What about Saturday's theme? Or will the hour on Saturday be themeless?

Speaking of Saturday, can you arrange to begin at 17:00 and not 18:00?

Otherwise you clash with Bill Black's Country Show.

I know I can 'Listen Again' but think of the inconvenience!

I'll leave the matter in your capable hands, in the expectation that it will be resolved forthwith.

Thanking you in advance, S-g

Don't know this plastic bertram but his big cousin Plastic Bertrand had a big hit... :o)





PedanticinDenny

#2 Well spotted Frank, however the King of the Divan would have done much better with the name Bertram I reckon.

Monday

Gloria - Umberto Tozzi (1979)

See this for some fine usage of the lisp in singing.

#3
Just drpping the Plastic part would have been a good move.... ;o)

#5. Dropping even. (No easy posting with ma Blackberry)

More news on the Saturday theme as we go thro the week - can't promise to solve the clash problem for you Scotch. You'll need to go with your heart and I know you'll make the right decision!

Have a good weekend and enjoy coming up with some great ideas for the themes.....

Really lloking forwrad to the Saturday show as well should be good.

In the meantime here are some europop senstaions

Luisa Fernandez - Lay Love On You
Drupi - Vado Via
Art Company - Susanna
Munich Machine - Get On The Funk Train

a classic:

Joe Le taxi - Vanessa paradis

and a wonderfull duet

carmel / johhny hallyday - J'oublierai Ton Nom

The latter might have been produced by Eno not sure.

Thursday would be a stretcher if it was last word must be first word!

For example

Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Heart of Gold
Gold Dust Woman
Woman In Love
Love to Love You Baby
Baby Stop Crying
Crying In The Rain
Rain and Tears
Tears In Heaven
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

.....is it still light outside?

Get Back In The USSR You Lonesome Tonight A DJ Saved My Life Is Good Day Sunshine Of Your Love Loves To Love Love Me Tender Is The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Down To You Are Everything Is Everything Is Beautiful Boy In A Bubble

#10

a full show in one blog post....good going Glen

Glen that is superb!

MONDAY

'She' - Charles Aznavour

Many of the show's listeners think that this is an Elvis Costello song.

Remove the veil, let them hear the man sing the song as the song should be sung.

IMHO

#13

I agree - and I am not one of those people! I have vivid memories of Aznavour appearing on telly in the 1970's with his smart DJ and dickie... ;-)

Gimme Gimme Gimme Three Steps To Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel Of The Morning Has Broken Down Angel From Momtgomery



This is FUN!!

To Cry You A Song For Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square

>8-D

I dont want to dip my wick in your ointment Glen, but it was "Last Night A DJ..."


BTW, Gloria (as requested in #4) was Umberto's original, not a cover. Jonathan King and Laura Brannigan among others covered it.

Scotch good stuff - next thing would be there has to be Baarbaras 23 songs and start and end on same word! Someone can do it!

#4, #14

Umberto is wearing a big dickie. Is this some macho Italiano thingmio?

Not sure if it was picked up from the previous blog, so here we go again.

DC in Cellardyke

Umberto Tozzi and Drupi. Brilliant suggestions.

Since nothing of my own is slapping me about the face for Monday Ill
eagerly move onto to Tuesday. As Someone who invariably ends

Joe
Linlithgow

Paolo, .>22 (shoot, I mean #22),

which piano bar do you end up in? Sounds like someone lookin like 'Sam' will be on the old white joanna when you walk in....

'In all the bars in all the Get It On appreciation Societies in all the world...... And you have to walk into this one.... Play the Sex Pistols' 'Pretty Vacant' again Sam, for old times sake.... Whaaddddaaayyyaa mean, you don't know that tune???? You related to Babs or summin????"


DC in Casablanca

Monday

Volare - Domenico Modugno - A sunny tune from a simpler time
Sylvia - Focus - The skilled and melodic Jan Akkerman

Tuesday

Monkey Man - Rolling Stones - Nicky Hopkins does not get enough credit
On the Rebound - Floyd Cramer - Often imitated but you heard it here first
I'm Your Toy - Elvis Costello - I could listen to Steve Nieve all night

Wednesday

Mr. Bad Example - Warren Zevon - Several commandments are broken here
Seminole Bingo - Warren Zevon - A corrupt banker gets his comeuppance

Glen, I saw your mention of The Rolling Stones for Tuesday and was immediately reminded of the late great Ian Stewart, the original member of that group, who played piano and organ on many of their hits.

