³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

In Your Mind - Bryan Ferry - "Hark, the frozen chimes of winter," intones the old lounge lizard over a peal of bells, Chris Spedding picks up his Flying V and we're off.

Ring Out Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull

Sorry Scotch Git, I just couldn't resist it.

AC/DC - Hells Bells, what better way to start the show than the mighty AC/DC bell tolling...

Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells

Feist and Grizzly Bear - Service Bell

3 quite different tunes, all great.

Bee Gees , a bit of a guilty pleasure and this is a cracker:

Bee Gees - For Whom The Bell Tolls

#2

Steve,

Sorry, shmorry! A perfect song for this theme, which I am happy to second.


FRIDAY

'One Less Bell to Answer' - The 5th Dimension


(If Bryan plays this we won't have to listen to 'Wedding Bell Blues' again).

>8-D

The Foggy Dew: Sinead O'Conner (But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out through the foggy dew)

Les Trois Cloches' - Edith Piaf with the wonderful backing of Les Compagnons de la Chanson. Better than any of the versions translated into English (The Three Bells). Listen and you'll instantly recognise it.

Gonna Knock on Your Door - Eddie Hodges

Gonna knock on your door
gonna ring on your bell


he Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez - still my preferred version

the night they drove old Dixie down
and all the bells were ringing


Quasimodo - Lifehouse

The

Could you elaborate?

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

One Nation Under A Groove - Funkadelic (a lot of cowbells)

Let Em In - Paul McCartney (doorbell)

Was there a school bell in Schools Out? Were there doom laden bells in Slik's Forever and Ever, (Midge's finest hour)?

Oh, and a Shakin Stevens Shoo-In - "Merry Christmas Everyone". Surely to goodness!

Because - The Night.

Pilgrim's Progress - Procol Harum

magnificent song, I'm sure Mike Oldfield was inspired by the use of a tubular bell on the end of this. As Glen noted on a previous thread, was once Bob Harris's theme tune, and is the closing track on the 4th episode of the henri hannah radio show

and some others

Dixie Belle - James Carr

Wedding Bell Blues - Laura Nyro Booji Boy moment here, but worth hearing, Scotch?

To Hell & Back Again - Isobell Campbell & Mark Lanagan.

Bell Bottom Blues - Derek & the Dominoes



regardez youse

henri

ps thanks for the kind comments about my Lesley Duncan shout. I'd forgotten how good that track is and spent some time last night listening to other Lesley Duncan tracks. Really good, much overlooked. She did some great work as Dusty's backing singer and on the backing voclas on Dark Side Of The Moon etc..

just correcting myself for missing t, Glen.

Oh My Love - The Bells ~ A cover of the John Lennon song.


Henri - Isn't there a connection between Laura Nyro and The Bells?

Seems to ring a bell.

;o)

hi heat, best gun

Surprised FRED hasn't suggested GOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG......

be caught in these



Plink Plank Plunk - from 0.51

What was the story again about the time Man City wanted to name a stand after former frontman Colin Bell??

Scotch, your our font for all things football.

Don't fall for it SG!!

There has to be some Belle & Sebastion - The Blues Are Still Blue would be my choice.
Or
The Pearlfishers - Ring The Bells For A Day
Erin McKeown - Bells & Bombs

Friday


The Chimes-Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
Kate Rusby-Sweet Bells

#5,#13#18#,Tell Laura I Love Her!The 5th Dimension's cover of Laura Nyro's "Wedding Bell Blues"is cool.Love it when Marylin McCoo starts it with BIIILLL!Never heard it on GIO though, only Laura's (whenever Ive requested it!)Booji boy?dunno.5th Dimension had loads of hits with Laura Nyro songs and Jim Webb songs too.Their version of Bacharach/David's "One Less Bell to Answer"shows what a good singer Marylin McCoo was too.They were considered a bit m.o.r in their day but I thought they were great.Senga,you are probably thinking of "The Bells"Laura's brilliant collabaration with LaBELLe!Cue for my request!Cheers ,Willie Bartke

'Giddy Up A Ding Dong' - SAHB (but only if you can't find my earlier Edith Piaf suggestion!

#7/ 28 - That's a lovely Edith Piaf song, Julie. Second it!

#25

Which reminds me that Isobel Campbell used to be in Belle & Sabastian, so that makes my earlier request even more compelling, a double whammy, so to speak?

couple of songs with cowbells in:

Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones

Rock of Ages - Def Leppard - always good for livening up a Friday night!

and

Wild Mountain Thyme - The Silencers - starts with a bell, or maybe it's a Gong

yep, a gong is a kind of bell.

