Hello Everybody,



Suggestions today,



'Bank Robber' The Clash and Elvis with 'JailHouse Rock'



Hope it's a good day for one & all

Morning Simon and all Blogpoppets



JAILHOUSE ROCK by ELVIS PRESLEY



or seconding CDF's request for GOOD MORNING JUDGE by 10CC.



I'm here Darren, being trying!



Tortie x

DBB59 - we must have posted at the same time!

Morning Simon and morning again to the lovely blogpoppets



I reckon you should try your Waragi as a long cocktail, with a measure of blue curacao, topped up with American ginger ale and a dash of angostura bitters to round it off. All over crushed ice with a sprig of mint, through a straw.



And I'll have one too whilst you're there .....!





Prisons then? In that case I'll go for:



Breakout - Swing Out Sister



or



Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy



or both!



Muchos amore



Deevs

#5 Seems like it Tortie, there is an expression 'great minds..........' but modesty prevents me completing it !!

#7 I'm sure I can remember my grandparents ending that phrase with "... but small ones seldom differ" !

Morning All



Cops And Robbers - The Hoosiers

Sham 69 - Borstal Breakout

Morning all!



Can I first express a concern about a song on yesterdays show. I haven't had time to listen back to it yet, but I requested the song 'Nobody does it better' by Carly Simon, which was played, but Simon read it out as 'They Spy who loved Me'. This was the name of the Bond film, but not the name of the song.



Anywho - hope everybody is well today, and can I request 'Jailhouse Rock' please.



I can't stick around long - got to pop out do some business. Hopefully catch up later.



Deasant Play



MP

AC/DC - Jailbreak

Morning all



My three starters for ten:



"Life In Prison" - Byrds

"Jailer" - JJ Cale

"Teenage Jail" - Eagles.

Morning all



MP - I'm sure Simon said it was the theme from 'A spy who loved me' but also haven't listened again to it.



How about Jonny Cash - A boy named Sue, from the Live at San Q album.



A

Good Morning Each! I totally missed most of yesterday due to an encounter with a riverbank. Did anyone get any menshes? I promise to try harder today, Mr Mayo, Sir.



Prisons?....



'Riot In Cell Block Number 9' by Dr Feelgood (or pretty much anyone else)



or...



'Folsom Prison Blues' by Johnny Cash



or...



'San Quentin' by Johnny Cash



or...



'The Prisoner' by Iron Maiden (It is Wednesday, come on Matt)



or...



'Behind That Locked Door' by George Harrison



or...



'San Quentin' by Johnny Cash (I thought it was worth reiterating)

Morning All,



Rushing around getting all sorted for my hollibobs!!! So exciting!!

That local fire water sounds deadly, Simon! Wonder if it will still be in the drinks cupboard at Chr*****s?



How about WOMAN IN CHAINS by TEARS FOR FEARS?



Mcw x

Or a really sad song that was a favourite of my dear old Dad:



Streets of Laredo by Johnny Cash

#15 and #17 Johnny Cash was a cheerful old soul wasn't he!!

#16 As long as those chains are



attached to oven at the other end



or anywhere else in the Kitchen

I suspect that this won't be the showstopper, but it would show solidarity with fellow R2 presenters if played at some point...



'Strangeways Hotel' by Mike Harding.

'Alcatraz' by Nazareth (It is Wednesday, come on Matt)

'Bastille Day' by Rush (It is Wednesday etc, etc...)

'Sing, Sing, Sing' by Chicago (OK, one to many sings, but hey, I'm trying)

Morning Everyone,



Feeling particularly chipper today - skived eldestGB's Introduction to 6th Form evening (it would have been the third this year - how many meetings do they need???) and went running instead. Whoop whoop! Got a 5k race tonight - I'll be last more than likely but I really don't care - for me it's most definitely the taking part! YoungestGB is taking part in the 1k - bless him he's sooooo excited - reckons he's going to sprint all the way round. Will post results tomorrow.



Sorry for not being around much yesterday - really busy at work which is fab - stops me worrying that my job may be under review AGAIN. Not so fab as it interferes with blog activity.



Anyoo - PoS - hope the riverbank survived ;) Good call on FOLSOM PRISON BLUES, JOHNNY CASH - that was going to be my suggestion. Also ALCATRAZ, NAZARETH - they're from my home town and I reckon we don't hear enough of them on the radio these days. Many moons ago, I interviewed Dan McCafferty for an english project at school. I was supposed to go to his house for the interview but ended up interviewing him over the phone as his little boy was poorly. Wee scone!



