ROFL DON To each his Own

Although I like some of Toto's Stuff The first 2 Minutes of this one was
a Waste of 2 Minutes I would have lost,
if I didn't Fast forward.

Don't know what all the Clicking was supposed to be ?
Some type of African Anteater Language

(For some reason I never understood Or liked hearing someone snap their fingers.
and especially not to music. I always wanna Slap people who snap their fingers
to jazz or while dancing )

"it's like oooh look at me, I can dance and Snap"

SMACK !!!!!!

"oooh ! Look at you ! you can pick yourself up off the floor now "

The clicking is the sound of rain drops--as is the hitting against the legs; representing heavy rain--then tapering off.
Hopefully, you're pulling my leg.
Don.....

LOL I'm joking about the SMACK !!!!!! I am not really Violent

But I'm not joking about finger snapping.
it really does Bug me
& I won't use the word I want to for it.

I had someone try to get my attention once by snapping their fingers.
I knew what they were doing, as I Glanced, & Turned & Purposely walked away ignoreing them. My name don't sound like Klicks & Neither does Hey you

didn't
sound like rain to me either
I just think a recording of rain would have been more adult

Don/Jeff,

Since my choice on songs went over like a lead balloon.....lol.....

I'll try to redeem myself with a better song by Toto....which shows their talent especially on the guitars.....

"While my guitar gently weeps"...enjoy!

 

[jeff of pa]

I almost posted that one yesterday Bill, but when I saw & was reminded
of Georgy Porgy I went with that.

I always Liked gently weeps ! great Cover

Bill, he's no Eric Clapton, but it works It sounds good, but lacks the soul that Eric puts into it. Santana is the same way, plays with soul that you can feel.
Never a big Toto fan either, but do like some of their songs and Africa is a standout I can also tell you that whoever directed the filming of that concert was a big fan, he knew where the cameras should be focused at all times. That is most unusual, especially for concert footage

Don, well at least you have me in your corner and that's nothing to brag about I enjoyed that a cappella version, especially the smooth vocals of that male singer

 

[Mackaydon]

Spartacus 53,
If you enjoyed the version I referenced, you might also like this modern version of a song that was popular in the early 70s; still a classic in my book.
Don.......

 

[spartacus53]

Nice voice and cute too. Do you have her phone number?

 

[Mackaydon]

I never understood a word but she held my attention also.
Don....
