Are Friends Electric?

Is It A Crime?

Daddy, Where Did I Come From?

"96 Tears", ? and the Mysterians. Surely?

Are You Going With Me? - Pat Metheny Group



But that's got no chance, so "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" by Elvis is the only other one that springs readily to mind.



Morning all.

#5 Great call, but as you say....

The interesting thing with today's topic is that general grammatical sloppiness means that some songs which should be contenders aren't. "Would I Lie To You" (Whitesnake) sprang to mind but I don't think it has a question mark. Probably just as well, it's not their finest work.

Let's be radical...oh...good morning everyone out there...as I was saying..Simon, how's about "Are you for real?" by Question Mark and the Mysterians - a catchy little tune with some nice Hammond and guitar in it.

And because we have to have a Radiohead non-contender, how about not playing "You And Whose Army?" Meanwhile, Prefab Sprout have never recorded a song with a ? in the title.

Simon - what about a Biffy Clyro hit "Who's got a match?" - great track to start the prog off.

I can't think of Biffy Clyro without hearing Peter Serafinowicz doing his El Tel impersonation....thanks for the ear worm there Revster...

My pleasure Spike....

#12 Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

What about the pussycat thingy tune by Tom Jones?

Must go off and do some work in a second but I shall be very disappointed Spike old fruit, if one of us doesn't get a mensh today...we're really working very hard already..

#7 What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

QUESTION - MOODY BLUES



"Why do we never get an answer

When we're knocking at the door? ...."





Cheaty, maybe, but a fine pacey track to kick off the show..



.. and g'mornin to all blogpopsters. My cough/cold nearly gone. Who's a-suffering still?

Simon - your email addy above is incorrecto old chumster....

#17 Be, I'b sufferig....(Ban floo)

Morning all -



"WOULD I LIE TO YOU?" by The EURYTHMICS please Simon - you know it makes sense!



Cheers,



Kev

Morning all,



Probably wont catch the show today, but how about "Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost late at night?" Lonnie Donegan!!



Or Who's that Girl? another Eurythmics classic?



Have a good day one and all,



Mcw x

Morning All (Bornig Spike),



I endorse #1 and #9 (Spike, we must stop agreeing like this!)

Watched Man Utd last night and recorded Brits - liberally using the FF facility - Peter Kay was superb (especially his comment on Liam Gallagher), glad Kasabian and Florence won something but the rest was utter drivel.



Not Grumpy at all Nic :O)))

How about Is She Really Going Out With Him? Joe Jackson..........



H

Surely "Fireflies" has a question mark in its title? I mean, imagine you were playing music on the radio and had the pick of millions of brilliant songs with which to aurally titillate your listeners - and you were told to play "Fireflies?"



I rest my case....

#16 - I'm going to have to pin my colours to the mast of Sir Spike of Worsleyshire with "WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY KENNETH?" for tonight's show.



Cheers!

#22 I think you'll find that's pronounced "bordig"



At the risk of agreein' wit' u agen, bro' Nic, isn't Sky+/Virgin+ just the biz? I hardly ever watch "live" TV any more, and delight in bypassing all the crud that gets thrown my way.....

#23 That. Is. A. Good. Call. Helen. ?

Morning Blogpoppets, Bordig Spike and Deevs



I'll go with #23 for tonight's opener, although I don't know why we bother, we bloggers seem to be ignored at the moment!



Nic - what did Peter Kay call Liam Gallagher? I missed the first hour, was catching up with Being Human.



Tortie x

#29 Womble alert!

How are the teeth Tortie? And does MTF visit?



Where's Ticketymissingboo?

Morning all, bordig Spike (you haven't popped in next door yet).



Missed the Brits, what did Peter Kay call Liam G? I expect a liberal use of asterisks is in order.



As for the first tune tonite, as usual I am going to jump on somebody else's bandwagon and go with .........

# 30

why Womble alert?



# 31

Teeth are good thanks Spike. No need for MTF to visit thankfullly

Spike - Yes the Sky+ is great, especially now with HD. The only things I/we watch live are sport!

Ref the Peter Kay comment, he said "What a" followed by 2 other words, the first being what you have an a door, the second being what sits on your shoulders. The timing, as ever, was superb. Alos liked the "Sale must end Sunday" comment every time he mentioned JLS...



