Looking for a burp - Canyons of your mind - B side of the Urban Spaceman by the Bonzo Dog DooDah Band. (I don't think you'll play it though) It's also got a bit of heavy breathing too.

MONDAY

'Bouree' - Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson interprets J.S. Bach, playing the flute while simultaneously making weird and and wonderful noises.

M

Let It Grow - Eric Clapton - Charitably we assume it's an intake of breath
Canyons of Your Mind - Bonzos - Seconding the other EC - at least Viv didn't end up with the Brodsky Quartet

T

Pasadena - Temperance Seven - For my son there
Obama Lamabamaloo - Little Richard - more manic high jinks

W

Big Bad John -Jimmy Dean - Don't give him no lip
I'll Never Get Over You - Johnny Kidd and The Pirates - So make the breakfast yourself

T

Cut Across Shorty - Eddie Cochran - And win Miss Lucy's hand
Is That All There Is? - Peggy Lee - An insensitive and troubling question

Mon - I feel Love by Donna Summer

Tue- Teenage Rampage - the Sweet
I wanna be Elected - Alice Cooper

Wed --There's no light on the christmas tree mama, they're burning BIG Louie tonight. - SAHB (and most probably the longest song title !!)

Thur - Wee Willie Winkie - available here

Woo hoo EC! - you beat me to it for the "burpy" track :0)

JimmiH

I saw Alex perform this song in Glasgow in 1970 (or 71) with a pick-up band including ex-Soul Band drummer George McGowan and others who had been with him in Hamburg. The unexpected humour in the chorus was well received.

I think he was still doing Hair at that time but shortly after he re-launched his career with Tear Gas.

Glen

See here:

Would Strummer yelping in London calling count for Mondays theme?

Oh, how I searched for this week, and then thought 'Dammit, man, just pick one that you really like for each, and be done with it!'
So, I tried, and here they are.

M

Tour De France - Kraftwerk...full of rhythmic panting, but in a healthy way.

T

Oklahoma Hills - Jimmie Wakely
OR
Blue Moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe & his Bluegrass Boys///Elvis Presley....you decide

W

Big Muff - John Martyn..... nah, there's no way you could. It's over six minutes long! So, instead, I suggest:-
Big Bird - Eddie Floyd....you really ought to, it's that good

T

Wee Tom - Lord Rockingham XI
Tiny Tears - Tindersticks
Little Green Bag - George Baker Selection

And that's that!
Thank you.

Hey Mike T - Big Bird was played before and you are absolutely right - its a great track, would be great to hear that on again! I am pretty sure it is a tribute Otis Redding?

For the States theme I think a mega choice would be 'Delaware' by Perry Como as it lists tons of States! Great fun song!

I have, of course, submitted a complete list of songs relating to all 50 states plus a few of the major cities - I tried to blog it here but it broke the 大象传媒... :-)

At last, I can listen to Radio 2 between 21:00 and 23:00 on a Saturday.
Alex Lester is the King of Lateral Thinking.
Pure dead brilliant, BTW

Graham Bonnet (61 this December) has a curious wee sigh just before the chorus, three quarters of the way through "Since You've Been Gone" by Rainbow

Monday :

Madonna Justify My Love or is it too raunchy for GIO?

JanFromRutherglen - I think the question is whether or not BB's producer can take the 'electricity' that might be generated in the room... Babs, have a rolled up paper at the ready! Richard - you're safe!

Monday - Huffs, Puffs and Sighs

Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Close To Me - The Cure
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Jungle Fever - Chakachas - more sounds than you'll know what to do with!

JimmiHenshyte Get Yourself Together by Small Faces would work for Monday too.

Hi All

Just read a review of what surely must be a "must " for all GIO regulars or a good xmas suggestion for better halves to get us; Hang The DJ by Angus Cargill - An Alternative Book of Music Lists.

Great quote from one of the reluctant contributors; Lists are for facists and shoppers not anarchists and rockers!

Heres to a good week.

k.d.lang- "Barefoot" is stunning. She "howls" at the end of the song - it's a beautiful vocal effect.

"Could It Be Forever" - a croaked "but" about two thirds of the way through the song.

