³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Wot dos literacy meen?

Education night has to include "Remember the days of the old schoolyard!" by Cat Stevens and maybe even "Multiplication" by Bobby Darrin.

Possible new theme for you could be Miami Vice!
This year sees the 25th Anniversary of the programme which introduced us to Crockett and Tubbs, Jan Hammer and some very dodgy fashions.
Music was supplied by everyone from A-HA to ZZ Top with cameo appearences by a variety of artists including Glenn Frey, Frank Zappa and even Sheena Easton. Plenty to choose from there I would think!

#1

It means not very heavy and fast.

J.O'B.

Oops - Multiplication should perhaps be moved to Wednesday!

#3 LOL

RoxyJohn,

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:"

>8-D

MONDAY

"When I was young and they packed me off to school
and they taught me how not to play the game."

'Wind-up' - Jethro Tull

'Teacher' - Jethro Tull

'To Sir With Love' - Lulu

'Woodwork Woodwork' - Saint Andrew

'The Open University' - Clifford T. Ward

What about comments on report cards as a theme? One that sticks in the memory is;

'Thick as a Brick' - Jethro Tull

>8-D

or,

"This boy's presence in my classroom is depriving his village of its idiot."

#5 Compared to a summer's day?

"Thou art wet and not very bright"?

DC

Monday (A song which sums up many young persons view of their teenage years):

"Another Brick In The Wall part 2" - Pink Floyd

Tuesday (A song inspired by John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath):

"Sorrow" - Pink Floyd

Wednesday (A song with a title which is in fact a mathematical analysis):

"Empty Spaces" - Pink Floyd

Thursday (A song which makes reference to the 1982 Falklands conflict and the futility of war):

"Southampton Dock" - Pink Floyd

DC in Cellardyke

MONDAY:

Bryan Ferry's version of (What A) Wonderful World. He also dueted this with Twiggy on the Twiggy show in 1974



A better version here 3 minutes in:



J.O'B.

#11

Bryan Ferry looks like Rikki Fulton taking the Mickey out of Bryan Ferry on Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Huckleberry Finn would be a cracking song for Tuesday, as yet unreleased by the Edinburgh based prairie rock band Lincoln City.

First previews of the band's new albums The Lincoln City Sessions Vols 1,2 and 3 due out late 2010 are at The Lot, Grassmarket, Edinburgh on Thursday October 22nd 2009 at 8pm and 10pm. Tickets Scotland £5. Some of the 33 tracks are posted at www.anyoldfun.com This top band is led by Rutherglen based star guitarist Davie Dunsmuir (Wolfstone/Alyn Cosker band).

Good themes this week. Will need to have a wee think. Liked the closing four words of your header Bryan. I don't know if you're teasing the Tull fans or taunting them :-)

Good themes indeed.

Mon. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN - Crosby, Stills and Nash

Tues. QUITE UGLY ONE MORNING - Warren Zevon
Back to front. The song came first. Still worth playing.

Wed. NEW MATH - Tom Lehrer - Why don't Yankees say Maths, like normal people?

Thurs. BANG BANG - B.A. Robertson
Nelson, Caeser, Antony and Cleopatra etc. Would also work for Tuesday.

For Wednesday, "Nothing from Nothing" by Billy Preston.

For Thursday, "Galileo" or "Virginia Woolf" by Indigo Girls, or "Marco Polo" by Loreena McKennitt... or "King Tut" by Steve Martin?

CannyMarra: We say "math" because for most of us, one math is more than enough!

Has anyone ever read the book

'Against the Wind' by Markus Baum.

#16

BruceNesmith, My apologies to your good self and all the other Yankees,
particularly those fron the Hawkeye State. My wife implores me not to tell jokes as someone is always offended.
Next time I see Bill Bryson, I'll apologise to him also.

CM

Monday
Bit of a dilemma here. Submit something I want to hear and go hungry or do what I'm telt and get fed.

My better half's a language teacher and insists I've got to ask for
'When I Kissed the teacher' by Abba.

She's no making the dinner until it's played.



Anytime between 6 and 6.15 would be good.

Tuesday
Many autobiographies are named after songs and different authors have even been known to use the same title. The autobiographies of both Percussionist Evelyn Glennie and Ann Summer's Boss Jacqueline Gold are called Good Vibrations. Presumably for different reasons.

Sticking to fiction however

Joe
Linlithgow

#26
Joe, I think you've suggested My Old School before and I think I've seconded it before. I shall do so again. Good shout too for Goodnight Saigon.

Monday. 'ELEVEN PLUS Eleven' - Nine Below Zero

Thursday (Historical Events)- In 2003, Mars passed closer to Earth than it had in nearly 60,000 years and was photographed by the Hubble Telescopic...wonder if they saw anyone (or thing) doing 'the Martian Hop' - The Ran-Dells?

