Morning Simon and everyone, especially CornishDairyFewins!



SYLVIA'S MOTHER ~ Dr Hook would be good today please Simon



I saw Dennis Locorriere the other day and he said he's going to be

on your show sometime this week and he's still sounding good!!



Thanks Simon

There was me talking to myself on the previous blog- no change there!



Good Morning 'Man In A Dressing Gown'!



Please would you consider any of the following:



MOTHER'S TALK by TEARS FOR FEARS

Anything from THE MAMA'S AND PAPA's -DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE praps?

MOTHER AND CHILD REUNION by PAUL SIMON



Many thanks, Mcwx

Talking of nonsense from politicians(see end of yesterday's blog) I believe they're dragging Blair out to do a speach today in which he will castigate the Tories for failing to re-build the party in the way New Labour did.



Hmm, it seems Gordon Clown hasn't been keeping him updated on the Unite relationship.

Mama by Genesis please. The last worthy tune in the G canon (to these ears anyway).

#3 And what a sound economy Britain has thanks to New Labour and our previous Chancellor, now unelected PM!



I go back to my point about getting more sense out of a stick of forced rhubarb!

#5 No point in getting my knickers in a twist, gets very uncomfortable and makes me walk funny!

Morning All,



Don't get me started on politics. If Labour win the next election, I'm emigrating - it's that bad! Enough...

Prince - Sexy MF.

Happy Tuesday!



Nic



P.S. Love rhubarb...

P.P.S. Which reminds me of one of my favourite Sir Geoffrey Boycott sayings "I could play 'im wi' a stick a rhubarb"

Good Morning Each! I notice from the tail end of the last blog, that there has been talk of rhubarb. So, lets have a bit of Cream to go with it.

'Mothers Lament', please Simon, always worth a chuckle.

Nic, I am really worried that they will win. With hardly any industry to speak of, and a country full of public sector workers and benefit seekers, turkeys don't vote for Christmas!



Have a son studying mechanical engineering at Nottingham and a daughter who wants to be a vet- both are looking to go abroad for eventual jobs!



Hey ho!

When did this blog become a forum for political espousements. Come on chaps and chappesses, we dunna want to fall out.

You are right Paul, lets get back to the music and (if we have to) football!

#7 Clarkson wrote a funny piece in the Sunday Times a few months ago where he worked out that there was actually nowhere else left on the planet where Brits were either welcome or safe.



So good luck trying to find somewhere to go :-)

Morning all



#9

I am grateful that we have the ability to freely vote for our politicians, but I'm so underwhelmed by all parties at the moment, that I'm tempted not to bother this time.



Song for tonight - "Mother's Little Helper" - Rolling Stones. Possibly the first (and last) time I will ever request a track by them!



Tortie x

I dont want to upset Tricky, so that's another subject I'll steer clear of for a bit.(A bit) Anyway, he's got more ammunition than I have. ;-)

I was hoping that the lovely Rev would read the few lyrics that I put up on yesterdays blog, and suggest that song, but he doesn't seem to be arond, so I will go for it my sen.(Sheffieldese...it's catching)



'Baker Street Muse (Mother England Reverie)' by Jethro Tull, please Simon.

# 18

I think correct Sheffieldese would be "mi sen"!



No Tull please!

Seeing as it is back again on Friday how about:



ASHES TO ASHES by DAVID BOWIE

Thought of another one or two:



LOOK MAMA by HOWARD JONES



LADY MADONNA by THE BEATLES

Last one and then I must go:



MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME By TOM JONES and THE STEREOPHONICS



See you later!

#19 Tortie, Line 1. Of course, you are perfectly correct, but I still hold on to a little bit of Derby.



Line 2. WHAT??!?

Mama Kin - Aerosmith.



Talking of them, is Tyler in or out at the moment? I thought he was in from the advert I saw for upcoming festival apeparance, but Simon's conversation with Paul Rogers yesterday seemed to suggest he was out.

Erm, sloppy handover song, anyone? 'My Mothers Eyes" by Bette Midler.

#12 Ken - New Zealand.



Haven't had a James suggestion for a while but Hey Ma is a particularly fine song, albeit not to everyone's taste lyrically.



Nic

#24



What do you mean, "what"??! ?

A better handover song would be " I'll Tell Me Ma". Lots of versions available, Van Morrison, The Chieftans, The Dubliners...

#28 What do you mean, what do I mean,"what"??!? ?

