BRING ME THE SLOSH (OR IS IT THE ALLEYCAT?) OF FRANK IN DENNY!

I love dancing. Great theme!! Mega list to follow!

THURSDAY


If you go dancing at the Seaview Hotel, Gweedore, County Donegal, (don't go during Lent. Dancing is forbidden during Lent), one song that is guaranteed to fill the floor is;

'You're Such a Good Looking Woman' - Joe Dolan


N.B. The ability to jive will make you very popular with the colleens in Donegal dance halls. Just keep an eye on their 17 brothers. Be in no doubt that they'll be keeping an eye on you...

Let's Get Rocked - Def Leppard

was tonight's show really the pits? (see above) I missed it.

#6

Gaie,

You remember when your mum said if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all? Maybe we should stop ignoring that advice. We might get a song played!

>8-D

Gaie, lets just say that Frightened Rabbit was more like a Flying-Fish in a sea of Wobbegongs

This old heart of mine - the Isley Brothers
A little respect - Erasure

More to follow

Joe
Linlithgow

We'd have all fallen on the floor laughing if she'd said that, Scotch Git. In no time we'd have been needing to remind her of her own advice. Lovely, funny, kind, strong, but never one to shy away from a scurrilous remark!

Anyway, wisnae me said they were scraping the barrel, I'm only paraphrasing.

So let's get jigging

Take me In Your Lifeboat - The Nitty Gritty Dirt band

oh silly me, they probably played that tonight

(I'm a) Roadrunner - Junior Walker

Ach weel...I was out at The Festival Fringe Dahlings...I can recommend 'Casablanca:The Gin Joint Cut'...if you didn't already catch it at The Tron. Think I got the better deal.

now a sight to behold.........



it's thon knopfler tune .....'local hero' .

however i have heard and seen with my own eyes a version which outstrips the original......
i saw george square on a cold cold raw november night rocking and jumpin' by the thousand (2 years runnin' actually)
that wiz real dancin', vic
lively
passionate
a whole community
fun
the tune has such a hook

this will have EVERY listener..... from the up Yellie ha's to the playing fields of gala, from the sands of barra to the fish and chip shops in crail, from the guga hunters to the buckie swallieres.............jiggin'
if there is one dance tune you gotta play its gotta be.....

'local hero'.....................the vatersay boys

GIO

cheers frae the dale

Just read the track-list, then tomorrows theme note & then the blog...
Is Young Vic the free thinking radical the Beeb's masters / his own spin would have us believe, ach it's August and it's an easy pre holiday shift!
There surely must be a Queen disco track!

I'm tempted to join Glen Miller.......

For all the Bloggers on Saturday night

The Hucklebuck / Royal showband

None of your coast to coast crap






Except for frank and his missus who'll be doing his own Beautiful sunday / Sweet Caroline/ Candida three in a row

#2 #15

#4 @ ya SG..............

and of course not every dance song has to be a catchy upbeat number.
there is such a thing as a 'slow dance'.
the type that might have been played towards the end of an evening..when all possibilities had been weighed up...................
there is a marvellous william trevor short story which was made into a film.....

'the ballroom of romance'......a real insight into what passes for 'entertainment' in rural ireland.........i remember he introduced the film at the gft many moons ago...a treat.........

well maybe this band in its youth played such a gig... the all important last waltz...

'i believe'.....................the bachelors

dale_kelvin,

And what about her 17 brothers? Their presence will dampen a young man's ardour! In Gweedore, only married couples are permitted to dance to the Bachelors. (You can make a formal application for the dispensation of the local Bishop, but only if you are officially engaged).

#16

dale_kelvin,

Ah kain! They're trying to bury the evidence! Perhaps the Cap'n can retrieve it for us.

>8-D

#30 @ ya SG

cheers frae the dale

I seem to have strayed into some alien landscape.

won't get you on the dance floor, but it made me smile, over in that other place this morning

#23 no, I'm Spartacus

Wot's the plan for Saturday by the way?

From my formative years, probably not aged very well (just like me):

Pete Shelley - Homosapien
Yazoo - Situation

#35 I'm Brian, and so's my wife!

John Paul Jones - Love Is In The Air
Patrick Hernandez - Born to be Alive
Ashton Gardner & Dyke - Resurrection Shuffle

One track which always filled the dancefloor during my student days was
Sultans of Ping FC - Where's Me Jumper?

#4 - Massive support for Joe Dolan!

Anything by The Drifters will get me on the dancefloor! Especially -

You're More Than A Number In My Little Red Book - The Drifters


Why are there 2 Dancing in the Street links and why can't we get on the other one?

