You'll no get away with that big man... it'll be gone in 5-4-3-2

Here is my attempt at best part of a:

Counting Crows - Round Here

set yourself steady on the

Booker T(ee) and The MG鈥檚 - Time Is Tight

and hope for a good

Springsteen - Drive All Night

with a nice land on the

Van & The Chieftains - And She Moved Through The Fair(way)

keeping out of the nasty

Springsteen - Sandy

bunker and a

Hot Chip - I Feel Bonnie

on to the

Jam - Pretty Green

leaves you

Bowie - Cat people (Putting Out Fire)

for a

Bonnie Prince Billy - One With The Bird(ie)s

And trying to avoid

Eddi Floyd - Raise Your Hand(icap)

And certainly a refreshment in the

Associates - Country Club(house)

will be well earned.

Drive -Bobby McFerrin

# 8 shsh. It's funny! Bookmarking it just in case....

Loved that French theme tonight! Don't know what the fuss about St Etienne is, always sounds slightly out of tune to me. No matter. My taste in music is sometimes hard to fathom, too.

Golf theme? Immediate horrible thought was the Birdie Song (can't be bothered to check who it was by). Forget it.
Golfing "terms" thanks to another website full of golfing terms.
The "Eagle"s Desperado Don't usually like to request something twice, but - hohum.
Rod Stewart The First "Cut" Is The Deepest
Meatloaf and Cher "Dead"ringer For Love
The Cars "Drive"
Metallica "Fade" To Black
Led Zeppelin "Fairway" To Heaven
Tom Jones "Green" Green Grass
Richard Marx "Hazard"
Dr "Hook" Sylvia's Mother
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Perfect "Skin"
James "Sit" Down
Beatles Norwegian "Wood"
Mud "Tiger" Feet Seems like he played his best when he played away. Silly boy.

would like to request Lonely Island (featuring "T" Pain) I'm On A Boat , but can't see it getting played (if that's not mixing up the sensory allusions too much already). Even the clean version sounds sweary. Pity. It's fun. If you like that sort of thing.

Love Is All A Round - Wedge Presley & The Troggs
A Little Bit More - Dr. Hook
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Gimme Little Sign - Brenton Wood
I Can't Let Go - Chip Taylor
Papa's Got A Brand New Bag - James Brown

Theme from Shaft - Isaac Hayes.

2nd for Golf Girl by Caravan

Never be Ernie Els but You Fore Me - Ricky Nelson

Angel From Montgomerie _ John Prine and Bonnie Raitt

Looks like we rely on Scotch far more than he gets credit for.......

H is for "Hello?" Ironic or just blissfully optimistic.
H is for "How did that happen?" (when a song you never expected to get a play, got played. Or the opposite) Or just about lovely times something nice happened.
H is for "Holidays" - the little pockets of sanity that you only get 5 weeks a year, if you're lucky. 13 weeks, if you're a teacher. Even then, you only enjoy a third of them. If you're lucky.
H is for "hey, you - get off of my cloud!" A wee note to those who think you're unbearably smug. Not many people try to think inside other people's lives. It's easier to look at the upsides (when it's not themselves) and imagine that that is all there's to it. Stuff that. If you've done something you're proud of and want to shout it out even if you know there are naysayers - tonight's the night.

not very catchy, is it?

Ach, well.

Waiting for "N" night - NO.

Hit me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar

Su-Monty Love - Grace Jones
Arnie I'm not Your Caddie - Kid Creole and the Coconuts
Me and Bobby Jones - Michael Buble
Rescue Iron - Fontella Bass

Andy you're a star ~ T. Killers

Open, St. Andrews, home of etc. Christ, it's all as boring as the game itself!

#21

Mary-Doll,

Don't rely on Scotch. Give quality Tennessee sour mash whiskey a try!


#16

Norrie,

Yeah, fits the theme. Howzabout 'This is the Gemme' ? Feel free to overrule me if you think of something better.

Bob Weir's album 'Ace' - Yes!

