Jona Lewie Stop The Cavalry
I never tire of hearing this song. It's got a lot of elements that could seem twee and irritating, but it manages to transcend all that. Love it.

Bound to annoy someone, somewhere, but here's a double whammy, if you allow for implied uniforms:
The Police Don't Stand So Close To Me

Sailor Girls, Girls, Girls
Offensive in its in yer face leeriness, but - so what, it's still catchy.

Dr Feelgood Milk and Alcohol

Original as ever.

Hi Bryan -thought I would try the blog for a change. Uniform suggestions:

Every day is like Sunday - Morrissey and his rant against a mundane and uniformly dull existence.

Knights of Cydonia - Muse (although armour isn't strictly a uniform)

Spaceman - The Killers

Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

The Captain - Biffy Clyro (that's my favourite choice)

As always - thanks for a great show.

Scotch -

Mr Policeman - Brad Paisley?

#33

no problemo, jimmy.

Sailor - Anne Shelton
The Unknown Soldier - The Doors
The Dam Busters March - Jethro Tull (From Bursting Out)

Appalling cover versions. Celine Dion's You Shook Me All Night Long springs to mind but you'll have your own favourite.

TUESDAY - UNIFORMS:

Chelsea Pensioners?...'Talking Old Soldiers' - Bettye LaVette

#32

Gaie Barre? (Any relation to Martin?)


#33

Nah. Brad's obviously out of our league. As is

'Sister Josephine' - Jake Thackray

>8-D

Greenock vernacular:

#37 Gaie Dough

someone not very cool. This person possibly looks a bit of a nick and may also be a right American term for hin' end that is ruder here. Sometimes used alliteratively with an adjective intensifier. Jake McQuillan, if he were a boy today, would use these terms liberally.

TUESDAY

Takes a Worried man - Brownie Mcghee
Willin' - Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

Gaie Moaver?

Definitely!

Uniformity:

Military types:

* Donovan - Universal Soldier
* Stiff Little Fingers - Tin Soldiers
* The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Religious Types:
* Tom Jones - Burning Hell
* Fathers Ted Crilley & Dougal Maguire (aka The Divine Comedy) - My Lovely Horse

And cos not all uniforms are good:
* Bragg/Wilco - All You Fascists (are bound to lose)
* Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
(the Luther Wright and the Wrongs country cover is good too, and replaces some of the possibly iffy-for-teatime-radio words)

Big +1 on Norrie's Highway Patrolman suggestion. Nebraska has always been my fave Springsteen album.

'Stop' - Sam Brown...a Sam Browne is a leather belt worn with Army Uniform, the one that has a strap attached thet goes over the shoulder,

'SMOCK Rings' - k d lang (Paras wear smock jackets).

V is for Velocity

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

#55

Like that - songs that helped you see from another perspective/understand someone else's Point of View. Which really does need to come with a personal story for a request - what was it that you saw differently from that song?

TUESDAY

'Queen and Country' - Jethro Tull ~ A song about Sailors in the Queen's Navy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IAN ANDERSON (63 Today)

#57 How does he manage to stand on one leg, play the flute and grab onto his zimmer all at the same time?

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

What've I done to upset you Adam...is it because I arranged for you to spend an evening with Brad? He's not that bad!

Not upset!!

#63

Need to wait for the Ajudicator - however, curiously enough, over here football kits are called "uniformes".
