BRING ME THE HEDGE OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Ìý
Green Manifesto - Roxy Music

It's My Green Party and I'll Cry if I Want To - Lesley Gore

Greengrocer Jack - Keith West

Greengrocers' Apostrophe - Frank Zappa

Ye Cannae Fling Greenpeace Oot a 20 Storey Flat - Adam McNaughton

TAKE SCOTCH THE FLOWER BED OF ALFREDO GREEN

THURSDAY


I'll get my "Complete waste of time and energy" request oot the road first...

Jack-in-the-Green - Jethro Tull


This, however, is pure dead brilliant, and should be dug oot if at all possible...

Jolly Green Giant -

I rather suspect George Thorogood spent a lot of time listening to this band!


There's always the green-eyed monster...

Jealous - Sinéad O'Connor

Jealous Man - Hoyt Axton

Jealous Dogs - Pretenders


P.S. The Hoyt Axton song is very short, if you find yourself under time pressure.

(Green Gartside) Scritti Politti - 'Faithless' or pretty much anything from 'Songs To Remember' really

#3

...and his wee sister, Theresa!


;o)

Here's one from 1970:

Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum

and one from last year

Satisfied Cee Lo Green

and one from 1971

Jealous Guy - John Lennon

and this, one from 1973

Karma Chamelon- Culture Club ( Red Gold & Green etc)

and this from 1959,

The Green Manilishi - The Allman Brothers Band

regardez youse

henri

Jam - Pretty Green

'Little Green Bag' - George Baker Selection (used in Reservoir Dogs opening sequence...if it's good enough for QT, it should be good enough for GIO)

#8...knew you'd say that!

#7

You mean 1983.

The music in 1973 was much better than yon!


>8-D

Unsurprisingly the 'much more creditable album charts' didn't get much of a showing tonight, did they?

Would have thought a double whammy for Peter Green and

Fleetwood Mac - Green Manalishi

no, Henri?

Green Gloves - The National

Blue Moon - The Marcels - Taking advantage of the new 15% theme deviation rule

Natural World - Sonny Landreth

what a brilliant song. Sadly I don't think it's made the singles charts..

#11/12

The Four Tops and the Supremes was 1970. I thought maybe Nutbush City Limits was the intended track, but it's 73, still, it's closer than 66.

I've listened to a few versions of Little Green Apples but think Bobby Goldsborough's version is best. Leapy Lee does a good version too. I can't remember who had the hit with it.

The Grass is Blue - Dolly Parton


Following Eric's lead...

;o)

Sorry folks, I think you'll find you have to tweet or facebook to take advantage of the new rules. However, there's of course no reason whatsoever for us not carrying on in time-honoured fashion suggesting songs that won't get played. For instance, howabout

Dandelion Blues - The Incredible String Band

that's green, and yellow and blue, which also = green

Following on from tonight's standards:


Tie a yellow ribbon - Dawn


DC

Thursday:

Minority - Green Day

#16

Henri,

Dunno when the single was released, but The Supremes & The Four Tops reached #11 in the UK singles chart with River Deep Mountain High on June 26th., 1971

#16

Little Green Apples - Roger Miller

Dexy Midnight Runners - Tell Me When My Light Turns Green

Billy Oceon - Green Light Spells All Ok

Al Green Let's Stay Together
Got a greenhouse/ shed load of other worthy suggestions (aye, right), just too busy with domestics to dig too deep.
Otherwise - #9 julie - massive seconds!

Emma Pollok - Red Orange Green

Van The Man - Blue and Green

John Cale - Graham Greene

Scotch did you know Rick Wakeman plays the keyboards on the Hunky Dory lp......

Ìý
You may have mentioned it.

Well, that cheered things up - what's really interesting is that clip of The Strawbs
(including Rick) that follows - utter mince, everything that was wrong with the 70's.It rounds off with Middle Of the Road.

'Middle Of The Road' is one of the great misnomers of our time - it's a long way short of that.

'Green Green Grass of Home' ~~ Kelly Hogan & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts

'Gretchen Green' ~~ Joe Lima

Both commended, and deserving ...

Juts a few:
Emerald - Thin Lizzy
Greenville - Lucinda Williams
Waiting for the light to turn green - Gretchen Peters

Oops - apologies: just

Here's another couple of unlikely candidates that i think are rather special:

All The World s Green - Tom Waits

Just Be Good To Green - Professor Green/Lily Allen

Island In the Sun - Weezer from the Green Album

Mahna Mahna - the Muppets ( The Fray, from The Muppets: The Green Album)

These are truly excellent and i commend them to the blogotariat, our hero and the production team.

and of course - Back It Up - Caro Emerald

lets hear it for the girls...............

'green grow the rushes o'......................cherish the ladies

who are also making an appearance at celtic connections. so is jack bruce and so is a play about woody guthrie at the tron which seems interesting.

cheers frae the dale

i'm baggin' this one to be the one song about 'green' that doesn't have 'green' in its title..............

its definitely a 'green' song and a few nods to derek jarman who created something 'green' , beautiful and inspiring on the beach at dungeness.
if you've never been there , you should put it on your 'must do' list because not only is there the awesome sight of the highly visible iconic 'dungeness B' nuclear power station but its now surrounded by a 'wind farm' on romney marsh. how green is that?.........there's also a fabulous wee bird sanctuary. the whole area is totally 'green'.

