Chuck Berry)

Best lyric: Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her hand. She lost both her arms in a wrestling match to meet a brown-eyed handsome man. She went and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man.

In 1998, two animated films about insects were released: a Bug’s Life and Antz. Even though a Bug’s Life is more anti-imperialism, both films have Marxist undertones (they’re especially strong in Antz).

Here’s a great scene from a Bug’s Life that shows the illusion of power:
