GGN Thread About Nothing #93: Kids, You'll Never Walk Alone. Except maybe in New England

Today, the music is foreign, but the rules are the same ones you know and love.

1) Don't be stupid. No politics, no excessive swearing, and no cursing out other people. No porn. No graphic violence/ gore. Period.

2) The mods have ultimate, mind boggling authority. Sp0rtsfan86 and Smackdad are the TAN mods. If they say drop it, let it go. Same goes for any other mod/editor. Don't argue with the mods. They have final say, period.

3) Avoid joking at someone else's expense. Don't engage in personal attacks or insults. Don't be the know it all. Have fun, be friendly

4) Arguments are not what the TAN is about. It's about being friendly, getting to know everyone and conversation. Try to see the other person's point of view. Nothing wrong with disagreement, but don't resort to personal attacks and insults. Attacking the reasoning is fine; attacking the person is not.

5) Do not talk ill of others, especially those that are not TANNERS. If somebody you miss hasn't been around, say you miss them, express your concern for them, but do not criticize them for not being around.

6) If a topic is borderline you will be warned. Do not argue. Accept it and move on.

7) Enjoy the TAN, enjoy the internet friends you've met. Other sites don't have threads like this. Enjoy the fact you can rant about work, school, etc. on GGN. Enjoy the cat pics. Tell everyone you know or hope to know English came from England.

8) If there is a problem email sp0rtsfan86 at sp0rtsfan86@optonline.net or Smackdad at macgregorwells@yahoo.com. Or me at arun7989@yahoo.com if you don't want to bug the big guys. We'll try to work something out so that we don't have issues. We promise you will remain anonymous.

Now, the music. The first piece is from a language some of you may recognise as the original (and far superior) form of English. It comes from an old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical (Carousel), there are American covers by Elvis and Frank Sinatra among others if you prefer, but here it is sung by Scousers, as it should be. Even if the original came from Broadway, this one has been appropriated on the East side if the Atlantic.

The second moves us to the Far East. There were a ton of interesting language options, but I thought I'd go with Tagalog here, partly because the Philippines recently had their version of Memorial Day, and also partly because the below song's title means Child or Kid and that makes my title work. Oh, and plus, the Philippines was an American colony until about 60 years ago, for any history buffs among you. Or Filipino members of GGN (I haven't met one yet. Say Hi if you're there!).