I recall as a youngster, the local rumour that a famous band had stayed overnight in Cellardyke (actually next door to where I was brought up and now less than fifty yards from where I am as I type...).

We all thought that it was none other than the Beatles, a new group on the block, and the only 'popstars' who had been heard of in the East Neuk. Little did we know that 'Stu' had founded the greatest band of all time, OK, Pink Floyd might just give them a run for their mega-money.....

Stu's auntie, 'Mrs Wilson', stayed a couple of doors away and made ham and eggs for the Stones that morning. OK, Ian Stewart was born in Pittenweem and is actually what we refer to as a 'Tornerse'. Nevertheless, he was, and I suppose still is, one of my all-time heroes

Bryan, please play 'Lets spend the night together'. Great piano intro.



DC in Cellardyke

And if Babs veto's the Rolling Stones, the next best thing is the Bruce Springsteen 'Live in New York' version of 'Jungleland'

A graaayyyytt way to end the show on Tuesday

DC

DC are you really in Casablanca? Did you sail there?

Surely the Springsteen piano song should be one of the following:

Racing In The Street
The Promise
Drive All Night

The latter two with the Boss on the piano, but I would be suggesting Racing In The Street.

#26
It's the one with the deep comfy leather sofas, the kind that once you flop into them it's very difficult to get back out. Considering the bar prices that's my excuse anyway......

Why did you have to come to Corinthian?.There are other places....

re Springsteen piano songs...you light are gonna have me typing in bold capitals soon. There is no contest, not when you're up against the single most perfect recording in musical history. The first song he ever sang on british shores, raw emotional, a song destined to be a classic but never sung as well again.



Not a negative comment to be seen.

light??? I mean lot

You make a compelling case paolopablo, but i do not take kindly to my Boss credentials being questioned!!! ;o)

Enjoy this clip with the professor and phantom Dan wonderful piano and organ playing

#27 - Glen - Sylvia is a great suggestion!!


Joe
Linlithgow

Joe was it you that recommended Tacks,the boy disaster a few months ago? Its a great cd.

#36 - Norrie - Yes; it is indeed, but I'd be very surprised if Paris was played.

Glen's mention of Focus reminded me of that other Dutch chart-topper: "Radar love" by Golden Earring.

Joe
Linlithgow

#30

Any where the wind blows....

You mean anywhere. Don't worry, son. Ah'll keep ye right.

>8-D

TUESDAY

'A Day to Myself' - Clfford T. Ward

A wee reminder of the sacrifices made on our behalf in France, 65 years ago.
A lovely song, from a man who is sadly missed.

TUESDAY

All The Way From Memphis - Mott the Hoople. Great song for a bit of Air Piano. (2nd record I ever bought too).


#28 Once when Ian Stewart was visiting relatives me and my mate (whose mum and dad he was visiting) got in his flash American car and found signed Rolling Stones photos in the glove compartment.

A Tornerse in Rio

#32, #34

If we have to listen to Brucie, I have several suggestions.

'You Don't Get Anything For a Pair. Not in This Game!' - Duet with Jordan

'Don't Forget the Cuddly Toy!' - Live at the luggage carousel, Glasgow Airport

'Nice to See You, To See You, Nice' - The French original, recorded on the Riviera

Vive Le Boss!

>8-D

More on Ian Stewart.
Did you know that Ian Rankin modelled Rebus on Ian Stewart?
And that he wrote a song about him a couple of years back that featured on an album called Ballad of the Book?
First and only time `Pittenweem` has been rhymed with `rock and roll dream`

THE SIXTH STONE
Words by Ian Rankin, music by Aidan Moffat and the Best Ofs

All the way from Pittenweem
to the rock 'n' roll dream,
all the way from East Neuk, Fife,
to the R&B life,

Down in dear old London town,
you were the conscience of the band,
and when those Stones they had to roll,
it was you that drove the van,

All the way from Pittenweem
to the rock 'n' roll dream,
all the way from East Neuk, Fife
to the R&B life,

But your face just didn't fit,
chiselled like a lump of coal,
and as the groupies came and went,
you'd be on the eighteenth hole,

Far away from Pittenweem
with the rock 'n' roll dream,
far away from East Neuk, Fife,
with the R&B life,

So from Beggars through to Exile,
you dug out rhythms like black diamonds,
but cruising down Route 66,
did you dream of lochs and highlands?

