To be honest, I hadn't even listened to the full song at the time of my piddling posting. It is quite crude, though funny, and I considered deleting it (I came to this site from a much cruder forum). I just thought it a rather amusing and interesting example when it came to TCat's "Anything water-based counts" statement. Considering my earlier post about micturition (Handle's Passing Water Music), it may have been a bit too much. Maybe I was just pissing in the wind, but it's all water under the bridge now. ;)

Incidentally, some people here are panheads, I'm more of a bedpan head. I could do with a splash of the amber nectar right about now.

I’ve always enjoyed Jane’s Addiction’s song, Standing in the Shower, Thinking (And Pissing on Myself). That has two streams of water, so must be doubly suitable for this poll, no? 😜💧💦

Thanks you all for your answers.

I give up on Mary by Alberto Fortis because I can't find the video of the original version, and 

I give up on Dont Drink The Water by DMB, too well known in the States.


The third one I have selected, Acque by Francesco Guccini, a semi-unknown song (even in Italy) that I love (moreover, as usual, it has a fantastic philosophical text) I have put it only for those who want to listen to it, without thinking of nominating it (thanks to Nicki and Suitkees for the mini reviews), because now you know Guccini enough.

So at this point I'm looking for another song that will be my nomination.

My nomination is:

The Gang: Dopo la Pioggia (After the Rain)




DOPO LA PIOGGIA (AFTER THE RAIN)

In the advancing night
with the fever of the hour
the end devours us
falls in love with silence
but there is a scratch on the heart
which seems like a clue
it is blood that shines
is the starting signal
it is the bank that collapses
is the bridge of fog
it is the flood of hatred
it is hell that breaks out
when around it is malaria
when around it is slaughter
when the temple is violated
it is carnal violence

CHORUS
When the day comes
it will be salt on the snow
it will be drop on the rock
it will be after the rain
after the rain
it will be


There is a snake crawling
of Mary between her thighs
there is a murdering Christ
that is reborn from the blood
there is that we are skidding
in the advancing night
we are calling
and nobody listens to us.

CHORUS
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Yes I know. Very delicate song. In the beginning you can listen to the Natve American 's singing for the rain.

If you want to listen to another delicate song by Fortis,

Everyone start deciding who you want to nominate as your choice for voting from the songs you have posted and we'll open up voting on Wednesday or Thursday.  I'm going with Patrick Watson "Here Comes the River".

Just to make it clear, right now all you are doing is selecting one of your songs that you posted yourself to put up for the team to vote on.  Leave a comment in this thread and then I will put it in the voting list above.  Please tell me your nomination by Wednesday.

OK, I'm going with Susan McKeown's "Lowlands of Holland."  I've only gotten through Page One for listening so far, but might have time this week to make up for lost time.

Here's one from me, it is a Deep Purple track once again. No matter the fact that it is a cover, I believe it qualifies, off the band's self-titled third album.

And this one doesn't playing for me. What song is it?

It's River Deep Mountain High. 
Yes, it is. But it is the Deep Purple cover.