'dungeness'.......................athlete

cheers frae the dale

Grungeness - Pearl Jam - Greens sung

Am I the sole owner of the album 'Found On The Wave' by the Aberdeen duo GREEN?

caption compo..................sometimes the GIO team try and catch ye oot wi' some obscure fotae.nae chance.
this pic is in fact a backdrop to a very famous commentary by the late great david francie and it went something like this ( i remember it well)............

'and welcome from mount florida as the teams run out onto hampden park........'

neeps?....sure i'll accept a sack, and make a big pot o' soup'.....i'll be round pronto like......

cheers frae the dale

Today is a very special day in the life of one of the blogetariat, Adam_from_Rio has reached his 50th birthday. I hope that Bryan will find time to wish him all the best from Scotland's #1 music show.

Adam shares his birthday with one of his heroes, Simon Le Bon. "Rio" would therefore have been appropriate but unfortunately I can't think of a green connection there.

The best I can do is:

(South) American Idiot - Green Day



Happy Birthday Adam!


DC

I forgot just how great the Delphonics"Didnt I blow Your Mind This Time" was.Great choice ,Paolo.For tonight would be cool to hear Steely Dan's "Green Earring",Cheers,Willie Bartke

ADAM'S BIRTHDAY TUNE!


If Joe's asking for it, it must be good! (see #33)

Emerald - Thin Lizzy


Happy Birthday, young yin!

In another 50 years, (if you live that long), you'll receive a card from the Queen! (If she lives that long).

;o)

Blue on a Green Planet - Big Country

Feliz aniversário, Adam

Rio Verdhe - CCR

Thanks all!

There Is A Green Hill Far Away / For He's A Jolly Good Fellow (medley) - Scotch Git and His Chums.

Adam

I am sorry I cant be there with you on your big night as I'm preparing for my for moustache growing.

I hope you have a great 50th and although I could not think of a suitable track from Dave Bartram and the boys I have the following suggestion

David Bowie - Cat People

"see these eyes so green....."


Warmest best wishes.

"Village Green Preservation Society" - The Kinks

Thanks Norrie.

Though "bloodshot" would be more appropriate....

Adam's Birthday Tune

Happy Birthday Adam - Float On!.

Production Team: there is precedent for playing off theme tunes on special occasions - our Adam has requested this on 49 previous occasions, I'm sure he would appreciate it. Failing that agree on Emerald Thin Lizzy, not Caro, on this occasion - although I'm sure Caro Emerald would be as impressed with the ruggedly handsome Adam from Rio as she is with 'That Man'.

I shall raise my Brazilian shot glass to you later!

regardez - vous

#51 "see these eyes so bloodshot......" :oD

Agreed, Float On has been requested for so long that the floaters have turned green

DC

New Order - Everything's Gone Green

The Wonderstuff - Golden Green

I Am Arrows - Green Grass

Happy birthday Adam, looking forward to hearing Thin Lizzy!!

Happy Birthday Adam!

- Sydney Torch - I've been listening to this for some time

Not forgetting this Green



(I think they nicked the second part of the theme for Twin Peaks)

Maybe we should all just catch a flight.....

Rio - Mike Nesmith



Happy Birthday Adam, have a good 'un.

Al.

Where The Green Grass Grows - Tim McGraw

Al.

Stranger Than a Green Dog - Ian Siegal

Al.

Nesmith or Winner?

From the environment friendly Mr Ferry and the boys. From one of the all time great albums, an album there was no single release from, underlining some of the 1971 posts about albums of the time.

Re-Make Re-Model (Re-Cycle) / Roxy Music

Do you think I'll get away wi' it?

Al.

#62 He's looking well Eric, think he was one of The Monkees who could actually play a wee bit, no convinced the others could.
He always seemed to look fed up wi' aw the rest o' them......

Stick in your Dansette Bermuda

Adam, a Very Happy Birthday!

I hope you wear as well as the rest of us

I think

Emerald - Thin Lizzy

would be a grand song for you to rock your 50 years to!!

Happy Birthday Adam.

Green Fields Of France-The Furys(or Eric Bogle)
Little Green-Joni Mitchell

Key Lime Pie - Kenny Chesney

Al.

Green Shirt - Elvis Costello
Chartreuse - Louis Jordan
Camouflage - Stan Ridgeway

Emerald - Thin Lizzy for Adam please

Happy Birthday Adam. Hope you Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake yer booty......... all night long.

I'm sure it'll be on adam's party playlist tonight!

#71
! = ?


So annoying when one makes a symbol typo?

I mean !

Lime Street Blues - Procol Harum

As someone who spends quite a bit of time in Lime St, London this has always had a particular personal meaning - good track though, worth hearing.

I don't think Bryan likes Procol Harum.
