Klinik, (sometimes called The Klinik), is an industrial music band from Belgium, originally formed around 1982 by electro-synthpop practitioner Marc Verhaeghen, who is the only constant member.
Marc Verhaeghen originally formed Klinik in the early-to-mid 1980s; the exact date varies depending on the source. The group is normally described as one of the most influential Belgian industrial bands in history.
In 1985, Verhaeghen joined forces with two other bands, Absolute Body Control (with Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem), and "The Maniacs" (Sandy Nys) to form one "super group" "Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs". This rather unwieldy name was soon dropped in favour of the shorter name "The Klinik". Nys soon left the band to form "Hybryds", followed in 1987 by van Wonterghem, leaving The Klinik as the "classic" duo of Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaeghen.
The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh EBM sound and their live shows, where both Ivens and Verhaeghen performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens' hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghen's synthesizer skills and distorted trombone playing. This however, did not last forever; after Time, an album neither member was fully pleased with, musical differences became too great, and they decided to go their separate ways. In a 2013 interview, Ivens said the due were moving in different directions musically, and that compromise between only two members was challenging.
Touch Football was developed from rugby league, with the tackling of opposing players replaced by a touch. Touch is therefore not a contact sport but a limited-contact sport. The basic rules of Touch were established in the 1960s by the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club.
Distinctive features of Touch include the ease of learning it, minimal equipment requirements and the ability to play it without fear of major injury. While it is generally played with two teams of six on-field players, some social competitions allow different number of players per team on the field. It is played by both sexes, and in age divisions from primary school children to over-50s. The mixed version of the game (where both male and female players are on the field at the same time) is particularly popular with social players, and it is widely played in schools.
Touch started in Australia in 1963 as a social or "park" game and as a training technique for rugby league. It was not then viewed as a sport in its own right. It was formalised into a sport proper by the "Founders of Touch", Bob Dyke and Ray Vawdon of the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club. On 13 July 1968 the "South Sydney Touch Football Club" was formed and the sport of Touch Football was born. The first actual official game of Touch was played in late 1968 and the first official competition, organised by Dyke & Vawdon, was held at Rowland Park Sydney in 1968. From these humble beginnings the game quickly became a fully regulated and codified sport. It was first played in Brisbane in 1972 and by 1973 there were representative games. It had spread to New Zealand by 1975.
"Touch" is a song from American R&B singer Omarion. It was released on October 1, 2004 as the second single off his debut album O. The song was written by Pharrell Williams and includes his background vocals on the song's bridge. The song was produced by The Neptunes. "Touch" was originally planned to be the first single from O in the UK. However, it was eventually decided that, as in the U.S., "O" would be the first single from O there as well. It was a minor hit in the U.S., peaking at only number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 35 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
"Touch" debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of June 25, 2005. It moved to number 98 the week after before leaving the chart. It re-entered the chart and peaked at number 94 the week of July 30, 2005.
The music video of "Touch" was directed by Diane Martel and choreographed by Shane Sparks and Blake Anthony; with Rasheed Musbah as co-choreographing consultant. At the beginning of the video, Omarion sees a sexy girl (Danielle Polanco) outside a club. Omarion showcases some elaborate choreography. They dance their way down the street until the girl's friends drive by and Omarion ducks into a store. When they leave, he comes out and they continue their dance to her apartment. The video ends with her putting a stopper in the door, inviting him in.
Ich werd für dich niemals Geld von meinem Konto abheben
Ich werd dir niemals meinen Autoschlüssel geben
Ich werd für dich nicht meinen Küchenboden putzen
Und du wirst niemals meine Zahnbürste benutzen
Ich werd dich niemals schick zum Essen einladen
Und du wirst nicht in meiner Badewanne baden
Ich mach dir nie auf meinem Lieblingssessel Platz
Und wenn dir das nicht passt, dann mach ich Rabatz
Aber sonst werd ich immer für dich sorgen
Wir gehn spazieren mittags, abends und am Morgen
Doch wenn du sonst von mir mehr Initiative vermisst
Dann vergiss nicht, dass du bloß
Ein Cockerspaniel bist
Ich back dir auch zum Geburtstag sicher keinen Hundekuchen
Wir werden nie 'ne Katzenausstellung besuchen
Ich werd den Briefträger nicht am Gartenzaun anketten
Ich werd mit dir nicht um 'ne Dose Chappi wetten
Du kriegst zum Schlafen von mir keinesfalls ein Kissen
Ich werd mit dir nicht an Laternenpfähle (ups!)
Ich wälz mich mit dir ganz bestimmt nicht im Dreck
Versuch nicht, mich zu ändern, das hat eh keinen Zweck
Aber sonst werd ich immer für dich sorgen
...
Auf dem Wohnzimmerteppich mach ich keinen Hundehaufen
Doch ich will nicht deinen blöden Stöckchen nachlaufen
Ich lass mich schlimmstenfalls von dir gegen Tollwut impfen
Doch wenn ich dreckig bin, darfst du nicht mit mir schimpfen
Ich darf nicht betteln, das will ich gern probieren
Doch bitte fang nicht an, mich völlig zu dressieren
Wenn ich mal schnappe, sag dir einfach "Was soll's"
Denn schließlich hab ich auch meinen Cockerspanielstolz
Aber sonst werd ich dich immer bewachen
Auch wenn die Diebe über mich nur müde lachen
Doch wenn du sonst von mir mehr Innigkeit und Liebe vermisst
Dann vergiss nicht, dass du bloß
Mein Arbeitgeber bist
