Ranking every little thing in the Ian Dury track Reasons To Be Cheerful Pt. 3

Summertime

Look, not to obtain all ‘The Planet Is Dying’ ecologist here, yet the summertime temperature levels are getting stupidly warm and I dislike it.

So no, personally I do not believe Summer season is a great factor to be joyful.

Ranking: 41

Buddy Holly

I’m not a big fan of the work of Buddy Holly, yet he was popular in his time (and he influenced the identifying of the Beatles), so I get it.

Position: 13

The Working Folly

I do not know what this is.

I looked it up and most of the results had to do with this song.

I located a person who assumes this was a recommendation to the recession and quantity of out of work at the time of the tracks launch, and so to be working at all was a good idea.

I hate working nonetheless, so this is getting a low position from me.

Position: 59

Great Golly Miss Molly

I believed this was 2 entires at first: the act of saying good golly, and someone called Miss Molly.

No, rather it’s a tune by Little Richard. A timeless proto-punk rock n’ roll song.

It’s lively and fun, with some lovely shrieking from Little Richard; its a fantastic song and it absolutely cheers me up.

Ranking: 23

Watercrafts

Boats are excellent.

Looking all all the boats on a marina is most definitely in my checklist of preferred tasks, so this is getting a high spot from me.

Position: 14

Hammersmith Palais

This was a popular club in London, I intend kind of on the degree of the 100 Club.

There are particular songs locations that are simply renowned and mosting likely to them makes you happy, yet I have actually never ever been to the Hammersmith Palais so I have to place it lower regretfully.

Position: 46

Bolshoi Ballet

That understood that Ian Dury suched as ballet?

I do not however, so it’s not obtaining placed well below.

Unless we’re discussing the bears in the little automobiles, that would certainly be ranked greater!

Position: 53

Jump Back in the Alley

Is this a sex referral? Like utilizing the solutions of a sex worker?

Evidently, not. From what I’ve checked out, this is a referral to the little Richard tune Long Tall Sally.

Nevertheless I’m not 100 % persuaded, as the lyric in that track is “eluded back in the alley” whereas Ian Dury sings “Jump back in the street” which is close yet not specifically the exact same.

For that its getting a lower ranking

Position: 45

Nanny Goats

Yes, fully concur here.

Any individual who does not such as Nanny Goats has no spirit and likes being unpleasant.

Baby-sitter goats are certainly a factor to be happy.

Position: 24

18 -Wheeler Scammels

These are lorries.

Yet not contemporary, dull box-type ones.

Scammel trucks are from the very early 20 th century , and have that lovely, almost Art Deco style.

They look trendy, that are fun to consider, they are definitely a reason to be pleasant.

Position: 39

Dominica Camels

What’s terrific regarding this line is that there isn’t a subspecies of Camel called Dominica , the line just means ‘Camels from Dominica’.

He could have just stated ‘Argentina Camels’ instead and had the same effect.

Anyhow camels are fantastic, they are among the coolest pets you learn more about in college, so this is obtaining a great position.

Ranking: 26

All Other Mammals

After specifying Nanny Goats and Dominica Damels, it really feels a bit careless to then claim ‘Uh, yeah all the other animals too’.

However, I enjoy animals, so I’ll stick this set in the middle.

Position: 27

Equal Votes

I assume we can all concur that Ladies can vote is a good thing (and if you disagree, I don’t truly appreciate your viewpoint on anything).

All women finally got the right to vote in 1928, however certainly equality is not precisely a goal, however a path, and its nice to see Ian Dury taking it so seriously.

Ranking: 5

Seeing Piccadilly

Piccadilly is a very wonderful component of London , with Shaftesbury Memorial, London Pavillion and obviously Piccadilly Circus, the bustling active junction with the huge signboards.

Not a calm area to see, but certainly interesting!

Ranking: 33

Fanny Smith and Willy

Is THIS a sex recommendation?

I seem like I know this as a phrase, like Tom, Penis and Harry, however I actually assume this track is the beginning of it.

