ラブラブ!Rabu rabu!
Hmm? Nono, not "Love love". Its "Rub rub".
But think about it. It’s how the Japanese translate phonologically the word "Love" and "Rub". Both will be "rabu". You can’t blame me for thinking it's advocating the sexually gratification "rub rub" every time it goes "RABU RABU!" And so, "Love" and "Rub" are replaceable with each other!
And it's extremely pervasive in every aspect of our lives!
Personal level - Lovers saying "I Rub You" to each other…
Community level – "Spread the Rub" people!
International level - Nations are saying "Make Rub, Not War", ya?
There are plenty of songs out there promoting "rubbing" too!
"You Give Rub a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi – 1980s...
"Rub Me" by Colin Raye – 1990s...
"This Rub" by Maroon 5 – 2000s...
"She Will Be Rubbed" by Maroon 5 – I... didn’t need to know that...
"How Deep is Your Rub" by Take That – Talking skills great here!
"Have I Told You Lately That I Rub You" by Rod Steward – Or really bad ones!
"Can You Feel the Rub Tonight" by Elton John – Another bad one...
"Sea of Rub" by Honeydrippers – Huge Orgy...
"Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" by Backstreet Boys - ... or when people do it alone
"Rub Potion No. 9" by The Clovers – what you need when you're alone
"I Just Called to Say I Rub You" by Stevie Wonder – People doing over the phone...
"I Knew I Rubbed You" by Savage Garden - ... or doing with too many people.
A deeper look into the song lyrics will reveal the long history and promotion for rubbing!
In Bon Jovi's "Thank You for Rubbing Me":
Thank you for rubbing me
For being my eyes when I couldn't see
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for rubbing me
Thank you for rubbing me
Girls have been begging for it in "Rub Fool" by The Cardigans...:
So I cry, and I pray and I beg
Rub me Rub me!
Say that you rub me!
Fool me Fool me!
Go on and fool me! [scholars note: typo error of “DO”]
Rub me Rub me
Pretend that you rub me
Leave me Leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you
…or homosexual guys in "All for Rub" by Sting, Byran Adams and Rod Steward:
Don't lay our rub to rest
'Cause we could stand up to you test.
We got everything and more than we had planned,
More than the rivers that run the land.
We've got it all in our hands. [How literal]
Now it's all for one and all for rub. (It's all for rub)
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all. (It's one for all)
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show.
When there's someone that you want,
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one and all for rub.
… or the simply desperate in "Can’t Help Falling in Rubs" by UB40:
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in rubs with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in rubs with you
Classics promote it, like "Unchained Melody":
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me
Oh~ my rub~
My darling~
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your rub~
I need your rub~
Godspeed your rub to me~
Musicals promote it, like "Phantom of the Opera":
Say you'll share with me one rub, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
Raoul & Christine:
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Christine:
Say you rub me...
Raoul:
You know I do...
Raul & Christine:
Rub me - that's all I ask of you...
Anywhere you go let me go too...
Rub me - that's all I ask of you...
And you know rubbing’s all people think about, as shown in "Where is the Rub?" by Black Eyed Peas:
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the rub~
Where is the rub~
Where is the rub~
Where is the rub~ the rub~ the rub~
Here I present to you 3 songs, which I think are ultimate "rubbing songs". I’ve attached embedded songs, so enjoy. In whatever way. Hey, I'm not here to pass judgement!:
"Rubbin' You" by Minnie Riperton
Rubbin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' rubs with you is all I wanna do
Rubbin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of rubbin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do
No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause rubbin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with rubbin' you
Rubbin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh [HIGH!]
I'm more in rubs with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do
"Rub Me Tender" by Elvis Presley
Rub me tender
Rub me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I rub you so
Rub me tender
Rub me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For, my darling... I rub you
And I always will...
Rub me tender
Rub me long
Take me in your heart
For it's there where I belong
And will never part
Rub me tender
Rub me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For, my darling... I rub you
And I always will...