Nic

#34 That should have been for last night when Vinnie Jones was on given his Wimbledon connections, (hides quickly before Spike notices Darren has some knowledge about football).

A quick hello everybody while the boss is in a meeting (ooh - aren't I getting naughty..)



How about "Why, oh why, oh why?" by Gilbert O'Sullivan?



#8 being a Top Gear fan, the phrase "some nice Hammond" means something quite different to me..... ;-)

Thanks for the Peter Kay reference - took me a while to work it out. I liked the comments he made about LadyGaGa too! We're going to see him at the Sheffield Arena in November.

Tortie - Ah, the tour that doesn't tour tour - on tour!



Nic

#41 glass houses, stones....?

#40 OK CDF, come out of hiding now....

#40 I've never heard of any of these. Are they made up?



;)

#44, yes but at least Nic has a chance of his name being mentioned. Whereas our other friend.......

# 43 That's the one Nic! I think he added additional dates due to demand.

#40 sorry to split hairs, but only about 5 of those songs actually have question marks against them. And "How much has that doggie in the window" has two - isn't that cheating?



I have a good party trick - I can sing "How much has that doggie in the window" all the way through backwards, starting with "window that in doggie that is much how" Doesn't really work on a blog though...



Really MUST get on with some work now.

Spike - Re user names, it's Titbits Vs Readers' Wives!



Nic

#49 Ah, but is the music also backwards?

#40 "hen will I see you again?" - is that also known as The Birdie Song?

#49. Morning Deebs,bordig Zbike, morning everyone. Window The In Doggie That Is Much How. I have a vague recollection of reading a write up of this very song (Sung backwards like this) and recorded by who knows who. The article would have been in "Disc", before it amalgamated with Record Mirror, and I went scurrying to the shops for a listen, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Never heard it then, or since. So, if you're willing to oblige...

Actually, there's an idea for Rev and the Blesspoppets first single, a charity choon with Deebs on guest vocals (Unless you want the gig full time, Deebee). Ooh, Peter Kay could do the vid.

#53 Just reminded me - I have several copies of the original NME, Sounds and Melody Maker in the loft, along with suitcases full of clippings from such papers about my 30 or so favourite bands of the times. Moi, nerdy??

Haaa... Spike's TWEETING. How very dare you?

Post #40 ...



... now THAT just takes the fun out of it :)





However, brings to mind last season at our local pub Music Quiz - very popular weekly event. Then, some witless bozo, who wasn't in a team, decided it might be clever to google on his Blackberry throughout, then shout out the answer to all who could hear.





PS. Really hope that wasn't posted by a regular blogpoppet in disguise. Do not wish to offend ....

Rev - look on YToob - there's a version of Doggie In The Window by Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond (steady on there Deebs, double-barreled Hammond!!!)

I couldn't agree more KatyMac...#40 has left me bereft of ideas, not that this isn't a common occurance mind...

One not on that list though... Where do you go to my lovely? Peter Starstedt, apologies for spelling :)

#57 See #46, sounds like a confession to me!

#56 In the interests of research m'lud....

#40 ? key broken?

Have you ever seen the rain? Credence Clearwater Revival is another...

Re post #40 - he/she has missed out LOADS! Come on blogpoppets - fill in the blanks....

Evening All,

What have I missed ?

Not a song suggestion, more of a question really ???



Tickety

Ah, there you are Ticketyitsokwevefoundherboo!



Well, you could start by reading the above....

Does "Why" by the sainted Annie of Lennox, have a question mark in the title ??

Or the Carly Simon's Why?

Ello, tis I LaDiva!



Toon: Are Friends Electric? - Tubeway Army



pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez Simon!



Brits: no Take That for Best Band???? Scandalous to say the least. 2009 WAS the year of the circus - the album, the tour ..... to not even get a nomination was just insulting,IMO.



Chuffed for Florence + The Machine tho.



Lunchtime now .... bck inabit!



Deevski Ga Ga

#69 Took The Gal to The Circus at Wembley as a surprise - I expected nowt and was blown away! Fabbing great show!



