| Feb-04-09 | | Karnatakiaditya: What is the pun about? |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | Abaduba: It's a pun off the title of the catchy but annoying song from one-hit-wonder band The Knack called "My Sharona." |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | Morten: Terrible suffocation experience for white here. |

| Feb-04-09 | | kellmano: How come whenever I play the dragon as black it looks very similar to about move 15 and then i get stuffed on the kingside before any sniff of an attack on black's king? |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | Chessmensch: Thanks, <Abaduba>. You are likely correct, but I never heard of them. I thought it was perhaps My Persona. |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | cydmd: <kellmano>, White played too much passively. The result is no surprise for a double edge game like that. |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | sfm: <kellmano: ...i get stuffed on the kingside before any sniff of an attack on black's king?>
You mean "White's king". :-)
And yes, that is how it often ends. Everyone and his uncle knows how to do the attack as White. As black we need to think more. |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | kevin86: In order to understand the pun,you must have "the knack". Black will be able to gain a second queen after he chases the king away. |

 | | perfidious: <Chessmensch> The info Abaduba gives is correct-this song, and the album, made it to #1 in the USA in the fall of 1979. |

| Feb-04-09 | | Once: Quite possibly one of the most annoying songs of all time. Here it is, in all its glory. Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona... Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona... When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona... |

| Feb-04-09 | | laskereshevsky: not a long ago i absent-minded read somewhere, cant remember exactly in wich one paper, a poll about the best ever-song.... I cant remeber the exactly rank, but at least My Sharona was in the top-ten My strogly expetacion is that this high-rank was achieved not for the text... much better the music, expecial the drums and guitars part, involving rhythm |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | Jim Bartle: Were "Sugar Sugar," "Yummy Yummy Yummy," and "Dizzy" numbers 1 through 3 on that list? |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | dumbgai: What about The Final Countdown? |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | dumbgai: <kellmano: How come whenever I play the dragon as black it looks very similar to about move 15 and then i get stuffed on the kingside before any sniff of an attack on black's king?> That applies to every opening for me. I try to play like the GMs and just get crushed. |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | laskereshevsky: <dumbgai:> <What about The Final Countdown?> 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.....GO! ....:) |

| Feb-04-09 | | Travis Bickle: WHT is trashed canned and busted LOL. |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: great game |
|
| Feb-04-09 | | xrt999: if Jackie Chan played chess, and met a female Bruce Lee, and they hooked up, had a baby, and that baby grew up and met Josh Waitzkin, and that baby and Josh played a chess game, this is what that game would look like. |

| Feb-06-09 | | teak poker: <once>, <laskereshevsky> et al: And don't overlook "Louie Louie"! |
|
| Feb-06-09 | | Once: <teak poker: And don't overlook "Louie Louie"!> Not one I know, but by the power of the internet (and apologies to all for the off topic posting) ... CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home
CHORUS
Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.
CHORUS
Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
GUITAR SOLO
See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again
CHORUS
Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!! |
