Title: Those Were The Days
Song: 'Those Were The Days' performed by Mary Hopkins
Length : 3.22mins
Notes : Just me having a bit of fun. An idea which I blame on Angel's comment about not being cheap and my being old enough to remember this song. Definitely a case of Angel using sepia tinted glasses to remember the past. There are lyrics somewhere I just haven't had time to sort them out yet.  Hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much :) The four are great aren't they - there were so many clips I wanted to use but didn't fit the mood. Save them for another time!

Absolutely fantastic! And, by the way, the song is the English-language version of an old Russian song "Long Road". It's usually stylized as a Gipsy song in my country.

Just in case - here are Russian lyrics

Pleased you enjoyed the vid.

Thanks for the links - I'd seen it was originally a Russian folk song when I was checking for credits - and the fact that it's usually stylized as a gipsy song is pretty ironic considering Angel's curse :D

Yes, it was the first thing that occurred to me as soon as I heard the first notes... :)

Thank you again for a great clip - it totally made my day!

Great that it adds to the joke - a bit of luck for me ;-). Plus I love your icon

Oh, this is awesome! I was curious to see what you'd make of this song and knew I'd like it as soon as the first title appeared. By the comment about Angel's accent I was laughing heartily.

Thank you so much. I've had this song kicking around for ages so it was about time I did something with it.

I couldn't resist the jibe about the accent - it seems to be the only thing most people comment about Liam/Angelus.

Oh this is ADORABLE! ♥ ♥ ♥

Just utterly charming and fills me with so much nostalgia... *deep sigh* Also Angelus and Darla were THE best couple! The sheer glee and delight they share is utterly infectious. :)

Thank you so much

I was always fond of Angelus & Darla - even when she's belting on the back of the head with a shovel ;)

Wonderful. What a great idea of combining the FF with that song - they work beautifully together.

Bwah hah hah This is excellent. I always did love that line of Angel's and the hint of a brogue that slipped in with it.

Except, do you know how long I'm going to have this song stuck in my head now? Days, I tell you. A real earworm, this one.

I wish to apologise now for the earworm song. Just mentioning the title alone to a friend of mine had it playing in her head a whole day.

I am delighted you found it funny. Yes it's one of my favourite Angel quotes too - especially the looks it gets from Cordy and Wes plus Angel's brogue is strangely attractive.

DLing, so long as the library cooperates, but even just seeing the damn title has me singing it again!

Damn you and your earworms...

Hee!

Mwahaha mine is an evil earworm song with Banjoes, oompha bands and key changes (though I edited that bit out) - if ever there was a eurovision song this would have been it!

If you can't get it I can revert to evil plan #2 and send it on the disc when I do the other stuff.

Looks like the dl worked - can't watch on the library computer though, so will review later! I'm uploading something for you btw... it's telling me it'll take another half hour so I'll email you the link!

Thank you ! I wondered whether they were funny or not so it good to know that you thought so!

Also I meant to leave a comment on your sizzling Buffy/Spike artwork the other day but I was overcome and had to go lie down a while ;-) Now I am a bit more composed I'll go and comment.