As for toon - get with it girl and see # 1....



;-)

#67 #68 No

But the Bronski Beat "Why?" and the Tracy Chapman "Why?" do.....

Refer back to Lord Kenneth of Jude's #7 post

Back.



#54 I'd be delighted to join your band. Do you want an audition? Okay, here goes: *takes deep breath*



?Window that in doggie that is much how

Tail waggily the with one the

?Window that in doggie that is much how

Sale for doggie's that hope do I

#72 Well, you lost it a bit in the middle there, and you seemed to start rather nervously, getting your words slightly wrong, but by the end, you were really nailing it, and I'd like to hear some more, so it's a YES from me. :-)

#73 Thanks Mr Cowell Sir

LOL Deebee #70



My dad used to sing backwards - I mean, REALLY backwards. I suppose his version would go something like ..



?Wodniw eht ni eiggod taht si hcum woh

Liat yliggaw eht htiw eno eht .. etc



quite Klingon-esque, ness pa?

Took me AGES to type that

#72 This is the reason we have this show, you have exactly what it takes, and I have no idea why I am sitting here at the end of this pointless table with my pathetic syrup and lopsided smirk *audience talks over*....

Did anyone catch that really funny comedy show last night? The Brits - as commentated by Simon on Twitter. Yes I know tweeting is a dirty word to bloggers, but you had to be there. Laugh? I nearly dropped my laptop. He was hilarious! I kept reading bits out to my kids, who rolled their eyes and shushed - teenagers, huh! Although my daughter did raise a smile at the Lady Gaga references. Which I can't repeat here, as I might get modded... (naughty, naughty Simon!)

#76...THAT ... took me no time at all.

#75 This is the reason we have this show, you have exactly what it takes, and I have no idea why I am sitting here at the end of this pointless table with my pathetic syrup and lopsided smirk *audience talks over*....

#77 well it's been a journey, you know.. But I felt I really "owned" that song

#81 ah, but what's the "angle"? Are you on benefits or do you have a learning difficulty or bushy eyebrows or a dog with an incurable digestive disorder or do you support Stevenage Borough?

#82 I used to have a dog with bushy eyebrows - does that count?

*chuckling at 78, 79, 80 & 81 plus anything that's appeared since I refreshed *



Deebee - don't forget how much you 'want this SOOOOO much ... and you're living the dream'





BTW - interesting stuff over on CLP blog - re Abbey Road

#83. Depends on whether it was ever in a window or not

#78

Deebee - re Brit Twittering - I think it was Caitlin Moran or maybe Grace Dent who tweeted that Lady Gaga came dressed as Miss Havisham's entire house ...

#85 we have a window by our stairs, and he used to spend quite a lot of time sitting halfway up and barking everytime anyone went past. As does the dog we've got now. Definitely NOT for sale though - at any price!

Paul in Sheff - you're on form today. Lol.

#86 LOL!

Does "Will you" by Hazel O'Connor have a question mark ? If so, that's my offering.



Tickety

#90 Oh yeah - we're here to choose a song. I'd forgotten that in all the excitement. Thanks for getting us back on track, Tickety.

You crack on DeeBee !!



I'm off out now with my dogs, (not in windows or for sale either....)



....though your rendition was thoroughly moving, it has to be said. reminded me of early Gracie...



Tickety

#87 "Halfway Up The Stairs Is The Stair Where He Sits, There Isn't Any Other Stair Quite Like It, It's Not At The Bottom, It' Not......" On second thoughts, lets leave that well alone. We appear to have wandered off on a distinctly odd tangent. Seeing as I cant think of anything by "Tangent"rine Dream, with Question Marks in it, I'll be off. Good luck, each.

Top blogging people! Never watched Pop X Factor thingy but feel I know it already...

Peter Kay for Prime Minister! (Come on, he can't do a worse job than the current job holder...)



Nic

#90 Ah, TicketyIrememberthatCoventrylasswhostarredinBreakingGlassboo



No

#95



Pants.

#94 Brilliant idea Nic! I'd vote for him.

#94 with Lord Mayo and His Bobness of Harris as joint Ministers of Music

Can't keep up with all this tecnological stuff...I've just tweeted Imogen Heap.
