last one - mentions a good few body parts:

Red Dwarf Tongue Tied
When I saw you for the first time
My KNEES began to quiver
And I got a funny feeling
In my KIDNEYS and my LIVER
My HANDS they started shakin'
My HEART began a-thumpin'
etc.

You've reminded me, mary-doll:

Here I Stand Before Me - Crash Test Dummies

My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X ray
Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day
The room was dark and my skeleton was floating on the wall
My voice trembles down inside me
I'm trapped way down in my body

I, I, I, oh here I stand before me
But something's out of place here
My mind's eye is missing from my body
Well I know it's there but I can't see where

Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean to me?
You can easily look them up in the dictionary:
They call them digits, or technically they're known as the "philanges"
My joints connected up inside me
Way down deep inside my body

My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body
My vital organs just churn away inside me
Some day they're going to stop this motion
And I'll be left with...

My my, the future lay before me
Hey hey, deep inside my body

and it's a good wee tune too

Norrie "Furnace" MacLean is sure to agree. Indeed, he'll be stamping his feet in frustration at not having asked for it first.


'Please Don't Bury Me' - John Prine


You want body parts? (In no particular order) Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, brain, head, arms, heart, stomach, knees, feet.

All that and it's a fine song! I commend it to the House.

AC/DC - Shake A Leg

Teddy Thompson - In YOur Arms

Mozz - Something Is Squuzing My Skull

Danny and The Champions of The World - Restless Feet

Pretenders - Another Night In My Veins

must be near a full body now.....

THURSDAY

A theme for all the bloggers! (Including myself).


CHARACTER FLAWS


>8-D

'Suedehead' - Morrissey
'Phantom Limb' - The Shins

#13 Good one! Ozzie will be played in a loop then!

I was thinking of Cooking and Catering..... ;o)
or Colours. or Cars. or Clothes. or Catchphrases.

or (they mentioned it would have been good for tonight, A for Alzheimers)
CAN'T remember what that band was, but this song was great!
Don't see that last one working with the blog - unless it's a good excuse to appear ignorant and sneak some pigs in on the fly.

C THEME

Chalk & Cheese: 2 songs you love that couldn't be more different from each other...

Cheap at half the price: It's a phrase that doesn't really make sense (surely should be cheap at twice the price) but...something that's been discussed recently on GIO...records you bought from the bargain bin but would have gladly paid more for because they're so good.

This Charming Man (or woman): songs by smoothies...'I'm a wonderful thing baby', 'Heaven must be missing an angel'.

Can't Hold A Candle: Songs about falling short of the ideal...'She's Not You' - Elvis.

Kasabian -- Club Foot

Perfect Skin -- Lloyd Cole

The Skids - Of One Skin

THURSDAY

CHUTZPAH!

Tuesday

where do I begin....vast theme for one show - so we're in for a deluge of requests - mostly for mainstream well known things. So, here's a small bundle of less obvious tracks for Tuesday - given more in hope than expectation, but I'd be chuffed to hear one of these played.


Give Me Back My Heart - Lyle Lovett

great fun

In My Arms - Mylo

One of Glasgow's finest dance acts, a tribute to Bonnie Tyler

Little Head - John Hiatt

great track from a much under appreciated songwriter

Love Rears Up It's Ugly Head - Living Colour

anti - romantic and almost ridiculous: great tune, well played

Heartquake - Jack Bruce

We won't be hearing this, but, by God, does it deserve to be heard.World Class, Scotland's finest.

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

the move to 'world' music suited Peter, great track form 'So'

3 Legs - Paul McCartney

Edith played some less obvious McCartney the other week, here's a theme fitting track of Paul effortlessly goofing about with country rock/blues

Knocks Me Off My Feet - Stevie Wonder

this should be given out on the national health, beautiful.

You Done My Brain In - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

great fun: though surprisingly conventional musically, so, easy to play on GIO

Your Hands - Sunscreem

never heard this? you'll never forget it, great dance track, just the best

Fearless Heart - Steve Earle

the finest track on 'Guitar Town', and therefore, very fine indeed

Broken Heart - Spirtualized

Haunting,intriguing and magnificent, but slightly too long for GIO, I expect, on what will be a massively busy night. maybe Friday?

Only Love Can Break Your Heart - St Etienne

K D Lang is hardly unique in realising that Neil Young's delivery sometimes disguises how mainstream and adaptable his songs are:yes,incredibly, you can dance round the kitchen to this one

My Hand Over My Heart - Marc Almond

Literally the most appropriate title for the theme:Always had a sneaking admiration and hidden enjoyment of gay disco music? You'll never hear anything camper that this (except, maybe, Jackie).Utterly over the top, but very, very good. Melodic,Fantastic production Radio friendly

Heartache Ave The Maisonettes

great pop, top notch happy teatime music

The Heart Remains A Child - Everything But The Girl

separated, with divorce looming, I took possession of a copy of this band's album 'Walking Wounded' which seemed kinda fitting.Clever track, which seemed to sum up the times I was living through.Radio friendly, the public will enjoy it.