We should be telt!

;o)

yep, a strangely pedestrian show last night, it seemed to me, but overall the week has been good so far - so mustn't grumble. I found Tuesday night's show really interesting not because of what was played, but the range of the range and diversity of what never made it to the playlist, across all communication vehicles.

It seems an odd choice for tonight so they must have something really really populist lined up for Friday.

The following are guaranteed to release the inner disco boy in any routine henri:

First of all, huge 2nd for Roadrunner -Junior Walker & the Allstars - I would have picked this myself Gaie, but it's great, good shout.

Keep On Truckin' - Eddie Kendricks - 8:00 minute album version minimum required for soulful/funk ecstasy.

Space Shanty or Release The Pressure- Leftfield

In My Arms - Mylo

Fever - Sarah Vaughan - Adam Freeland Remix

Pop Music - M - Steve Osbourne/U2 Remix

Hyper Worm Tamer - Grinderman -UNKLE remix

Stay With Me - The faces

Jump Around - House of Pain

Pyjamarama - Roxy Music

The least danceable thing I've heard in a long time was that Ike & Tina version of Proud Mary. By the way, does anyone on this blog actually dance round the kitchen whilst making the tea? I mean, should you not carry out a risk assessment first? I don't think the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ should be encouraging this sort of thing - they'll get sued, but I just plain don't believe it when people say they do this, least of all to Ike & Tina's Proud Mary.

It'll be a relief to Rikki, I'm sure, that Dignity (inevitable, but uncalled for last night: the difference between thematic and desired) has has been knocked off it's perch.

regardez youse

henri

...continuing my current Curtis Mayfield fixation...'Move On Up'

#41 Friday 'celebrates the best of home grown talent'. More royalties for Ricky and "the twins who shall not be named"?

to paraphrase Odyssey...going back to my youth...

Siouxsie and the Banshees - 'Christine' (as a change from the equally great 'Spellbound').

The Clash - 'Rock The Casbah'

Simple Minds - 'I Travel'

...takes me right back to The Buccaneer, beneath The Yellow Carvel...dingy wee hole but they played great music to dance to.

#43 The Proclaimers? Oops sorry....

Manu Chao - 'Welcome To Tijuana'...live version...dancing mandatory.

#35

we're all coming to Edinburgh to get wrecked. You're going to negotiate the Forth and Clyde Canal and get us all safely home. Final destination, Customhouse Quay, Greenock.
Simples.

Frank Zappa - Dancin' Fool

The beat goes on and I'm so wrong ☺

#45 How did you guess??

#41 I used to dance round the kitchen but found I was spilling too much wine ☺

#47 whilst I would have been glad tae be of assistance, they'd need tae raise the M9 at a few points and lock up aw the nice wee boys who use boats for target practice before you could get my boat through.

Is there a wrecking plan (for the bloggers, not the yacht)? Or will I just await telecommunications? Is Vic there?

Thursday choon: Tiger Feet - Mud

DC

By the way Vic, yesterday's blog heading should have read "Anchor's aweigh"

(pe)D(anti)C

I forgot: there are a few by the fab four that always bring me to me feet at social gatherings:

I Saw Her Standing There
You Can't Do That
Twist & Shout

regardez youse

#34

Gaie,

Thanks for that! I fear Mr. Anderson should seriously consider retaining the services of a vocalist. There could be a theme here. Cover versions of Jethro Tull songs! Hey, if we can do it with the Beatles...


'A New Day Yesterday' -

'Love Story' - ~ Just prior to SAHB, who do a version on the 'Penthouse Tapes'

#35

DC,

Rendezvous @ 20, George Street (Hard Rock Café) 19:30 hours. Unless Paolo decrees otherwise.

P.S. The lassies want to know if you and Adam (where is he hiding?) will be kilted.

What's it worth?






;-)

#56

? Deh ken!


>8-D

Excellent shouts, bloggers! Missed last night's show as was (for once) out having a fantastic evening in Comrie, haven't relistened, so couldn't comment re-above wording about it. Sounds to me like Vic was being friendly and aheming the overboard pun, not your choice of music. ;o)

#58 Sorry - can't comment, then proceed to...duh!

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

#59

And Ah'm no' the only wan!


>8-D

#60/ 61 is it safe to LOL here? OK....;o()

The answer is obviously not, then. Moving swiftly along, as you do. Switherin'.

#60

Mary-Doll,

Deh ken whit the problem is!

Nothing I haven't said 100 times before. Hey-ho!

>8-D

#64 if you've said it 100 times before they maybe deleted it as spam. ;o)
