Are we no allowed acronyms?

Time for some love on this blog

Al Green - L.O.V.E

#38

Cause I'm M-A-D and I spell it for nothing

#37

Don’t be such a misanthropist, that's spelt m i s a n t h r o p i s t.

#38

Tell that to the lobsters...

Come to think of it, we've not had many culinary tales recently.

And some

R.O.C.K In The USA - John "Cougar" Mellencamp

#39? what? eh?

P.Y.T. Michael Jackson
how many possible themes could this tick the box for?
young prodigy. tick
lifelong talent. tick
fantastic voice. tick
some great songs. tick
put out some rubbish, too. tick
songs open for misinterpretation. tick
something went wrong somewhere. tick
maybe that wasn't such a good idea. tick

a rubbish song from a talented artist on whom the jury will forever be out on so many counts.

Adam and the Ants S.E.X. It sounded "dangerous" and exciting when I first heard it. A wee bit dirty, or something. Just the thing to tickle an impressionable teenage mind. Now, it just sounds.... had they not heard of the joys of cuddles on a cold night???? You cannae beat them. With or without a Burundi drum.

B. A. B. Y. --- Carla Thomas

#46 the doll strikes gold again

@Juliefromedinburgh really great suggestion for Patti Smith. She is way more than a one song artists and would be fantastic to hear on the radio. I am more than sure you spotted we could have Them for tomorrow and keep Patti for the medley night theme (for which momentum is growing) as the full track is:

Patti Smith - Gloria (Part I: "In Excelsis Deo", Part II: "Gloria")

Thought you would be in with a "second" for John "Cougar" Mellencamp!

Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers -Re-assessed, re-evaluated, rehabilitated, repellent
Vacation - Connie Francis

#8 DC - theems the vey ounes!

Happy to second "Method of modern love" (#10).

D.I.S.C.O - Ottowan
T-R-O-U-B-L-E - Travis Tritt
S.O.S - Abba
L-O-V-E - Nat King Cole
ABC - Jackson 5
Respect - Aretha Franklin

I thought we'd decided there was to be no more 'deo' on the blog... apart from 'day -oh...day - eh oh ..Daylight Come etc..?

regardez - youse

henri

#53 :o)

Actually Horses lp has two medley tracks therby matching or coming close to Mud Rocks.

Being omnipotent and omnipresent. He's here anyway.

#49 of course I second the John Cougar Mellencamp...and don't let anyone tell you you got his name wrong cos you haven't!

WDIA - Long Ryders

#49
Norrie I see no reason why both Medleys and Gatefolds shouldn`t feature in next week`s theme selection. Good solid Tuesday and Wednesday midweek fare.

#52
C`way Jokey, Aretha got a big klaxon early doors! :)

Boss alert! And Adam will like this one!!

D.E.D.I.C.A.T.I.O.N ~ Gary U.S. Bonds with the E Street Band

We're Only Making Plans for Nigel - XTC

Paul from Ayr

P.E.R.S.P.E.C.T.I.V.E.

How Men Are - Aztec Camera

This one is a bit sentimental but our special day is coming soon:

"M" is for the million times she biffed me,
"O" means that at last she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears I shed that saved me,
"H" is for her hands and heart so cold;
"E" is for her eyes, with malice shining,
"R" means right and left and right again,
Put them all together, they spell MOTHER,
But it was all for my own good, I ken.

What it Takes - Aerosmith
Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine refers to their own
song F.I.N.E., but the lyrics in that a bit ..em.. Pity, still, this one's fine.

and see how well you turned out, Glen.

#63 graaayyyttt theme suggestion for Monday.

No acronyms, no acceptance of the word spell with regards to magic, etc

Ouija Board ~ Morrissey 8-)

The Cure - 'Fire In Cairo'

A.B.C.......the song goes into great depth as to the necessity for these essential 'building blocks' of language and spelling.......jackson 5 (o'ill give it foive!!)

Quiet on the blog today.
Yesterday it was very busy for a spell.

#77 ye think you'll get a mention for that Adam?

R.E.M. - 'Harborcoat'

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads react...R-E-A-C-T.

Should have included the spelling of H-A-R-B-O-U-R ☺

Has to be:
* The Rutles - Cheese and Onions
Do I have to spell it out
C.H.E.E.S.E.A.N.D.O.N.I.O.N.S
Oh no

J.F.E. and I have been gagging for some Rutles for over a year now - come on, give it a go.
