Great song by Pet Shop Boys called “What Keeps Mankind Alive?:

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
to purge us of the seven deadly sins
should first sort out the basic food position
then start your preaching, that’s where it begins

You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
should learn for all time how the world is run
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
food is the first thing, morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
get proper helpings when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive? The fact that millions
are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
at keeping its humanity repressed
For once you must not try to shirk the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

You say the girls may strip with your permission
You draw the line dividing art from sin
So first sort out the basic food position
then start your preaching, that’s where it begins

You lot who bank on your desires and our disgust
should learn for all time how the world is run
Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
food is the first thing, morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
get proper helpings when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive? The fact that millions
are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
at keeping its humanity repressed
For once you must not try to shirk the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
at keeping its humanity repressed
For once you must not try to shirk the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

What a perfect week for a great biking song:

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, bike!

[Spoken]
We can bike if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t bike and if they don’t bike
Well they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can bike

[Sung]
We can bike if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t bike and if they don’t bike
Well they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can bike
Bike!

We can go when we want to
Morning is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our helmets to our feet
And surprise ‘em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don’t nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

[Refrain]
I say, we can bike, we can bike
Everything out of control
We can bike, we can bike
We’re doing it from wall to wall
We can bike, we can bike
Everybody look at your hands
We can bike, we can bike
Everybody takin’ the cha-a-a-ance

Safety bike
Is it safe to bike
Is it safe to bike

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, bike!

We can bike if we want to
We’ve got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything’ll work out right
I say, we can bike if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t bike and if they don’t bike
Well they’re no friends of mine

[Refrain]

Is it safe to bike, oh is it safe to bike [6x]
Is it safe to bike

The following videos really made my day. Thank you Amy for letting me know. Also, thank you Matt for making them. The put tears in my eyes.

Don’t forget the 2005 and 2006 editions.

These videos are just another proof that the world is a really happy and pretty place. Let’s work together to keep it that way.

What do you do when you have a song stuck in your head? How do you get rid of it? Well, why get rid of it in the first place? Me, well, I enjoy the ride. Especially if song is as awesome song as:

Moby ~ “Dream About Me”

Babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie
On the phone to me

Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There’s enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Colour fills our lives
Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Babe
Oh, dream about me
On the phone
Talking quietly

I wanna be yours
I want you be mine
Against red skies
For all time

So dream about us
When you’re alone
Just dream about
How I will let go

Hand
Hand

Babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie
On the phone to me

Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There’s enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Colour fills our lives
Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Just dream about
Colour fills our song
Just dream about
How I will let go
