Never been dumped...

Carry on

This is gonna be one of the hardest caption competitions

Currently dumped, should be used to it by now but.......

THURSDAY


Alleluia! Alison, another adorable Aberdonian!


Check oot the tunes, quine. Pure quality, by the way...


'God Will' - Lyle Lovett

'I Can't Help You Now' - Bonnie Raitt

'God may Forgive You (But I Won't) -


Welcome back, hen!

:-)

There's one where the artist does the dumping very ungraciously, then tries to worm his way back in, only to find that the dumpee isn't that fussed, has gotten her own back and (along with the rest of the town) lets the artist know he's no longer wanted.
Just for a bit of variety - someone who's had the tables reversed on them:
Pulp Don't You Want Me Anymore?
Probably not right for the bill tonight, but worth a listen just to decide anyway! ;o)

THURSDAY

'I'm Gonna Be Strong' -

Cyndi has one Scottish date on her forthcoming tour. GRCH on Thursday, June 23rd.

Why can't I get italics on HTML? This new blog is a giant step backwards.

Ahmurny talkin' aboot ra bint either >8-O

Sarah's been dumped then?

Well, it'll give her something to sing about.

Have you told Alison you are no longer firing blanks. I think she should be telt.

regardez youse

henri

p.s. really struggling with this theme: it's obviously designed for wimmin folk..blokes never feel defiant on being dumped. some feel crushed, some feel relieved most are gutless but few defiant. I was thinking of Uptown Uptempo Wumman/Randy Edelman or Castles In The Air/Don McLean or 50 Ways To Leave Yer Lover/Paul Simon but they are not so much about defiance as true gutlessness.

What am I missing here? What's the male 'I Will Survive' - have I just forgotten?
Delilah?

regardez youse

henri

.....dunno what's gonna more difficult, dealing with the rejection or coming up with an appropriate track for this theme.......

Paul - Mr Zimmerman is your man...

Bob Dylan - She's Your Lover Now

Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind

Don't Come Back Knockin' - Buddy Holly

But in true GIO Blog tradition neither of these songs is what I would like to hear. I'd like to hear a song by the missing word from the daft bingo you were playing which is of course Boss.

Wonder who the Boss had in mind when he wrote this:

Bruce Springsteen - You'll Be Comin' Down

and I cannot help but wonder if a bit of bouncing back was required in:

Dave Edmunds - I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock n Roll)

Henri,

The song you're looking for is


Also, it behoves us to remember that Alison is a married woman. And even if she weren't, I'd have to get her down off that pedestal first!

:-)

Sorry ~ Madge

Asked for many times but to no avail. If this song ever deserved a play it's Thursday night. Typical that I work Thursdays.......


Car 67 - Driver 67


OK Alison, get practising...

We've got time for one more before the news Miss Babs. DC on the blog has come up with yet another graaayyyttt choon. Car 67. That would be goooooood. Let's get it on

(Awww staaawwwppp it!!!! Hahahaha!!!)



DC

A northern soul classic

Goodbye (nothing to say) / Nosmo King & The Javells

Missing... Song for the Dumped ~ Ben Folds Five mibbes?

Woman suspects boyfriend of cheating on her...goes to bar and catches him with the other woman...grabs the nearest good-looking bloke and dances with him to make boyfriend jealous...boyfriend attacks poor innocent good-looking guy but ends up losing the fight...manages to lift his face up off the floor just in time to see girlfriend flounce out of the door without a backwards glance, into her car and off down the road to a new life...woo hoo, wey hey, hurrah, that's him telt, you go girl etc etc!

'Trouble Is A Woman' - Julie Reeves

.....sounds like a great yarn Julie, should be worth hearing.......i'm thinking nothing is as cathartic as writing a song about your loss, so that everyone knows where the finger is being pointed......

You Can Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

...it certainly worked for Lindsey Buckingham as Stevie Nicks was still feeling sore about the "shacking up" lyric when she talked about it in the recent documentary.

Paul from Ayr

Dance the night away - the Mavericks
Already gone - Eagles
A soft place to fall or Set you free- Allison Moorer
That kind of fool - Cado Belle
Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac
I'm alright or The way it never was - Kim Richey
You're no good - Linda Ronstadt
Your heart is as black as night - Melody Gardot



Joe
Linlithgow

"Take that!" selection:


'Glad to see you go' ~ The Ramones

'So Long' ~ Abba

'I hate everything about you' ~ Three Days Grace

'I don't want you back' ~ Eamon

Ferry's strongest lyrics about Jerry Hall leaving him for Mick Jagger are on Roxy Music's 'Cry Cry Cry' It's their worst song by a mile.

#10 Norrie, i can usually rely on Bob but in this case i couldn't come up with anything I liked, good thinking on your choices though!

Green Day - 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles

The Who - 'I Can See For Miles'

I'll view virus...

Adam,

I think she'd like to sneak him in through the bedroom windae.

All that's required now is Julie's support to make it a shoo-in. I'll even plead with Alison not to play J.J.

#71 All of the questions in the census are pigeon-holey - that one would really open up a can of worms for the folk of 2111 to digest. Not easy to fit us all into neat categories if there was a bit more room for elaboration..... on an unanswerable question.
A stormer, sir!
