Just so long as you ignore 1966, specifically West Germany being robbed at Wembley.

>8-D

Fear not?

From Apache by the Shadows to Gimme Shelter by The Stones, two weeks would not be enough to play a fraction of the pearls from this decade.

Most subsequent music since can be traced directly to an orginal idea from the Sixties, when it was usually better executed and had more wit, integrity and soul.

Heart (but not love) as a theme? Fist heart transplant was in 1967.

#3. That'll be first heart transplant.

#4

I would also like the court to take the tautological "since" into consideration.

What's to "Fear" Bryan?

Nothing to fear about 'sixties music'boys, it's just the thought of playing a fortnight's worth of the same music might frighten the horses a bit!That applies to any genre - yes even country music.

What's that sound? Can you hear it?







It's Hank. Spinning like a dreidl.

'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles is worth playing because it marked the start of the heavy metal fenommen...pheamon..phenommin.., thing

DC

Aye right, Bryan! C'mon - fess up! You played Wigfield in preparation for your Saturday night excursions into the big smoke!



:-)

#9

I direct to you to Link Wray's Rumble from 1958

You a traffic warden in your spare time Glenn?

Fenominulll!!!

I take it Bryan will play the correct theme from Scrubs on Saturday to make up for attempting the Karaoke version last night?

DC

Plenty of "events" from the sixties that could lead to music from almost any era

for example - the space race / moon landing would give you Telstar, Starman, Man In The Moon, Spaceman etc

#12 - You've got to give Bryan credit for trying - after all he's "no superman" :-D

Its all very well championing the songs folk used to listen to before going out on a Saturday night, but what about the people who stayed in?
In the 70s and 80s I knew quite a few guys who would stay in on a Saturday night (DC for one. He got married when he was 14 and a 1/2 and hasnt been allowed out since).
So for them it was Saturday night TV shows that fired up their weekends, so how about some songs for them.
Here's a list (all are genuine recordings except for one I made up. Haven't found one for Yarwood yet):

Bruce Forsyth When I See An Elephant Fly
Larry Grayson - Shut That Door
Morecambe and Wise Bring Me Sunshine
Mike Yarwood One of those songs he sang after saying and this is me
Little & Large Rock Steady
Russ Abbot - Atmosphere
Cannon and Ball Rock On Tommy
Two Ronnies Up Cat Pole Cat (as Jehosophet and Jones)
Black and White Minstrels - Lil Liza Jane
Val Doonican Walk Tall
Andy Williams - Moon River
Paul Daniels Me and Debbie McGee
Ken Dodd - Tears
Basil Brush Boom Boom Song
Theme from Jimll Fix It
Telly Savalas (Kojak) - If
Dick Emery If You Love Her
Leslie Crowther Great Xmas Pudding Song
David Soul (Starsky and Hutch) Silver lady

Easily a show's worth there but if not you can always tap into Summertime Special's archives. Get some Roy Walker and Showaddywaddy.

#14,

Adam, you had no idea if I went out on a Saturday night or not because you'd be tucked up in bed too frightened to watch Dr Who.....

Graaayyyyttttt idea though

DC

:-)

#16, I knew Adam was up to nae good when he should have been in his bed........

It has been asked for. On more than one occasion. Think we'll need another long song theme though to get it on.

Back in the early to mid 70's I used to go out every saturday night....to play fitba in the street. We had floodlights right along the street even though they had orange bulbs.

In the late 70's and early 80's the student life put paid to my sporting existence when I discovered that universities were a fountain of knowledge where people went to drink.

At that time Shot by both sides / Magazine was my gettin ready to go out and see whatever band was playin in the student union that night song. It lasted just over 3 minutes which meant I could get ready and still hang about and wait for the song finishing.

This Saturday I will mostly be asking for:
I'm Not Going Out Like That - RUN-DMC
Party - Boston
Word Up - Cameo (reminds me of my 'getting ready' days!)
Sgt Rock (Is Going To Help Me) - XTC
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (would get ANYBODY ready!)
Walt Whitman's Niece - Billy Bragg

and for NOT going out:
I'm Not Going Out Like That - RUN-DMC ;-)
Explode - The Cardigans
I'm Not Going Anywhere Tonight - Owen
On Horseback - Mike Oldfield

#20

Retracting the Owen track as I have just remembered it has a swearyat the end... :-S Unless there is a radio edit!

Hi all...

nothing to choose for Sat night ..... off on holiday.... :o)

#22 surely you'll be listening in on-line though Frank? You do know how loyal the fans of this show are?

Enjoy your hols

DC

Getting ready to go out and feeling like a major stud,so...

Let's Get it On - Marvin Gaye
Drift Away - Dobie Gray

and then coming home alone and pissed off - with a bag of chips and / or rowies and milk!

And I forgot Nutbush City Limits - Ike and Tina Turner, this could go on all night, T-Rex, Mungo Jerry, Faces, great stuff.

Rowies?

Roll over Beethoven...

;-)

DC

#26

It's more of an Aberdeen thing...

#24

Now we begin to understand the antagonism Hoppo feels towards
Sir Michael Terence Wogan, K.B.E.

>8-D

We used to call them butteries.

#29

Me too!

#28 My antagonism towards wogan is due to his being a no talent wiggie t***, amongst other things. Funny as a dose of flu. His comments on rowies I ignore. Anyway,rowies, butteries, whatever, a dozen of them, a pint of milk and a walk home trying to hail a taxi at three in the morning. Add in platform boots (on one occasion both heels coming off, rather difficult to walk then)and bell bottoms flapping around your legs in a January storm - the memories come flooding back.

Apparently t**t is now failing the profanity filter - what is the world coming to? Maybe there is filter blocking criticism of wogan.

For today

How about the boss
Independence Day

or

Ashbury Park 4th of July

For jet lagged Norrie.

Still think a theme on songs mentioning specific dates would work

#34

Yeah, lots of songs about July 12th and Easter 1916

Speaking of which, anyone going to Hampden today, leave early if you have to cross the Clyde. Orange parade this evening, Broomielaw and Clyde Street.

#35

Damn, arranged to meet my parents (now living in Southron Pairts) @ Kelvingrove today, not realising that it was Care in the Community day for Knuckledraggers (and other unwelcome hangers on to what I'm assured is an entirely innocent event for an organisation that doesn't tolerate anti-social behaviour in any form. Apart from the singing of sectarian songs, loud sweariewords and wee-ing in the topiary, apparently)

Didn't realise until we got to University Avenue, by which time it was a bit late.

#36

Fair's fair; there were only 54 arrested. If they had not all been on the same side, there might have been trouble.

I salute their arrestability!
