Bryan Burnett| 19:55 UK time, Monday, 12 December 2011
We were swamped by birds tonight which was terrible news for Jane in Blanefield who texted in to tell us that she had a bird phobia so was struggling a bit with the theme. There were some lovely tunes tonight which could cure anyone who was bird-phobic. Dolly's Little Sparrow, The Guillemots and Vera Lyn's White Cliffs of Dover were real standouts.
From Rock n Roll to Sweet Soul Music, our theme for Tuesday is alliteration. It's been inspired by the seven swans a swimming that my true love has just left under my tree. We will include alliteration in the song as well as the artist's name, so this could be a night for Billy Bragg...or even Bryan Burnett!
Thick as Thieves ~~ T. Jam Sugar and Spice ~~ T. Searchers Femme Fatale ~~ Nico and The Velvet Underground Look Before You Leap ~~ Dave Clark Five Do or Die ~~ Human League
When this theme's finished we're all due 364 presents!
Head Over Heels ~~ T. GoGos Burn You Up , Burn You Down ~~ Peter GabrielÌý Cheek To Cheek ~~ S.A.H.B. Louie Louie ~~ MotörheadÌý Barra Barra ~~ Rachid Taha Really Really ~~ T. Undertones.. anything else than bloody Jimmy, Jimmy!
Devils and dust - Springsteen Bad moon rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival sing a song - Earth Wind and Fire White winter hymnal - Fleet Foxes Little lies - Fleetwood Mac take me out - Frnz Ferdinand Follow you, follow me - Genesis Sara smile/One on one - Hall and Oates Say something - Haven Gone, gone, gone - Plant/Krauss Chin up, cheer up - Ryan Adams Something stupid - Yearwood/Malo Fallin' and flyin' - Jeff Bridges/Colin Farrell
'Cruel To Be Kind' - either the very good cover by Letters To Cleo or Nick Lowe's version. BTW, heard what I assume is a recent song by him last night...has he had false teeth fitted?
'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' - AC/DC
'Sing A Little Song' - Desmond Decker (a very uplifting wee ditty)
'Time Will Tell' - Eli 'Paperboy' Reed
...and today's Pink Martini selection is... 'Unna Notte A Napoli...seriously good...sing along even if you don't know Italian...I don't, and I do!
'Bitty Boppy Betty'...about a cross-dressing District Attorney!!

Beat me to it Gaie.
Alliteration is the theme. Dont think repeating the same word counts otherwise I would have had Duran Duran in already.