MC - you are naughty! My eldest would agree with you - he's always cracking chauvinistic jokes - wee monkey.



Deebs - where are you my lovely?



Deevs - whoop whoop - what a great life.



Chickster - how many sleeps 'til the hols?



Gailyb

'Tower of London' by ABC



'Towers Of London' by XTC

PoS - you're on fire my lovely - Rush could be a winner - did you hear Spirit of the Radio last week? Fab-u-lous.



As per usual, I'm not feeling very inspired as regards a choon suggestion. Rubbish, I know! :(



Gaily

'Devils Island' by Megadeth (It is W...etc, etc)

'Four Seasons In One Day' by Crowded House.



(The Four Seasons Hotel, Istanbul, also known as Sultanahmet Jail.

)

That'll do for a bit, and make up for my tardiness of yesterday. I couldn't think of a song for the Hanoi Hilton. Darren?



GailyB, I did hear Rush t'other day, but I thought on 6Music, but knowing me, it wasn't. We never got to do anything interesting like interviewing celebs at my school. The mayor was coming to meet us, one day, but went to the junior school down the road, by mistake, and then ran out of time.

One last thought on the subject of prisons...



'San Quentin' by Johnny Cash (I thought it was worth re-reiterating)

#15/31 PoS fantastic song choice hope it gets played

I'm In Chains - Tina Arena

Another thought, in the neighbourhood of B



'In The Jailhouse Now' by The Soggy Bottom Boys.



Which makes me think. Hows about a theme of songs with yodelling in 'em?

#30 - PoS - You may have heard it on 6 Music but as I don't listen to that station, I know I definitely heard it on Radio 2 and I'm sure it was the gorgeous SM who played it.



MC - Is there a theme emerging (other than SM's prescribed theme)?



GailyB

PoS - I think yodelling was one of the first themes that led onto choons featuring particular musical instruments?



Gailyb

#36.Rings a bell, now that you mention it.

oooooooooh chains!



Chains - The Beatles



or



Woman In Chains - Tears For Fears



x

#38 - Deevs - you minx!

but my personal choice would be 'CHAIN GANG' SAM COOKE

I'm still here. Yesterday my one request was for a bit of Trojan Ska. Might as well try again...



'54-46 Was My Number' by Toots And The Maytals

GB havent got the faintest idea what your on about

Morning - sorry, afternoon all. Apologies for my tardiness.



Well, I had to have a bit of a woohoo and a small yip yip yibble this morning. Apparently I got a mensh yesterday!! I didn't hear it, and it seems none of the other blogpoppets did either - or at least none of you who know my real name, as that was what Simon used! One of my colleagues came into my office and said "was the ****** ****** from Cambridgeshire that was mentioned on the radio yesterday you?" It was about 5.30 - I was walking the hound at the time.



Anyway, I'm flushed with success and a lot happier than I was earlier in the week (thanks Gailyb for putting up with my moans and groans)

Shackles - Mary Mary

And as both my song choices for today have already been suggested by others I'm happy to pass the credit over, but for the record I tweeted earlier:



GOOD MORNING JUDGE by 10CC



CHAINS by Tina Arena

And the last bunch before I'm off for the afto. Work, work, work...



'Care of Cell 44' by The Zombies



'I Fought The Law' by The Clash



'Holloway Jail' by The Kinks



'Rotting on Remand' by Billy Bragg



'Jenny Was a Friend Of Mine' by The Killers



'The Fields of Athenry' by The Dropkick Murphies



Done and Gone!

MC - just check back your suggestions.



Deebs - anytime - I'm so glad you got a mensh and with your real name. If I'd heard it, I would have known it was you. Whoop, whoop for you!



PoS - toodle-oo - don't work too hard.



Gailyb

...something by soft cell....'tainted love'

GB whats wrong with #9,10 & 12

50?

#50 Yay!



MC - I've accepted your friend request on FB.

Can we have Here Comes My Baby by Sons of Admirals? Please nicely

#48 Excellent choice!! I'll go along with Tainted Love, psl



#24 2 and a bit more sleeps, the bit is because we have a very early morning flight on Saturday!



Hope Spike and the Rev are ok



Mcw x

Thanks D

#15 - I second Folsom Prison Blues!