There is now an expert snowboarder called Fanny Smith , yet this isn’t a referral to her,.

Ranking: 38

Being Instead Foolish

One of the very best reasons for existing, fully agree!

What is life without silliness? It’s plain and tedious.

There’s even scientific research claiming that being ridiculous is good for you

Yes, I actually think this is such a crucial one that I’m ranking being ridiculous as the leading factor to be happy!

Ranking: 1

Porrige Oats

Yeah porridge is pretty yummy, particularly if you add sugar and fruits and stuff.

Strong mid-tier entrance.

Ranking: 34

A Bit of Grin and Bear It

This line is very much like ‘stuff upper lip’ and ‘keep one’s cool and continue’ of the post-war period.

Wouldn’t claim its a reason to be pleasant, more a ‘be joyful due to the fact that there’s keeping in mind else you can do’.

Position: 57

A Bit of Come and Share It

Sharing IS caring, so I get it. they do say it’s better to offer than to obtain!

Ranking: 16

You’re Welcome, We Can Save It

Generally the same as the line over, so it has to get generally the same positions right?

Ranking: 17

Yellow Socks

Vibrantly coloured socks are an easy and fun means to bring some happiness right into the globe.

Evidently there’s actual science behind it as well , but its likewise just enjoyable to alter it up and do something different to normal, like using yellow socks!

Ranking: 20

Also Brief To be Swaggering

I have literally no idea what this indicates.

Hoity-toity ways to be up on your own and consider yourself far better than other individuals.

Uncertain why Ian Dury thinks that being brief is the antithesis, however not being Haughty is a reason to be joyful, I intend.

Position: 56

As well Nutty to be Naughty

This HAS to be a sex thing, right?

But likewise I’m not truly certain what it even implies, so it’s a lower position.

Position: 55

Taking place Forty

It behaves to see someone class aging as a good idea and a reason to be delighted.

Way too many people appear to believe that life essentially finishes when you transform 30, so this is a beautiful one to check out.

Ranking: 35

No Electric Shocks

This was a reference to either a roadie called Charlie, or the bands drummer, Charlie Charles.

Whoever it was, the tale is that they obtained an electric shock and Ian Dury believed it would be amusing to say NOT being stunned is an advantage.

And he’s right.

Position: 19

The Juice of a Carrot

Okay I decline to believe any individual really likes carrot juice.

I like carrots and I such as carrot cake, yet not juice! So this is obtaining a low ranking simply based upon my very own food preferences.

Ranking: 54

The Smile of a Parrot

Do parrots grin?

I do not assume so, however like they sort of appear like it often?

Thats kinda trendy, and birds behave at least, so it’s absolutely not nothing.

Position: 40

A Little Decrease of Cherry

White wine is tasty, fully concur.

And there is something fun about stating ‘claret’ rather than ‘red wine’. Kind of like stating ‘plonk’ or ‘vino’.

so this gets ranked well as both the beverage and words are nice points.

Ranking: 18

Anything That Shakes

As with the ‘All Various other Animals’ line above, it really feels careless to simply state ‘primarily anything excellent is a reason to be satisfied’.

That being said, I probably can not really rank ‘anything that rocks’ low on reasons to be cheerful, as that’s simply complex.

So, mid-tier it is!

Ranking: 21

Elvis and Scotty

I was puzzled by this set and believed that it might be two separate empires, but its not!

Scotty is Scotty Moore, the band behind Heaven Moon children, which was Elvis Presleys support band!

Elvis is clearly a symbol and he did make some great songs, so this is a respectable access.

Ranking: 37

The Days When I Ain’t Erratic

This seems like a phrase definition ‘having a hard time to obtain my brain on duty’, and not feeling truly ‘with it’.

However I’m not 100 % and frankly it might even be actual and indicate ‘days when I don’t have acne’. (Possibly doesn’t mean that though)

I do not understand exactly how universal the sensation of not being with it is however, therefore for that I’m providing it a reduced ranking.

Position: 44

Sitting on a Potty

Its crude, however its also dead-on.

