´óÏó´«Ã½

Ho-hum. You want us to suggest Radiohead?
Really??
Radiohead Exit Music
I do like it in my more mercurial moments of misery and self-pity (the alliteration fairy gave up on me there a bit) but can't see it opening or closing this show somehow. Pity - it's a cracker. Just a bit grim.
Talked myself out of that one, then. Duh.
Better still - that blindingly obvious one. The show wouldn't be complete without it.
Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive

and the welcome mat is always out for newbies to suggest something here rather than just the usual suspects hogging the show .......
Joel Grey Willkommen
"Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! Fremde, étranger, stranger. Glüklich zu sehen, je suis enchanté, Happy to see you, bleibe, reste, stay."

Evening all....

She Left Me on Friday - Shed Seven
Come Into My Life - Joyce Simms
Welcome To the Pleasuredome - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

I suppose the Billy Ocean classic 'Get out of my Dreams' should be in there but really doesn't do the man justice!

Happy weekend all

#8
She didn`t take the hint then DC?


GIO pencil-ins when we have this theme are

You`re Moving Out Today - Carole Bayer Sager
and
One More Night - Yellow Dog

but might I suggest

Southbound - Thin Lizzy (like I always do when given half the chance)from Live n Dangerous please.

So tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace

before he heads down to Rio apparently....

#4 - #5 - #8 - #9 - #10 - #20 - #21

Seven posts. 21 ÷ 7 = 3

One in three. One third. NOT one quarter.

#20

Deid as a doornail.

>8-D


'Framed' - Sensational Alex Harvey Band

do we know the other themes for the week?

#23 at the point I felt a need tae comment, it was 5/19 which you are quite correct, isnae a quarter, it's 0.26

Sums Easy, No Good Averages

#26
Space,
Your Favourite Pudding,
Songs that make you happy with a wee story why
Songs with "the" in the title.

oh, challenging then. Just as well I'm away.

Space?

Cue sounds of gnashing teeth to the far south-west.........

Another couple from me ...

Goodbye Earl --- Dixie Chicks

Dear John --- Hank Willians


Keepin it country for S.G.




>8-D

'I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door' - The Isley Brothers.

#32 somebody open the door and Let 'Em In Wings
I reckon the reason for the relative lack of comment on this theme is that the slant - "As one door opens then another one closes" - is a bit too negative. I'm almost certain that if they'd transposed the verbs there'd be at least 3 more comments.

Dont fret MD. Its a tried and tested theme.

`Let Em in` is a great shout. Brings back great memories.

Thouhg for a welcome home, no one does it better than

Jack Jones - Wives and Lovers.

"....i'm not talking about moving in....."

I Really Love to See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Coley

Steppin Out - Shakatak

#8. As Simon might say, I'm backing you 110% with that suggestion! It's a great song...very sweet and romantic without being sickly!

'The Great Escape' ... We are Scientists (magic)

'Evacuate' ... The Boxer Rebellion
'Who let in the rain' ... Cyndi Lauper
'Return' ... The Decuts
'Take me out' ... Franz Ferdinand
'They wont go when I go' ... Geo Michael
'Leave me in love' ... The High Wire
'Next exit' ... Interpol
'When the Siants go marching in' ... Louis Armstrong & his Allstars
'Hey hey, my my (into the black) ... Neil Young & Crazy Horse
'I go I go I go' ... Wave Machines

#34 the jack Jones song has taught me a lot....just ask Mr mazzy!

Was thinking of that 'step outside' song too, can't remember who it is but Wendy Richards comes to mind

Mazzy*

#38 That'll be "Cahm Ahtside" - Wendy & Mike Sarne

..not that I actually remember it first time round, Maz..... wiki to the rescue!

"Close your eyes, close the door.."

Come on in my Kitchen - Eric Clapton,

though here's a terrific version by

but you know what would make me happiest this week? Listening in to find that the one guy who's never been allowed in the door finally gets a hearing

A big thank you to all the bloggers last week who supported GONG. Maybe it just needed Julie to join in too.

Fred, apologies for my lack of Gong Campaign 'medal-ing'!!

