Morning Simon,



Please would you consider:



Make me smile by Cockney Rebel or



Slap and Tickle by Sueeze



Many thanks, Mcw x

#1 here's that pesky 'q' for Squeeze!

Last one: TEARS OF A CLOWN by THE BEAT

OK, Darren, why doesn't Malcolm need to eat strawberries anymore?

Bring Me Sunshine by Morecambe and Wise !

Ther are recordings of songs called 'I Say' by three different artists (Happy Rhodes, Meryn Cadell and Insyderz). You could play those, one after the other. ;0)

Now this really is my last suggestion:



DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY by BOB MARLEY

Morning All



Okay, these have all already been mentioned, but I tweeted them earlier, so it's not cheating. Share and share alike...



"Laughter in the rain" Neil Sedaka

"The Joker" Steve Miller Band

"Come up and see me, make me smile" Cockney Rebel



Deebee X

I'll second MCW's Cockney Rebel - Make me Smile.



Please, Simon

PS Anyone else having problems getting onto the blog this morning? Almost everytime I refresh the page, I get re-directed to a test-card picture telling me there is a fault, so I have to start again!

Hello Everybody,



Agree with #1 MCW Squeeze, great choice,

also suggest 'I was only Joking' Rod Stewart



Hope its a good day for all



David

morning peeps



'tears of a clown' Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

I hope Simon asks David the origins of the Peter Cook quote re the lake and drowning!

Send in the Clowns - Judy Collins

#19 me too

'be young be foolish be happy' The Tamms



'happy' William Bell



a couple of good soulie tunes ;-)

'smile' Lonestar



'I was born with a smile on my face' Stephanie Sykes



'shiny happy people' REM

I Started A Joke - The Bee Gees

I second laughing gnome by david bowie.

hope everyone ok and enjoying this sunny day how long will it last.

#19 #24 me three. I've tried to have a few sneaky looks this morning (I'm supposed to be working) but it's so slow reloading.

#11 I feel I should dislike Neil Sedaka. Although I hate labels I'm afraid I have him labelled as "Easy Listening".



And yet....I listened to that "Friday Night Is Music Night" (Easy Listening by definition!)special a while back and was amazed at how many of his songs I knew. And, when you cut through the cheese and the "me, I, me" bits of the between songs chat, I quite enjoyed it.



So, I'm either doomed or getting old, but "Laughter In The Rain" is a great song and would be good to hear :-)

Afternoon all,



Looks like you've gobbled up all the choices (serves me right for having to be part of an interview panel all day today and tomorrow), so I'm going to go with



KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU (A-HA) by ABBA (Or Alan Partridge)



Cheers,



Kev

Hi Simon

You've just gotta play "The Beach Boys ~ Fun Fun Fun"

Fits your criteria perfectly.

John Morgan

Sunny Kendal

'Man On The Moon' by R.E.M. (For its Andy Kaufman links)

'Tragic Comic' by Extreme

Afternoon,



Boom Boom by JAMES please - go on, you know you want to play some JAMES, other than Sit Down or She's A Star...ah go on go on go on go on go on...ah go on...



Nic

There have been a few songs with the title 'Smile' already suggested, but I would add to those with



'Smile' by either Nat King Cole or his daughter Natalie. (Music written by Charlie Chaplin)



Try as I might, I cannot find a song with the word 'cachinnation' in the title.

#36 Keep Feeling (Cachinnation) by The Human League ? ;)

Tortie - as promised on the last blog, I have posted the link to the chilli recipe on your wall on FB.

Thanks Deebee

How about "Just a Smile" by Pilot

Hello everyone - remember me!?!



What about .....



Something For The Weekend - Divine COMEDY



Deevs



x

#41 How could we ever forget you Deevs! How's the job going?

Afternoon all - hope all are all right (or half left, as applicable). Apologies for my tardiness. What one might call a busy morning. Been absolutely flat out - hardly sat down all day (and if you believe that...)



3 word Tuesday - 'Look out America'



And I would have to support the 'Laughter in the Rain' suggestion.



Pleasant day



MP

Deevski - how could we forget you? You're a GENIUS!! Can I add to my suggestions 'National Express' by Divine Comedy too?



And can I also add to my 3 word Tuesday. Should read as follows: 'Look out America (I'm a comin'!)'

Hi Deevs



I wondered where you were - are you now gainfully full-time employed? Apologies if you've already mentioned this, I've not caught up with the past 2 weeks' blogs!

Steady on Malc! Altho I kinda like being called a Genius - it fits my Leo ego!



Tortie and Malc and Deebee, the job is going wonderfully well! For the a.m part of the day I am an administrator for a property company, and then at 2pm I change hats and turn into afternoon receptionist for the same company, so 2 x part-time jobs equating to 40 hours a week in a lovely new office block, a 5 minute walk from home. Sorted!



It's anticipated that the Administrator job will soon become full-time but it's nice having the variety half way through the day - even if it does mean twice as much to learn, given that it's 2 new roles rather than one.



And life with Nicwhodancesliketimbooth is absolutely wonderful - (look away now Nic!). He makes me so very very happy and we laugh at the daftest of things.



