´óÏó´«Ã½

C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran

Jive talkin' - Bee Gees

How about the best pop song ever recorded.....

Teenage Kicks by The Undertones...

That song could start any new prog!!

Easy:

'It's Saturday Night' - The Proclaimers

Hopefully (weather permitting)we will be on a weekend sailing trip to Dunbar, so give us a mention!

DC

How about Second Summer Of Love by Danny Wilson? It is a great cheery hit track, its a Scottish Bandand it talks about playing things on the Radio.

Saturday will be June 6th, 65 years since the beginning of Operation Overlord, the D-Day Normandy Landings.

I would like the show to reflect this, and I suggest

'A Day to Myself' - Clifford T. Ward

Probably more suitable for closing the show than opening it.

something for the weekend / divine comedy

well it is, isn't it?

#3

Help Ma Boab, it's the ghost of John Peel!

Why is Dennis Brown in his cot - has he been naughty?

Jumpin' In The Night - The Flamin' Groovies.

Who's the wee lassie wi' the gorgeous dress and the mental binz?

Sarah Greene

Really? She's older than I am! That photie must have been taken a long time ago.

GiO bloggers get together in the Volunteer Arms in Dunbar on Saturday then.

The festivities begin at 6 pm when Captain Ramius will deliver his celebrated lecture on "The Middle Eight"

Those who have not lost the will to live will gather in the bar for cocktails at 7 pm.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Dennis Brown is trapped in a two-dimensional prison at the back of the set. Sapphire and Steel have been assigned.

Bam! I, Prancer!!

#24
Two questions.
Are Jigsaw on the Wurlitzer?
Are you gonna pay my taxi fare across country?

If nobody is gonna agree on the first song played, is saturday night alright for fighting?

FIRST SATURDAY SONG

'Feels Like Home' - Bonnie Raitt, written by Randy Newman

If all else fails, you'll find it on the soundtrack of the movie 'Michael' starring John Travolta.



crawling git

#30

I think Randy Newman missed a trick here. He should have included bagpipes in the arrangement. Any of you musicians out there agree?

#29:

Got Saturday night fever again?


I'll add my support to the call for Teenage Kicks I think. ;)

Jules nr Dumfries

Saturday night songs, for no particular reason -

Get the Party Started , Pink
Listen to the Radio, Nanci Griffiths
In the Middle of Nowhere, Dusty Spingfiled
My first , My last, My everything, Barry White

Love to hear Second Summer of Love too.

Captain Raimus,

I've just checked out the inshore forecast for the Forth Saturday & Sunday. Looks like we're in for a Force 6 from the North East. Whilst the boat would cope with this, the swell height of 6' entering the harbour at Dunbar after mid-tide doesn't look too attractive and I don't want to risk bumping the keels all the way along the channel.

I won't be over this weekend it seems! Maybe next week....

Bryan, play Fleetwood Mac's 'Storm' for us on Saturday please!

DC

First record must be SuBo's rush relased Prince cover "Kiss"

That not a bit highbrow for this show?

;-)

DC

SATURDAY FIRST SONG

The best song to open any radio show is:

Do Anything You Wanna Do - Eddie and the Hot Rods.



#34 - DC, could you not leave your yoal outside the harbour and take the dinghy in?
You could re-enact the D Day landings for Scotch Git. Capt Ramius and Pablo would break out the slug guns and fire on you as you row in, make it more authentic. Norrie's JCB would make a good pretend tank while Roxy John could hurl half bricks from its big buckety thing.

Worth a thought.

It's got to be a Scottish band so it must be BCR and S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night.

#38 Agreed. Scottish and Setterday.

Rollers or the Proclaimers.

#37, leaving the boat in Bellhaven Bay is not a good idea in a 6' NE swell. She wouldn't be there when we surfaced on Sunday lunchtime

DC

#39 I meant to follow my last comment with:

"I believe you are very familiar with this situation Adam"...

;-)

DC

#38 & #39 Why does the band have to be Scottish???

Saturday, ok, maybe. Though when Barry Blue sang the line "It'll be alright, dancing on a Saturday night" he clearly never grew up in Scotland.

# 41 I rest my case

DC

#37 FOTCL

Brilliant!

#37 AFR you any idea how much it costs to run a JCB! I dont have time for such east coast shenanigans...got to keep the backhoe excavator (JCB) fully occupied to pay all my spelling fines.

Anyway I am on a new bit of machinery...pile driving! If it is good enough for the Boss in the Glory Days video!!

#44

Oo-er...

Eek hankies for JFE!! again!

Evening Bloggers - just to clarify things for you as I think there's some debate about what we're going to do with the Saturday show.......there are no planned tracks! We'll take the first track from the blog - after that we'll play whatever you want - could it be an impromptu theme, is there something you think we should have played during the week and didn't (ooops does this mean a flood of Billy, Tull and Springsteen requests!?) And is there something that would make your Saturday....
Happy Weekend to you all x

A flood of Springsteen requests! Whatever do you mean Miss Babs!!

I'm for some Tull and Rundgren, me! :-)

#47. 'Burlesque' - Family :0)

The daughter wants 'Waiting On The World To Change' by John Mayer.

#47 - All the more reason to choose `Do Anything You Wanna Do` Miss B.

#44 - Who had an album called Piledriver, Norrie?

AFR you trying to get me to admit I know a Quo album?

#51

Status Quo - not one of their finest...

#47, we have the producer of our national radio station (the most successful music show at that) blogging at 10.52 of an evening. Either Miss Babs is taking this REALLY seriously (and so might be considered for 'promotion' to Radio 2) or she is needing to get a life......

Just like the rest of us!!!

;-)

This sounds like an open invitation for REAL music!

OK, I request 'Jungleland' - Bruce Springsteen i.e. the entire song

And I won't be going to Dunbar, especially so I can listen to it........

DC (stormbound in Cellardyke)

Something Good - Utah Saints
Omaha - Counting Crows
After the Gold Rush - Neil Young
Throw Down The Sword - Wishbone Ash
Juno - Throwing Muses

#55

Thanks, Glen. I was beginning to feel like a lone voice in the wilderness.

Looking forward to the show. Wine is in the fridge, canapes ready......

#56

Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Broadsword calling... Whoop's sorry 'bout that... Overlord callin' Danny Boy, Overlord callin'

Panzer Division Destroyed - Budgie.

#57

Norrie - meat, cheese or caviar? And what type of wine? Do you have enough canapes for the listening personnel? ;-)

Jim - everything available, all welcome.
