MUSIC - Anthony Callea and the lads of The Red Hot Chili Peppers bring us a live version of The Zephyr Song performed at Slane Castle for our listening pleasure today from The Entertainment Capitol of The World via Hollywood’s only South Pacific TV Channel online with Hollywood uploads. Enjoy.
Lyrics follow as poetry, below our fun logo talking point today.
This BMW racing car logo motif was originally posted in movie news featuring the making of the movie I Am Number 4. Seen it yet?
The Zephyr Song Lyrics sound great in a BMW. Lyrics could almost be an unofficial anthem of new, more fun and brighter roads ahead.
I think the old Jewish King, what was his name Solomon? would have approved of these lyrics with a chuckle, somehow, back in the day of his wise rule -
Can I get your hand to write on

THE ROYAL “LICK ME” STAMPS GET RECALLED DUE TO BIRTHDAY DATE BUNGLE
It was a very sweet idea for the New Zealand Postal Service to issue a range of “lick me” products, for customers of a royal theme to send their mail with.
Unfortunately, you can try your darndest to be sweet, but sometimes genuine mistakes, muck ups and bungles happen, as this story shows.
The pack, which sold for $19.90, was released this week but included the wrong birth date for the prince in the text.
Instead of the correct date of June 21, 1982, the pack said Prince William was born on May 21.
The mistake was not on either of the two $2.40 stamps of Prince William and Kate Middleton released yesterday by NZ Post but in the text of the presentation pack.
The “lick me” products go on sale again in packaged form, when the error has been amended. What a crazy country at the post box! Love it. Getting mail for months with royal wedding paraphernalia stamps is a Kiwi tradition. Go here to see that in effect. :)
