Friday Funk: Barrons Edition



My Sister-in-law Hannah does a regular Friday feature over at her place called
Friday Funk. I thought it might be fun to occasionally feature a song that makes me think of books.







I just finished Shadowfever last night, so I've got Barrons on the brain:



Who doesn't think of Dreamfever's Chapter 4 when they hear the word "Tubthumping"? Now that I've finished Shadowfever, the lyrics seem even more appropriate...



Tubthumping by Chumbawamba

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down


Have a wonderful weekend!

  7. I still can't get Barrons off my brain and it has been almost a week since I read it! Perfect post. I'm calling what I have Post Traumatic Barrons Syndrome.