"Yin Tong Song" - The Goons (not one of my favourites but it does feature raspberry blowing!)

good shout for "since you've been gone"

David Bowie - Sound and Vision (Mary Hopkins giving it loads of doo doo and what not)

The Clash - London Calling - (Joe Strummer yelling and make wolf type noises)

John Lennon - Mother (Lennon lots of primal screaming and wonderful production by Phil Spector)

Also liable to produce a gun.

Tracks for Monday :

Body Language - Queen
Three Little Pigs - Green Jelly

MONDAY
HUFFS & PUFFS
The end of Roxy Music's 'The Bogus Man' has some suggestive sighs from Mr Ferry.
The start of 'Dance Away' has BF striking a matchind drawing on a cigarette.

TUESDAY
AMEIRICAN CITIES AND STATES

Bryan Ferry was born in Washington CD (County Durham)
Roxy's first single 'Virginia Plain' as well as 'Prairie Rose' name checks Texas several times

WEDNESDAY
BIG
Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera has a track called 'Big Day' (vocals by Eno) on the 'Diamond Head' album and 'Big Dome' oh his album 'Primitive Guitars'

THURSDAY
SMALL
Brian Eno's 'Another Green World' album has a track called 'Little Fishes'

Dykerlad, RoxyJohn - great lists! Make sure you keep up the good work! The producers love lists, especially if you get them up EARLY in the week... Creates more drinking time later on.

EC #22
Just for the record I was not by an means intimating any list makers on the blog are facists or shoppers I was merely quoting a topical reference ;-)

I am also in favour of a bit of "Justify My Love" for tonights theme, failing this it has to be "Shes Out of My Life" by Michael Jackson which I know is a favourite of BB's.

Maria

Monday

"The Changeling" by The Doors, grunty
"Est-ce Que Je Suis?" by Gong, a big long psychedelic sneeze
"Valium 10" by Hawkwind (seeing as you failed to play it on the sound fx evening, BB), nasty dentist chair panic noises

MONDAY
HUFFS & PUFFS
Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax with the big HAAAUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! bit

TUESDAY
AMEIRICAN CITIES AND STATES

Siimple Minds 'The American'
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
My fear for tonight is the many requests for the Karaoke favourite American Pie. If I never hear that song again........

WEDNESDAY
BIG
'Big Slep' by Simple Minds as a song I suggested for the sleep theeme but was never played. A reminder of my early band days when we used to do this song.
'Big Love' by Fleetwood Mac. A Singer in a band I was in used to do this song and he was superb at it.
'The Big Sky' or 'Big Stripy Lie' both by Kate Bush
The Big Dish 'Big Town' 2 bigs for the price of one.

THURSDAY
SMALL
'Hey Little Girl' by Icehouse, the closest you will get to a Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music rip off
'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' by The Police
'Little Wonder' David Bowie
'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' (someone must have covered this.

Tues- Texan Love Song-Elton John
Dear Mr President-Pink

Wed or Thurs


Girls- Moments and Whatnuats (?)


Three night on sighs is a bit much don't you think?

Oh I forgot for my Roxy Music list for Thursday, 'My Little Girl' an OK wee song but not Roxy at their best.

RoxyJohn,
I'm sure I heard on some radio show that 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' was written by Mozart.
If anyone wants to cover it at least there will be no issues regarding copyright.

Hello!

Monday

"A Day in the life" by the beatles. The macca bit has some panting in it after "looking up, I noticed I was late".

Tuesday

This made me think of Sufjan Stevens and his 50 states project (he intends/intended writing an album about each state). He's done two so far, Michigan and Illinoise so he'd better get cracking if he is going to actually finish it. I'm a big fan of Sufjan but most of his best songs are really long and probably not fitting for the show so I'll go for:

"Nutbush city limits" by Ike and Tina Turner

Wednesday

The first thing that popped into my head was "Moby Dick" by Led Zepplin but I think I'd rather second Danielle's "Gigantic" by The Pixies instead.

Thursday

Danny Kaye's "Inchworm"

Regards,
Mr. Chops, The Dwarf

Tuesday:

Steve Earle - Telephone Road

Billy Joel - Allentown

Steve Forbert - Miss the Mississippi and You

Gram Parsons - Street of Baltimore, Hickory Wind.

