dub plate #1; champions necessarily relinquish anonymity...

listening to the gilles peterson danny rodigan special (rodigan inside the tardis??? whaaa!!! big tings a gwan...) with mar and the tenor saw plate ring the alarm (rodigan dub) made me must do it; anybody who know me for real know that queen's we are the champions is my theme song when i rule the world. every time i enter the space, it will play. [keep reading below while you listen...]

my dub plate lyrics, as-sung-in-my-head, still by queen:

she paid her dues

time after time

she earned the right

to say "this chune is mine"

made bad mistakes

maybe more than a few

she take her share of licks in this life

but bartels getting through

and she need to go on and on and on and on

she is a champion my friends

and she'll keep on fighting till the end

she is a champion

she is the champion

no time for losers

'cause bartels is champion

of the world

she took some bows

a few curtain calls

wasn't seeking fame and fortune and everyting that goes with it

but she thanks you all

it's been no bed of roses

no pleasure cruise

faced her challenges before the whole human race

and she not gonna lose

and she need to go on and on and on and on

she is a champion my friends

and she'll keep on fighting till the end

she is a champion

she is the champion

no time for losers

'cause bartels is champion

of the world

we are the champions my friends

and we'll keep on fighting till the end

oh we are the champions

we are the champions

no time for losers

bartels is champion...

walk good.
