´óÏó´«Ã½

WEDNESDAY

'We All Stand Together' - Paul McCartney & the Frogs Chorus

>8-D

David Bowie - Heros

Carmel and Johnny Hallyday - J'Oublierai Ton Nom

Camera Obscura - French Navy

Mozz - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris

John Cale - Half Past France

All of these are really great tracks. Carmel and Johnny would be a nice change and authentic for the theme!

Take me out an d F for Flog me. How could I forget

Tift Merrit - Mille Tendress


I know Jim will jump in and say they dont *have* to play anything but surely, surely....???

I'm not first again, am I? That's desperate. Unless by the time I type this out someone else has gotten in with a quickie. In which case, thanks for sparing my blushes.

French Night
A whole bunch of predictable (but worth a play, because they are incredible)
Edith Piaf
suggestions from me. Love her voice. A couple are my party pieces for when we have folks round and have a bit of a singsong with manny on the piano.
Sous Le Ciel De Paris
Les Feuilles Mortes (AKA Autumn Leaves - stunning)
L'Accordioniste
Padam, Padam

Also, one that got away earlier. Highly unlikely to be played because it's a bit suggestive (worth a try, non?). Plus, it's a classic.
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin Je T'Aime

Madeleine Peyroux's Cohen cover Dance Me To The End Of Time Someone else suggested this and it wasn't played - it's a cracker. And another of my party pieces.

Various others that are good for unrelated (apart from Frenchness) reasons:

Charles Aznavour She

Plastic Bertrand Ça plane pour moi

Adam and the Ants Young Parisians has been requested by others before, it's one of their better earlier songs that never really get a play.

and if it isn't too much to ask for a German band on Bastille Day .....
Kraftewerk Tour de France

#3

Flog is a four-letter word.

WEDNESDAY

Okay, here's my real request...


'Hasta Mañana, Monsieur' - Sparks ~ PDB, BTW

Cherie - Billy Idol

Boulevard - Bowling for Soup

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters - Elton John (Honky Chateau)

Battersea Bardot - the Pearlfishers

and

Number One Friend - the Silencers, who were bigger by far in France than they ever were here

We raised our voices
Moi et toi special

And found high prices
C`mon mon petit godesse
Come dance with me

THURSDAY

GENIUS


'Talent is an Asset' - Sparks ~ Albert is smart; he's a gen i us

'There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bar Stewards' - Ian Dury

henri

Lovely selection of songs sung in French as accompanying CD to Bang Goes the Knighthood from The Divine Comedy. If you have it their version of Les Copians d'Abord is great fun.

G is for Gaie:

For my programme tomorrow I have decided that not being as famous and revered as Bob Dylan and Tom Petty I won't inflict on the listeners selections from my own record collection other than a few carefully chosen morsels. I realize that people would feel free to say 'man her taste's mince' whereas they'd not dream of saying so of ol' Bob or the mighty Tom. So in proper democratic fashion I've included some songs and bands that have been oft-requested on GIO.

the playlist then - GIO team, take a day off tomorrow:

Rebels - Tom Petty
Garcon ou un Fils - Gong
Cellar of Dreams - the Silencers
The Rest of the Night - Warren Zevon
Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Happy as I am - The Incredible String Band
American Dread - Dreadzone
Candlelight Sonata in F Major - Frankie Miller
Ship of Fools - Bob Seger
Puis Je - Kevin Ayers
Shine on You Crazy Diamond - David Gilmour in Gdansk
El Rayo X - David Lindley
Leave the Light On - Jeff Healey
Zoot Allures - Ensemble Ambrosius, Ere Lievonen, Frank Zappa
The Ocean Road - Runrig
God Shuffled His Feet - Crash Test Dummies
Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King
Knut - the Unwinding Hours
Sky Blue and Black - Jackson Browne
500 miles - the Proclaimers - kidding
Catfish Blues - Catfish Keith

#58 very thoughtful, and excellent, list.

Gaie,

A busker said to Fred MacAulay that Greenock folk were, in his vast experience of busking in Scottish towns and cities, the most generous by far.

Wur tee's oot.......
