men covering women? on a teatime show? tut tut tut

FLOWERS

Wildflowers - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The Last Living Rose - PJ Harvey
Hyacinth Hotel - the Doors
Dandelion Blues - The Incredible String Band
Plastic Flowers - James Grant

what I meant to say was, last night's show - didn't enjoy all the covers by any means, some were very plodding, as if slowing down were the only way of variation from the original, but no matter, this was no standard playlist and well done for that. Especially liked the Civil Wars, James Vincent McMorrow and White Stripes. Way to go, GIO!

{:-{)}

In Search Of A Rose-The Waterboys.Saw them last night at the Concert Hall.Fantastic.
Red Red Rose-Chip Taylor
Rambling Rose-Nat King Cole
Tiptoe Through The Tulips-Tiny Tim

Freesia jolly good fellow
Anemone doo doo de doo doo.

Are the shouts for tonight on the previous threed going to count? (not for me you understand).


Do "herbs" count?


I dont think Jesus gets a fair crack of the whip on GIO.

How about playing this for him:

"Thorn in My Side" - Eurthymics

Its Easter after all.

this is a fun song...
'She Ain't Rose' - Leon Redbone (deep voice and a wee bitty yodelling too...and only a couple of minutes long)

'Thru The Flowers' - The Primitives

'Give Me Flowers While I'm Living' - Flatt and Scruggs

'Violet' - Jeremy Messersmith...good wee radio-friendly pop song

'Flowers On the wall' - The Statler Brothers

Since they played James Vincent McMorrow do you think they'll stop ignoring Antony and The Johnsons now? Very similar.

Garden of Grace - Seth Lakeman

The Only Rose - Runrig

Lilac Wine - Jeff Beck & Imelda Mae

Tift Merrit - Bramble Rose

Dylan - lily, rosemary and the jack of hearts

Bowie - pictures of lily

Well done Miss B. After last month's modest showing, you've come out with all guns blazing - a blistering 20 pointer to equal Kirsten's record and a Thing Fish track into the bargain. Now, that's what I call eclectic!

Agreed with Paulo and Gaie that many of the covers weren't that different from the original but equally, many I'd never heard before, some I really enjoyed, not least Susan Boyle - they choose some very clever material for her, I guess she wasn't a big Depeche Mode fan.

Anyway, Bryan and tonight's producer, just the one for tonight, but guaranteed it's the track of the night!

Les Fleurs - Minnie Riperton

regardez - youse

henri

PS Scotch - to whom did you award the Chocolate Egg? And have they received it? As Adam points out, it's Easter after all. I''ve got a draw for last month, and am not sure how to resolve it.

Dead Flowers - The Rolling Stones

I don't think this has ever been played on GIO before. I commend it to the hoose

DC

Sweet Pea - Tommy Roe
Daisy - Tommy Roe

#7 seconds for Flowers on the Wall, great wee number.

Rose for my Rose / Marv Johnson

Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush / Traffic

Tall Cotton / Eric Bibb

Al.

Henri,

I, too, finished with a draw, despite my scoring method differing from your own. My solution was to give all of the team one humungous CHOCOLATE EGG and let them fight each other for it.

My sources at ´óÏó´«Ã½ HQ at PQ inform me that the bell has just rung for round two.

Paolo has the odds.

If I want to hear The Eurythmics I'll ask for The Eurythmics. Thorn In My Side isn't even a reference to me, but to Paul! And don't think I missed that fair crack of the whip crack!
