BRING ME THE HEX OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Another opportunity to hear the great one hit wonder that is

Magic Smile - Rosie Vela

In reality, made by the folks from Steely Dan...maybe that's what brought on the magic smile.Later became Jeff Lynne's partner and did gigging with ELO, think.

More to follow

regardez youse

TUESDAY

'A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End' -

Don't listen to him

I think the following records are "magic", don't you? Playing these would "do the trick" for music lovers everywhere.

A Kind of Magic - Queen
Do You Believe in Magic? - Lovin' Spoonful
Magic - Pilot
Magic Moments - Perry Como
Magic Bus - The Who
Strange Magic - ELO
Could It Be Magic - Barry Manilow
That Old Black Magic - Sammy Davis
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - Police
Black Magic Woman - Santana
You Can Do Magic - Limmie and the Family Cookin
Anything by Rod Stewart or The Eurythmics

well, that's that theme done.

what'll we do now?

More of the mediocre magic show,

The Magic Number / De La Soul
White Rabbit / T. Damned
Peek A Boo / DEVO
Voodoo People / T. Prodigy
It Must Be Magic / Teena Marie

as suggested by the Laughing Gnome...

#2 Are you sure it's not just 'cause she's hot, henri?
I'm not going to request the Queen song here. I don't like it.
Some I do like and highly recommend:

Steve Miller Band Abracadabra
Might have done for the Lust theme tonight, too. Just got carried away with other stuff and forgot it. No excuse. Incredible song.

Peter Skellern You're A Lady
It includes the lyric "You're pure magic". However tenuous, it works. It's a fantastic song. He's been played once before in recent memory. Other artists have been played time and again. This is class and brass.

ELO Turn To Stone Magic AND Medusa at work here.

#3 sounds like your typical orifice working environment.

M for Magic..


La Roux -- As if by Magic

INXS -- Disappear

Kris Kristofferson -- Me and Debbie McGhee

#5

We could second guess what the next month long theme from the little "black" book is going to be....

Wonder if Vic realises he's been tasked with it's upkeep! "Just keep them simple an' straightforward!"

Magical Mystery Tour would be a great way to start a magic show.
Pinball Wizard would fit nicely too, as would "See my baby jive" (by Wizzard.)

Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
I Put a Spell on You - Joe Cocker
Enchantment - Corinne Bailey Rae
Angel Fingers - Wizzard
Witch Queen of New Orleans - Redbone
Love Potion No 9 - The SearcherS

Oh - and
Strange Brew - Cream

#12 Great list! Love Joe Cocker, would prefer the Nina Simone version of I Put A Spell On You. If only because she's a wee bit guttsier. His version is still incredible. Actually don't mind which version GETS PLAYED. ;o)

#9

FOTCL!

'Take My Breath Away' - Merlin

>8-D

what is magic? nothing but a load of hokus pokus and
Cheap Trick s I Want You To Want Me

time for a bath
(this is now officially MY trademark sign-off, seeing as these things matter)

cheers, mary-doll!

I'd also love to hear Santana.

Theme from Hogwarts anyone?

And isn't it good to see Glen enjoying himself so much, throwing himself into the spirit of things.

#4, #17

He's gone for Bazza. Take that's bombed oot coz Robbie's crawling back...

TUESDAY

In order of preference;

'Baron Samedi' - 10cc

'Halloween' - Kirsty MacColl

'Witches Promise' - Jethro Tull

'Time the Magician' - Clifford T. Ward

'The Castleford Ladies Magic Circle' - Jake Thackray

WEDNESDAY

It's NOW or NEVER!

Happy to second Magic bus and Black magic woman and See my baby jive by Wizzard.

Other thoughts include:
Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (Live performances were sometimes prefaced with Nicks saying, "This is a song about an old Welsh witch)
Magic - Springsteen
Witchy woman - Eagles
I put a spell on you - Nina Simone
That old black magic - Sinatra
Could it be magic - Manly Barilow

Joe
Linlithgow

Tsk tsk cynics...
Great theme......

Second Joe on Magic by Springsteen, really good song sinking the boot into George W.

Magic and Loss - Lou Reed, from his album of the same name, Lou reflecting on the loss of his dear fried Doc Pomus. Lou reed's best album in my opinion.

Fortune Teller - Benny Spellman or the fantastic The Who studio version (or Live from Leeds version).

Bonnie Raitt - When The Spell Is Broken

Joe mentioned Stevie Nicks and she called het publishing company Welsh Witch Muisc, Rhioannon is of course a cracker but also

Enchanted - Stevie Nicks would be nice (but not sure if that counts for Magic)

Angel Fingers - Wizzard

or

Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac



Great list #21 BTW Joe.



Had a couple of pints with AfR tonight & he's wondering who's up for the meet-up in Edinburgh this Thursday.

DC

long time,no post....
Fleetwood Mac--"Hypnotized' from the album Mystery to Me

Hello Canada.

N is for Never

There are 180 or so hit singles with Never in the title and hit singles are what we like.

Well, I never!

N for New Wave

Glen, you have scored One Hundred and Eighty!

