'Ogdens Nut Gone Flake' by The Small Faces

Im up with LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN by DREAM ACADEMY, but i think someone already picked it. Will have to ponder more me thinks.



Had an argument with the ice yesterday. It won unfortunatly and now i have the imprint of a car tyre on my shin as a result :-(



Peace n love to all !!

#12 Ordinarily I'd agree. But the mighy Van Halen, and Ry Cooder's "Little Sister", are the exceptions that prove the rule.



Although I fear I'm being outvoted - first come first served? :-)

All right, I said that last lot were it from me, but then I thought of...



'Factory' by Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band



which in turn made me think of the factory's neighbours...



'Twenty Four Hour Garage People' by Half Man Half Biscuit.



Yeah, I know it's not that kind of garage, and the song contains a rude word for bottom, but I will not rest until I hear at least one HMHB song played on the show.

SOAP AND WATER - Suzanne Vega

HOMETOWN STREETS - Nanci Griffith

'common people' Pulp

Morning Simon - hope it gets fixed soon! Morning blessed blogpoppets! And Simon, it surely is time you gave in and played a LEONARD COHEN tune...so how's about STORIES OF THE STREET...

'Dandy In The Underworld' by T.Rex. (UndieWorld, geddit?)



'Corrie' by Blackfoot Sue

'Bohemian Dances:II Florizel and Perdita' from the recording by the University Of St. Thomas Wind Ensemble. I bet that they never imagined getting requested on drivetime.

or,



Simon and Garfunkel - Bleeker Street

50?

I shall award myself a celebratory wave. Not seen one for a bit...

A LITTLE STREET WHERE OLD FRIENDS MEET - Nat King Cole

#50, Well done Paul

I thought of 'The Cropper Lads' by Maddy Prior, but let's be honest, there ain't going to be any, barring cloning. There's a thought I never imagined I'd have.

50 years of .....





HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW - THE SMITHS

BRIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD - Van Morrison

and appropriate for all soaps, not just Corrie!



the o'jays-back stabbers



Morning all!!!! : )

Simon, you are very welcome to come to my cosy abode....if you can get up this far north that is!



Morning all. Usual madness that is called life going on. Will catch up shortly. Hope all well in blogpoppets land (other than Simon's boiler probs) x

OUT IN THE STREET - Bruce Springsteen

Haven't seen



WILD ROVER - DUBLINERS x

BACK ON THE STREET AGAIN - Cher

THE NORTH - Elton John

Well done on the 50 PoS. How are the renovations coming along?



Where is DeeBee? One needs the goss on behind the scenes at Strictly. Had a good look for you in the audience but sadly couldn't spot you.



Just had another thought....how about something by VERA (LYNN) - maybe As Time Goes By? x

POISON IVY - THE PARAMOUNTS or THE ROLLING STONES

Would I be risking the HOIB if I were to suggest a Bill Tarmey track? Not that I know any x

EASY STREET - ELO

ON THE STREET - Madonna

STREET OF DREAMS - Frank Sinatra

#63. Thanks for the congrats. As for the renovations/alterations, I am pretty much chewing on sawdust as we speak. I must say, I cannot imagine that I could have picked a better bunch of builders. They are here every day, regardless of the weather, graft really hard, and the finish of the bits thay have completed is second to none. And they were comparatively cheap. In fact , although they were not the cheapest, they were about 40% cheaper than the most expensive. We had to wait for a good while for them to be free, though. Not surprised.

Hi Everyone.

Good Afternoon All



Sorry for my lateness - I have an note from my Mum... Actually, we had no interweb connection at work for most of the morning. And as quite a lot of what I do is online, it has been blimmin frustrating to say the least.



Anyway, I managed to deduce from Kev's tweets what today's theme is, and tweeted:



STREET LIFE SERENADER by Billy Joel



DANCING IN THE STREET by anyone who's covered it (I'm not fussy!)



OUR HOUSE (IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREET) by Madness



ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE from 'My Fair Lady'



Deebee X

Avenues and alleyways - Tony Christie.



MTF.xx

#63 For Mo (and anyone else who's interested), we had a fantastic time at Strictly! Although we very nearly didn't get in - we were 3rd and 4th on the standby list, and they ended up letting 25 in. Whew! It was a great evening, and interesting to see how they put the show together. For example the Manic Street Preachers (who were brilliant - I am now converted!) were the very first act we saw, and they didn't appear on TV till the Sunday show. Also, they had to do their song twice, as the sound level wasn't right first time. Then they filmed the professional dancers doing their movie tribute, which we also saw twice, then Brucie came out and chatted with the audience, sang a song and pulled a woman out from the front row to do a dance with. And then we got to the live Saturday bit.



