I think my favourite song with Blue in the title
indeed it IS the title, is "Blue" by Sarah Vaughan and Barry Manilow. What's yours?

Has to be Blue by Joni Mitchell, surely?
Eddie,
"Blue Bonnets Over the Border". Altogether now...
Ha! Only managed to read the title by going to the page listing all the titles 'cos has a big 'PM' all over it otherwise, even when highlighted!
My favourite song with blue in is 'Blue Moon' - we sang it at a friends' wedding last year in the Reg. Office. I also like 'I see a Blue Moon rising' but I don't know who sang it, and i'm not sure if that's the title or just the first line?
Yay! Thanks Marc NBP normal service is resumed!!
"I'm a Pink Toothbrush, you're a Blue Toothbrush" by Max Bygraves and also "Blue Monday" by the New Orders.
Both classics, and so alike :)
Hi Eddie,
I think 'Rhapsody in Blue' lead by horns, you know with a fairly sultry but sassy feel to it. That's one of my fave tunes.
Mwah!
Oooh, tricky.
A sample of personal favouites;
Walkin' Blues; Robert Johnson
San Francisco Bay Blues; Clapton Unplugged
Suite:Judy Blue Eyes; Crosby, Stills & Nash
Overall, the latter gets the vote.
Si.
GM;
'Bad Moon Rising' by Creedence Clearwater?
Si.
andyCroak at 5?
Did you know that song sold over a million?
Toothbrushes I mean not records :-)
I guess, overall, it'd be Rhapsody in Blue.
Though of course that's not a song.
Okay, try again.
I'll plump for Blue Moon of Kentucky, sung by Ray Charles. Or Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis (you'd look good in those, Eddie!)
Ah! Si (8) that song without blue in the title!! Yes that's the one...oooops!!
Love me or Leave Me by Nina Simone is going round in my head, only because of the wonderful line about being 'independently blue'. I know, tangental but it is Wednesday :)
Moody Blue (by Elvis) seems somehow appropriate, or given our technical problems this morning, The Battle of the Blue and Grey by the Bee Gees, or even I'm in Love with A Big Blue Frog by Peter Paul and Mary.
Whistle Stop Blues, an as-yet unrecorded song by yours truly.
If I ever work up the nerve to perform it, you'll be the first to know....
Fifi
"Blue Monday" by New Order. Marvellous.
Does the recovery mean I'm allowed back from the naughty corner then?
"Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue?" and "Blue Monday" spring to mind.
Eek! I've just noticed the strapline! Only my second one ever. And utterly truthful too, by the way.
How about Fergus sings the blues by Deacon Blue or Little blue by The Beautiful South.
OR
How Long, How Long Blues.
Everyday I Have the Blues.
(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue.
Goin' to Chicago Blues.
Blues for a Four-String Guitar.
St. Louis Blues all from the album:
Black & Blue & Tobacco Road by Lou Rawls.
That man is definately blue, indeed I don't think you could find an album with more blues in the titles than that and believe me I looked! I have a lengthy Health & Safety report to write for the ISO manual and as a consequence I am loosing the will to live!!
Aperitif (17) are you sure? I always have Paul O'Grady on with the sound down. I hear he does the same with me.
Appy (16) I was going to say that if the recovery didn't, then the use of the strapline did; but I noticed that you saw it (17). Welcome back.
H.
PS Any double-entendres in the above message are totally unintentional. I am innocent. Honest!
Eddie: LOL!
Paul O'Grady doesn't know what he's missing [nor, most probably, does he care]
"Love is Blue" (Paul Mauriat?)
That's my 6/8d worth on this topic.
'somewhere over the rainbow' - is that going to count?!
n-n
xx
(17) See my comment under Blue Blog.
P.S. Should there not be a gap between 鈥24.鈥 and 鈥淎t 05:32 PM on鈥?
Oh, I like 鈥楤lue Light鈥.
Vyle - 22 - Oh that song takes me back some!! And I remember when you could buy 3 records for a pound, very satisfying.
doh!
stuck a selection on the previous thread.
ah well, wherever I lay my post, that's their home...
[ahem]
Hahaha - quite certain Eric (19). Even the sight of Mr O'Grady is too loud.
Welcome back Doc (24), as noted elsewhere. :-)
