'Bouncing Babies' - The Teardrop Explodes

'I Can't Get Bouncing Babies By The Teardrop Explodes' - The Freshies

Well here is the next flying pig challenge:

Suicide - Dream Baby Dream

or the slightly easier Boss version (which you have as Ricky Ross has played it)

and since you said the theme I have had:

Ronettes - Be My Baby

in my head.

MONDAY

Flying Pig Again:-

Three Babies - Sinead O'Connor, my favourite track from "I Do Not Want..."

Mrs Paul suggests:-

Baby Love - Supremes

See my baby jive - Wizzard


It has to be the best baby song!

Not that I appreciate the over rated dross of Dave Gilmour L.O.L.

'Billion Dollar Babies' - Alice Cooper

also
Hey Baby - Bruce Chanel
Just Got Back from Baby's - ZZ Top
Baby, Now That I've Found You - Alison Krauss and Union Station

TUESDAY

Big Mistake - Natalie Imbruglia
resisting the impulse (just) to suggest that AC/DC track again

THURSDAY
Angel Dream (no.2)
or A Woman in Love (It's Not me) - Tom Petty
it would be nice to have some TP, and Angel Dream is maybe not what everyone would expect

darn, forgot to sign myself off:

one or two others
:-{

#6

Hmmmmm erlando....

No

Baby Drives Me Crazy - Thin Lizzy

?

Slip up there was it not? (And thanks to Scholes there wasn`t another one today)

MONDAY: 1970s cheese request...'Gee Baby' - Peter Shelley.

Monday: Don McLean - Wonderful Baby' Twee in the extreme but I like it!

Monday:

Four Tops - Baby I Need Your Loving

The Daughter would never forgive me if I didn't mention (the fresh-faced Canadian teen singing sensation) Justin Bieber (featuring Ludacris) singing 'Baby' for Monday :o)

#15 Nae slip up Adam, Baby Drives Me Crazy was the 1st song that came to mind when i read the themes and there's more babies from Lizzy, musta been a favourite term of endearment for Phil . That wee list earlier was just muckin' around.

MONDAY;

Baby Please Don't Go - Thin Lizzy
Baby Drives Me Crazy - Yhin Lizzy
Baby Face - Thin Lizzy
Too Busy Thinking About My Baby - Marvin Gaye or The Temptations
Baby Driver - Simon & Garfunkel
Baby I Love You - Ramones
Don't Call Me Baby - Voice Of The Beehive

The last is one of my all time favourites and I've never quite worked out why }:[

Oh and 2nds for Gaie - Sugar Baby Love , & DC - See My Baby Jive

"Yhin Lizzy" is the Fife based tribute band of the great Irish rockers incase ye didnae ken. The singers brother sings in a tribute band to a seminal Mancunian boy band, it's called - "Take Yon"

It's Monday, Baby

Don't Worry, Baby - The Beach Boys

Everyone thinks God Only Knows is the masterpiece, but listen to this carefully - the singing is as good as the finest opera.

Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles

John at his inventive and cynical best, the band at their most together,CD version tags McCartney snippet on the end of this track rather than Revolution 9. nice song, deserves to be better known

Take Good Care of My Baby - Bobby Vee

supposedly a simple pop song, but with tragic overtones. Nuff said.

I See You Baby - Fat Boy Slim Remix - Groove Armada

great fun

Stick With Me Baby - Robert Plant/Alison Krauss

beginning to get back into this again

Here Comes My Baby - The Tremeloes

there's a rerecorded version of this which is a huge improvement on the lousy original (the bass is so badly mixed it distorts on amplification) - but a great number, miserable lyric.

regardez youse

Henri

and having watched the very excellent Roy Orbison and Friends on Sky Arts - time to catch it again tomorrow 4.55pm -
Dream Baby - Roy Orbison

Tuesday....hmmm

Waht A Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers

it seems incredible to me now, but, this was playing when I got engaged and it turned out to be completely appropriate. Still, I've got the kids to show for it, and I've never let my negative neuro - associations spoil my enjoyment of a truly great number - it was long ago and far away - Let's Get It On.

regardez youse

Henri

Just got to next week's themes. Thinking cap on, but my immediate reaction is that Trisha Yearwood's "Believe me baby (I lied)" works for every day except Wednesday.

More to follow.

Doubt I would want to marry again but, if I should change my mind when I'm, say, 85, I think I'd like my 23 year old husband and I to shuffle round my zimmer to:

'Someone Like You' by Van Morrison ;o)

#13 #20 #41
sugar baby love just won the 445 at leopardstown @ 10/1. hope you were all on.

#44
that is a particular fav of mine. When I reach 23 I will give you a call.

Have tried before to get it on so hope you're lucky.

#45

Had your comment been posted at 16:12 instead of 17:12 I would have been mightily impressed.

>8-D


I'm struggling for Tuesday. I can't decide whether to go with bitter resentment or magnanimity. Decisions, decisions...

bitter resentment - more entertaining suggestions and there'll be loads of sugar on the night anyway :0)

Am I the only happily married man on this blog?

#50

I don't know, DC, it's something you'll need to properly discuss with Mrs DC and if you find there's continuing doubt about it, apparently there's something called Relate that can help put your mind at rest.It's a dangerous path to go down though - once you start asking yourself these kind of questions, you just don't know where it might end.

But we're all here for you.

Otherwise the silence is deafening: no one else is owning up....

#49 Probably, and if yopu are then we are all jealous.

Obviously I meany "you" as opposed to "yopu".

PS Seconding Be My Baby by The Ronettes as used in the opening to "Mean Streets" and is just a wonderful song - madman Phil at his best.

