BTW, you need special hats to get married in Scotland?

My mother and aunts do.

We have considered getting hitched but never got round to it. I'd probably do it if it was a captain that did the deed or if it involved burning a wickerman. A clerk or priest doesn't have the same draw.

....We just say "sambo". "Bo" means live and "sam" you can attach to any verb that you do with another person. Together-live, roughly.

I'm very concerned about using pleasant and beautiful words....

You'll be oblivious to this but Sambo ain't a very pleasant or beautiful word in English. It's fairly uncommon yet vulgar slang for a person of African origin.

I don't know for definite but there was a childrens book published years ago called "Little Black Sambo" about an African child being chased by a number of animals who wanted his clothes. He ended up being chased up a tree by a tiger who then ran around the tree all day & melted (something like that). The book had deeply racist connotations. I know all this because, unfortunately, I was read it in Primary School. I remember my Mum flipping out when I told her about it.

I don't consider it pleasant, it's quite utilitarian.

Every word means something nasty in some other language.

I can't get enough of this group. I have both their full length albums and I can't stop listening to them today.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkQZzYMehC4

Scott Walker - Boy Child.

So beautiful arranged it must have been a beacon for beauty in a world of noodling hippies when it was released.

An all time classic.

Scott's current meat slapping efforts have merit but Scott 4 is great art that doesn't look like it trying to be art.

A godlike classic.

And Michaels Velvets tune is a peach too.

Awesome song indeed. I just checked this because from the picture I thought it could be a live version. I wonder if Debaser86 request I do a cover of it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzFyMXNm ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is super divisive in my household, I can only play it when it's just me and the young un. It's either pure proto punk rock, musical mental illness, the effects of drugs in battery chickens or maybe all three.
