Thanks Simon - now has Kevin beaten me to it?

No KatyMac - you've got the No1 slot!

Nope Katy, not me this time!



How about



ROTTERDAM - BEAUTIFUL SOUTH



Rip It Up - ORANGE Juice



Cheers,



Kev

Yip Yip





Hello fellow Blogpopsters - moving on from previous blogramblingness ..



ROTTERDAM - THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH



is rather an obvious choice



:^)

How about



CLOG DANCE - VIOLINSKI. Would make a nice bed for your intro...



Cheers,



Kev

Morning Simon and Blogpoppets



My choices today, so far, are:



WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND - Noel Harrison

and

TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS by either Tiny Tim or Max Bygraves (both equally cheesy IMO!)



Tortie x

who hasn't had a mention since the first week of the show : (

Morning All



Double Dutch - Malcom Mclaren



Pass The Dutchie - Musical Youth

Morning All,

My suggestion is 'New Amsterdam' Elvis Costello



Hope its a good day for one and all

Great minds eh Kev?



I swear I hadn't seen yours when I posted.



Less obvious choice:



PASS THE DUTCHIE - MUSICAL YOUTH





:^D

Here's an obscure one...



In honour of the esteemed Ruud Gullit's expression of "Sexy Football", how about



YOU SEXY THING by HOT CHOCOLATE

Hmmm - I think I'll try to be more original with my next offering ...



... just goes to show how like-minded we are. Imagine how many tweets Simon must get with the very same suggestions every day ..

Ok - I'll repeat my postings from yesterday ...







VAN DER VALK THEME - EYE LEVEL

Well someone has to ask for this..



A WINDMILL IN OLD AMSTERDAM - RONNIE HILTON.



Altogether now...I Saw A Mouse...

or perhaps ....





TULIPS FROM AMSTERDAM - MAX BYGRAVES





corny, cheesy, cliched and utterly marveloso!

#13 oh yes - an absolute must Kev - positively Inspiratino

#6 Tortie - reckon you'll get one with those choices. Hope so.

How about



BROWN EYED GIRL by RUUD VAN MORRISON?

#15 - didn;t get a chance to register those domains last night, due to gym followed by Hospital Radio duty until 11pm. Will have a go tonight.

#13 Kev where was the mouse again

Hurro!



I've already Tweeted The MayoMaster for ORANGE Juice's Rip It Up but can I also add into the mix:-



The Mouse In The Windmill in Old Amsterdam song (I saw a mouse, where, there on the stairs ....) but I dno't know who it's by!



I love Holland. Went there in 1998 and 2000 for the Dutch TT in Assen. all the locals line the streets and roads to the circuit, sitting in their deck-chairs with their picnics waving at passing tourists en route to the race - fantastic! And the Assen Street Party on the Friday night before the race - magic! Also in 2000 Holland were co-hosting the Euro 2000 championships and all the big buildings in Amsterdam were decked out with MAHOOOOSIVE posters of Edgar Davids and Dennis Bergkamp - smart!



Deevs

Kev - YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!



A little mouse with clogs on .....



x

Deevs, Deevs, Deevs, you really must read the post before posting ;-)



#19 - THERE, there on the stair....a little mouse with clogs on...



Oh, harking back to the days of Stewpot and Junior Choice now!



'ELLO DARLIN'! Where is that lad now, I wonder!

Given todays theme are we cloggers instead of bloggers ?

#20 I remember the 2000 Euro Championships fondly, as I managed to wangle a corporate seat at the England v Portugal match when I was working at BAR. What a boring match, but a wonderful day, flying into Schipol airport and spending a lazy day I Amsterdam cafe's until we were picked up at the hotel for the match

ORANGE CRUSH - R.E.M





Doubtful tho - REM were played yesterday on Drive

Get ready for the groans...



GOUDA-ETE by Steeleye Span

I'm here all week - try the veal...

Good Morning All



Have already tweeted my (clearly) less than original choice of:



ROTTERDAM by Beautiful South



And slightly more original:



DOUBLE DUTCH by Malcolm Maclaren (good one, Mark!)



I think I'd better revert back to my usual blog name later - can't see me getting a mensh with this mouthful. I quite like it though - maybe I'll keep it for just a bit longer!



#6 Tortie - I didn't realise. Fingets crossed for today - good suggestions.



KatyMac - I've replied to your FB message.



Kev - I sent you a FB message the other day - don't you ever go on there?



Deebee X

'windmills of your mind' Dusty Springfield

#27 - I harldy go on to FB Deebs. I try to remember every couple of weeks or so but just don't get the time, unfortunately...I'll take a look tonight though.