Bob Seger - Get Out of Denver

John Mellencamp - To Washington (an anti-Bush song)...or Pink Houses (Ain't That America)

Bruce Springsteen - My Oklahoma Home

Marty Robbins - El Paso

Ray Charles - Georgia

Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks (about all the anti-Bush hoo ha)

Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941

Re posts 14 & 34, Justify My Love has been played on GIO, for the "Get It On" theme a few months ago.

I remember it because I'm still traumatised from that show by the thought that people out there are getting it on to Steamy Windows, but each to their own.

I might as well get this in before someone else, who flies a plane, does:

Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsborough - Je T'aime Moi Non Plus

JanInGlasgow,
I would have preferred Tony Joe White's rendition.
Alas, I am responsible for your distress.
In order to spare you any horrific flashbacks, I hereby promise not to request it again.

Another one for either Wed or Thurs

Long Tall Sally- Little Richard. If Little Richard was born in Scotland i don't think he would have made it to the big time. Instead of being known as Little Richard, he would have been called Wee Dick, not quite so appealing to the masses.

Tuesday
Dakota by The Stereophonics and I'll second DC on More Than A Feeling. Has a better power ballad ever been written?

Thursday
In The Wee Small Hours of The Morning - Frank Sinatra.

Tuesday - there must be enough for a week of get it on with this theme. Some great suggestions already, esp Danielle from Canada. What about The Only Living Boy in New York, either S+G original or EBTG version. Or Mississippi Goddam by Nina Simone. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Synyrd, Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles, Stuck inside of mobile - Mr D...gonna be a great night. But is a change a-gonna come?

Sighs:

Say What You Want - Texas

I'm surprised no one else mentioned it!


Good call from Canadian Danielle about the Chakachas' Jungle Fever.
I'll see you that and raise you 'Coming and Going' by the Ray Brown Orchestra.

Here's one for your Thursday too:
Little Queenie - Bill Black's Combo

Scotch-git, as I said, each to their own, although I think that it being the Tina Turner version had a lot to do with it.

Adam From Rio, I have gone for Dakota for Tuesday as well, mainly to try to reintroduce discussion the theme suggestion of songs where the title doesn't appear in the lyrics.

Wednesday

Big Log - Robert Plant
Big in Japan - Alphaville
Big Country - Big Country
Big Bad John - Jimmy dean
Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell
Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
Nellie the Elephant - Toy Dolls

Add-on to Tuesday:

Brand New Tennessee Waltz - the Mathews Southern Comfort version is lovely.

TUESDAY

Sarah Palin can preside over me anytime.

We could compare vices......................

Monday:

I Feel Love - Donna Summer
Justify My Love - Madonna
Relax - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Tuesday:
Promised Land - Johnny Allen (mentions so many places)
Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed
Get out of Denver - Bob Seger
Road Runner - Jonathan Richman
You'r Crazy for Taking the Bus - Jonathan Richman
Jersey Girl - Tom Waits or Bruce Springsteen
Going up to Boston - Dropkick Murphy's

Wednesday:
Mighty Man - Mungo Jerry (I'm sure I remember this being dedicated to Harold Wislon)
Growing Up - Bruce Springsteen
Great Southern Land - Icehouse
Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell
Big Girls Don't Cry - Four Seasons (or was it Franki Valli and the...)

Thursday:
Tiny dancer - Elton John
All the Small Things - Blink 182

and that's enough as like last week work is intruding into my social life far too much.

I always thought Little Richard should have done Big Log.

Monday
The SIGHS Of a Cow- The Wonderstuff

My word - I see you lot are back chatting, being nice and making lists! Tsk tsk.

Monday, I would rather stick with my original suggestions but probably more in keeping with the themse

Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime (burping into a demijohn, I think)

Elastica - Line Up - the drummer making horrible burp noises. Yuk.

Re Scotch #52 !!!!!!!!

My Tuesday mega list to follow!!!!

Norrie

We're all hanging on the edge of our seats waiting for the mega list.

Hope you don't double up on any of Dykerlads.

Nope EC - I'm off the lisst, you should have noticed by now. But I do think I have some good songs for Tuesday!

