"Aint gonna bump no more with no big fat woman" - Joe Tex

fits the theme. Queen's song addressing the larger lady doesnt.






And you wonder how he's on every night, Scotch?

Ìý

Yep, really looking forward to the geetar hero theme, that'll be a challeng for us aw!

As for our next item ;

If You Want To be Happy For The Rest Of Your Life - Jimmy Soul

Edwyn Collins & Paul Quinn - Pale Blue Eyes

#1 Love Freddie and Queen, but would prefer to hear your suggestion instead. Plus I doubt Freddie's heart was really in those lyrics. ;o)
Mind, either would be preferable to that wee Osmond fella who's sure to get a bad few mentions.

Sorry - one of my pet loves. Description of a very complex creature. Borders on character assassination at times. Then just about manages to pull it back from the brink.
Billy Joel Always A Woman To Me

Al, it certainly is a challenge getting the team to play any decent guitarists outwith their standard playlist.

eg - for tomorrow

- Jeff Healey

Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies

Your Bright Baby Blues - Jackson Browne

Big Bad Handsome man - Imelda May

Women are less forgiving and more likely to stick the knife in......
The Chiffons Sweet Talkin' Guy

Forever in Blue Jeans - Neil Diamond

I wear my heart on my sleeve - Gallagher & Lyle

Billy's got his beer goggles on - Neal McCoy

Don't think we get enough decent country aired, outwith Johnny Cash of course....hmmmm

Lord Anthony - Belle and Sebastion
Stupid Girl - Garbage
Mary Blaize - Kate Rusby

Scissor Sisters - Filthy/Gorgeous

# 8 - I hear you but that's for that night, to keep you going and to stay in this theme can I make a wee suggestion;

Check YT for Brad Paisley doing Sharp Dressed Man, that boy can play......

Well done, Norrie - sister Margaret will be pleased to know her banana loaves have been properly risk assessed before making their way into the studio.

I'm going for the klaxon track but this is a completely blistering performance by Mccartney and is a reminder that those who don't think him a rocker are wrong - it's just that the talent is much wider than that. Matter of fact, we could slip him in for guitar heros for his blistering solo on Taxman - no, it wasn't George.

Long Tall Sally - The Beatles

regardez youse

henri

Man of the world - Fleetwood Mac




You won't play a better track all year











....that is until the Gilmour track Thursday night



DC

..three button tee shirt it's a tye die

Kool in the Kaftan - BA Robertson

#14 oh I know that, thanks to Scotch Git for introducing me to Brad. Or maybe it was madmac, but anyway, we love Brad. Sharp-dressed Man is on the iPod!

The description is not so much in the lyric, it is in the Mike Garson piano playing and in Bowie's vocal...

She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil

One of Bowie's finest moments:

David Bowie - Lady Grinning Soul

Grown So Ugly - Captain Beefheart

It would be great to hear this:

Homburg - Procol Harum

make's a change form Whiter Shade of Pale, and just as good imho.

regardez youse

henri

Red Dress - Robert Plant

One of These Days - Ten Years After

Get a Haircut - George Thorogood

There's Black Magic Woman as well, but the Fleetwood Mac version. Also Gold Dust Woman and Sugar Daddy by the same (in name) group or even Suicide Sal - Maggie Bell

Spent some time feeling inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
Came out looking just the same

The laughing gnome / bowie


Black puddin bertha / the goodies

'Working Class Hero' ~~ J Lennon ( a 1 sec fade wouldn't be 'rocket science' !?)

possible theme idea:

'Lost Songs' ... great songs that never reach our ears due to censorship. A challenge for 'technically astute Richard ...

These describe some of the 'characters' in my acquaintance ... (Bela excepted)

'Rich Kids' ~~ Rich Kids

'Mad' ~~ Todd Rundgren

L'amour Looks Something Like You - Kate Bush

I hadn't heard this in ages and had forgotten just how extraordinary her first album is.

'Unique' is a term that is dished out rather liberally - seventeen years old,touched by a flash of magical eccentricity ( a peculiarly English thing) - something which would only become more obviously manifest and, seemingly impossible viewed from this album, all the more exaggerated with time.

Mad as a hatter, but unique - it would be good to hear this.

Well, quite, MD.
But then would singing about lardy men making the rocking world go round, be any better?

How could I have forgotten.... guaranteed to be the track of the night....

Look out, there's a monster coming - The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Our hero will understand that it's about time we heard Bonzo's material other than the McCartney produced classic 'I'm The Urban Spaceman'

cheers frae thye dale

Ive not heard Lisa Stansfield for ages is she still out and about? good voice how about All Woman? just for the Ladies that are feeling a wee bitty under valued at the moment xx

#44

I agree with Elspeth's daddy. Surely one of the biggest unanswered questions in the history of Rock n Roll is - why weren't The Big Dish utterly massive?

I'd go for this one though, cause Miss America has been on before (though I'd be happy to hear Miss America at any time and if the under noted is not in the library).

Faith Healer - the Big Dish

GOD LOVES A DRUNK from THE SONGS POUR DOWN LIKE SILVER by RICHARD THOMPSON


#48 The Utterly Massive Dish?

Mistrust ethyl adhesive

Despite her unremarkable singing voice Dory Previn wrote some witty songs none more than"Lemon Haired Ladies", her swipe at Mia Farrow who went off with husband Andre.Her most well known song is the brilliant bittersweet understated tale of a desperately lonely "Lady with the Braid",curiously not mentioned in the lyrics but fits the bill nonetheless.Other contenders are Sam the Sham's funny "Little Red Riding Hood"(love the ending "Aaaoooww,I mean Baaaah")or possibly the most insulting in this particular genre ,"Spotty Muldoon"by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore,but would love to hear Dory Previn Cheers,Willie Bartke

#48

Perhaps The Big Dish weren't massive because they were a vapid, vacuous, valueless, over-produced triumph of style over content.

#51

Spotty Muldoon has been rejected in the past.



Heard-Hearted Hannah - Ella Fitzgerald

#52 But these attributes worked for Morrissey!

Only songs describing appearance are in, apparently. Not so apparent from the blurb at the top. ;o(
