A National treasure, me.


The Way You Do the Things You Do - the Temptations

Please have a look for 'You're To Blame' by Elizabeth McQueen (of Asleep At The Wheel). Sheer float-on-cloud-nine, jazzy happiness, though the title might not suggest it. If Mary Doll was here she'd second it.

Can't Buy Me Love - the Beatles

McCartney on blistering form. there are some very good jazz covers of this, but the otiginal still sounds as fresh as the day it was released.

This 12 bar pot boiler is surely their dullest song.

#4 which one of the three above do you mean?

a No.46 smash!:

Pete Townsend - Let My Love Open The Door

a smash for Lou Reed (#78 in the USA) from the man who showed Brroooce how to make a video and how to dance:

Lou Reed - I Love You Suzzane

It's also poorly recorded with slapdash double tracking. The B-side (though anther 12 bar) is far better.

I'll overlook you Suzzane if you forget my anther.

#6 I'll second your Pete Townsend request

How Sweet it Is (To Be Loved By You) - Junior Walker & the Allstars

Love Letters - Frankie Miller

Little Bit a Love -Bruce Guthro

Together Forever - Rab Noakes

#8 not often you offer a plea bargain. I'll take it!

Blossom Dearie - 'Doop Doo De Doop (A Doodlin' Song)'...cute!

Lanu featuring Megan Washington - 'Beautiful Trash'

'You're The World To Me' - David Gray

Happy New Year, fellow bloggers! Apologies for the belatedness - it's still valid for at least the next week.

This theme suits my new year's resolution no. 1 - to be more upbeat and positive. Always better than some possible alternatives. Nobody is looking to make any happy clappy converts here, just share some music.

So, #2 Julie - absolutely seconded! What a delightful song - love it! Screams the joy of ..... being blissfully in love. ;o)

#10 gaie - also seconding Junior Walker et al. Fab!

Offering a bit of good ol' fashioned Nat King Cole, myself Walking My Baby Back Home Romantic without being slushy.

#16 Thanks MD

blink.
is it really 20 years since one of the great political speeches of modern times was made.
a speech that made it into my top 3 of all times. ( the other two ....'there'll be no whitewash in the whitehouse'.....and an obscure harold wilson effort from a party conference.)
and it was a speech that wasn't even made by, at that time, a politician.
but by a wife who was so in love but definitely not the smootchy kind either.
a wife who was so in love with her husband that she didn't have time to stay home and bake cookies.
and as today is the new hampshire primary then this speech (song) is a stark reminder that the candidates will have some way to go to up their game.

I've always wondered about the true identity of Patrick McCafferty.

Eric you are suposed to split this in to a great many posts of 2 or 3 like me, 10 or so posts of about 6 to 8 like Henri.

Anyway Love Me Do is the Beatles worst single by far.

It's not a Beatles single - Ringo's not on it.

#34, #35

Ach, its just Glen going through a mid-blog crisis.

Fast Love?


"It Only Takes A Minute" - Tavares


Egg Timer in Rio

I'll see that and raise you (so to speak):

Sixty Minutes of Your Love - Homer Banks

#36 I thought he played tambourine?

P.S I Love You

You're right.

P.S. I Love You is pretty poor, too.

The Beatles - not all they're cracked up to be.

#33 Eric, I'm sorry The National finally sent you over the edge

#33

I like the drumming on Love Me Do. However, as I was saying in my moderated post (#19) it doesn't matter whether Can't Buy Me Love is 12 bars - it's still great. The B side is admittedly better still but GIO never play it but like Can't Buy Me Love it's also on theme:

You Can't Do That - The Beatles what a single that was!

McCartney on blistering form on the A side: Lennon on imperious form on the B side.

Should have been a double A side, really.

regardez - youse

#42

It's not bad - a little downbeat for me.

#43

In the early days of stereo broadcasts there were test transmissions where they played one channel from TV and one from radio and I remember hearing Love Me Do. Unfortunately EMI erased the master tapes so the latest re-issue version is mono only.

Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain’t Nobody

John Paul Jones - Love Is In The Air

John always preferred mono.At the time I couldn't understand why, but these days I think music that was originally recorded mono should have been allowed to stay mono.

Was McCartney really a pigeon fancier?

#46

It was recorded live on two track - voices one side, instruments the other - mono probably sounds better.

#47

No, it was .

#26 DK
The political comment that made me snigger was during the great sam and ella egg debate in the commons as Edwina was telling us we were all going to die.

Nicholas Fairbairn MP QC RIP rose from the backbenches looked over his half moon gregory's and said

''What the right honourable lady should remember is that she was once an egg herself and it is fair to say that both sides of the house now regret it's fertilisation''.

Have we done eggs as a theme?

No eggsplanation - WHATEVERSHEBRINGSWESING by KEVIN AYERS

(see album cover)

#49

At least Edwina's lover wasn't driven to attempted suicide.

#50

Dont think so - unless it was part of the "On the Farm" theme.

Can you come up with the necessary 24 song-list to meet the PB criteria? (Withoot puns).

The Poacher - Ronnie Lane

Adam and the ants - never trust a man with egg on his face

Counting Crows - Einstein on the beach (for an egg man)

Human Leauge - Being Boiled

Patti Smith - Easter

#43

You got moderated for that Henri??

Sunny side of the Street.

Do chicken count. Would that theme come before the egg theme?

#58

Not quite: I recounted an hilarious converstaion with the kids about tonight's theme, but I was probably a little clumsy in the way it fell down the page.

Needless to say they tought it was inspired by The Kranies. I had to explain there was a difference between ' Swingin' Lovers' and swinging lovers.
