Al.

Wonderous Stories - Yes

well, it's a wee while since there was such a perfect fit.

Ali Baba - Dreadzone which covers a number fo Nursery Rhymes and is an enormously good fun listen.




From the wonderful 'Biological Radio' album - those who have Spotify have a listen to the album there.

If this isn't in the library, I can deliver a cd or alternatively there is an older reggae version by John Holt - some other reggae artists have also covered it - but the Dreadzone version is my favourite.

#25 Not a fan of Bowie's version then?

White Rabbit: Jefferson Airplane
Jumping Jack Flash: The Rolling Stones
Crooked Man: Steve Knightley
The Prince: Madness
Queen of Heats: The Unthanks
Old Man: Neil Young or The Waillin' Jennys do a superb cover (This Old Man)
Cinderella Search: Marillion

THEME SUGGESTION: Tracks played over the CLOSING credits of films... as long as we avoid Robin Hood Prince of Thieves we should be OK...

I second all Gaie’s suggestions plus

ALICE IN BLUNDERLAND from THE SPOTLIGHT KID by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND

and

CLARENCE IN WONDERLAND from SHOOTING AT THE MOON by KEVIN AYERS AND THE WHOLE WORLD

From the guilty pleasures file:

The Land Of Make Believe -Bucks Fizz

I instinctively liked this track from the first moment I heard it, but couldn't understand why.

Years later I discovered that it was written by Pete Sinfield, he of King Crimson and producer of the first Roxy Music album, ELP, PFM etc. I later realised he's also written for Cher, Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Leo Sayer and others.

Well that's my justification.

No "Beauty and the Beast" Norrie???

"Mr Sandman" - The Chordettes


"Enter The Sandman" - Metallica

'Don't go to sleep without me' -------- The Creatures
'Beware' -------- Afghan Whigs
'The Cellar' ------- Antonio Cora
'Haunted' -------- Type O Negative

---- spookily appealing

Producer competition klaxon warning ----

Bucks Fizz scores -20

Way too lenient Rex... at the least, the toll of the death knell for this notion of self-serving bias!













Melted Easter Egg anybody!

#31 epic fail from your Bowie correspondent. Great track as well. Thanks for the reminder Adam.

Bowie - Beauty and the Beast

Norrie, see #25 / 26 also!

@ MMFC I did consider suggesting it, but reckon it would fail the max. length of track test :o)

I wonder if Labirynth counts as a fairytale?

David Bowie - Underground

would be great but not as great as Beauty and The Beast, (a number 39 hit!) which reminds me:

Stevie Nicks - Beauty and the Beast

- The Hollies - Their first single

- The Searchers - Chris Curtis loses it

- The Coasters - Original version written by members Earl "Speedo" Carroll and Billy Guy

Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry - Quotes from The Cat & The Fiddle
- The Jaynetts - Refers to Ring a Ring O' Roses, possibly referring to use of flowers as protection from the smell of the Black Death but a cheery song

#34/35

Buck's Fizz = nil points, it's way too obvious, but I still like it:-))

regardez - youse

FAERIE STORIES from FAERIE STORIES by THE PEATBOG FAERIES

A oooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's a shame Warren Zevon died before recording a second song.

There are 91 Frank Zappa albums. I rest my case.

Really? The ´óÏó´«Ã½ should be telt!

Utopia's Singring and the Glass Guitar. A bit long, but actually starts with "Once upon a time"!

Puff the magic dragon, Land of make believe, Nellie the elephant.

Looks like I missed a cracker of a show.

Shame........


How many points tonight Henri?

#57

well, there were six tracks I'd never heard before and I thought Fontella Bass, the Chordettes and Frank Sinatra were all less obvious shouts, so, 9.

Taking the best of Miss B's three apprearances this week (12) the scores now stand at:

Miss B 22

Richard 27

Mandi 30

Kirsten 21* (* one show less than the others).

If Kirsten appears tomorrow night, she might well regain her lead. If Miss B can't appear for a few days, we have two shows scores (7, 10) that we can utilise.

Half way thorugh the month, everything to play for.
