The Smurf Song - Barron Knights



A double whammy there

i was once watching the tv and this old politician from the north east of england was asked if socialism had been achieved. yes, he replied.on account of the fact that he had gained entry to the house of lords.
i'de never seen that dialectic in any o' the books.
power not only corrupts, it clearly turns ye intae a right auld daftie.

Strugglin with this theme. I'm off to bed. Knight knight.

Psychotic Reaction - Count Five

Funny my Aunt Jean always used to call the OBE the "Other Buggers Efforts" looking at a lot of OBE's I can see where she was coming from :).

Anyway on track

Tiny Dancer - Elton John (CBE)

forgot technically Elton is also a Sir as well...

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Warren Zevon - Lord Byrons Luggage

George Harrison - My Sweet lord

Lou Reed - Lady Day

....oh hold on thats not the way this theme is supposed to work......curses i felt a list coming on


Mary Lou Lord - Thunder Road

#9 Wan Kenobi gi'in' oot honours to a man who cannae be bothered favourin' the Scottish punters wi' a sang or twa.

Given the groundswell for Richard Thompson last night and the fact that he regularly features in Top Guitarist lists ( after KT Tunstall of course) I think he should be a contender tonight.

Maybe Thing-Fish can suggest a list of songs. Surely-to-goodness Radio Scotland will have one of them (and one that hasn't already been played on GIO, hint, hint)

#18 OBI = Only (in) Bliddy Ireland

#14 & #15

Elwe, I was fearful as to where you were going to go with #15.

Things must be worse than I thought if he prefers euros to sterling.

Never mind, the man with the dancing bear is coming to town today.

Where's the Hannah Man these days? Does he no want to give us his cauld?

The Captain and the Doll have been missin too.

They're all here under other names

#19

Any suggestions from me would be the kiss of death. Besides, Vincent Black Lightning 1952 is the only one on the list.

#26 Oh please God spare us from ever having to hear that blasted song again!!!

Bryan Ferry CBE (since 2 weeks ago)


And as it is this time of year the nearest you get to a Christmasy winter song from BF is:

IN YOUR MIND


Hark the frozen chimes of winter
Crystal shimmer in your mind

Well, that's Christopher Hitchins away: another one outlived by Megrahi. The deaths go on.

Ìý
I wonder if he's still an atheist?

Singer, songwriter, author, hugely influential over many yeras, tireless campaigner for animal and human rights....

Stephen Patrick Morrissey OBE - The More YOu Ignore Me, The Closer I Get

Yes and good on you David Bowie for turning down a CBE and a Knighthood. We all know he is holding out to be

Dame David Bowie - Boys Keep Swinging

Hello Team....a newbie at the blogging......soppy i know but i would have CAPTAIN BARLOWS name in the envelope to the Queen....so many great songs....so many great deeds for charity......and a good egg???
Although not my favourite GB song...how about
A MILLION LOVE SONGS......given that he wrote that when he was just 16

Welcome DRT! (Appropriately also the acronym of Durham Region Transit and Disaster Response Team).

I'm not familiar with Captain Barlow (been awa ower long), but will check them/him out.

Morrissey a human rights campaigner? When did that happen?

Besides, given his remarks about the Royal Family, I doubt the Queen would extend the invitation, and I doubt yer man would accept.

No doubt we'll still have to suffer him, but.

Talking about DRT reminded me of our hero, DLT.

If there is anyone deserving of a gong this year its The Hairy Cornflake. Acknowledged as the man responsible for helping Burmese pro-democracy leader, Ms Suu Kyi, survive her imprisonment by the Burmese baddies.
Well done Dave!

Convoy GB - Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks.

#33 Welcome aboard Mr Rugbytaxi.

#35 Morrissey is credited with delivering the anaesthetising background music which allowed those receiving torture to endure their pain



:-)

#33 Welcome Aboard DRT!

Re DLT: It beats me. The Burmese Military presumably thought that being subjected to 'DLT' would cause the prisoner to buckle, but years of being locked up listening to 'The Hairy Cornflake' have plainly left the poor soul delusional.

Anyway: it's time for Dame Donna Summer

How she reminds of me mother! Especially on this track:

I Feel Love - Donna Summer or

Could It Be Magic - Donna Summer My mother all over the back, Donna can even make Barry Manilow sexy.

Bad Girls - Donna Summer My mum's favourite

She sings this exactly like my mum on this one.

regardez vous

I remember he said something utterly fatuous when the story broke.

DLT, it was, who said something utterly fatuous when the story broke.

#39

Self-effacing, Henri, self-effacing.

#40

#Self- effacing is not a term I've heard used to describe myself , Adam, but it's decent of you to highlight it. If only DLT were the same.

In addition to Dame Donna Summer, I also think we should have Sir Jack Bruce:

Sales of 35m records over three years,the first ever platinum album - most of it written by Jack, among the most revered musicians among musicians and so it goes on.... oh.. and he's Scottish!

Make Love - Jack Bruce

Progress - Jack Bruce Jack and a piano, wonderful.

Never Tell Your Mother She's Out Of Tune - Jack Bruce good show opener.

Born Under A Bad Sign - Cream

Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream.. it woud be nice to hear Jack's solo work

regardez youse

henri

#20 ha! very good. Tom bliddy Petty.

#26 Fine.

Fine.

Do it myself.

Beeswing - Richard Thompson

and a posthumous 'Dame' Dusty Springfield:

Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart

Hello, DRT!

I should think it's high time Paul Jones was recognised for his service to blues music, by way of his excellent long-running radio programme and formidable knowledge of blues.

High Time - Paul Jones

On Alison Again:

Bryan, I know you were at DJ School when it was the thing to be able to talk over the intros of songs and get the timing just right so you finish just as the singing starts. However, its not required these days and besides, talking over the intro of Ballroom Blitz is just heresy.

#35 yes

#44

Gaie,

Alison again.

#46

Norrie,

Yes indeed!


>8-D

#47 Norrie - thanks for that!
