Gary Glitter to be released from Vietnam prison
« on: August 14, 2008, 06:46:58 AM »
Music artist from the 70's Gary Glitter is to be released from a Vietnam prison and deported back to Great Britain after serving 3 months short of 4 years in prison there.  He was convicted of obscene acts with children there.  Even though alot of you might not know him by name, I'm sure you all have heard his song he's most famous for during alot of sports events, "Rock & Roll(Part2)", it goes "Banananana hey!  Bananana, Banananana hey! Bananana".

I think he has a serious problem with kids, it said that he was deported from Cambodia in 2002, but they wont say why, but I'm sure we can all guess why. 

It says he wants to get back in the music business, I don't think anyones gonna wanna work with him, or buy his music.

Here's a short article about it:

I don't think he will have a comfortable life back in Britain, to be honest. I can't see him leading a normal life.

Well ever lyric website I've seen has the lyrics the way I wrote them, plus as I was stating, it's the way most know it when it's played at sports events, and ever website I've checked has those lyrics for Rock & Roll Part 1.

I've got the album upstairs, I'll try to find it and check later today.

I just checked and Gary Glitter Rock & Roll(Part 2) does not have the lyrics in that video you posted, those are the lyrics for Rock & Roll(Part 1), so whoever made that video on YouTube made a labeling mistake by putting it was part 2 he's singing.

Well actually it's not my album, it's my fathers album, I'm sure he must have gotten it back in the 70's because it's vinyl and looks really old.
