right listen up pedants and people who like a weekend quiz.

question number 1...................who was the group that performed on top of the pops who had the most nick names?

hard wan so i'll tell yiz.............................

'legend of xanadu'.................dave, dee, dozy, beaky, mitch and titch.

and for those with a curious mind...............'nickname' derives from 'an eke name'......'eke' meaning 'extra'.......i wiz payin' attention that day in ma english class and i've been waitin' decades tae share that wi' ivverybody.

answers on a postcard wi' a' yer bank details please..(will i accept rbs shares?...naw, no' the day)

How many nicknames does Scotch Git have?

#31 @ ya FID

google just disnae cut the mustard.
i can vividly recall the band standin' on thon bbc stage and they were a' lookin' cheery and i'm sure one o' them had a whip ( i really don't no' why any o' yiz are sniggerin')....i'm sure thats when the expression 'crackin' the whip' was invented.....the point is caller....i don't think any o' them was singing , they were a' mime in (the sort o' detail sadly lacking on google)

and also they got better as a group, much better.

'zabadak'.................dave dee dozy beaky mitch and titch

If the theme is for singers/musicians who have been given 'titles' e.g. Queen of Soul, King of Rock and Roll etc then I'll stick with the suggestions I've already made...

If the theme is really those known by their nicknames then I'd love this to be played:

'Topper' Headon - 'Leave It To Luck'...it's fantastic!

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

Us bloggers are music purists

Well, I suppose, most of us are...

Go with the nicknames or we may find that "rock singer" makes its way through f***book

As if.....

You Got the Silver - The Rolling Stones - Keef

Reasons to love Paul McCartney:

Mojo Reason No 32: "The intro to 'Goodnight Tonight'. Most intros aim no higher than establishing grove and tonality. Wall to wall tune smith that he is, McCartney believes in pre-selling a song witha distinct, often unrealted hookl. Think Michelle or Band On the Run. Or this 1979 off album ( now included in Mccartney 2) hit, which offers two for one pleasure, with the the flemenco strum and bass riff catchier than may artists entire songs"

Thery're right enough - I'd forgotten all about this track, probably unfashionable at the time, but listening again, really well put together. There's a you tube video of this being performed at the Apollo in 79 which is worth a listen - I've forgottten how to attach.

Goodnight Tonight - Macca

What have intros to do with trees?

The descending chromatic intro of Michelle is repeated at the end - "I will say the only words I know that you'll understand."

The first section of Band On The Run lasts 1:20 and it would stretching the term to call it an "intro".

I fear you are distorting the facts to accommodate your thesis.

I see your hero is releasing an album of standards - the last refuge of the uninspired (Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams .....)

#37
Frank. when he bought you that pint did he confirm or deny the oft cited story of Eddie Cochran's guitar...namely that on the fateful night of the crash that he, Dave Dee himself, was the young Police Constable on duty who recovered his guitar from the wreck. Did he also confirm that it was the young Marc Bolan (nee Feld) who had carried Cochran's guitar out to his cab after his gig that fateful night. Three legends and one guitar on the same night.

Wonder if they could do

Not my words, faither, it would have taken me much longer to get to the point, I'm sure - though it has to be said that what passes for feature writing in the music press is of a lamentably low standard, so no disagreement there.Having said that,I think the broadsheets have dumbed down to the level of the music press.

I had hitherto believed that Michelle was John's song, but doubtless McCartney contributed - it's hard to believe the respected music magazine Mojo would be wrong about something so fundamental? Agree about Band On The Run, two songs merged into one.

Still, the intro to Goodnight Tonight remains charming, but the track does have its own frustrations - I think he could have done more with the song - but that's an old complaint of mine - a kind of sloppiness bourne of intellectual arrogance which manifests itself in great tunes and good ideas being delivered as sub-standard product.

The same kind of sloppy writing that permeates the music press: anything goes.

The drummer was called Mick, not Mitch. Is Mick even a nickname? I would argue that Mick is merely an abbreviation of Michael.


Of course, in modern Scotland calling anyone Mick can get you arrested and charged with racially insulting all persons hailing from Hibernia. Unless the person or persons do not hail from Hibernia but do identify themselves as Roman Catholics, in which case the charge will be sectarianism, and you will find yourself incarcerated in a cell recently vacated by a rapist and/or murderer who is no longer regarded as posing a danger to the public. At least, not so dangerous as thou art.

No early release for you, you social misfit.

Disagreeing with the Scottish government is one of the unforgivable sins.


Indeed, I salute its unforgivability!

"Angel" - Rod the Mod and The Lawman (from Scotland Scotland ablum)

Here's a great wee clip at the bottom of the post on this blog

Been listening to the Codiene Velvet Club on Spotify - it must be very frustrating for those involved to produce music of this quality and for it to get nowhere. Mind you, it's half way between The Fratelli's and Caro Emerald, but isn't quite either. Maybe they should have put it out as The Fratelli's -which it more or less is, with a female vocal. Particularly like Begging Bowl Blues. Do you think 'John Fratelli' qualifies for the theme?

Great drumming by Ross MacFarlane, who was playing with the Big Dish last week.

We seem to be drifting slightly off theme: so here goes

I'm going with John Lawler aka John Fratelli

Begging Bowl Blues - Codeine Velvet Club this is a truly excellent record - don't worry Bryan, it's not really bluesy.

Always happy to hear k.d. but can we have something other than Constant Craving... ..Perfect Word... The Air That I Breathe.. Season Of Hollow Soul..

Laughing Lenny too... not that we'll be hearing Alexandra Leaving after my not unreasonable observation that Rufus Wainright's songs and voice did exhibit a certain dirge mentality.

More such word play from your favourite Quite Interesting game show: Originally, the fruit we name for its red/yellow colour was "A Norange" and was green.


But back to the theme, with predictable suggestions:
* The Bard of Barking (whose first name is Stephen anyway) - A Lover Sings
* Roger Keith Barrett-fronted Pink Floyd - Bike
* Derek William Dick-fronted Marillion - Incommunicado
* James Ure-fronted Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
* Graham McPherson-fronted Madness - Michael Caine (a 2fer there, more if you include M.Barso, Chas Smash, Chrissy Boy, Bedders, Woody & Kix)

Yes, the Fratellis count. Flathead please.

happy to endorse Codeine Velvet Club, whom joe-k and I have suggested many a time

or just to throw another spanner in

Santo Domingo - Jon Fratelli

don't suppose this'll get a play since no-one's heard of them, but the lead singer's called Graeme Macdonald 's known as Squirrel and I think the song's great

Falter Discover -

the lead singer, Graeme Macdonald is known as squirrel - where's the proof-reader?