...I could however get the tambourine out from the cupboard-under-the-stairs for 'Open Up Those Pearly Gates' by The Seekers!

Oh it's too early...#47 should read 'Open Up THEM Pearly Gates'

#27 - Desk Calculator?

Reverend and The Makers - Open YOur Window

Intros
* Dylan - Shelter from the Storm
Come in, she said, I'll give ya Shelter from the Storm
* Billy Bragg - Welcome to the New Brunette
Runrig - News from Heaven
Quite a different sort of entrance...
* De Dannan - Arrival of the Queen of Sheba (in Galway)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outros
* Springsteen - My Oklahoma Home
It blowed away, it blowed away
My Oklahoma home, it blowed away
It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away
* Hothouse Flowers - Don't Go
* Blues Brothers - Going Back to Miami
* Saw Doctors - I'll Be On My Way
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every arrival is a departure from somewhere
* The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - The Intro and the Outro
* The Pogues - Thousands are Sailing
(if you can get the Philip Chevron version from the Bringing it All Back Home TV show double album, then that'd be fanastic)
* Christy Moore - Back Home in Derry

+1 for FiD's #7 shout: She Came in Through the Bathroom Window

Monday:

Bryan Ferry "When She Walks In The Room" written soon after Jerry Hall went off with Mick Jagger

Also

anything from Steven Lindsay's (The Big Dish) solo album Exit Music.

J.O'B.

Nearly forgot:

* U2 - Exit

#53 I agree John Exit Music is an outstanding lp

Arrival, ABBA
I wonder(Departure), ABBA
Go Home, Barenaked Ladies
Outbound plane, Nanci Griffith

#52: Thousands Are Sailing... great shout! How did I miss that?

I'm confused looking at the FB page that this theme is Hello/Goodbye?!!

I think we should do Space instead, thats alot clearer to everyone...

My afterthought for tonight's theme...Big Spender by the amazing Shirley Bassey...

Grumpy of Stirling

Good idea Maria...I have a good 'space' song, that they'll never even listen to, that I've been waiting for an opportunity to request!

Julie, is it

TIME AND SPACE from SECOND WIND by PIERRE MOERLEN'S GONG?

Go Buddy Go T. Stranglers feat. JJ on Bloody Bass to quote H. C.

Close the Door ~ Teddy Pendergrass

No Quarter ~ Led Zeppelin

Keepin it eclectic!

Birds - Neil Young
Open Up Your Door - Richard Hawley
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon
Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston
The Snakes Farewell - Horslips
I'm Comin Home Again - Dusty Springfield
Comin Home - Delaney & Bonnie
Goodbye Stranger - Supertramp
Ain't Goin To Goa - Alabama 3
You Left Me Standing By The Door - Jimmy Cliff
Hello Goodbye - The Beatles
Knockin On Heavens Door - Bob Dylan

And a couple of people have mentioned Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Marc Almond/Soft Cell. Everytime GIO play this they play some atrocious version. The one we all want to hear is the 12" version from the Memorabilia CD - absolutely beautiful, there's a fantastic oboe/clarinet solo in the middle that Aker Bilk would have been proud of - Get It On

and, of course, a big 2nd for any of the Gong suggestions above - unlike the ´óÏó´«Ã½, Gilli hasn't got a defined benefit pension scheme, so we've got to help out.Think of it as a kind Children in Need.

regardez youse

henri

oh ..I forgot there's a really great remix of

Step Inside Love - Cilla Black a McCartney classic, well worth a spin despite the protestations on f***book.Let's face it, i have to put up the their endless demands for The Proclaimers and Dignity.

and

The Goodbye Look - Donald Fagan

and there's omething else I remembered earlier and now i've forgotten it.Irritating, but age doesn't come alone.

#50

Bryan Ferry's version of the Dylan songs 'Gates Of Eden', Knocking On Heaven's Door', or Bryan Ferry's version of the 30's standard 'Lover Come Back to Me'. His version of The Beatles 'She's Leaving Home'

Phil Manzanera 'Goodbye To Broadway'