WED - BIG:

Great Big Man - Don McLean
Empire State Human - Human League

TUESDAY - Presidential as an alternative to states etc.

Gary US Bonds - Out Of Work, (penned by Bruce and and has the lyric "hey Mr President, I hear you got some plans, to do all you can to help the little man")

David Bowie - Young Americans ("do you remember, your President Nixon")

Indigo Girls - Let It Be Me ("the President, has no good idea, who the masses are")

Little Steven - I AM A Patriot ("I aint no democratic, i aint no Republican")

Lou Reed - The Day John Kennedy Died.

Norrie #60, you got me wondering about working with Presidents names. Off the top of my head (because I'm supposed to be working, like many on this blog I suppose!) we could have (Dinah) Washington, (Bryan) Adams, Jefferson (Airship), Jackson (Browne), (George) Harrison, (R Dean) Taylor, (Eddie) Grant, (Isaac) Hayes, (Jackie) Wilson and of course (Nut) Bush (City Limits).

Come on guys, there's another 31 artists to be suggested here! What about this for another theme Bryan?

DC in Cellardyke

OOOOPS!!!! Just found out my comment #61 was a topic of the blog quite recently.

Sorry folks! Ach well, back to work.............

DC

You've been away fae the Blog too long DC. Jim gave us a full list last week (apart from Rita Coolidge).

The Full Fat Bear suggests

"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who has Roger Daltrey sounding like a screaming mountain lion at some points.

Bernie Williams - Ever Again brilliant track, loads of whoops.

and of course....

The Mixtures - The Pushbike Song

Sighs/Noises Theme:

I'd like to second Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who - great shout, if you'll pardon the pun...

and also suggest...

Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
Justify Our Love - Madonna
On Horseback - Mike Oldfield (has a laugh in it as the choir comes in!)
Puff The Magic Dragon - The Seekers
Body Language - Queen (loads of ooh's and aah's in it)
Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs

I was in danger of creating a huge list around Tuesday's American theme, so thought of a theme within a theme, so my suggestions are associated with the candidates home states
Sen. Obama - Razzle dazzle them - from Chicago the musical ( not that i wish to comment on American politics)
Sen McCain - By the time I get to Pheonix - Bobby Goldsboro
Sen. Palin - Anchorage - Michelle Shocked
Sen.Biden - not a lot of options here Delaware has been suggested previously on the blog.
Keeping the American theme going
Weds Long tall Texan - Lyle Lovet
Thurs little red corvette - Prince

Jim

Moved this in here as I stuck it in the wrong thread...

Blind Lemon Jefferson - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

M

Lets get Married The Proclaimers

T

New York Ryan Adams (or the Sex Pistols would do)

W

Big Gay Heart The Lemonheads

T

Alternative Ulster Stiff Little Fingers

Norrie #60

If we're counting lyrics with references to presidents, what about Model Worker by Magazine? Originally references Carter on the album version and changed to Reagan on the Live version a year later.

"I've got no worried bout the enemy, coz i know that Carter will look after me"

EC my lists are stealth lists - drop them in over a few posts.....anyway I think there must be about four hundred in the lists of states, town etc.

Hi GIO,

Just got time for a couple of suggestons tonight,
The Dreaming by Kate Bush has lots of heavy breathing on it and it's an excellent tune (Rolf Harris plays digeridu on it too).

Main Offender by The Hives (lots of squeal).


Ta.

MONDAY

Boomtown Rats opening to 'Modern Girl' what a scream that is
"Ga ga ga gaaaaaaa!!!!!!"

TUESDAY AMERICA
David Bowie:
Young Americans
This Is Not America
I'm Afraid Of Americans

Bryan Ferry has a track called 'N.Y.C.' but it is best left alone. The weakest track on what is a really good and under rated album 'Mamouna'

Jim #67, there were two Harrisons, so the other could have been the Travelling Wilburys featuring Danny Harrison in a tribute to his dad.

There were also two Roosevelts, so we could include Roosevelt Sykes.

Of course there are two Bush presidents, and the current one is definitely a nutter so my Ike & tina suggestion stands.

There was also another Adams (Quincy) so Bryan could be the artist here.