We had fairly good seats, on the balcony to the right of the band so we had a good view of most of the floor and the judges. I watched it last night, and the camera did pan out to where we were quite a few times, but the lights were down so you couldn't actually see us.



Highlights included - Matt Baker's backwards somersault off the judges table, Anton and Erin's waltz, the two professional dances - although actually the whole show was excellent. Conclusion of the evening - radio shows are a lot more civilized (we had to stand out in the cold for over an hour - we were freezing by the time we got inside!)



X



PS Next week the guest band are Take That. Ho hum...(still enjoyed the Manics though)

Thanks Deebee. I can sleep tonight ;-). Glad you had a good time x

Afternoon all



Thanks for the Strictly news Deebee ... always fascinating to see how things are put together



May I suggest Tracy by The Cufflinks, Jumping Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones or Annie's Song by John Denver



xx

Did the Manics play live? Quick recovery from laryngitis!

Afternoon all



Apologoes for the lateness of my arrival - so busy at working trying to catch up with the missed 3 days last week. The snow doesn't seem to move at all - somehow I don't think the -10C temperature this morning helps!



Thanks for the Strictly update Deebee - I kept thinking of you whilst I was watching it.



#77 I said the same thing to Mr T last night!



Tortie x

#77 #78 Yes they did play live. Twice! No lip-synching as far as I could tell, although in fairness we were slightly behind them and I didn't know about the laryngitis so I wasn't looking out for it. Sounded pretty good to me, though.

Here's a late entry for the Oldie today:



ERASURE - So The Story Goes

ah - another has just struck me....



50 Ways to Leave your Lover - Paul Simon

Aside from the corrie tunes, how about something for Simons boiler?



THE UNIVERSAL by BLUR !!!!

PoS Well Done to you!



#84 ?



I've been having probs. with posting. On Refreshing all the comments disappeared.

Any one else had the same?

#3 JbG - Did you miss out on both STREET LIFE & DREAM ACADEMY?



Don't know how it works. Shame.

sniff, sniff, sitting quietly in a corner, waiting patiently

#88 You little love!

Well done Billie and Gill and Posh SL!

What a cheeky one! Posh - Well done!

Well done all menshees. #88, you poor thing. Have managed to miss some of them and missed Matt's confession. Must try harder LOL x

WAH!



KIDZ from TT Progress!

#93, that's exactly what I thought too LOL. It's catching x

Woo Hoo BP, you just sneaked in there x

While I've got a moment - this is a message for Alison whenever she finds it.



Alison - we listened to the whole Annie Lennox CD this weekend and you are absolutely right. Beautiful and totally goosebumping. So very clever as well, with all the little twists.



May I suggest something else? It's a DVD - not new - 2002 - but Mr. BP bought it for me last Christmas. We watched it then and also last night. It's "Lesley Garrett at Christmas" and is herself solo but also with guests - Sibongile Khumalo, Jose Cura, Guy Barker, The Northern Spirit Singers - she does an amazing version of "On Holy Ground" with them.



She looks amazing. Her eyes twinkle so when she's singing. You can see her enjoyment.



The best bits are with Guy Barker including "Baby It's Cold Outside" where he plays the man's part on his trumpet!



Thought I'd share.

I've been busy writing Christmas cards, while listening to the show at the same time, of course. I hope I didn't put any cards in the wrong envelopes...



Well done to all the menshees - Paul, Billie, Gill and PSL!



Deebee X

Evening All,



Just back in,



Heard a lot of the show in the car, well dones to Billie, Gill, Paul & PSL, apologise if I have missed anybody

I was in the middle of my post to Alison and was completely taken aback!



TWO Menshes tonight and both with proper name checks! Thank you Simon.



#74 Deebee Thanks for your report on Strictly. You enjoyed yourself.



People seemed to have missed PoS mensh.



I'm signing off now. The telly is good tonight starting with MIRANDA. So I only have about an hour to play (Christmas Music) before cooking supper. And it isn't Cordon Bleu - it's Boil-in-the-bag Cod in Parsley Sauce with Tinned Pots & Tinned VEG!



Nightnight. God Bless. Please God be here tomorrow.



Love



BP

Gazza!