As I say, I would be more than chuffed to hear any of these.

regardez youse

henri.

Just been watchin Imagine on Tom Woodward so have to go for:

Sex Bum

DC

Actually my real list for Wednesday:

Shape of things to come - Headboys

DC

#23

eh.. I meant Wednesday

regardez youse

henri

Roland The Headless Thomson Gunner - Warren Zevon
Two Heads - Jefferson Airplane - For balance

Wednesday:

Shape Of My Heart: Sting (Best thing Sting ever did in my humble opinion)
36D: The Beautiful South (Well, it is about a body part, or more precisely, parts)
These Arms of Mine: Otis Redding (a soul classic and then some)
Roots: Show Of Hands (Never heard these guys on GIO, but we should have)

Thursday Theme:
Compass points: (ie N, E, S, W) yes, done before I know, but so much mileage!

M

THURSDAY C

Circuses, Carnivals and Carousels: Send in the Clowns, Tightrope, Trapeze, Fairground Attraction etc

Career options: We Are Scientists; Please Mr Postman, Doctor my Eyes etc

Celtic Connections comes to mind, but not sure how you'd define it - just 'from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man and Brittany' leaves it too open to The Proclaimers and U2 etc. Probably too vague.

Concept albums

Thursday - Canadian Artists

Plenty to choose from (Martha and the Muffins; Avril Lavigne; Jane Sibery: Nelly Furtado; Neil Young; Alanis Morisette; Gordon Lightfoot; Men Without Hats; Barenaked Ladies; Cowboy Junkies; Blood Sweat and Tears; Arcade Fire; Feist; Prairie Oyster; Joni Mitchell; The Band; Johnny Kid and the Pirates; Crash Test Dummies; kd lang; Paul Anka; Bedouin Sounclash; Shania Twain; Leonard Cohen ..... but not Nickleback, Celine Dion or Michael Buble for me, thanks).

Or you could do 'Canadian or American?' - playing one track by a Canadian artist followed by one from an artist from the USA (plenty more choice there!)

#30 - andy - you forgot William Shatner. Shame on you!

;o)

#31 Senga - I wanted to leave some good ones for others to suggest!

#31 - andy - I see you replied on the other thread.


Theme suggestion for Thursday


Has to be Confusion

I blame andy.

;o)

#32 - Now I'm really confused! LOL

;o)

For Wednesday - Sexy Eyes - Dr. Hook



Theme suggestion for Thursday

My real suggestion is Chance or Fate or Destiny.

:o)

#32 Senga - Tomorrow's theme will need to be Confessions! I'm sorry - all these different blogs are doing my head in. I can't even work out whether I'm meant to be suggesting songs or themes.

:0)

Artists with body parts in their names (you might want to be careful about using the last one on air, Bryan!):

Talking Heads - This Must be the Place
Elbow - August and September
Dick Gaughan - The Snows They Melt the Soonest

#23
I agree Henri.We should have more of John Hiatt.'Through Your Hands' would also fit the bill for tonight.

#37 - andy - At least he's not Little Richard!


You've reminded me of one time I was being chatted up in a pub. (It used to happen!) When I said I didn't have a romantic bone in my body this silver-tongued cavalier said "Would you like one?"

;o)

Body parts:
Radiohead - My Iron Lung

Don't Be A Tummy - Gary Numan
I Gut You Babe - Sonny & Cher
Life On Mars? - David Bowel
Say You Don't Mind - Colon Blunstone

#42 is that the sound of you scraping the bottom of the barrel? ;o)

Half Man Half Biscuit - "Restless Legs"
Blue Oyster Cult - "Harvester of Eyes"
Syd Barrett - "Golden Hair"
The Real Thing "You Tummy Are Everything"

#39 What a charming man!

#23 I disagree. Someday.

Who am I to argue with the man who turned me onto Steve Earle?

Truth is, on Guitar Town,they're all excellent.

Can't tell the Bottom From the Top - the Hollies
Tibia or not Tibea - BA Robertson
You're So Vein - Carly Simon
Bright Eyes Artery Garf-ankle

DUODENUM from LUMPY GRAVY by FRANK ZAPPA AND THE ABNUCEALS EMUUKHA ELECTRIC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS - ha ha!

Bien sur, Henri!, nous avons des billets pour LE TOUR DE FRANK!

Regardez nouse

Oops should read WHO as opposed to EHO

Been busy watching football and tennis so have been absent for a while. For tonight;

In My Arms - Teddy Thompson
Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen
Doctor mY Eyes - Jackson Browne

and there is of course an AC/DC track that might fit - but you won't be playing it.

#50

football? tennis? instead of GIO?

Good to have you back, Hoppo.

#47

You're really getting the hang of it.

I suppose The Hollies' Hey Willy is out of the question.

#52 nor likely Willy and the Hand Jive by Slowhand or anything by the Memphis Jug band?

Allow me to record my dissent to the casual dismissal of Heads Hands and Feet's Warming Up the Band.