Resting on the toilet is wonderful.

And it’s come to be a popular thing that guys spend loads of time on the toilet , and I believe its because most of us know it’s a good feeling.

Remaining in a personal little room, no obligations or expectations to satisfy, and time to sit and let you brain stray or scroll on your phone.

Ranking: 8

Curing Smallpox

Certainly this is an excellent factor to be happy, but I’m ranking it even higher due to its comparison with the previous line regarding remaining on the potty.

However they are both reasons to be pleasant!

Ranking: 4

Wellness Solution Glasses

These glasses are not actually known for looking awesome, however I believe that this line is actually regarding the NHS.

And we all understand that the NHS is the best aspect of England, so this gets a high position.

Ranking: 11

Gigolos and Brasses

Hell yes, Ian Dury praising sex employees!

Sex job is genuine work.

Good on Ian for placing this in this song and I concur they are a factor to be cheerful!

Position: 7

Round or Skinny Bottoms

Okay, Ian Dury was an ass-man, validated!

And hi there, helpful for you bud. And iot’s terrific to recognize what youre right into, so this is getting ranked high.

Position: 10

Take Your Mum to Paris

What a wonderful line!

And I can picture it would quite be a factor to be happy.

So indeed, go take your mum to Paris and while you exist, take pleasure in a little decline of claret.

Ranking: 3

Lighting Up a Chalice

At first I assumed this was a cigarette brand and I was mosting likely to give it a reduced position, now I believe its a medications reference.

A chalice can be a term for basically a sort of bong.

And weed absolutely is a factor to be joyful, so its obtaining a higher position. It would be greater if I was particular about the meaning though.

Ranking: 15

Wee Willy Harris

This component of the track moves right into discussing a great deal of other musicians that Ian suches as, so I’ll try and be unbiased here when I give my positions.

So, Wee Willy Harris was an additional musician that was big in the 1950 s and 60 s. I have actually viewed some video of him and he is an enjoyable, energetic, nearly clown-like existence, and very fun!

Plus his name is intrinsically enjoyable to say.

Position: 31

Bantu Steven Biko

In addition to the referral to Equal Votes, this is one more referral to a progressive motion, as Steve Biko was an anti-apartheid protestor

He was regretfully eliminated for his views (or for just being black) so it behaves to see him acknowledged in the song.

Ranking: 48

Listening to Rico

This is more than likely a recommendation to Rico Rodrigues, a trumpet player during the first wave of Ska in the 50 s.

He played with Rate Buster and later on The Specials, so he was effectively known in the scene.

He is a fantastic trumpet gamer no doubt, and his songs actually is a factor to be satisfied.

Ranking: 36

Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Hell yes, timeless funny from the Marx siblings most definitely is a good idea and definitely a reason to be pleasant, also if their style of slapstick isn’t actually as preferred anymore.

Often you need to just value the classics.

Position: 29

Cheddar Cheese and Pickle

Look, it’s one of the best sandwiches of all time , confirmed.

It’s an easy timeless and its enjoyed by many, so I ‘d claim it is a good reason to be joyful.

Position: 9

A Vincent Motorcycle

Yeah, Motorcycles are amazing I presume.

Okay Vincent motorbikes are rather fabulous and they do have a cool uncovered style, yet they’re just just motorbikes.

Certainly not as trendy as Scammel trucks though.

Position: 52

Slap and Please

There we go, a real sex referral!

And a fun expression for it too!

However yeah, I think most individuals would certainly concur that sex is a factor to be happy, so it’s obtaining a high ranking.

Ranking: 6

Woody Allen

I understand, I understand, fatality of the musician and all that, but still.

Putting Woody Allen in your list of all the advantages on the planet feels wrong.

Hell, he has a whole Wikipedia page about his sexual assault accusations , so this is getting a LOW ranking.

Position: 60

Dali

Salvador Dali was among the greatest surrealist musicians ever before, as well as simply being a generally wayward individual.

Whether you take pleasure in ‘The Persistence of Memory’ or simply take pleasure in the fact that he had a animal Aardvark , Dali truly is a factor to be pleasant.