Wonderful World - Sam Cooke
Flowers are Red - Harry Chapin
At Seventeen - Janis Ian

Got to go now and get some things organised so I can be a masochist this afternoon and watch Scotland "play". Will look at the other themes later, but they do look interesting this week.

For monday, how about Van Halen's Hot For Teacher, Foo Foghter's Learn To Fly or Higher ground by Stevie Wonder? or possibly Catholic School Girls Rule by the RHCP.

Enjoy your weekend folks!

#19

Great shout! And if it doesn't get played you won't be assaulted by a woman brandishing a brolly.

>8-D


#20

Fiction? Exodus?!? Shurely shum mishtake!
Are we talking Moses or Leon Uris? We must consult our spiritual advisor, the Rockin' Reverend! If the question is indeed Pentateuchal, a Rockin' Rabbi should be drafted in for his theological perspective.


BRING ME THE RED SEA OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

#23 Care to elaborate?

Mon. ALL I REMEMBER - Christy Moore

"Wild Christian Brothers sharpening their leathers,
Learn it by heart, that's the rule.

Inspired by Woolf's novel "The Waves"


Wed. MATH SUKS - Jimmy Buffet

Please dedicate to my new buddy BruceNesmith. Hands across the water, etc.


Thurs. GREEN ISLAND - Christy Moore

Back to Ireland. Ewan MacColl's sad and beautiful song.

"Well we busted outta class, had to get away from those fools, we learned more from a 3 minute record baby than we ever learned in School". Tsk tsk Boss - great song though.

No Surrender - Bruce Springsteen

One more Try - George Michael, again for the lyric

Learning To Fly - Tom Petty, if you have not seen the Petty documentry - it is brilliant

Lou Reed - Teach The Gifted Children, great track from the horribly underrated Growing Up In Public lp.

I also want to highjack SG's great suggestion of To Sir With Love and nominate:

To Sir With Love : 10,000 Maniacs and Michael Stipe absoluetly fantastic version of this song.

#33
Exodus, the children's novel by Julia Bertagna..........(he said trying to redeem the situation)


Actually , i'd picked the three and then stuck it on as an afterthought. Silly Me.

Oh and she's got a new brolly.......but it just ain't as good as the last one :-)

#34

;-)

My client, Mr. Norrie McLean, assures me that 'No Surrender' does not refer to the Battle of the Boyne.

(If it did he would have requested it for Thursday).

Donald Findlay, Q.C.

#36 Re: To Sir With Love

Norrie,

Yeah, go for it. They played Lulu a few weeks ago, unlikely to do so again so soon.

TUESDAY

'Oor Hamlet' - Adam McNaughton ~ This is hysterical. Scottish humour at its best.

Ask the Professor nicely, he may allow you to borrow Iain Anderson's copy.

#17, #37

I had never heard of the Bruderhof. They sound a bit like the Amish.


The Rockin' Rabbi is happy to absolve you. The Rockin' Reverend might not be so forgiving...


She'll never let you forget that brolly...(neither will we) >8-D

#40
Good shout for School / Supertramp.

Reminds me of a wasted but thoroughly enjoyable 6th year in the school prefect rooms.

#46

I have (ahem!) similar recollections... ;-)

Monday :)

Proper Education- Eric Prydz
And I Was A Boy From School- Hot Chip
What I Go To School For- Busted
Hollaback Girl- Gwen Stefani
School Of Rock- Dean
When you gonna learn- Jamiroquai
Secret Alphabets- Kasabian

#38

Cat got your tongue?

Mon...

Blackboard of my Heart...............Hank Thompson

Tues...

"Christine" (Stephen King).............Siouxsie and the Banshees

Wed...

Concrete and Clay....................Unit 4+2

Thur.....

Monday Education/School

* Billy Bragg - To Have and Have Not
(relevant again in these times - what's the point of having lots of A grade exams if there's no jobs, and the employers think that today's exams mean a thing?)
* Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days of Our Lives
You! Yes You behind the bike sheds! Stand still laddie!
(better idea - play this segueing into Brick in the Wall Part 2 as they're really one piece)
* Tom Paxton - What Did You Learn In School Today?
Did we ever really believe our teachers?
* The Humpff Family - Teach Jeasus
I would sell my children into slavery for the Humpff Family
(Or so a t-shirt I wore in the early 90s said)
* The Sawdoctors - Presentation Boarder
Schooldays romances, eh? Not so easy when one of you is under the very strict control of nuns. But you find ways around.