'orange blossom special' Johnny Cash

#16 and #27 - hope so too, although after I posted I remembered Simon playing Tiptoe through the Tulips earlier in the year (perhaps for the Chelsea Flower Show?)



Think you're right about the name Deebee x 3!



Tortie x

'orange crush' REM

Morning all



Well obviously there's "Orange Blossom Special" - perm any one from hundreds of bluegrass artists to find an acceptable version.



Or there's "Orangefield" by Van Morrison.



And of course there are a huge stack of songs by Messrs Holland, Dozier and Holland.

Kev - I loaded the blog, then took a phone call and your Mouse In The Windmill post appeared in that time frame - I think it was on about #8 when I started tying my drivel .....



I really CBA today. Just had a bit of a fight with a sack barrow, and lost. Clock watching til 5 o'clock then it's orf to the gym for a workout followed by a bit of a swim and a stint in the sauna.



Back to the archiving .....



Deevs

Morning all



Can I second #13 (a little mouse with clooogs on, well I declare, going clip clipety clop on the stair.... right there)



I am now singing that in my head with a silly grin on my face.



mtd ffb xxx

#33 lets hope he picks something from the HDH stable

Woof Woof



Shurrup Arnold .....



x

'Ob-la-di Ob-la-da' Marmalade......

Morning all, and congrats to everybody who got a mention yesterday. A very good showing!



Struggling with this one today, but how about



The Damned - Alone Again Or



More to follow hopefully once the old gray matter kicks in.



G_C

"Yellow" by ColdPlay. Sort or a faded orange :-)

Sort *of*......

'I'll be there for you' The Rembrandts

#42 - good call psl!

'diamonds are forever' Shirley Bassey

Morning all! Hope all is well.



3 word Wednesday: 'Last day! Scary!'



Noooooo idea for Dutch themed things. Back in a mo with a thought.



Deasant Play



MP

the links are getting more and more tenuous!!

How is everybody anyway? Sorry for my abstinence - been soooooooooo busy!!

Good Morning Each! Cracking suggestions, thus far, and I certainly would like to second PSL with her idea for Dusty Springfield.



My ideas go thus...



'Ordinary To Enschede' by Half Man Half Biscuit

and also on the football theme, though not exactly pertinant to the Dutch



'The Referees Alphabet', also by HMHB

or...

'Oranges' by They Might Be Giants

or...

'Orange Crush' by R.E.M.

or...

'Revolution' (Windmills, d'ya see?) by Jools HOLLAND & The Stereophonics

or...

'Wij Houden Van Oranje' by Champs United. From the album 50 Best of Football Hits. I 'spotted' that one, and it's VERY cheesey.

#34 - I wa sonly joshing Deevs! :-)



After 2 nights of gym work i'm haveing a much needed rest evening tonight, so will be catching up on paperwork, registering domains (Inspiratino dot com, etc.!), logging onto FB...

'double dutch' The Fatback Band

Of course - how could we miss Holland's greatest musical exports???



HOCUS POCUS - FOCUS



RADAR LOVE - GOLDEN EARRING

PSL, Half Century, YAAYY!!!

Holland



The Netherlands



Dutch





... weird? I guess there must be some convoluted etymological explanation for three completely different ways of describing those from one of the 'Low Countries'.



Homework Sucks kinda question methinks. Bring on those experts Simon!

#53 I can help you there Katy (along with my friend Mr. Wiki Peedia...



"The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as Holland, although North and South Holland are actually only two of its twelve provinces (see terminology of "the Netherlands"). The word Dutch is used to refer to the people, the language, and anything pertaining to the Netherlands. This lexical difference between the noun and the adjective is an attribute of the English language that does not exist in the Dutch language. The adjective 'Dutch' is derived from the language that was spoken in the area, called 'Diets', which equals Middle Dutch."

Harlem Shuffle - The Rolling Stones (that's Haarlem!)

#51 Excellent choosings there Mr Paul, although ..



.. am inclined to back Tortie's WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND - NOEL HARRISON much earlier in the blog [#6]

#54 Cheers Kev - I saw that. LOL. ;^)

I can't believe I didn't dig this one out sooner ...



Vincent - Don McLean

'Big Sur And The Oranges From Hieronymus Bosch ' by Tangerine Dream



and whilst I am on Dutch artists...





'Vincent' by Don Mclean



'The Eyes Of Rembrandt' by Tom May



'Escher' by Teenage Fanclub

'Jump' by Van Halen as the mid week mosh would be a good double link

Wow so many choices - I feel stupid by comparison. I might throw my weight behind 'Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side'



Anywho, how is everybody today? What have I missed over the last 5 days?

and a nod to Amsterdams alternative 'cultural' offerings...



