You can only play it if you can say it

Cleo Laine My Little Boat a song for DC and all the yachting crew about to set their sails again.......
try following her .....or just about anything else she's ever sung, on your own little boat. Even if she didn't write them - it's about the execution and interpretation, eh, no? Ah dinnae ken. She's no' half bad at the tongue twisters, but.

Barabajagal - Donovan

Ring-a-Round-a-Rosy Rag - Arlo Guthrie

Diggy Liggy Lo - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Just in. I heard most of tonight's show when I was traveling across the city to meet a choir who are participating in making a jingle for me. What a hoot.If I had more time I could be tempted to be in a choir though I don't care for all that deo this and deo that stuff.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that tonight's show was an absolute joy and one of my favourite shows in the time I've been listening. Well done and thanks for playing The Phantom Band - I wasn't really expecting that, bit of a bonus.

When we were kids I had a pal who couldn't say 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' but instead always said 'In The Court Of The Kingson Crim'.

It stuck, and now most of the guys I grew up with refer to 'The Court Of The Kingson Crim'.

In The Court Of The Kingson Crim - King Crimson

If this by any chance gets played (it won't) it would mark a remarkable week for me. You could play the first three minutes, of course, which would give everyone a feel for it..it's really quite radio friendly.

regardez - youse

henri

Glen has set a record! A comment so bad they had to set up a new thread.....

Henri I agree! it is a pity Ms Head of 80's Music on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ always has to run off to sort out the weans dinners as I plan to download this show as a CD from available retailers once she gets round to posting the track listing.

My first Shazam track discovery is Shola Ama - You Should Really KNow.

There is a theme - the track you were dying to find out who it was by, or just had to Shazam!!

Dunno about about Tongue twistin but bryans got us blog twistin here. Next next next next ......,

Savage Garden - 'I Want You'

What is he singing?

BRING ME THE TWIN BLOG THREAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA

(4-Aminobiphenyl, hexachlorobenzene
Dimethyl sulfate, chloromethyl methylether
2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-
Para-dioxin, carbon disulfide)

(Dibromochloropane, chlorinated
Benzenes, 2-Nitropropane, pentachlorophenol,
Benzotrichloride, strontium chromate
1, 2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane)

Run Straight Down - Warren Zevon - No, not the ingredients of an Innocent smoothie, but a song of some topicality as radiation rains down on Glasgow - with a nice solo from David Gilmour

More lyrics:

Burning For You - Blue Öyster Cult - For Robert Bunsen's 200th anniversary

One Week - Barenaked Ladies

Thought for the day:

'I don't care for all that deo this and deo that stuff' - slightly offensive, or is it just me?

OK, it's probably just me - no intention of starting a theological debate, I just had to say it

There's a great line in The Pogues, 'Sally Maclennane', that you have to sing so fast, you just can't get your tougue round it...

"Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
When he'd had too many Powers"

#22 Henri is just quoting what's in the songs these choirs sing. I too don't care for such type of songs.

I'm not sure how such a view can be offensive?

You can trip over your own tongue trying to sing along with

'Diner' - Martin Sexton

Apt for teatime too and a very cheery song...dance round the dining table!

#24 OK, as I said, it's just me. I know it wasn't intended to offend and this isn't the place for the discussion.

Apologies.

Deo Do Do Do, Deo Da Da Da

a lot of do-do indeed

'the elements' (periodic table).........tom lehrer...........

after a week of serious rock and yoof a piece of Gilbert and Sullivan would go down nicely, thank you.


cheers frae the dale

Police, that is.

We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

As Frank would say, deo-be, deo-be, dooooo

I think this has

Sparks - 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us'

Bob Dylan - Subterranean ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sick Blues and also i did find it hard singing along to L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N but almost got it cracked, the chorus bit I mean.

But the latter orobably best kept for Friday.

#34 It was fun hearing BB trying to say L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. last week ☺

#35 Surely one of the klaxon songs.

I defy anyone to sing along to the chorus of this.

Welcome To The Cabaret - Christy Moore

;o)

I thought last night's show was the best since Tuesday night's probably because, once again, the theme excluded the usual dross.

How am I doing Glen?

Dig teen out?

#39

That's it - one step at a time. Eventually you won't need to bite your tongue.

Talking of tongues, here is the tongue twister they don't want you to hear:

Heut' kommt der Hans zu mir, freut sich die Lies.
Ob er aber über Oberammergau, oder aber über Unterammergau,
Oder aber überhaupt nicht kommt ist nicht gewiß!

Of course, there's always

Apache Dropout - Edgar Broughton Band great singalong number, easy to follow.

regardez youse

henri

#42 my mother went to see the play in Oberammergau.

I was there myself once. Unfortunately it was in one of the nine out of ten years when it wasn't on. They use the theatre for showing Carry On films the rest of the time.

I thought you were going to say it was 1940 you were there, the only time it was cancelled.

#12
Henri, a similar story - we had a guy at our school who would always get himself in a guddle with "The Cat Crept In". He is still nicknamed Bunged Up to this day!

The Cat Crept In - Mud


Here DC, is there no a Pink Floyd song about being tongue-tied? Could be a show opener.

#22/24/26

No need to apologise, Gaie, the comment was about the inevitable use of latin and not the content or meaning, since I don't know what it means. My partner Smiffy used to sing in the Glasgow Cathedral Choir and the endless rehearsal of this stuff did drive one round the twist a bit.

That's not to say I don't like the music, on Classical night I surprised myself by harping on about Karl Jenkins until I got it played.I'm not religious myself, but appreciate the music, Andrae Crouch and The Disciples really moves me and I once went to see the London Community Gospel Choir at The Arches and was totally knocked out.

The Latin chanting can get tiresome: wish they'd do it in English,that's all.

regardez vous

henri

Na, I was being silly, henri. I totally agree about the chanting.

Here's something more sensible:

Naebody has suggested Lindisfarne's Fog on the Tyne yet. I know it was played on alliteration night but this is a song which would be difficult to sing correctly on a stag party in Newcastle


All together now,

Could a copper catch a crooked coffin maker
Could a copper comprehend
That a crooked coffin maker's just an undertaker
Who undertakes to be a friend

He won't be playing Glasgow for fear of being booed and having fruit chucked at him!

#57 Bob Seger is a cheating diver that feigns injury! Whatever next!!

Plastic fruit!

I admit he may make a meal of some fouls but I'm not sure there is much feigning required when up against the assassin known as Scott Brown.

Did you see the game? I dont think cheating was actually required.

Anyway, we're beginning to sound like Gaie and Henri earlier - not a discussion for the Blog. If you didnt see the game you can refer to this impartial view:

On Listen Again - yup, good show.

Bryan, given you expect your producers to dress in theme, did Babs come in her Daisy Dukes and a bikini on top?

If they were supposed to be playing the role of nineteen year olds, did BB fall to the floor clutching his ankle then start greetin when Babs told him to grow up?

Two whole shows plus nine minutes without the usual dross. Ach weel, still must be a record.

Keep on making progress like this and you could be out within three months.

Dul sour ass

Fresh R.E.M... can't say I didn't try!

















































No surprise really, I feel fine.

Good show tonight and some inspired choices. Shirley Ellis and Martin Sexton going on the paolopod.