Tuesday literature:

* Waterboys: The Stolen Child (Yeats)
* Van Morrison: Before the World was Made (Yeats)
* Badly Drawn Boy: Something to Talk About (Hornby)
* The Cure: Killing an Arab (Camus - l'Etranger)
* Generation X: Valley of the Dolls (Jacqueline Susann)
* Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit (Carroll)

#46 & 47 have you two been hanging out in The Bulldog with Mrs Wallace? Still if you are having recollections cannot be too bad.

For Tuesday songs that have literary connections, more fun!

Highway 61 - Bob Dylan (story of Abraham, Genesis 22)
Hey Jack Kerouac - 10,000 Maniacs
Desolation Row - Bob Dylan (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Romeo and Juliert,Ezra Pound, T S Eliot)
Ballad of a Thin Man - Bob Dylan (F Scott Fitzgerald)
Rave on John Donne - Van Morrison
The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash (Book of Revelations)
From the Underworld - The Herd (Orpheus)
Venus in Furs - Velvet Underground (Von Masoch's book of the same name)


and seconding Ghost of Tom Joad and White Rabbit and I will end here before I really start to ramble on....hang on wasn't Sympathy for the Devil based on a book? I will have to do some research now!

Didn't take long Master and Margerita by Bulgakov, though apparently Jagger claimed it was Baudelaire, but I suppose both work for the theme, so I propose that as well.

Don't think we've any chance of The Cure, as (afaik) Killing An Arab's still on the "tracks the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ won't play for fear of touchy people who don't actually listen to anything beyond the title" list.

Or is it? Prove me wrong, Bryan.

#23 *sigh*

Dearie me! Must be the influence of this week's themes.....

Gotta start 'Making Your Mind Up', if you want a 'Piece of the Action' y'all better play by the 'Rules of the Game', coz 'If You Can't Stand the Heat' you'll be banished to 'The Land of Make Believe'

>8-D

#23 ???????



They also had a track called "If you can't stand the heat"...

DC

#58

do tell.....

#23 Moderator's must be easily piqued. Your comment was on for days.

Hands up bloggers - who's having a hissy fit??

#52

Re The Stolen Child
I suggested a theme a couple of weeks back for songs with dialogue over the intro but perhaps a better one (if it's not been done already) would be songs that contain the spoken word anywhere in them.


Red Sovine and JJ Barrie need not apply.

Excellent for the Next week's themes....

=Dennis Junior=

#61

Walk Away Renee - Billy Bragg! (actually, loads of Billy tracks)
but also quite a few by The Streets, who I've always thought to be very Bragg-like.

Oh, and there was the theme I suggested *months* back (and has been mentioned as a possibility a few times): singers who use their own accents, not the mid-Atlantic thing (Def Leppard, I'm looking at *you*).

Monday Learning

KOOL SKOOL - Nils Lofgren, it doesn't look like Nils learned to spell at school but maybe it's just about being cool.

The only one who could ever TEACH me was the SON OF A PREACHER MAN - Dusty Springfield.

#59

It would appear that the group we were speaking about is much more offensive that we first thought.Especially if you give it a Scottish slant by slightly changing the first part to a northern fishing port.

Perhaps the person who referred the comment doesn't like fish

:-)

DC

Could it be that an occassional contributor to these pages, someone with power who yet has already confessed to loving some pretty dodgy 70's and 80's acts and who has never really let go of her adortaion forher pin-ups has recalled that Bucks Fizz were resposnible for knocking the mighty Shakin Stevens off Number 1.....

#65 Or changing it to an abbreviation of a Devon monastery.

#22

Surely Pocket Calculator is a better fit for Wednesday?

#67 perhaps the referrer isn't religious?

What do you make of this Watson?

D(ete)C(tive) Holmes

I'm fizzing, Holmes. Buck thizz!

#65, #67

Perhaps the person who referred the comment doesn't like monkfish...

>8-D

#35
Great shout! Ages since we have heard any Christy Moore on the show.

#51
And of course I need to back-up CaptRamius on his Billy Bragg shout.

#71

Hahahahaha!!!! Brilliant!

#51

I second the Captain's suggestion that "Happiest Days of our Lives" precedes "Another Brick in the Wall". The first is really the intro to the other (and one of the best intros you'll ever hear)

DC

DC - ooh I see there on facebook there is a groundswell of opinion against the playing of Floyd tonight!

#61 Paolo

would be a good one if its not been done...has this one been done?.....people who have been in 2 successful bands? e.g. Steve Winwood... Spencer Davis Group / Traffic John Lydon ... Sex Pistols / P.I.L maybe the Captain can tell us.


F I D

#61, #75 good theme suggestions....

Street Hassle with the Bruce monolouge

Also there are people like Annie Lennox / Dave Stewart, David Grohl, Shirley Manson, Gary Clark, Nils Lofgren,,.

#72

We can extend the Christy Moore coverage on Tuesday, via Song Of The Wandering Aengus which is another .