And forgot to do the requests (nb much drink less wine!!!)

Don't Worry Baby - Beach Boys
Cry Like a Babay - Box Tops
Baby You're a Rich Man - Beatles
Rock and Roll Baby - Stylistics
Baby Come Back - Equals
Baby Jump - Mungo Jerry

And that will do, until the brain is a little more sober - and you have no idea how difficult it has been to type all this!!!

Julie, Paolo - it's a great track but from the same album I'm going to suggest "the mystery",although this of course refers to a commitment to a higher companion.

#49, Me, I am!! I'm just tryin to decide whether to post a list or put all my eggs in the one basket as it were. I'm edging toward one basket incase you're interested

I take it you're referring to songs as opposed to wives erlando?

:-0

Thanks for the advice henri. I'll file that under "for my eyes only" for the time being....!!!

DC

#37 - Norrie - thanks; slipped my mind.
#49/55 - DC - married + happy (but a few years short of 30. Congratulations. I believe pearls are the traditional gift)

Wednesday:

Mack the knife - Louis Armstrong
Kiss and say goodbye - the Manhattans

Joe
Linlithgow

Monday: Baby

Baby, It's You: The Shirelles
Baby I Need Your Lovin': The Four Tops
Sweet Baby James: James Taylor

A great song from a stunning album (you would not have thought of a Brian Eno / Paul simon collaboration) which really is about the aouthors baby:

"I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
That loved his daughter more than I love you"

Father and Daughter - Paul Simon

We never did get married but that doesn't mean I hate him any less. Not that I would resort to I'm a good girl!

SOME DAY BABY from MODERN TIMES by BOB DYLAN

BABY SNAKES from BABY SNAKES by FRANK ZAPPA

Excellent choices Cynthia.

I would also add

EMPTY POCKET BLUES from THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND by THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND

IT’S YOU AND ME BABY from ROBOT WOMAN III by MOTHER GONG

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

Bryan and Babs

Could you not take down that hideous photograph of the Rollers and replace it with the cover of Pink Flotd's 'Animals' cover - the one with the pig floating over Battersea Power Station?

It surely has to be the most potent symbol of our blog?

regardez vous

Bob

Bob?

Any pig that "Flotd" could be called Bob....

#73/74

touch of Norritis there right enough. I quite like the idea of being Bob - it would make my name completely palendromic and it's another identity to add onto my many others -(I don't understand how anyone could think I was JfE though). Besides, surprisingly, the blog doesn't have a Bob - I'll get bored with it soon enough.

Monday

My Baby just cares for me - Nina Simone and I'll back all the others who requested Billion Dollar Babies.

#72 - Guard slipped a bit there HH.

One For My Baby - Robbie Williams
Sugar Mountain Babies - The Pearlfishers

a) Bob Morton
b) Bob Dylan
c) Bob the Builder
d) Shellsuit Bob
e) Rab C Nesbitt

Answers on the back of a tenner please to the usual address!

How about Skye / Runrig

for baby Skye born today.

Proud parents Stef and Kirsty insist she is named after the island and not the tv company. Congrats n at from uncle PP

#80

Surely that's a rhetorical question.

When was it decided that 'baby' had to actually be in the song title? Annoying.

Wish they'd make up their minds...nothing in the theme explanation here to say that requests must have the word Baby in the song title!!!

#83

It's clearly stated in the guidelines that 'Baby' must be in the title.

Did they say they wont play anything that does not have "Baby" in the title? I must have missed that. Seems odd.

Ok

Paul McCartney - No Other Baby

this is brilliant. The late Mick Green and a certain Mr Gilmour on guitars.

#84

It's a load of nappies.

#86 Well, maybe I misundertood but was that not the reason for not considering the Ace Of Base song? Oh well, maybe I'm just irritable having had to wait about 4 months for a bus which was full of dogs and BO...and now I've burned the carrots cos I'm writing this!!!

88

It's just been confirmed from the guidelines (on air) that it's Baby in the title.This hasn't been confirmed by Jim From Erskine, however, so the Producer has doubtless misinterpreted the rules.

I shall take up the cudgels on behalf of your carrots, with the Producer and Jim from Erskine for a definitive ruling.

Incidentally, and this is really important. We couldn't be bothered cooking this evening, so the morons have heated up some pizzas.

Maybe the underlying problem was deciding to cook the carrots in the first place.I've never understood how that lot can text/facebook and cook at the same time.

But, tonight, I feel like a vox pop texter.

JfE/Babs

Julie has just burnt the carrots complaining about a lack of clarity in the guidelines.

Accepting that no one should cook carrots during GIO, what do you have to say for yourselves?

#72

Ah, hello there Bob, you young roister-doister, you. You look a likely sort of lad for tricks and sports and all sorts of jolly, rosy cheap capering, eh? Of course you do, and more besides, I warrant thee, young scamp!

Does Mad Mac have Bryan's ear?

HH (help ma Boab), your toys really are thrown oot the pram tonight! What is that thing given to babies to soothe them ?

Careful HH or people will talk down to YOU in SHOUT again!

OI! :-)

#93

No worries, the toys are still here - now that I understand the guidelines, my request got played at the start of the show!

I'm utterly serene. Never been better.

It was a hot and spicy pizza, my favourite, though due to the diet I only ate a fraction of it.

#96

I usually go for the percentage, myself. 100%.

The Lorraine Ellison song is called 'Stay With Me'...a baby-free title...oops! Love the song though :o)

#98

well spotted... I think that a 1lb of carrots the GIO team owe you...

HH. I'm not really bothered anymore...and, as it turned ou, the carrots, which I was glazing, actually benefited from being slightly caramelised...yum!
