Hash House Harriers
The Hash House Harriers (abbreviated to HHH or H3, or referred to simply as hashing) is simply an international group of non-competitive running social clubs. An event organized by a club is known as a hash or hash run, with participants calling themselves hashers or hares and hounds.
History
Hashing originated in December 1938 in Selayang Quarry, Selangor, then in the Federated Malay States (now Malaysia), when a group of British colonial officers and expatriates began meeting on Monday evenings to run, in a fashion patterned after the traditional British paper chase or "hare and hounds", to rid themselves of the excesses of the previous weekend. The original members included Albert Stephen (A.S.) Ignatius "G" Gispert, Cecil Lee, Frederick "Horse" Thomson, Ronald "Torch" Bennett and John Woodrow. A. S. Gispert suggested the name "Hash House Harriers" after the Selangor Club Annex, where several of the original hashers happened to live and dined, known as the "Hash House".
Down Down
"Down Down" is a popular song by the English rock band, Status Quo.
Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young and produced by Status Quo, "Down Down" was Status Quo's only number one single in the UK Singles Chart to date. "Down Down" spent a week at the top of the chart in January 1975. The single was first released on 29 November 1974 on the Vertigo label, paired with the B-side song "Nightride". Both songs came from the album On The Level which had yet to be released. The album version lasts 5 minutes and 24 seconds and the single version 3 minutes and 49 seconds.
Originally it was entitled "Get Down", but this was changed before release, possibly to avoid confusion with the Gilbert O'Sullivan song of the same name.
Towards the end of his life, DJ John Peel was known for playing "Down Down" as part of his eclectic DJ sets.
In 1986 co-writer Bob Young released a country music style version of "Down Down" on his solo album In Quo Country.
In July 2012, Status Quo reworked the lyrics to create a 3-minute promotional song for the Australian supermarket chain Coles. The chorus chants, "down, down, prices are down". This was released on television and YouTube, the most famous of which depicts a mince rally.
2nd Debut
2nd Debut, the proposed second album by The Sinceros, produced by Paul Riley was test pressed but then recalled, shelved and was essentially reworked into, Pet Rock under the guidance of producer Gus Dudgeon.

Down Down Down
by: Calvin RussellWell I know it's been a hard road for so long now
And it's taken you for a ride down down down
But you must laugh even though it seems that you should cry
Each morning brings us a different day
And it's counting our lives down down down
But you must try until at last you'll know why A grain of sand, one single leaf
A candle by itself burning
I'm just a man, only a man
And the rules of life I'm still learning
Turn me round, turn me round
Well people for years I gathered the tears
I looked for the frowns on your faces
Now I walk down the street
And the people that I meet
One by one I've met thousands
And that's why I feel
That to give is the fruit