And to further the conspiracy theories of sockpuppeting: I spent my teenage years in Shropshire; my Mum & Dad (from Glasgow) still live there. I've never been called Mike though.

#74, so that's the death knell for the tune no doubt....

DC

TUESDAY:

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Fad Gadget

The Man In The Iron Mask - Billy Bragg

Monday

Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime - The Korgis
It Started With A Kiss - Hot Chocolate
You Learn - Alanis Morissette

Not necessarily

Mmmm getting a bit peckish.

# just tuned in in time to hear my name. I'll have to listen again!

DOH!!!

Cheers Bryan

DC

Ya beauty that sizzler's starting to warm up quite nicely. Cheers guys

Only managed to think of a few things so far.
Wednesday Radiohead 2+2=5
Thursday Prefab Sprout The King of Rock and Roll.
I'll need to have a think for some cheese!

For Tuesday:

Romeo and Juliet - The Indigo Girls (Shakespeare)
Crazy Jane On God - Van Morrison (lyrics by Yeats)
Bhudda of Suburbia - David Bowie (book by Hanif Kureishi)
Edgar allan Poe - Lou Reed
Springsteen - Ghost of Tom Joad, as suggested by others

and

10,000 Maniacs - Hey Jack Kerouac

Good show tonight. Bloggers got an excellent representation, so well done production team

DC

#89

and Paolo has been fed. I fear a precedent has been set. Miss Babs abuses her power, but sometimes it's to our benefit. Julie has been getting her own way for so long only Adam picks up on it. The dam has burst.

Gentlemen, we have become dispensable. The quines are asserting their authority.

TUESDAY:

'Lovely to Me' by LUCKY JIM...as well as being a novel by Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim was a nom de plume of Gordon Grahame of The Lost Soul Band. It'll be familiar from a certain TV advert for bread (You're lovely to me yes you are).

'LOCAL GIRLS' - Graham Parker and the Rumour. Also the name of a novel by Alice Hoffman.

'Twist In My Sobriety' by Tanita Tikaram starts with the line 'ALL GOD'S CHILDREN NEED TRAVELLIN' SHOES'...the title of a Maya Angelou book.

'ON THE ROAD Again' - Nine Below Zero...to paraphrase Jack Kerouac.

TUESDAY

Team GIO:

Martin Amis is one of my favorite authors and Money is one of my favorite Martin Amis novels. So...

Money (That's What I Want) by several artists including Barrett Strong.
Mouldy Old Dough - Lieutenant Pigeon.
Money Can't Buy Me Love ~ The Beatles.
Money - Pink Floyd.
If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time ~ Willie Nelson
Take the Money and Run ~ Steve Miller Band

I'm also a big J.P. Donleavy Fan. My favorite is The Destinies of Darcy Dancer, Gentleman. So Dancing Queen by Abba.

Kingsley Amis, Martin's father (I'm certain you know that) wrote a book about drinking, titled On Drink. So the obvious choice is Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Please. If there's a more literary song than that, I'd like to know about it.

Graham Greene wrote The Quiet American so perhaps anything by Warren Zevon, Frank Zappa, Madonna, Elvis, Ted Nugent, et. al.

Ernest Hemmingway wrote A Farewell to Arms so anything by Def Leppard.

#92. (Last one) LOL!

#92

as a fellow drummer i should not have laughed at that...









but i did....lol !!! :O)

TUESDAY LITERATURE

As I can't think of an obvious song title that comes from a book, I'm gonnae go for a tenuous connection:-

The Spy Who Loved Me - The Ian Fleming novel gave rise to the Bond movie of the same name, which in turn had the theme tune:-

Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon

Though the book title doesn't match the song title, it is to be found in the lyrics.

Tuesday: Literature and great authors

A superb Mary Gauthier track ' Last of the Hobo Kings' references Steinbecks 'Grapes of Wrath':

The last free men are hoboes
Steinbeck said, and he paid cash
And the stories that he bought from them
Helped write the Grapes of Wrath.

Tuesday's literature programme...

'Horrorshow' by Edinburgh band The Scars. This single dates from either 1978 or 1979. I've never heard this on the radio and it would be great.
Still got the seven inch single at home but alas no record player.

The song details the Anthony Burgess novel 'A Clockwork Orange'. Hence the title 'Horrorshow'.

Cheers.

LLIM

Ok, ok, forget my previous suggestions - you just have to play this tribute to Tolkein's creation:

Leonard Nimoy -

(at last - a decent audio for this; is hilariously of its time, but it's recorded off the TV, so the sound is rubbish)

Based on the (probably irrational) grounds that Roxy John might not have access to a computer before the show begins;

TUESDAY

'Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 18' - Bryan Ferry


David Gilmour does a version of this.









Ferry's is better.
