She's got a nerve...

Confusion about tonight's theme it seems, which has not been helped by the fact that I mistakenly announced Wednesday's theme as being Tuesday's theme and vice versa. Anyway, for tonight's theme of "I didn't know that was a cover version" theme, I'd be happy to play the original version or the one that you thought was the original. Just let me know which one you'd prefer.

This will probably lead to some heated debate in the studio though. For instance, Frank In Denny has suggested Hangin' On The Telephone originally done by The Nerves but of course Blondie made it their own. I want to play The Nerves but her ladyship thinks Blondie. I think The Nerves would be a surprise but she thinks that it was technically Blondie that was the surprise cover version. I have a feeling it's going to be a long evening....

Just look at the track-listing for the past two days... stayed, obvious, lacking originality and spontaneity.
GIO the easy listening show for the mid-life crisis 50 something’s that ignores original thought!

I've said the same myself but you have to concede that you won't hear The Nerves every day.

get on get on your nerves.
They started singing it and after about three verses I chuckled to myself thinking ha ha I ain't gonna fall for that one.
After verse ten (which is the same verse ten times) I chuckled again thinking they'll soon get bored.
After verse 248 I screamed ''Right that's it'' stopped in a layby through them all out the car and went and handed myself in.
Hopefully i'll have grandchildren one day. I will teach them that song.

Paolo,
A friend gave his 10 year-old granddaughter a trumpet for Xmas. To mark the 11th anniversary of her birth he presented her with a drum kit.
He said it was his revenge.......