Wee arra peepil!

#27

NEVER!

#23

Details?

We should be telt!

All this user's posts have been removed.Why?

Had Magic fairly recently which is a wee bit disappointing considering the variety of themes suggested.

Anyways
Seconds for Angel Fingers / Wizzard...their finest choon.

You can do magic / America
The Flame / Cheap Trick
I Put a Spell on You / Jools Holland Dave Gilmour and Mica Paris
How do you do it / Gerry and the Pacemakers
Three is the magic number / Jack Johnson
Up in a puff of smoke / Polly Brown
Sweet Illusion / Junior Campbell

and a bit of northern soul
Your magic put a spell on me / LJ Johnson

All this user's posts have been removed.Why?

N is for News

Songs about real events that were newsworthy.




This would be better than the current hot favourite 'New' which has only appeared in the titles of 7,639,635,438,463,454,239 hit songs.

#23
i'm working in Dalkeith and Leith on thursday but have to be back home to bore my trivia junkies for 9 o'clock. Dare say I could fit in a quick coke! (other soft drinks are available)

TUESDAY

A perfect song with which to end the show. Altogether now,

'Izzy Wizzy Let's Get Busy!' -


I think we should ignore 'Sweep's Disappearing Bone Trick' and other cunning stunts...

#34

Name them.

Tonight's Rod Stewart song:

Pinball Wizard


Tonight's Eurythmics song:

She's Invisible Now

Meant to say good show last night Vic.

#35

A quick coke is no' tae be sniffed at.......

Tuesday

Voodoo Chile – Jimi Hendrix

if we had magic recently then it was probably played then. I can't remember half the themes we've already had I'm afraid

A novel idea for N:

N = Never before

Songs that have never been played on GIO

#30 & #35 I won't be there but I'll mail AfR & ask about his itinerary

#34 for the millionth time, don't exaggerate....

DC

N is for Never Again

Songs we never want to hear again e.g.

Baby It's Cold Outside - Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews

I think it's magic that the real heroes of the 2007 airport attack are finally getting honoured.

The ones who banned workplace smoking?

Very true. Where would we be today if it wasn't for someone outside having a fag, i mean being a hero!

I'm with DC on the Fleetwood Mac version of Black Magic Woman

Also:
* Cream - Strange Brew (seconding Gaie)
* Tull - Witches' Promise (seconding Mr Git)
* Donovan - Season of the Witch
* The Who - Magic Bus (rather than Pinball Wizard)
* Lee Marvin - Wand'rin Star
* U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing
* Barenaked Ladies - If I Had $1,000,000 it would be magic indeed.

Isaac Asimov said that sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from Magic, so
* Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me with Science

A bit of a stretch for GiO and over 7min long (although it's spot on theme):
* Fairport Convention: Tam Lin

#45 For our American friends "having a fag" - smoking a cigarette.

Mr Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne.
In The Morning of the Magicians - Flaming Lips.
Spanish Castle Magic - Jimi Hendrix.
Love Potion No. 9 - The Clovers.
Season of the Witch - Julie Driscoll.
Magic Moments - Perry Como.
Magick Brother - Gong.

For My Next Trick I'll Need A Volunteer - Warren Zevon
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
Scarlet Ribbons -The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
If My Nose Were Full of Nickels, I'd Blow It All On You - Dennis Warner Band

Ozzy Osbourne - haha.

Fred the Fish must have Gong his holidays.

N = Not the first song you think of - lesser-known songs from well-known bands

or N = Nearly famous - new bands and singers

C'mon, Uncle Vic - you could shake up the playlists a bit, a young avant-garde DJ like yourself.

#49 No he's in his usual plaice

Thirds for... Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf

#51 Whiting bay?

Yes.. doin' the conger.

With Marlin Monroe

Eel be sorry - he's left a good job as a piano tuna.

For cod's hake........

DC

he left to be a bass player in a rock salmon band

I heard he's a big prawn star

I have their first single - Salmonchanted Eveling.

N is for nothing - no, nadda, not, never, nihilist.
Bit too optimistic to expect it to get picked.

i really enjoyed 'A Guy Called Gerald' -I'd never heard that before.

N= things you'd never heard before GIO (mind you, we wouldn't get two hours out of that)

#62 that's a bit cryptic, henri. or am I just being a N is for numptie? ;o)

Vic,

this just gets better and better: keep up the good work.Another of Paulo's soul classics I wasn't familiar with.

thanks

henri

Getting in an early one for W. Words (Don't Come Easy). Best piece of advice I ever heard.

never mind W, what's N? I missed the last part of the show

New York,doll.

Oh.

New York Groove - Hello

DC

#69 DC - you've been away for a bit. They're posting a new thread for each night. Save it for the new one, it'll just get lost otherwise. ;o)

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Hanging's too good for him.

Burn the witch.

Being moderated is his new favourite hobby, replacing baiting innocent Mozz fans....

It was one of the most explicit goal celebrations I've ever seen

#71
damn missed it.
Must say Vics shows have been good this week. Not afraid to play the odd song that would normally be binned.

Yes he's a bit more adventurous.