'red light spells danger' Billy Ocean

Googling around - there appear to be mainly 6 Dutch ClichAYS:





WOODEN SHOES, WINDMILLS, TULIPS, DYKES, TRADITIONAL COSTUME & MARIJUANA.





For sucha small country, they do rather well

#56. Thanks, Katy, for letting me know that you like Kev's song choices. In this case, so do I. No 'hat' contenders there.

#61 Hi Malcolm. You'll have to read the blog if you wish to know what you have missed over the past 5 days - tee hee

Ta Katy - if I have a spare week, I may be able to have a butchers. How are you?

#64 LOL. Somehow I KNEW you'd want to know what Kevin had chosen and that the songs had my approval, despite the fact it was all staring you in the face. :^D

'Barney (And Me0 by The Boo Radleys, In honour of Raymond van Barneveld, dart lord.

#66 Malc - clearly I'm having a slightly batty day today. LOL. see postings above



:^D

'Oei Oei Oei (Dat Was Me Weer een Loei)' by Johan Cruyff YES, REALLY!!!

100 by 1 o'clock? Go for it, blogpoppets!

*siren sounds*



Prog alert!



INTO A GAME - VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR





For the rest of the day, Clogpoppeets, there vill mostly be the sound of barrel scrapijd ...

Crikey Katy what are you on!?!? I thought I was hyper with it being my last day - you are on your own!!!

#71 Sorry, CLOGpoppets

#73 maybe she's been smoking those rather interesting cigarettes the Dutch seem to like so much ;o)

#73 Nah - I'm done now Malcolm. Boghogging is frowned upon in some circles :^).



So - last day at work for you - then Silverstone - then month in USA?

#76 if you're gonna do a typo you may as well do one in spectacular fashion!

Boghogging!

# 71 - 100 by 1 o'clock - well here's my contribution ...



Both Glenn Campbell



Sunflower



'Rhine' stone Cowboy (I know, very sorry!)

#76 Yes, Katy I can see why that would be frowned upon!

*acting age not shoe size*







There are some fine versions of the traditional song

LOWLANDS OF HOLLAND

out there.

Would be an excellent link song to Mike Harding show which follows.

#76 That is the plan Katy - then I may come back and teach you how to spell.



Can I dare to make a suggestion for the Midweek Mosh - ''Dude looks like a Lady'' by Aerosmith? Go on - it's me last day :-P

#81 Good Luck and Happy Travelling.



Midweek Mosh? Kevin may have something to say about your choice ...

Afternoon Everyone,



Just pooping by to help with the march on 100. Katy I'm enjoying your minx-iness today - you have been an inspiratinoal and you're cheering me up on an otherwise dull day. As per usual, I can't think of a suggestion, well I did but was too late to even third it! :( (It was the windmill in old amsterdam, with the wee mouse going clip clippety clop right there on the stair.)



Well must get the nose back to the old grindstone - the boss is cracking his whip today and I rather like it ;) (no double entendre intended).



THREE WORD WEDNESDAY - WORK'S BUSY - YIPPEE!!!



GailyB

ooops - erratum - can you remove the 'al' from the end of inspiratino, please? Ta muchly. :)

Does this constitute b(l)oghogging?



GailyB

Hands up who's frowning



Gaily

[Puts hand down...]

Not me!





Hi GailyBevs!

How does one change ones name to something Dutch-related?



P.S. How are you today apart from responding to whip-cracking GB? ;-)

#89.Malcolm Poeder. Top of the page. go to settings, change you name. Your new name will then appear with all of you previous posts too.

Hi KatijVanMac - I could see you weren't my lovely. Good shooping (;)) trip yesterday?



Malcolm Powder (Poeder)- great ta - you? Got that desk cleared yet? What about your drawers?



GailijVanB

I really must try and get on here a little earlier, as Katy has got ahead of me again in requesting REM's Orange Crush...!





Kasabian - Orange.



Nic

Sorry KatijVM - #91 it was a direct copy from you but again, I couldn't think of anything original. :(



*reverting back to* Gaily

Whew, that's better! Back to my normal self.



A late entry: DON QUIXOTE by Nik Kershaw

Who's going to get the PoS mexican wave today then?



Gaily

Desk has been wiped off into the bin - drawers are cleared, company car is handed in, well and truly erasing this lot from my life. Now I just need a lift home...

Is that a sign you're feeling a little calmer then Deebs?



Gaily

Are you going home via the pub Malcolm?



Gaily

No stampede for the 100 then?

#97 Whatever are you suggesting GailyB? I'm always cool, calm and collected.
