'Time Bomb'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I have a lyrics interpretation question I wish I never had to ask. In the beginning of the Motley Crue song "Too Fast for Love", Vince Neil is yelling something that I cannot make out at all. All the lyrics sites I've found say the lyric is "Oh no, oh no" but it really is not that. It sounds something like RAGNAR! RAAAAGNAR!
but...okay, many of the Crue lyrics make very little sense but "Ragnar?"
Is he a Battlestar Galactica fan?
OK, if that's a reference to BSG it's a very odd one to make....

Dunno about the old one. But in the new one - in the miniseries they stop at Ragnar Anchorage to pick up munitions after the Cylon attack. It hasn't been mentioned since.

Ha. Wow. good memory. Anyway, this song was written long before the new BSG came about.
I might end up singing "Alf rules" or some other 2-syllable 80s appropriate thing if I can't find out what the real lyric is. I'm open to suggestions.
This, maybe?
According to the Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus, the pagan Ragnar belonged to the Swedish Yngling Dynasty, claiming to be a direct descendant of the god Odin.
Also, the Minnesota Vikings' mascot is named Ragnar.

Maybe Tommy Lee is more of a visionary than he's generally given credit for.
Edit: when I say "Tommy Lee," I mean "Vince Neil," as people do.
So, back to the subject of Brazil....
I downloaded a really hot version by a group called Pink Martini. They also have a version by Django Reinhardt which I suspect is intrumental only, but I'm thinking I should download anyway cuz Django Reinhardt. Any other input? Bueller?

Pink Martini is a contemporary group. If you like their "Brazil" you'd probably like their two albums.
Django is great, but yeah, it'll almost certainly be instrumental. You might want to find a version by Carmen Miranda or a forties pop singer. Carmen Miranda, maybe.