Did you dream of Pittenweem,
not the rock 'n' roll dream,
did you dream of East Neuk, Fife,
or the R&B life?

All the way from Pittenweem
to the rock 'n' roll dream,
all the way from East Neuk, Fife,
Until the end of your life...

Tuesday suggestion;

Uncertain Smile by The The with the stupendous ivory tinkling of Jools Holland. (please don't cut it off in its prime if you do play BB!)

We will be on the M6 on the way to Birmingham that night(stopping off en route to Cornwall for holiday) so have a great GIO week everyone.

Mazzy & Donald

EURO-MONDAY

Glorious - Andreas Johnson (The song really lives up to the title!)
Play Dead - Bjork
Les Bicyclettes de Belsize - Mireille Mathieu

Mpnday
In july 77 I was a 15 year old boy scout holidaying at the international scout and guides camp in Kandersteg switzerland. I don't know who's idea it was to send hormonal 15 year old guys from the west of Scotland in amongst teenage girls from all over Europe, but anyway, to our delight we discovered that the local hostelry Simplon Suzie's would serve beer if you were over 14. In the corner was a jukebox and on that jukebox was a song that was played over and over again. We just new it as the sexy song because of the female moaning over the intro. Six months later it was a Uk no.1. It was cheesy to the extreme but it'll always remind me of being legally served my first bottle of beer high up in the alps... and the blonde belgian penpal I acquired along the way.

So for euro night....play the sexysong

Yes sir I can Boogie / Baccara

#72

Way to go Paulo! I'm sure there will be those who would not have suggested such a tune, but if it gets played it will be fun!

#73
I would be happy if he even just used the intro in the montage.


A couple of alternatives

A little love and understanding / Gilbert Becaud
Always thought it sounded like Neil Diamond with a french accent

Only you can rock me / UFO
Does part european count?

With a username like mine you didn't think I'd let you get away without playing something by Belgium's finest did you?

How about La Valse a Mille Temps? That's quite an upbeat tune and not one of the songs that always gets trotted out when somebody wants to play a Jacques Brel song.

Jules nr Dumfries

Oh rats! Suggesting Brel means that I have to listen to him on my ipod and even though it is one of the "trotted out" tunes... La Quete is absolutely fantastic.

Jules nr Dumfries

Euro Monday:

* Charles Trenet: Boum!
* Kraftwerk: Pocket Calculator (although the Bill Bailey Kraftwerk-esque version of the Hokey Cokey would also be good)
* Nena: 99 Luftballons (auf Deutsch, bitte)
* Giorgio Moroder/Phil Oakey: Together in Electric Dreams
* Sigur Ros: Hoppipolla
* The Sugarcubes: Birthday

(really, really, really trying to avoid Barbie Girl here btw)

But please please, try to dig out a copy of My Lovely Horse.

#77

You think Bryan would fall for the 'Phil Oakey's wee sister, Carrie' line again?

>8-D

Yeah, he's not as young as he was his memory is probably going now, poor old thing. Try it ;)

Jules *ducking & running*

#77, #78, #79

Ah, the Life Of Bryan:



:-)

#65

Not everybody likes Roxette, of course, but compared to many many other acts in their 'euro niche' they have had a degree of longevity and produced a body of tracks that have real credibility. Not only that, but they are a brilliant live act and have received numerous awards for their output. I caught them live in Belgium once and I have to say I was really surprised at how good they were - amazing band, brilliant set, and lots of really good songs. Trust me - they will be cool again!

These aren't the droids you're looking for...

#72 - The thing is Paulo, and I've said this before, where the Baccara song falls down for me is that I can't imagine a gent in a 70's disco coming out with the line:
"Excuse me young lady, but can you boogie?"
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Julie, Marie or Jan have been asked that in the past, I don't know...
I am also curious to know what that "certain song" was.

