I hope you enjoy the themes we've got lined up for this week's shows. As always we like getting your feedback so keep posting on the blog and let us know what you like or don't like about the show. Last week's Beatles covers show had a very positive reaction so we must do something along those lines sometime soon. Any suggestions?
Let's see what you come up with for this lot and don't forget Friday's Pigs might Fly slot for the artists who never get played on Get It On....
Monday
Tonight's show features the comeback kids. As Heaven 17 head out on the road once more we feature music from the artists who are back together again. Contenders on the comeback trail include the likes of Spandau Ballet or Blur, but I'm also keen to feature artists like Tina Turner who has had a second shot at fame - coincidentally it came courtesy of the guys from Heaven 17!
Tuesday
Put your hands together for tonight's theme....It's clapping songs so lets have your suggestions for the bands who love the sound of applause. From Jack and Diane to Tony Basil's Mickey....this is one show that everyone will be able to join in with...
Wednesday
Tonight, it's the songs you didn't really want to hear. What are the records that your mum and dad forced you to listen to? Perhaps it's the ones that you didn't appreciate back then, but now couldn't live without. Maybe the tracks that dad said would form part of your musical education or the songs your mum wanted you to love...
Mum and dad know always know best as you'll find out tonight...
Thursday
Get It On goes global tonight. Get the atlas out as I'll be travelling the world in the company of artists whose names could be found on a map. That could mean we start off in Stornaway, take a trip to Boston and a then a wee hurl around Europe. Will anyone suggest Paris Hilton though....
Here we go then with another week of Get It On themes. I'm trying to persuade Miss Babs to get me a guitarist in the studio for Tuesday's theme but she's not playing along with my demands. I might just have to get you to send me the chords for your suggestions and have a go myself. Mind you I did learn to play using Bert Weedon's book so I don't know how familiar I will be with today's pop riffs!
Monday
Tonight's show is a celebration of all things wee. Plenty of appropriate songs for this one. You could ask for Tiny Dancer to Short People or maybe Reet Petite. I would imagine that Little Boots and Heather Small will also feature on tonight's playlist...
Tuesday
I'm hoping we get lots of musicians getting in touch tonight to pass on their experience. That's because the theme is 'great songs to learn on the guitar'. What are the six string anthems that all would be Claptons should learn?
Wednesday
Real Gone Kid
Take on Me
Love Me Do
Young At Heart
Three word titles
That's tonight's theme
Thursday
50 years after The Silver Beetles came to Scotland we'll mark the occasion by returning to the theme of Beatles covers. We were out the door with suggestions last time so here's hoping there's still plenty left to suggest!
After last week's Rock of Ages we are back to the usual mix of themes for this week.
(Hurrah, chorused the bloggers!).I'm looking forward to reading your creative suggestion, especially for Monday's 'musical' theme. Feel free to let your imagination run riot...
Monday
Get It On goes to the musicals tonight. Whose songs would you like to see transformed into musical theatre? Abba, Queen and The Proclaimers have all had the big stage treatment but who is next? Could Meatloaf's epic ballads be belted out by Meryl Streep and Michael Ball or could Bob Dylan's back catalogue be the next West End hit?
Tuesday
Tonight's theme is all about the 'and thes'. Bryan A has suggested this theme of the singers who have their own backing bands. This could mean anything from Florence and the Machine to Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Wednesday
From the Beach Boys to Boyz 2 Men, tonight's show celebrates great harmonies. What songs contain the best harmonys and which is the most harmonious band in pop? Will you go for the Proclaimers and the brotherly love or perhaps Gram and Emmylou's work as a duet. If there's a harmony in your head then I want to hear about it...
Thursday
Please have some tissues standing by for tonight's Get It On. Tonight we feature two hours of music from the artists who turned on the waterworks to get into the charts. Could be Elvis letting loose in church, Prince and his tearful birds or maybe we'll find out why Roy Orbison was so upset.
