Toni Childs - Dont Walk Away

a forgotten late 80's track

And presumably this is a time to

Sing It Loud - k d lang and the siss bang boom

Evergreen - Barbara Streisand

Roy Orbison - It's Over

He made shoutin' an art form, I propose Mr Noddy Holder!

Get Down And Get With It ~ Slade










An after thought, "sorry Scotch",

You Make Me Feel (mighty real) ~ Jimmy Somerville

'I'm Gonna Be Strong' --- Cyndi Lauper

Testing song, incredible delivery ...

previously on the blog
Adam....Boom o yatatata

Am I too Late?

'if I had a Hammer' ~~. Blind Boys of Alabama

Wow ...

Klaxon on Marie & Shout?

Bill Withers - must be some cross to bear as a name. Maybe that's why he went that extra mile keeping it going for as long as he could....
Lovely tune, whatever the weather.

Spanish-Eyes has already gotten in with Babs, so - trying for one better........
Donna Summers and Barbara Streisand No More Tears (Enough is Enough)
Not sure if they're trying to outdo each other. Who cares. Incredible vocal performances from both divas.

and I applaud #4 Madmac's Jimmy suggestion.

who's on the night shift? someone's dropped the baton

THURSDAY


#4,

Nae probs.


#5,

Sorry, Kene.


'I'm Gonna Be Strong' - Gene Pitney

L'Amore Sei Tu (I Will Always Love You) - Katherine Jenkins ~ Yes. That I.W.A.L.Y.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Right! Jammies on!

Bryan,

Whit aboot haudin' a note wi' a flute?

#12 don't know it? Never mind miss babs will know.

I will always love you - Whitney Houston

More to follow

Joe
Linlithgow

#9

Have some sympathy for his brother Richard.

OK, not a note but great breath skills. I do believe (and CaptRamius can back me up on this) that Billy Bragg manages the following line in one breath on 'Busy Girl Buys Beauty"...

And all those quick recipes
Have let you down
And you're twenty and a half; and not yet engaged
Will you go look for the boy who says
I love you let's get married and have kids

ok so no totally huge lingering hingin' on in there notes but a few longish notes to give a nice soothing meandering effect ........................singing it in style

moon river...katie melua

cheers frae the dale

Yes, but can he juggle and unicycle at the same time?

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaYnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

MY PINK HALF OF THE DRAINPIPE from THE DOUGHNUT IN GRANNIE’S GREENHOUSE by THE BONZO DOG DOO-DAH BAND

Oops, sorry, that won’t be on the list either.

SO THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!

ST?

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO!

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

What is the theme? Is out loud (say Roger Daltrey) or hold a note for a long/fake amount of time (Maria Carey) ?

guitars allowed?

Parisienne Walkways - Gary Moore

thought not

There must be a good one for Ian Gillan.
Live version of Strange Kind Of Woman mebbe?

Which reminds me, Bryan might have stumbled onto a good theme the other night -

Songs where the live version is better than the studio one.

Mister Zoot Horn Rollo, hit that long lunar note, and let it float....

#28 Adam great theme suggestion, really like that.

Whitney houston - The Greatest Love Of All, fantastic and a welcome break from the other song

Celine Dion - It's All Coming back To Me Now

Anita baker - Angel

Jesse Powell - You

k d lang - a case of you

k d lang - hallelujah preferably live, but cannot argue with Billy in Alloa - Jeff Buckley.

I've had a rubbish day so far...This would cheer me up:

'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' - Jennifer Holliday ... or 'I Am Changing' (which has pretty much the same long note at the end)

Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine

We are the Three A-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-MIGOS!

Communards - 'You Are My World'...would cheer me up too!

The Divine Comedy - Can You Stand Upon One Leg?

Can you hold a singing note for a stupidly long time
Well it's my party piece so let's make it a little harder
By starting it way up high
Come on, give it a go
Let's see how long you can hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooold on to a note!

Jay and the Americans - 'Cara Mia'

On the live album David Bowie 'Stage'

"now Ziggy plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd
Guitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

J.O'B.

It seems Bryan Ferry doesn't do long notes.

J.O'B.

#32 The KD Lang live one is awesome!

#28 that's sort of the same as an idea I had, which was for the song that you most want to hear live and did it live up to/exceed expectations. It was after hearing the Low Anthem doing Charlie Darwin. There's always one song that you love so much you think 'live' will be the absolute ultimate.

Also not on the list

PLANET OF THE BARITONE WOMEN from BROADWAY THE HARD WAY by FRANK ZAPPA

Long note by BOBBY MARTIN (more like an arpeggio, actually)

#13 Hippolarconinsomniaphobe

But obviously no triskaidekaphobe.

Abide khaki poster

Ha! Chip bin in some poor lap

Self indulgent SHOUT by BB!

Workin so will have to listen again. Has Miss Babs managed to play
Someone help me help me help me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

yet?

#49

No.












Miss Babs isnae' workin'.

Another great show! The cynics confounded again!

disagree ... this old cynic says there were better options ... imho