#81 Maybe they could play Suicide 23mins Over Brussels cd! Probably not!

#82
My guess on that certain song would be
Get up and boogie / Silver Convention

Perhaps they like to be dominated and just have to be telt

Hello. For the European show on Monday, how about a track from Belgian group dEUS? My two favourites are the singles Little Arithmetics and Theme From Turnpike.

Good stuff.

Raymie in Consett.

Europop, a bit of a difficult one as the few I know have already been requested, and I refuse to go for the Irish as that is too easy and I think not quite in the spirit of the theme. Plus the likes of Tatu will just get me started off on a tangent that will end in major self moderation, but probably too late. So, how about Zucherro and Paul Young Senza una Donna', or Trio and 'Da, Da, Da'.

NB I just know that apart from the stuff already requested I will listen tonight and recognise so many things that I had forgotten / didn't realise they were euro.

Monday

I'ts a Rainy Day Sunshine Girl - Faust.

Then fade to....

The Smurf song - Father Abraham.

TUESDAY's

Piano Bar

Une Nuit A Paris - 10cc

Back to Black - Amy Winehouse

Oh! You Pretty Things or Life on Mars or Aladdin Sane - David Bowie

Monday - Kleenex "You", or the flip-side "U" (with an umlaut). Swiss neo-punk that should have been bigger. The band was also known as Liliput if you're searching the net and likely to play it...

I thought on Giorgio Moroder as well - his solo single Son Of My Father or anything from the Scarface Soundtrack would be good but his work on the Sparks album No.1 Song In Heaven is brilliant, title track would be great.

Which got me thinking through the link with Keith forsey that Boney M will bound to be played and Nighflight to Venus is a bit of an oddity.

You could reduce us Neil Young fans to tears with their cover of Heart of gold.

For Monday Max B Gold is thinking along the lines of Tarzan Boy by Baltimora as it reminds him of the France/Spain/Portugal Road trip of '85 in the Hillman Hunter.

Or going back to 82 and Harry Klorkestein's fantastic "Oh oh Den Haag" or Nina's 99 Luft Balloons which always seemed to be on the juke box in the pub in Hoodekenskerke.

Those were the days when Max worked in the pickled onion factory in Holland. I say pickled onions but we also did gherkins too and it's only fair that they should also get a mention.

From Wikipedia -

After the success of O o Den Haag had died, was nothing more of Harry Klorkestein learned.

Tuesday.

River - Joni Mitchell
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon.
Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull.
Hello its me - Todd Rundgren.
Care of Cell 44 - The Zombies.
Short People - Randy Newman.
Lets Spend the Night Together - The Rolling Stones ( or anything featuring Nicky Hopkins).
Homburg - Procol Harem.

#93

Methinks the Tull/Bragg nexus is going to have to expand and rename itself as the Tull/Bragg/Rundgren nexus...

#94 WE HAVE THE POWER!

#95

Try that again with an echo chamber!



:-)

"The day I held aloft my magic sword"

#97
And got arrested.

"The pen is mightier" - S. Rushdie speaking from an unknown location.

I dont know who blogged the refernce but glas I now know what a Fender Rhodes is and amazingly then I was watching an outstanding clip with Tift Merrit playing her song Good Hearted Man solo on one. Brilliant.

Roy Bittan is on an incredible amount of lps from artists as diverese as Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Bowie etc etc. From his work I would like to nominate the following track:

Bob Seger - Roll Me Away, brilliant Seger track with a great intro

The other artist I associated with the piano, although he does play guitar as well is Jackson Browne. He has many many great piano based tracks including Fountain of Sorrow, Befor the Deluge, For A Dancer. My favourite song of his though is

Jackson Browne - Sky Blue and Black

I would also like to give honourable mentions to the following:

David Sancious (Springsteen Incident on 57th Street)
Neil Young (Tracy Chapman - All That Have Is Your Soul)
Steve Nieve (Costello - Olivers Army)
Mikey Gallacher (Clash - Wrong Em Boyo)

You could do a mega list and we are going to have Elton, and why not, lets make it a good one:

Elton John - I Want Love

And seconding Werevolves and Alladin sane.