I was stuck for the last president (unless we include Pink Floyd's "Have a cigar") until I thought of "Misty" as played for me by CLINT ON that film of the same name........

I think that's the lot!

DC

Hey DC good suggestions. I did leave out a couple of duplicates as you said and I couldn't really think of anything much for Clinton apart from songs mentioning cigars... Best not go there eh?

Cannot help but stick my oar in:

George Clinton - Loopzilla.

Monday

Drive In Saturday - David Bowie
"She鈥檇 SIGH like Twig the wonder kid"
On one chorus the word sigh is actually sung in a sighing voice.

Mr Blue Sky - ELO
A bit of huffing and puffing after the "running down the avenue" line.

Monday:'The Yawning Man' from Tom Thumb

Tuesday:'Memphis Tennessee,Chuck Berry

Wednesday:John Wayne Is Big Leggy,Haysey Fantayzee

Thursday:
If you thought Nina and Frederic was bad
how about 20 Tiny Fingers by Alma Cogan.

Jim, DC,
What about Bluegrass fiddler Clinton Gregory?

Another band famed for their use of "saucey" breathing are Depeche Mode. Any one of "I Want You Now", "Halo" or Personal Jesus" would be great

Scotch - I was trying to make the list purely about the presidents' surnames in the title of the song... :-) But these are good suggestions.

"She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper is a great heavy breathing song, plus it gets bonus points cos it's one of those you innocently sang along with as a kid and then hear as an adult and discover it was actually completely dirty.

Clinton Ford is a two-for-one - thrill to his hit single of yesteryear "Fanlight Fanny"

Thank you, thank you, thank you for playing Jeff Buckley. I've added him to many a list and this is the first I've heard him played. I actually had to stop working and just listen to that one - Amazing!

Danielle - are you self-employed or something? Nobody standing over you cracking the whip? I get away with all this frivolity ONLY because I am the boss! LOL

Jim - Being the boss definitely has its benefits! I don't think I'll ever be able to work for another again. It's this show that keeps me glued to my computer working - for a couple of hours anyway!

Cue controversy......I do like Jeff Buckley and I have most of all if not all his cd's....but ~I think that version of Hallelujah is incredibly overrated. Cue hate mail!

Looking forwrad to Leonard at the Armadilo on Wed!

Ah well if you're a Leonard fan then you have absolutely no taste in music! Just about everything he has ever done (one or two fantastic exceptions...) are even sadder that Old Shep or Puff The Magic Dragon! LOL

It's OK Danielle - I think I've just covered for you...

U.S. States for Tuesday:

"Private Idaho" -- the B-52's (we haven't had any Idaho suggestions yet, and this is a great song!)

"Carolina in My Mind" -- James Taylor (I am required by law to suggest that one cos it's about my home state)

And a good city one we haven't had suggested yet:

"Lubbock or Leave It" -- Dixie Chicks

Rich in North Carolina

Ouch that hurt Jim :o(

Norrie - and just when I thought we were becoming friends...
I enjoy the original, but prefer Buckley's version (I think I hear the Mounties knocking at my door to banish me from the country now). But hey, I like the Flaming Lips, so I don't know if my musical tastes can be trusted.
Enjoy the show on Wednesday!

Norrie - just kidding! (sort of...)

Thanks Jim!

Nae bother!

Thanks Danielle...to be honest I put that on very much tongue in cheek......I do love Jeff Buckley! I'm a big laughing Lennie fan but for me the great cover versions are by John Cale and k d lang.

Thanks as ever for your nice message!

Norriemac,
don't listen to the Phillistines!Jeff Buckley's version is not bad but LC is the original and best.Saw him in Edinburgh a couple of months ago and going to the Armadillo for a second helping.

What night are you going Joe...I cant wait, I had tickets for Edinburgh but could not go and was gutted, thought i had lost the chance for ever!

I am weak......even though I think this theme was on pretty recently?

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Josh Ritter - California
Steve Earle - Christams In Washington
SAHB - Boston Tea Party
Tom Waits - Kentucky Avenue
Mary Chapin Carpenetr - Halley Came to Jackson
Lou Reed - NYC Man
Mick Ronson - Slaughter on 10yh Avenue
