Or...



'Let It Grow' by Eric Clapton



' Where The Wild Roses Grow' by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue. (Dribble, slurp)



'In Bloom' by Nirvana.

Seems to be a tad quiet this morning. I have a feeling that Kev might be lurking, and about to pounce to reclaim the Hat Of Unsuitable Blogginess.



If ANYONE sees him armed with a copy of The Floral Dance, try to restrain him.

"rose garden" Lynn Anderson

"an English country garden" Nana Mouskouri

"sunflower" Paul Weller

Flowers In The Rain - The Move



by the middle of the week the blooms will be gagging for some rain - methinks it'll be a wilty Chelsea this year!



Deevs

"flowers in the window" Travis

"Chelsea Dagger " The Fratellis

True Colours my daughter wants the glee cast version but if it does get played can we have the Cyndi Lauper version please

Morning Simon,



I would love to hear LADY ROSE by MUNGO JERRY

Or



SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE by TEARS FOR FEARS



Mcw x

I have tweeted





KISS FROM A ROSE - SEAL





because IMO it's a beautiful track

Or how about GOLD by SPANDAU BALLET?

*nips in quickly to suggest....*



BLUE ROSES by PREFAB SPROUT (not the Jimmy Nail version, but sung by the writer Sir Paddy of McAloonshire), kind of fits the Chelski theme also....

Two of my fave songs ever recorded:-







IRIS - THE GOO GOO DOLLS



or



ENGLISH ROSE - THE JAM

BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP by THE FOUNDATIONS







Failing that, THE FLORAL DANCE, (unoffical Cornish anthem).



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)

LILAC WINE by JEFF BUCKLEY





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)

Its been played before and I have a feeling it will be played again tonight:



TIPTOE THROUGHT THE TULIPS by TINY TIM



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)

or...



'Carnation' by either Oasis or The Jam



'Sweet Leaf' by Black Sabbath



'Petunia The Gardeners Daughter' by Elvis Presley

#17 Although Deebee has suggested another version of this song and I wish to support her in all of her endevours, I can't help thinking the jeff Buckley version is the better of the two.



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)

afternoon all!



Been up to London for a meeting. Out for lunch at the mo so I thought i would pop in.



How about



LAVENDER BLUE by MARILLION?



Cheers,



Kev

and Paul, I think you'll find CDF had taken up the chapeau of shame in Tweeting the floral dance!

Afternoon All



My suggestions for flower songs, which I tweeted earlier are:



"Flowers in the window" by Travis (good choice there, psl!)

"Lilac Wine" by Elkie Brookes



#17 I would actually love to hear the Jeff Beck/Imelda May version. I bought the album after hearing Jeff Beck on Drivetime, and I have to say it's brilliant. I've been listening to it a lot this weekend. Strange really - it's not the type of music I normally go for, more Mr Bee's kind of thing.



Sorry I couldn't be here earlier by the way. Actually, I could have been on first - I had a brief look at about 10 o'clock to see what the theme was, but didn't have time to post anything as it's been a bit manic at work today. Just about managed to tweet my suggestions while I was waiting for the photocopier to do two copies of 91 job applications. Did I mention that I'm going on holiday on Saturday.....



Deebee X

#22 Yes. I noticed that he had done it on here as well, but in all fairness to CDF, he is one of the few that could have a legitimate reason for asking for that song. He is, after all, Kerackers.

So why you picking on me, Paul? Is it cos I is from Nottingham?

#23 - going anywhere nice?



For info, I probably won't be a round for a couple of weeks from Wednesday. I am taking time off work whilst my wife sorts out her London residence (the last tenant moves out on Wednesday so I will be on fetching / carrying / childminder, etc. until 14th June...the upside is I may be able to find time to call R2 on ARF...

right, back into meetings I go - see you later!

#26 Turkey. And good luck with the call - I was thinking the other day that none of us blogpoppets had ever been on, although I think MTD tried when she was stuck in some far flung place. Make sure you give us all a mensh if you get through. By names, obviously....

2 hrs 30 too long for a gig? I've been to gigs where 2hrs 30 wasn't long enough! Pretty sure the Yes symphonic tour was over that on the nights when they played Gates of Delirium and every minute was majestic.



The Cure's Disintegration tour last night at Wembley Arena must have gone on for 3 hours or even more with all the encores. I can't be sure of the exact length as me and my brother had to leave before the end as our lift had been outside waiting for more than an hour! (My car had packed up as we were about to head to Wembley). However long it was, it flew by.



Probably Simon's right though. For the last few years I've been more than happy with a 90 minute set by the headliner. Maybe Richie Blackmore was right the night he refused to come back on stage after 70 minutes and Rainbow fans ripped out seats in protest. Apparently 70 minutes was within the terms of the contract, although it seems a little tight-fisted to me.

#25.Ah, Nottingham. Nottingham, Nottingham, Nottingham. A city that has fond memories for me. Particularly, 23rd February 2009, 4th February 2009, 30th October 1971. I could go on, but the point is I don't need to pick on you, Kev, I have some black and white clad friends to do that. Perhaps, when you return to your old stomping ground, one day, we might meet up and have a pint or two. How do you feel about Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem. (But don't touch the boat, eh?)

I'm just going to tip toe back out again before anyone notices I've been lurking - it's all very highbrow, musically speaking, on this here blog.



*closes the door v quietly before sighing heavily*



Gailyb - who didn't drop by

#31 Come back Gailyb - we're not all highbrow... you're very welcome to lower the tone. Saves me having to!

*popping head round door, gingerly* aw thanks Deebee. I'll be back but can't stay at the mo, it's home time for me and that's when the stresses really begin fitting in school runs, after school activities and general domestic engineering.



I'm very good at lowering the tone, I've been complimented on my ability to attain new levels of tone lowering.



Have a fabby afternoon everyone.



Toodle-oo for noo.



Btw, MCW - have you deserted t'other side? Haven't seen you at CLP's gaffe for a while. x

Afternoon,



There are some very good suggestions above, especially Let It Grow suggested by Paul. Maybe for a runner up though:-



SAN FRANCISCO (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair) by Scott McKenzie



and just to lower the tone somewhat....



ROSIE by Don Partridge



Have a nice day y'all,

Dave

I saw Natalie Merchant too! I was one of the devoted: during the requests bit I was rather hoping someone would hand her the phone book to sing, as I could gladly listen all night. I thought she was wonderful: the voice of a miracle. The 10,000 Maniacs song "Eden" has a reference to flowers, as does "Stockton Gala Days". Or maybe you could just play "Life is Sweet", which has no flowers but is beautiful anyway?

Cant believe it no one has suggested Paper Roses - Marie Osmond

#36 aka paper woses!

Thanks Simon- can't beat a bit of Tears for Fears! No mensh but I don't mind. x

How about 'Flowers In Our Hair' by All About Eve. They also did an excellent cover of 'The Garden of Jane Delawney' by Trees.



Mat

I thought that in every job there is to be done there is an element of fun, you find the fun and SNAP the job's a game... cue birds singing on the windowsill and toys hopping round the room.



BTW, I've just texted Simon an idea that the 3 word descriptions of the day should be called a "THREET". Waddaya think?



Also BTW, thanks Simon for the Mensh just before 18:00.



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 All,



Been out and about today so no chance to post, but have read all the suggestions are there are some very fine ones, heard most of the show in the car and enjoyed.



Hope the day has been good for everybody



David