#30



Was it a "what, you don't like the Stones"?! or "what have you requested that song for?" (yes, I know the latter is gramatically incorrect!)

It was a WHAT??!? to

No Tull please!

I can only assume that you accidentally touched the 'n' and 'o' keys. :-)

I appear to be stuck in handover song mode. What about 'Mammy Blue' by Roger Whittaker?

#32



It was no accident! : )

#34 Tuh, you've done it again. :-)

Does your mother know? ABBA

Take your mother out tonight Scissor Sisters

Mama I love you Spice Girls

Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

WHAT??!! Sorry, I mean what?



I second #1 mi sen - SYLVIA'S MOTHER by DR. HOOK, as I suggested on yesterday's blog (ahem...)

#40 Hey up Spikearoonie!!!!

Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

#41 QUICK someone, pass me a needle and thread, me sides have split asunder!

Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

Mama told me not to come - excellent choice but PLEASE not the Tom Jones / Stereophonics version. Give us the Three Dog Night version. It is much better.

#43 what kind, Tupperware? Oh no, silly me, more like hardware or software...



;-)

Schoolboy error? Have we missed YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW by THE FAB FOUR? Great video available etc....

" I'm living in shame" Diana Rosss and the Supremes

..Slade "Mama we're all crazy now"



Rolf Harris "I've lost my mummy" and he is 80 today too :-)

Afternoon everyone



My choices for today are:



"Take your mama out" Scissor Sisters

"Mother and child reunion" Paul Simon

"Does your mother know" Abba



and one I just thought of:



"Lady Madonna" Beatles



I see a few other people have also suggested some/all of the above. Does that mean we're less likely to get a mensh?



Deebee X

#48 that Rolf Harris song used to make me cry. Yes really - I was VERY young at the time.

#50 Maybe he he was saving "Two little boys" from last week when it was suggested to this Thursday!!!



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

Hi gang



Just a quickie before I fly out for yet another bloomin' job interview ..

Thank you.



I'll be back later. Promise, not threat!!



Deevs

#51 I hope not - I shall be forced to turn the radio off!



#52 Good luck Deevs



Tortie x

Good afternoon.



U2 - Mothers Of The Disappeared

Gong - Magick Mother Invocation

Jethro Tull - Mother Goose



or



India.Arie - Great Grandmother

or is other day



P ayre

afternoon all!



Probably way too late formy choices, so i will have to rely on my tweets this morning, which were;



TAKE YOUR MAMA OUT by SCISSOR SISTERS



and



YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE by POISON - a great show opener.



Thanks Paul for not mentioning last night's result - I knew we were going to lose, and had already resigned myself (mi sen?) to the playoffs...

#49 - I suppose with the number of peope on the blog, and assuming only 10% of Simon's Twitter followers (2446) make a suggestion, the chances of a mensh are slim at best, so I guess we should all be happy when one of our songs get played...

#55 But I did mention it on yesterday's blog.....sorry!

oooooo -



MOTHER OF VIOLENCE by PETER GABRIEL



or





MOTHER RUSSIA by RENAISSANCE



Please Simon!!!!

So did I spikerooney! :-)

I hope Direby win on Saturday. Couldn't bear it if Cov only got close to play-offs. Plus, then we can all be miserable Midlanders together next season! I tip Swansea for play-off winners.



What's the relevance to Mothers? Well, as far as I know, my Mum never went to Swansea.

#60 Cut and paste, what a fine invention. Post#60, now making a guest appearance on my fb page.

Anyway, back to pester power. Could you please, please play "Mothers Lament" by Cream. Please, Simon.(I'm hoping that making 'Please, Simon' a sentence in its own right, that the entreaty is given more prominence, as it were)

So, that's 'Mothers Lament' by Cream. Please, Simon. Please, Simon.

Please.

5 in a row

#65 CDFMSDOSINSM obviously wasn't booted up to interrupt your splednid effort.

I'm currently managing the traffic around Spaghetti Junction and playing chess with Deep Blue.



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

Mother of Violence, good choice Spike. I love the second album, in fact as a whole I think it's my favourite of his solo efforts. White Shadow, great song.

#68 I'm a-gonna burn me some vinyl right now, y'all hear? (Sorry, reading a Lee Childs book at the mo) - great reminder of a "lost" albumen in my vast collection (less than 5% of which are live, btw...) - found it on a video site (others, etc...)



Thanks KJ, and I hope Boro' get promoted.

