Why does it feel so bad to win?

Come on brother, you are on the 2000 land, you could swipe us all on here, that already is a mental win there and a mental loss for us.

So, be more humble, draw, no swipe!

Lol.

Congrats Marco, you are a good troll level 11 after all.

Lololol.

HAHA!!

How do you know the thing about my level 11 or 12 in trolling?

Yes, you are Robert or at least Naj.

Come on dud, there is no place in this thread for quotes from famous movies/poems/intelectual things I dont know about.

At least educate us in the process. Im too lazy to copy and paste that on google.

I can read notes.

I think Marco is trolling me, we all know Im not Robert.

Why do you guys remember Naj so much? I wonder where he is and who he was. He achieved a masterpiece.

Acaso Robert puede hablar espanol a este nivel? Solo hace falta que lean mis rimas y aprecien mi intelecto, mi fluidez, mi genialidad. Claro, creo que ahora estaran confundidos, que ser humano puede hablar 2 idiomas a tal nivel? Lo se, lo se, impresionante, como yo!
Tristemente no se como hablar portugues, lo cual me roba mi genialidad.

Pero puedo hablar frances! Si retrocediera en el tiempo y pusiera atencion a las clases. LOL.

So now, am I still Robert? That paragraph is clearly google traductor-proof.

Now I only need to learn Russian and I will be able to get hot rusky women looking for Mexican men, just like in the adds chess.com presents me!

Nothing fancy, just an old song.

No offense dud but my ears bled.

Had to listen to next song to stop the bleeding.

No problem. I like at least a few songs in just about every genre. I think the one I quoted was disco? I'm not a big fan of it though.

Plot[edit]

The song is a dying protagonist's farewell to relatives and friends. The protagonist mentions how hard it will be to die now that the spring season has arrived (historically, spring is portrayed as the season of new life).

Original version[edit]

The original French-language song is a sardonic ballad, in which the speaker gives backhanded farewells to his adulterous wife and her lover and the priest he disagreed with while sarcastically expressing his wish that there should be singing and dancing when he is buried. Before Jacks popularized the song, earlier recordings had been released by The Kingston Trio with the first cover version of McKuen's translation in 1963 and the British band The Fortunes in 1968.

Terry Jacks version[edit]

Jacks's version was recorded in Vancouver in 1973 by Jacks and his wife at the time, Susan Jacks. They made the decision to record the song when the Beach Boys, who recorded a version with Terry Jacks producing, decided to abandon their recording.

Although prior English-language versions had attempted to retain the sarcastic tone of the original French song, Jacks opted to make it more sentimental. In each verse, the protagonist bids farewell to someone important in his life:

• The first verse refers to "a trusted friend" that he had known since he was "9 or 10". The original specifically names the friend as "Émile", which Jacks's versions does not.
• The second verse refers to the protagonist's father (who unsuccessfully tried to warn him of his lifestyle); this verse differed from the original as it was sung in a manner which downplayed the original's bitter tone of regret.
• The third verse refers to "Michelle, my little one" (implied to be his daughter, who will now grow up without her father). This verse completely replaced the third and fourth verses referring to infidelity in the French original.

It was released under Jacks's own name on his label, Goldfish Records and immediately topped the record charts in the U.S. (where it was released on Bell Records), in Canada, and the UK,^[3] selling over 14 million copies worldwide.

Jacks's version was released in the United States in December 1973, and made the Billboard Hot 100 a month later. On March 2, 1974, the song began a three-week run at No. 1 atop the Hot 100, and remained in the top 40 until almost Memorial Day weekend. Jacks's version also spent one week on the Easy Listening charts.^[4]Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 song for 1974.^[5] Although he released several other singles that were moderately successful in Canada, "Seasons in the Sun" would become Jacks's only major solo hit in the United States.^[6] In Canada, the single (Gold Fish GF 100) reached #1 on the RPM Magazine charts January 26, 1974, and remained there 4 weeks.

Though the song enjoyed contemporary success, modern criticism has tended to be more critical of Jacks's overly sentimentalized rewriting of the original song. Jacks's version is commonly held up as an example of bad music, having been called one of the worst pop songs ever recorded, and ranking number five on a CNN poll in 2006.^[7]

I like old music because  people praise me for being young and knowing that music.

Lol.

JOKE, I dont go out to the streets, last time a dud tried to stole my humbility.

 I listen to a lot of EDM while playing blitz. But e.g. this is totally different:

I used to sing this to my wife until she told me I was not manly enough and that I should sing Espinoza Paz trash instead. Then she left home, I entered depression and started playing chess.

Lol at your playlist.

I dont like Jazz.

I usually listen to Europe when playing blitz, altho I used to hear oldies.

Like this is so much exciting for blitz.

This one is nice to twerk while playing blitz:

And these 2 are good to sing when you are inspired.

The Beatles are also nice, but chess.com would explode if I were to post all of their good songs.

Lol at the australian dud, peed my pants and died of a cringe attack.

amazing stuff.  even better than william hung