Position: 22

Dmitri

This one took a while to work out as Dmitri is an instead typical name.

It’s the name of a Russian Chemist , a major character in GTA 4 , and a number of famous composers.

However, Ian Dury is likely speaking about Dmitri Shostakovich

His most famous job, Symphony No. 5 is … penalty?

I’m not a substantial classical music person, yet likewise it isn’t very intense and dynamic, which are what I would anticipate from music that is expected to be happy.

Ranking: 47

Pascale

This line in the tune is where I stopped working.

I have no idea that this is describing.

Pascale is a French name and the womanly variation of Pascal.

There’s many popular Pascale’s , yet none that jump bent on me as the person he’s talking about.

Ranking: 58

Balla Balla Balla

I’m 90 % sure this is a song by The Rainbows from 1966

The Rainbows were a do-wop band (Believe Coastline Boys however with less rock-and-roll).

It is a fun song, if a little repeated.

Nevertheless Im still not 100 % this is who the tune is speaking about, so it’s getting tore down a few rankings for that.

Position: 32

And Volare

One more tough one to work out.

I believe that this is a tune called’ Nel blu, dipinto di blu yet much better known as Volare.

Its a classic track and was Italy’s choice for the Eurovision tune content in 1958 It’s type of a great track, yet I don’t understand just how much cheer is offered me, so it’s unfortunately obtaining a reduced ranking.

Position: 43

Something Nice to Research

When I get a hyper-fixation, it IS a truly fun point to learn everything I can about it.

Due to the fact that reading is trendy, children!

However of course, wanting something is a factor to be happy!

Ranking: 28

Phoning Up a Pal

Call are definitely dropping out of fashion nowadays, and thats sad.

When you are talking with a good friend and a quick call unexpectedly turns into 45 minutes, thats a beautiful feeling!

Position: 25

Being in my Nuddy

Let’s be sincere, who doesn’t love being nude? Wait, Is that a typical thing?

Whatever, this is my checklist, so I’m placing it high.

Ranking: 12

Stating Okey-Dokey

This is probably my favorite line in the song. It’s such an easy and yet global point to enjoy saying phrases that rhyme or seem nice.

Okey-dokey is such an enjoyable, wayward and practically music expression, it’s terrific!

Ranking: 2

Sing-along-a Smokie

Regarding I can inform, this is a recommendation to the song’ (In Addition To) Old Smokey , which is generally a singalong style song.

You’ll most likely recognize the parody variation ‘On Top of Spaghetti’ better.

The song has actually been covered by loads of artists, so I do not think the line is referencing any kind of particular version, simply the song itself.

It’s great, though I would certainly have ranked the parody version higher.

Ranking: 30

Getting out of Chokey

Chokey’ is jargon for prison, so leaving chokey suggests coming out of jail.

Now something that I have actually ever before experienced, but I definitely recognize that it would be a VERY good feeling.

Position: 51

John Coltrane Treble

John Coltrane was a saxophonist and a significant figure in jazz culture.

‘Soprano’ right here associated with his playing the treble saxophone, although it had not been his recommended instrument, being a lot more known for playing a tone saxophone.

He was a leader and an important figure, yet he himself doesn’t especially make me joyful.

Ranking: 50

Adie Celetano

This is a renowned Italian singer ( among other things , that is called the guy to bring Rock and Roll to Italy.

A great male and clearly traditionally very essential, but once more I don’t understand how much he himself is a reason to be happy.

Ranking: 49

Bueno Colino

And we end on an additional tough line to understand.

I searched the name online and located lots of outcomes regarding Kinder Bueno.

I think this is a recommendation to the actor’ Bonar Coleano , though every website with verses to this tune spells it’ Bueno Colino

He was a star, first working in music halls and after that working in film, prior to sadly passing away at the young age of 34

His wikipedia web page specifically points out that the tune references him, yet uses no proof to support this. Once again, I make certain he was terrific, however he himself isn’t much of a factor to be happy IMHO.

Position: 42