I'd completely forgotten about that.I know zilch about Golf but I do know that track 1 on this album is a stoater.

The Greatest Story Ever Told - Bob Weir

regardez youse

henri

What a brilliant load of compilations!

and Fred, Norrie, meant to say thanks for the nice comments on last thread. Scotch, I'm seriously thinking of the busking thing next month - I don't sing (except in my car) or play a portable imstrument - do you think I can make this work?

H = Horse and Hound,
a magazine which makes me wonder how I've been around horses all my life, but clearly in a completely different universe.
Never mind, plenty to choose from:
Foals, Band of Horses, Horse, The National, Palomino Faith, Chestnut mare, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (either just jumped on cowboy style or about to fall off), Bow Wow Wow, 3 Dog Night, Black Dog, Walking with my Cat Named Dog, etc etc

#23 - madmac - Thank you for saying what I and I suspect a few others are thinking. Today has started badly and shows no sign of improvement. I will not suffer alone!


For Thursday - The Birdie Song - Tweets

:8)


Oh come on! It's not as if they'll actually play it!!

G is for Golf

Baby Driver - Simon & Garfunkel
Running Free - Iron Maiden
Drive - The Cars
You Spin Me Right Round(Like a Record) - Dead or Alive
I Love to Play - Jake Trout & the Flounders (also known as Peter Jacobsen, Mark Lye and the late, great Payne Stewart)

#25 Peaches & Herb, Toni Basil ...

Thursday: Golf

A few Woods appearing I see... now is this a 'Tiger' link or is it a reference to the club (for the benefit of non-golf enthusiast, a 'wood' was the term given to a club now know more commonly as a 'driver' since they are nearly all made of titanium now and not wood)... but I digress.

Regardless, I would love to hear an artist I don't think we have heard on GIO;

Chris Wood playing the wonderfully crafted 'The Cottager's Reply'.... I don't think you'll be disappointed!

M

Golf - no getting away from it!
Day off today 鈥� supposed to be painting the kitchen 鈥� but having yet another coffee for inspiration and constant mention of the golf on the radio is distracting me! So here鈥檚 my list of golf songs:
鈥淪traighten up and Fly Right鈥� Lyall Lovett
鈥淥cean Drive鈥� LightHouse Family

For all the runners up
鈥済et it right next time鈥� Gerry Rafferty

When it goes all wrong
鈥淏eatin around de bush鈥� Hugh Masekela
Or 鈥渁 soft place to fall鈥� Alison Moorer
Or 鈥渢he long way round鈥� The Dixie Chicks
Or Burn鈥� Deep Purple

Any number of rain related tracks
But what about 鈥淚 can鈥檛 stand the rain鈥�? You choose from the many versions
Or for the many crimes against fashion and good taste!
鈥淪harp dressed man鈥� ZZ Top
But maybe not their 鈥淲oke up with Wood鈥�!!!

鈥淒ouble Bogey Blues鈥� from the sound track of Tin Cup (an old Kevin Costner film where he plays a golf pro who has lost it till the sexy lady doctor (Renee Rousso) sorts his inner game out!)

This is addictive, could be no end to this 鈥� got to do and break out the sandpaper!

#48 - FtF, I say this without checking out the playlist for French night last night, but there is absolutely no chance of getting Gong - or anything Gong related - played on GIO.

Bryan & co - you might like to regard that as a challenge? ;-)

Have just checked, and I was right...

GOLF:

Less Than Zero - Elvis Costello

I can't take credit for this as I heard it on a show several months ago...

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Please

Because that's a round.

#52 & #53 Harry

Perseverence and a groundswell of support from the blog got Frank Zappa played for GreggaryPeccary and The Incredible String Band played for StoneMonkey, albeit grudgingly and without recognition, so you never know.

It鈥檚 a cracker of a challenge though, eh?

H is for Here Today Gong Tomorrow

G - GOLF

Mr. Babs should be on the show today as the golf expert.

