Barbara Ann - Beach Boys

Miss Babs puts the super-block on everything from Gilmour to the Stones to Scotch Git so she should be acknowledged with this track










That's me super injuncted for the next week now

DC - you were super injuncted already, plead double jeporady and serve this sentence conncurently....

I plead double jepor-ady as advised by my lear-ned friend.





What's a jeporady btw?

I think I would, too.

WEDNESDAY


'Let's Invite Them Over' - John Prine & Iris DeMent

Clearly I am a total numpty. I (and at least 3 others) misread SG's post yesterday. Today I don't even understand the theme. Was it explained on the part of the programme I didn't hear while having my brain cell further scrambled at night-class?

#2 was meant to be of help, however my Client has decided to defend himself.

I make one further post on this thread, 2 songs one great artist, you need CSI Get It On to decide which is best.

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant disguise

Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden

Mazzystar, the defence rests.....

#3 oh dear - let's all make sure we're armed with (and use) spell checkers before we dare to post here. Even Glen makes typos. Who dares pick him up on them?? Not I - life's too short.
#8 great comeback!

There is some irony in the choice of this theme. My post which included the word Ryan was removed almost instantly on the day he was on the front page.

#10 Thank you, my expert witness, who for reasons unexplained can only be referred to secretly bas "The doll"

Who can resist:

Leonard "Miller" Cohen - My Secret Life

The Master at his very best....

WEDNESDAY


Time to see this again;

'The Scottish Cheating Song' -

okay, here goes. There is quite a good wikilist of songs that were banned (which is close to the theme) and if we're playing those i'd go for "Hi Hi Hi" by Wings, though it might still be banned. Noel Coward 's "Don't Let's Be Beastly To The Germans" sounds like an interesting proposition too.

But to more routine possibilities:

Squealing Pigs - Admiral Fallow
Secrets - Sunscreem
Do You Want To Know A Secret - The Beatles /Billy J Kramer?
From A Whisper To A Scream - Robert Plamer/Alan Toussaint
Third Degree - West Bruce & Laing
He Was Really Sayin Somethin - the Velvelettes
Blackmail - 10CC
Does Caroline Know - talk talk

Any of these would be good, though I'm not that bothered about The Beatles, it'll get requested elsewhere.

Secret Love is an inevitablility, but could we have the Kathy Kirby verison? - It's easily the best version and would acknowledge her passing a couple of weeks ago.

is there any chance that when the ´óÏó´«Ã½ IT department comes back from their holidays they could sort the blog so that the comments don't sit forever with the wee wheel turning and you have to refresh the page before posting again. Thank you.

Aretha Franklin's brilliant transcendent cover of James Carr's hit "The Dark End of the Street" has got to be heard to be believed. Trust me!Great as James Carr's version is ,Aretha does what she did to "Son of a Preacherman"(from the same amazing album "1970's "This Girl's in Love with You),grabs it by the throat and drags it up the church steps transforming it into a declaration of pure sanctified soul.With amazing guitar by Duane Allman this is Aretha at her absolute finest.Cheers Willie Bartke

I was thinking of Whispering grass from Don Estelle and Windsor Davis dont tell it to the trees cause they will tell the birds and bees and everyone will know because you told those blabering trees maybe Twitter is not such a new way of breaking injunctions.

I'll second that willie. it is indeed a great version. Not as good as James Carr of course but one of the better covers. As the greatest secret cheatin song of all time it would make a nice change to hear the Aretha one on the show. The other really good version is the one by Percy Sledge.

.



It's incredible how many folk have covered this song and even more incredible why many of them even bothered. What were they hoping to do. Improve on it?

Amongst the worst versions are Gram Parsons (too bland), Bruce Springsteen (trying to make it a rock ballad), Dorothy Moore (wtf a disco version) Flying burrito brothers (a country Version) Ken Booth (reggae version) Richard and Linda thomson (never meant to be a duet) Alex Chilton (ruined by backing bands jangly guitars).

Other poor covers from elvis Costello, Linda ronstadt, Barbara dickson, The eels et al.

There is a good instrumental by Ry Cooder. Best White versions are Peter Green and Eva Cassidy who at least invoke a bit of emotion.

Speaking of badly kept secrets, I hear Our Glorious Presenter has joined the ranks of the Twitterati.

You can blame Auntie Janice for spilling the beans...

You'd want to keep the facts quiet, and try you can injunct the media away from it (may not apply in Scotland, mind) in:
* Tom Waits - A Little Drop of Poison
* The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In The Road
* Lennon - Nobody Told Me
* Madness - Embarrassment
* The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
* Stereophonics - Long Way Round
I'll tell you all about it when I get home
...but right now I ain't sayin' nuffink

On the other hand, we all like
* Badly Drawn Boy - Something to Talk About

The only reason you're keeping secrets is because you can't help giving in to
* Heaven 17 - Temptation
even if
* Tom Waits - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
and you end up
* The Passions -

None of this is staying secret for very long because
* The Thompson Twins - We Are Detective

I'll go with that too, Willie - but like Paulo, believe James Carr is unassailable.

I agree with the view that it is a mystery why anyone would want to cover it - what else can be given to it that James Carr didn't already give to it.

By the way, in case the impression is formed that James Carr was a one hit wonder the Goldwax singles CD is awesome.

And I've just realised that one of them Pouring Water On A Drowning Man - James Carr is on theme for tonights show.

If we have Aretha, can we have James too?

Ah yes, another opportunity to request the 12" version of

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell

" we've been involved for quite a white now and to keep you secret, it has been hell..."

The version I'm talking about is from the Memorabilia album and although the longest track that'll have been played in a while, a truly special one,worth going the extra minutes for.

#38,41,57,Senga the Southside Soul Sister!Stonkin' cover of JJF with Keef on guitar!Paolo and Henri,much as I love James Carr's "Dark End"I'll go as far as to say that Aretha's cover is perhaps her best performance on record(imho).Breathtaking. But Henri, methinks Bryan is a soul brother too so if we ask nicely we may get to hear "Drowning man" AND Aretha,please ,Bryan,Cheers,Willie Bartke

#32,Paul,You're dogged attempts to get "Silky Veils of Ardor"played have got me delving out "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter"again to check out that final track that to be honest I found less than interesting first time around but boy did I get that wrong.As the final song on the some would say overblown "Don Juan"album(Henri!)the spartan setting ,just Joni and12 string guitar seemed like a throwback to her earlier accoustic material which I didnt take to so much.What a strange mysterious song though.The structure and language seem to hark back to old folk ballads ..."wayfaring stranger" "fair maidens"etc.Stunning guitarwork too.Would love to hear it and those who prefer pre "Summer Lawns"would agree its a beauty right enough.And there's me thinking I'm the Joni champ!Thanks,Willie Bartke

Thanks for the tip on the lad Carr! Very funny. Reminds me a wee bit of Chic Murray. Says on wiki that he plays tennis with Gervais, which puts me off a little bit though.
Cant find anything on on YT with him singing. Have you got a link?

#74

Last week my post was considered potentially defamatory. This week he's being kicked while he's down. Perhaps he should take out an injunction.

Oh dear. Well I hope someone's saving Ryan's privates.
