80’s rumor prediction works well in Colombia in 2005 • 05.17.05
“The Timex Social Club” members should be happy today, because of their song Rumors [you can read the lyrics here]. After almost 20 years, gossip that leads to rumors has officially been banned in a city in Colombia.
Anyone found gossiping can be sent to prison for up to 4 years in that city. Rumor has it [hmmm] that gossiping led to the murder of one person [was the police involved? rumor doesn't explain very well] and also to the imprisonment of people [was the police competent? rumor doesn't explain that very well either]. Don’t tell anyone I told you about this rumor [pssst].
I wonder what the students will talk about now in that city [siigh]. I like the song, so this is an opportunity to put the lyrics here:
Lyrics for the song Rumors by Timex Social ClubHow do rumors get started, they’re started by the jealous people and
They get mad seein’ somethin’ they had and sombody else is holdin’
They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
These wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think it’s cute, but girl, I’m not impressed
I tell you one time only with my business please don’t messLook at all these rumors surroundin’ me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more
My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next doorHear the one about Tina, some say she’s much too loose
That came straight from a guy who claims he’s tastin’ her juice
Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay
I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn’t move that way
Hear the one about Susan, some say she’s just a tease
In a camisole she’s six feet tall, she’ll knock you to your kneesLook at all these rumors surroundin’ me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more
My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next doorI can’t go no place without somebody pointin’ a finger
I can’t show my face ‘cause when it comes to rumors I’m a dead ringer
It seems from rumors I just can’t get away
I bet there’ll even be rumors floatin’ around on Judgment Day
I’ll think I’ll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
For the next time they catch somebody startin’ rumors, shoot to killLook at all these rumors surroundin’ me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more
My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next doorWhat’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life
I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life
I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life
I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my lifeLook at all these rumors surroundin’ me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more
My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next doorLook at all these rumors surroundin’ me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more
My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next doorStop (Stop) spreadin’ those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ the lies
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ the liesStop (Stop) spreadin’ those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ the lies
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ the liesStop (Stop) spreadin’ those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin’ the lies