Another Niblick in the Wall - Ping Floyd

#46...about 15 years ago, woods included the driver plus 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and even nine woods. Nobody really calls a driver a wood anymore. However, most golfers refer to the other clubs formerly called woods as woods. Some really fussy golf commentators insist on calling today's woods, "metals" as in "Elin just harpooned Tiger's windshield with his three metal; I hope the club is OK; he'll need that for the second shot on the 15th at Augusta."

My three wood has no wood but I'm calling it a three wood until my soon-to-be-ex-wife helicopters it over the back fence. I'm not sure what I'll do then.

Probably purchase the latest three wood.

I hope this clarifies everything.

#63 clear as Tigerfeet

#56 - Fred, perserverance (and very little groundswell of support I would have to admit) have got me nowhere with Half Man Half Biscuit, I would have to say; however ...

"My Baby Got the Yips" by the aforesaid HMHB;
"24-Hour Garage People" ditto (reference to body being found on the golf course);
and yet another backing for Caravan's "Golf Girl"

Thankfully, I don't think JLS have a golf-related song (mumble, grump, bah...)

Theme suggestion for Monday


I'll go with Gaie - #41 - Horses and Hounds - Better than anything I can come up with today. Thank God it's almost over!

;o)

I don't want to tempt fate but I can't think of any Smiths songs for the golf theme.
Except...perhaps...

Girlfriend in a Bunker
Bigmouth Strikes Again

This should guarantee a Smiths-free show.

Hand In (golfing) Glove - the Smiths

H is for Handicap - Artistes with disabilities - Ian Dury, Rick Allen of Def Leppard, Stevie Wonder, Paul Stanley (Kiss), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Django Reinhardt.....

#67 I support your HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT suggestions. I saw them at The Arches about a year ago.

MONDAY

HALFWAY

Neither up nor down.

Halfway to paradise.

At the point of no return.

Compromise. (Meet me halfway). That reminds me of the mother of my child.


What she said:- "We have to compromise."

What she meant:- "You have to compromise."

>8-D

H for Hirsute. Hairy musical stars from bee gees to Stevie nicks.

H could be for HANG-UPS

#74

Have you been listening to Billy Rankin's breakfast show?

#76 No whats it on? Rock Radio or something :o)

#77

Yeah. He was playing songs by 'Hairy Rockers' the other day.

Including the Mighty Tull!

NEWSFLASH!

Stevie Nicks herself whilst shaving.......

#67
One Shot - JLS

The Club is Alive - JLS

and one for Henri


Umbrella - JLS

#76

Jonathan Ross was talking about him.

#81

I refuse to listen to Woss. His only redeeming feature is Jane Goldman.

He wasn't complimentary. He claimed he'd deafened him.

H for Honey, Health, Hair, Heaven, Hotels

And Hangovers!

H is for Holiday - It's Glasgow Fair Monday and everyone will be abroad anyway.

How many Mexicans does it take to change a lightbulb?














Just Juan.......

#83

Pardon?

I like Peter Alliss's story about Henry Longhurst. After a good dinner Henry was found in the telephone booth of his hotel punching the phone buttons and mumbling,"Second Floor."

THURSDAY

'Super Trouper' - Abba

It mentions Glasgow, which in the Gaelic means 'Dear green place.'

A super trouper is a spotlight, so Bryan will have an excuse to moan.

Again.

>8-D

#84, #85

Is that an Edinburgh accent?

THURSDAY

'Dimples' - John Lee Hooker


Every golf ball has dimples. Pure hunners, by the way!

330 - 500 depending on who makes them.

I Mac - Pop men jig

#93

That Morrissey track was your fault, Mr. MacLean. Ony mair and Bob Harris will have another listener.










P.S. Hard to hear lyrics?!? Wisnae' me!

It's not me on Jura and JLS was just a wee joke. Like Morrissey.

Some things are too serious for jokes.

H is for Humourless

Are you still not taking to him SG ~ despite my efforts?

Anyway it was the Smiths as you fine well know!

Wha kin tell the difference?

Don't forget Boo Hewerdine directly after GIO.
