Pacha Daddy Group: Members Posts: 85 Joined: Sep. 2000 Posted: July 10 2001, 13:32 I was surfing around ebay and naturally put "Oldfield" in as a search. One of the items that came up was an old French magazine entitled "Histoire du Rock 1975." On the cover it reads: "Mike Oldfield: Genie au ding-dong." Uh...what exactly does that say? Here's the link, by the way (I hope it works): http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1444909730 Back to top

For example there's a kid song (I think it's the equivalent of Brother John... we call him Jack (well, Jacques in fact...)) where you sing 'Ding Ding Dong' as when a monk ring the church bell. And when in a comic book, when some one ring at the door, "ding dong" is written. Wow, this is a post for Tim Conspiracy (isn't it) ?