How about also

Back on the Chain Gang, Pretenders

Police and Thieves, Junior Murvin

I shall be released, Bob Dylan

Fish in the Jailhouse, Tom Waits

various brilliant songs on the Dead Man Walking album, eg Ellis Unit One by Steve Earle ...

MC - #49 - nothing wrong with them my lovely. I was referring to #19 and #33, rather tongue in cheek if I may say so. :)



Chickster #53 - not long then. shame about the early flight tho'. how many alarm clocks will you set?



Gaily

Simon, please don't play tainted love by softcell..............that sound sets my cats off........not that tune,please

#53 so you've got a good excuse to phone Simon up for an ARF on Friday, Madchickster!

#58 - If you do ring in for an ARF Chickster, remember a wee mensh for the Blogpoppets too, please! GailyB

Come on blogpoppets, only 940 posts to go to get us into quadruple figures!!!

Good idea though.



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)

and where's Lord Spike of Blessblogpoppetry anyhoooooo?

Freedom - Wham!



of course .......

Think I'll be a bit busy to ring Simon on Friday- but if I do manage it I wont forget my fellow bloggers.



Talking of which- Alison,our blogpoppet from Eastleigh- heard Ken mention your story again about the denim skirt this morning (see yesterdays blog) which prompted a few listeners to call in with similar tales. Seems like it had legs!! Hope husband has forgiven you for sharing it with the nation! ;0)

#68 Thanks Deevs - you've just inspired me to suggest:



I WANT TO BREAK FREE by Queen

Be careful with that Waragi, Simon. It has actually caused a number of deaths in Uganda. You may need to water it down a little!

Locked In by Judas Priest



or



Jail Bait by Wishbone Ash

What ho all - apologies for my abstinence - I have a note (a crotchet). Had to poop out to our Head Office on 'urgent' business (nudge, nudge, say no more). Seems I've missed more lively convo than yesterday.



How is everybody going?



In relation to my 'urgent' business at Head Office that nobody can know about, my Wednesday in 3 words is as follows: '[Malcolm] is somewhere else...' You ain't seen me, alroite? ;-)

Malclom when you off to the GP

Festival of Speed this weekend - leaving for that after work tomorrow, and Grand Prix next weekend. Will be travelling up to Silverstone during the day - have to sign on at 6pm next Thursday.



You going Mark?

Just found out I'm working up there as Security



Dont know when I have to be there yet



got to wait for a call early next week

Cool! Good luck. Will you be camping up there?



Can you let me in somewhere....? ;-)

No staying in either B & B or hostel

Alright for some - we have to camp! Do you know what your duties will be yet?

Not yet if you want send me your mobile via FB & try & sort something out

Bye Bye Federer



Hope for the Scot yet

#81 That is shocking news!! Yea sure thing Mark - but I don't know how much time I'm going to have. Mini SM meet at the GP has to be a winner.

Oh dear lovelies! I'm so sorry - I got confused and missed the point (thank you Diva for rescuing me!!!)



SO on the theme I agree with Jailhouse Rock by Elvis :D oooh or What about We've gotta get out of this place (I dont know who did it lol.)

#83 Don't worry Hannah - I'm the world's expert at missing the point!

#83 I remember David Cassidy & The Partridge Family doing it! (we gotta get out of this place) - no doubt the music purists on here will be groaning now! : )

#85 the only one of theirs I can remember is "I think I love you". Which I haven't got on my ipod. Honest..... ;o)

#83 I just googled it - it was the Animals.

#85 & 86 Showing your age there ladies

'88 'Fraid so, Mark!

I've got nooooooooo idea what anybody is on about. That's not just limited to the blog either!

Right, home time for me. See you later peeps. X

Where's everybody gone again? Who can tell me what's happened so far? Any menshes?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm stuck in a place with no Radio 2 reception!!!!!!!



Anybody care to give a blow by blow update of what is happening on the show?



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)

So far we've had The Clash and Sam Cooke. Apparently J Cash and E Presley to come before the end of the show. Bad Company is the musical highlight with Sam Cooke so far. Not sure about mentions.

Thanks for the update Ken. Just nearly sprayed tea over my keyboard lauging at the confession!

Thanks KJ, have you ever thought about taking up a job as a commentator? I can just see you know in a 'Del-boy' type sheepskin coat, flat cap, woodbine out of the corner of your mouth, etc.



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)

#97 If you wait till about 8 o'clock tonight, you can hear the whole show on "listen again"

Woohoo! Well done MP.

And do I get 100?