Kites - Simon Dupree & The Big Sound

this would be good to hear.

regardez youse

henri

The Trolley Song - Judy Garland

Just tuned in. Have I missed anything?

#23, #24

No' got a Scooby, but t'would be foolish to ignore Norrie's advice.


Adam,

What does Feliz Navidad mean?

From The Underworld - The Herd

#see query on #23

#37
Ahh you have.

Here we say "Feliz Natal".

#35

Here is the Mexican Elvis, El Vez, having a go at "Feliz Navidad"

For those confused, and also to get my last moderated post in of the year.

Manchester City invited suggestions and a voting system for the stand of the new stadium. The Manchester United fans mobilised and suggested Colin Bell and voted en masse.

There is now a Colin Bell Stand at Eastlands. Affectionately known as "The xxx End".

Thanks for reminding us AFR.

I had to put in xxx to pass the profanity filter...

#39

Mucho gracias.

THANKYOUVERYMUCH, AMIGO!

>8-D

#39

I think that's the most inspiring thing I've seen in years.

Now I know I can do anything.

#40

Mucho gracias.

THANKYOUVERYMUCH, AMIGO!

>8-D

#34 good to see you've achieved your quota for the festive season Scotch ;-D

and didn't it sound great :-)

Much as I love Queen, I think Bicycle Race was a mistake for this. It is overplayed.

#46

I listened to El Vez again while it was on.

>8-D

#2, #34, #45

Yeah, it was good to hear!

Guid yin, Steve!

:-)

Alison? Again?!?















be still, my foolish heart...

#49, i'm not saying i'm wishing away the weekend, but Alison's sweet tones will definitely ease the pain of Monday

#40, #41

It didnae' work...

>8-D

epic fail.....

#49 #50 youse guys are pathetic. Roll on Tuesday.

?!?

Ooooooh! Does Uncle Vic push your buttons?


We should be telt!

>8-D

#13

Henri,

It's a nice enough song, I guess. I just feel it was of it's time. Or maybe I've heard it too often.

My lips are sealed.


For now.

Gaie, much tho I like Alison's voice, I have to admit that Vic is a supersub in the mould of David Fairclough or Ole Solskjaer!

#55

Re: Apostrophe's

The 1st & 3rd are O.K. Ignore the 2nd

>8-D

interesting, I noticed I'd gotten the apostrophe on Pilgrims' Progress wrong as well.

everybody seems to do "it's" - at least I can't help myself.

#13, #59

Henri,

You sure? I thought you'd gotten it right the first time.

David Fairclough? Ole Solskjaer? gotten? latin inspired songs?


think I'll just go and do my gaelic homework. It's got to be less perplexing.

Well, as sure as I can be - I checked the track listing and its Pilgrims'.

Of course, the track listing might be wrong?

Is that you getting Alison back on Monday?

Well, at least it's not the interior decorators.

Didnae hear the show tonight. What's wi the Alison? Or is it a matter of a listen again?


(Geddit?)




DC

# 47 listened again? I was almost imagining you hinting at Freddie doing that turn himself, then realised there was a very distracting girlie to the left instead..... Still way more entertaining than Bicycle Race for the umpteenth time. I used to like that song.

where are all the missing blog people? frank, madmac, capn....

- Devo - who knows?

#65

Suspect its probably weather related? The outbreak of weather in the first couple of weeks in December has screwed things up good and proper for lots of folks because now we're all playing catch up during the 2nd half of a month which is already mayhem.

Or, at least, it is for me: I traditionally wrestle with December but I already know I've lost the battle and it's only the eleventh.

And another thing: Smiffy tells me that Milngavie, Hillfoot and Bearsden Railway Stations have now had their designations translated into Gaelic.

What is all that about?

regardez youse

henri

"We swelter," bitched REM.

Jim Frae Erskine was our Gaelic man...

##67 Yes, I can see that would add to your stress levels.

And the capn, poor lamb, was also stressed having to child-mind and work at the same time.

Never mind, you'll all feel better when Alison takes the helm on Monday.

Don't Worry Baby - Los Lobos

Willie - a flip remark of mine, not intended to be as cheeky as I realise it sounds. No offence at all intended to someone who's clearly an asset!

None taken at all Gaie.Tis the season of good will(ie)!:O)