I said...
Rub me tender
Rub me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For, my darling... I rub you
And I always will...
"One Rub" by Blue:
Yeah, alright
It's kinda funny
How life can change
Can flip 180
In a matta of days
Sometimes rub works in
Mysterious ways
One day you wake up
Gone without a trace
I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in
You're my everything
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in
So everybody sing
[Chorus:]
One rub for the mothers pride
One rub for the times we cried
One rub gotta stay alive
I will survive
One rub for the city streets
One rub for the hip hop beats
Oh I do believe
One rub is all we need
Late at night
I'm still wide awake
Feelin this is one
More than I can take
I thought my heart
Could never break (never break)
Now I know that's
One big mistake
I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in
You're my everything
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in
Everybody sing
One rub for the mothers pride
One rub for the times we cried (times we cried)
One rub gotta stay alive
Oh I will survive
One rub for the city streets
One rub for the hip hop beats
One rub oh I do believe (one rub)
One rub in all we need
Baby just rub me, rub me, rub me
Baby just hold me, hold me, hold me
Oh rub me rub me rub me
Oh yeah
One rub
Baby just rub me, rub me, rub me (rub me)
Baby just hold me, hold me, hold me
Oh rub me rub me rub me
One rub for the mothers pride
One rub for the times we cried
One rub gotta stay alive
Oh I will survive
One rub for the city streets
One rub for the hip hop beats (one rub)
One rub oh I do believe (one rub)
One rub in all we need
One rub for the mothers pride
One rub for the times we cried
One rub gotta stay alive
Ooh yeah I will survive
One rub for the city streets (one rub)
One rub for the hip hop beats (one rub)
One rub oh I do believe
One rub in all we need
God, please don't cry, ya? It's seems inevitable. And people, don't be ashamed! Spread the love! The next time you meet a friend or stranger down the street, remember McDonald's slogan, and go:
"Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba~
I'm Rubbing It~!!"

Last Tickle
Posted by Roger A. Tetrahart at 20:48
14 March 2007
(Sing along to Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss")
Oh, where oh where can my Saber be?
Ah-Guu took her away from me!
She took her away, so I got to be good
So I can see Saber before I leave this world...
We were out in the clubs, full of wine and bars
And planning to go very far... :)
There in the room, a shock to the head
Caught Kururu and Guu, doing it in bed
They closed the door, chained my hand in the right
I'll never forget... tortured that night
How Saber shrieked, How Ah-Guu laughed,
The "Ku Ku Ku" that I heard last...
Oh, where oh where can my Saber be?
Kururu took her away from me!
He took her by "KU", so I got to be good,
So I can see Saber before I leave this world...
When I woke up, laughter was all around
They stood above me while I'm tied down
Something warm rolling through my eyes
Just knowing that I will suffer that night
I just shook my head, Guu looked at me instead
"Just bear with it for just a little while"
They tickled me, I struggled, no avail!
Was shocked to find that Saber was there!
She joined the fun, even though I could have died
I lost my love, my life that night.
Oh, where oh where can my Saber be?
She took herself away from me!
She joined the bad guys, so no use to be good
At least I saw Saber before I left this world...
Guu/Saber: Haaaa~ Hahahuhu~
Kururu: Kuuuu~ Ku-ku-ku-ku~
Roger: Nooo~ Nonononoo~
Nooo~ NOOO-no-no-no~

Yay~~ Thx to Siew Koon, I'm able to post once again! More Saber stuff coming, more updates of my out-of-point life, and perhaps more songs, eh? heheh... Layout's wierd, so gonna work on it once I have the time too.
For those who are interested in knowing what happened, is that this delay is caused by a non-loading web script. The authorization box for the switch to new Blogger didn't come up on my com, and I could not access my account till the switch was made. Lucky Siew Koon was there is help me with her mac, so all's cool now.