Life's good!



Has anybody seen Spikeydoodles lately?



Deevs



x

Deevs - so glad to hear your job is going well, and you can walk to work! I would love that. I hate driving to work.



And steady on nothing! You ARE a genius!

#46 So glad to hear things are going well for you at work and at home Deevs. Don't let Nic get too complacent though - it's good to keep a man on his toes.... ;7)



Spike's on holiday in Egypt.

#48 - I can see Spikey as the Phil Silvers character in Carry On Follow That Camel!

50?

#46 Deevs, Nice to hear job going well



David

*rushes in*



By 'eck - these be busy times





Hello Blogpopsters - top blogposting, great themed choices, good news from the Deeeva - AND we appear to be mostly gathered again. Nice.





I tweeted Simon this morning : JOYRIDE - ROXETTE



Just so's ya know :)

#46 I'm glad life's good for you Deevs. It's a nice feeling when everything goes well in life.

Sounds like you are having a blast, Deevs, two jobs, footie on the box and Mr Rolastic too, with a bit of Shakespeare thrown in to the mix! (Sorry, read that you were off to see one of the Bards' plays on t'other blog!)



Nic, if Simon can have The Wiggles on his show then I wouldn't give up hope of him playing a James song. Anything is possible!!



Mcw x

Yep, life's good!

~55 And it's sunny. 'bout time things went your way a bit.

Hi all



Not a lot to add to the suggestions above - I think there is a shows' (apologies for the misplaced apostrophe if it is)worth there.



18 more days of work (give or take) then I am on garden leave until 1st September. I'm going to take some time out before I start looking for the next step so fellow scrabblers look out, games may be quicker.



mtd ffb xxx

3 word tuesday...



raiding friends garden....



she is on her hols so shame to let those strawberrys go to waste...and peas and broard beans too :-)

SW just played my #25 Tamms choice!

Well Done Deebee!

Whoop, whoop!!!



I got a three word Tuesday mensh - I'm well chuffed. Will be running as if on air this beautiful evening. Thank you Simon.



Deevs, thank you for the catch up - glad all's well with you.



MTF - Gardening leave over the summer sounds like fun but I know you'll be beavering away looking for something for when the gardening leave finishes. Good luck my lovely.



Gailyb - she of the Three Word Tuesday mention ;)

WOOHOO!! I GOT A MENSH!!!!! And my real name too. That's only happened once before, I think. Although Simon did once say "Debbie from the blog", which was a bit confusing!



Well done Gailyb for your 3 word Tuesday mensh!

#62 Is 'Debbie from the blog' anything like 'Jenny from the block'?







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)

#63 no, she has a bigger rear end...

I'm checking the webcam - hope Simon gets back before the end of this pre-recorded interview

I don't believe that for a second.



Hold on, that sounded like a compliment in my head.



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)

I see the Cornish raised Olly Barkley saved England today.



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)

I think all of the menshes were tweets, but not totally sure.



Is this interview a pre-record?

#66 was in relation to #64



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)

#68 yep

#65 Phew - he's back



#66 I'll take it as one - I think....?

oops!



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)

#71, Do you drive a Renault Meganne?



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 me song!!!

I think you are treading on thin ice there, Darren! ;)

Yip Yip Yibble!!!

Well done Paul!!

Yip Yip yibble, Paul!

#73 No, a Saab 9-3 convertible. Why?

#81 erm... no reason.

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)

#81 I think Darren is suggesting something to do with the Renault ad...'Shakin yo aaass'. Still dont get the malcolm/strawberry thing, though

Oh come on POS!!!



Your knowledge of 70/80s comedy is not the nest is it?!



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)

Something to do with Robins Nest, then?

#84 would that be Robin's nest?

Great minds, Paul!

What a strange subject upon which great minds should alight. Or perhaps,another explanation?

Good one PoS



David

Just back from running club and logged into let you know, I texted my Three Word Tuesday - I'm registered on Twitter but have only been on a couple of times and have never tweeted SM.



Anyhoo, Robin's Nest or Robin Snest (that was my favourite episode) was a fabby programme, what ever happened to Robin? Ooops, can't remember his real name.



Well dones all round on the mensh's - I bet it made your day DeeBee ;)



Gailyb

ooops should have been menshes - apologies for the misplaced apostrophe. Gailyb

Yes Gailyb, we all get excited when any one of the blogpoppets gets a mensh! Thanks for the tip re texting. I've only texted the show once - for a request for MTF's birthday - but was unsuccessful. Still, I guess the more you do it, the more chance you have. I tweet all the time, and I've been quite successful there! Although I tend to tweet/blog the same songs, so it's not always possible to know where it's been chosen from. Unless Simon actually says "from the blog".

Morning blesspoppets



I won't be around much today - out and about. Hopefully I'll be able to pop in later this afternoon, but it might not be in time to suggest any songs. Unless Simon announces the theme in the next half hour, before I leave. Still, shouldn't be greedy - I got a mensh yesterday!



Hope you all have a good one.
