When all else fails..................try a little humour !!

Aug 13, '09 11:44 AM for everyone

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS,TRY A LITTLE HUMOUR.
(ALL IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE OF COURSE)

These people are singing ''The Shackle Shuffle'' at a protest demonstration  outside Faslane Trident base. Unfortunately, the original video I found of this song which was a  much better quality, along with virtually every other reference to the song............. has disappeared!!

 The exact words are hard to make out in places ''put your hands on your head, shackle shuffle to the right''.......etc sure you will get the jist even if you don't get all the exact words.

Like I said..............if all else fails, (and it has) let's try a little humour, and if you were wondering what the picture at the top is, it's campaigners singing  the Shackle Shuffle song  :-))

delete reply acousticeagle wrote on Aug 14, '09 I like the 'when all else fails' philosophy about humour. I think people that can make good light of a situation are taking a healthy approach to troubles and misfortunes. It's good optimism. But, what, Loretta, around your place/site is in a state of 'fails'? It all looks pretty good around here. Your last blog attracted a lot of comments and was super-interesting. Cheers, matey!

At first you feel humiliated Cos every move is regulated But as the beat interrogates you Join the club that liberates! At Guantanamo Bay, it's the U.S. of A., Shackle-Shuffle every day at the Club X-Ray At Guantanamo Bay, it's the U.S. of A., Shackle-Shuffle every day at the Club X-Ray Put your hands on your head ( Reach! ) And Shackle-Shuffle to the left ( Move! ) You do the monkey-squat and then ( Squat! ) You Shackle-Shuffle back again Bow in prayer to the East ( Pray! ) Down on your belly like a beast ( Beast! ) You're never gonna be released ( Peace! ) Till the day you're deceased It isn't really so important whether you came dressed as a combatant Or just a towel-headed farmer who had a cousin called Osama We're not conventional believers No busy-bodies from Geneva If you're a friend of Tora Bora There's no restriction on the door All you'll need to get in is the beard on your chin, An indefinite stay and you don't have to pay At Guantanamo Bay, it's the U.S. of A., Shackle-Shuffle every day at the Club X-Ray Put your hands on your head ( Reach! ) And Shackle-Shuffle to the left ( Move! ) You do the monkey-squat and then ( Squat! ) You Shackle-Shuffle back again Bow in prayer to the East ( Pray! ) Down on your belly like a beast ( Beast! ) You're never gonna be released ( Peace! ) Till the day you're deceased At this exclusive little venue Halal is always on the menu Free Toiletries, and what is more an Edition of Gideon's Koran O heck - did I forget to mention We're busy building an extension Where every wish will be respected As you are lethally injected! We'd a pipeline to lay, but you got in the way, So we sacrificed you to the needs of the few In the heat of High Noon you will dance to our tune An example to all to obey Unocal, See the prisoners kneel, with no right of appeal, In the land that is free - free to take liberty - Till the sea starts to boil, till we run out of oil In Guantanamo Bay… Hey - Hey! At the Club X-Ray! ( Shackle-Shuffle to the right ) Cha-cha-cha.