#69 What's wrong with Forest gettign promoted? ;-)

ooooooo, that guitar solo on White Shadow is so sublime.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum never met Robert Fripp.

#70 I refer the honourable gentleman to a statement I made earlier (#60, sentence 3)

Afternoon all,

Simon, if it isn't too risque, how about a burst from the WHO, with



SQUEEZE BOX



(Mama's got a squeeze box, she wears on her chest, and when Daddy comes home, he never gets no rest.....)



Heh, heh ;-)

#73 oooooo, you little minx, you!

Thanks Spike. Four and a half hours to go and strangely I'm starting to get feelings of tension which I didn't even get on the last day of the regular season last year, when it was touch and go whether we even made the playoffs. I think it must be because I really believe we can do it this time around. Who said "it's only football"? Fool :-)

#74 I know, but all done in the best possible taste! (Crosses legs...)

#68 No doubt, KJ, you've got the rare German live import albumen, with the fledgling version of Indigo, vocoder vocals and all.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum never wore Indigo clothes given to her by a German.

#76 check your spelling, I think you'll find it's spelled PAAAAAAAAASSSSIBULLLL.



Spednid effort all the same



;-)



.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum never failed to cross her legs. Well, only twice....

#77 Nope. I did once have a cassette of the live bootlegged show (from the Roxy I think?) with a storming cover of "All Day and All of the Night". That was much played and worn out in my student days.

# 18 Back, Paul, back....been to school this morning then meeting with Archdeacons...got lost on the way home....now loads to do.



SIMON - I can't get "YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW" off my brain so you'll just have to play it as a number of us have suggested it...and didn't Mums know everything!

It's funny, I saw the 4th album show (at Hammersmith) and the Growing Up tour at Wembley. But the one I wish I'd seen was the Secret World show, and I decided not to go to that because I just didn't fancy Earls Court as a venue.

On the football front I was gratified to see my team win at West Ham on Saturday....but had to sit on my hands when Fuller scored since we were surrounded by disillusioned Hammers' fans....so I wonder what the chances are that they will replace one of your teams...!?

#79 You're not still a student??!!!



.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum was a student (pupil in those days) - and I have a picture of her aged 6 in a beautiful classroom, full of nothing but desks, paper, pens, ink wells, exercise books and learning.

#81 me too! We must have shared his presence on at least one occasion. Earls Court is p*nts for gigs, though did hugely enjoy The Foos there a foo years back.(see what I did there, etc...)

#84 sorry, too hasty .....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum never ever saw Led Zepp at Earls Court, which was my most disappointing gig ever.

Oooh, might I ....

Fiver?

#87 Yip, Yip, and a wee Yibblesque momentaciousness* there!



*®

I've never been tempted by Earls Court. I really hate all those barns, ever since trogging up to the NEC to see Genesis on the Mama tour. Sitting half-way back on the side I had the PA system at the front hitting the right ear, and the speakers hanging from the roof half way back echoing off the back wall into the left ear a fraction of a second later. It was horrible, the place should be burned down (Note: not an invitation).

#89 So, fave venue? (apart from a field, of course)



.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum was born in a field, in the Cotswolds.

Hammersmith Apollo I guess. The best compromise between sound quality and a largish show.

#90 - I love the Nottingham Royal Centre - seen so many bands there (including Def Leppard, the first rock band to play there, the first band to use pyros there, and the first to set the front two rows of the audience on fire!) - but my absolute favourite has to be Rock City, Nottingham. Sticky carpet and a mosh pit to die for!

#91 Big Ditto there! And nice architecture.



Royal Albert Hall takes some beating though...



.....and the relevance of that to the Mother theme is that my mum's middle name was not Albert

Fave venue? Cleo's in Derby, until the bloomin' council pulled it down. The last band I saw there was a bunch called Yackety Yak. See if you can guess the genre. The band prior to those (The night before) was Medicine Head.

RAH is great from the right seats. Emmylou was brilliant there. Van Morrison fantastic from almost side on to the stage in the late 80s. But I twice saw All About Eve from right up the top and it was very echoey.



And I saw Yes there 2 or 3 tours ago, also from up top, and I enjoyed the Bournemouth BIC show a week or so earlier more.

here we go everyone!

NOOOOO!!!!!!!

It's another DeeBee choice!

Menshes all round - and off the blog too. Well done Philippa and Deebs!

Anyone else getting fed up with this song yet? I keep thinking I;'m in Starbucks!
