SHOALS OF HERRING - Ewan McColl



FIDDLERS GREEN - The Dubliners (or preferably John Connelly)



THE FAMILY AND THE FISHING NET - Peter Gabriel

Morning all. from a blissfully sunny Oxon.

I am a big fan of John Barry myself, Dances with Wolves being my favourite, but Lord Ammo recommends the Red Button, so that's what I will do tomorrow (out tonight at an 'Oxfringe' comedy event)

My recommendation for a sea-type theme (as the Waterboys are clearly taken!) is



MOBY DICK by The Mighty Led Zep.



Go on, Simon, you know you want to!

Have a nice day y'all

Good morning again -



Deja vu?



Suggest -



THROW DOWN A LINE - Cliff Richard



PATIENCE - TT (WAH!)

Harry T. Snapper

President

Pendants of the World Unite

Good morning Simon, Team and fellow blogpoppets!



Greetings from a sunny London!



I tried the red button thingy last night but all I got were Springwatch photos. Much as a pic of a kingfisher was delightful, it was not what I wanted. I will try again tonight.



Can I second Toots suggestion of "Gone Fishing", but the Louis Armstrong/Bing Crosby version.



Haven't we had this theme before? Where is Katy - she knows this stuff.



Laters!



A-G

GRIMSBY - Elton John



LET ME IN - R.E.M.



THE ANGLER - Gary Brooker

Good Morning!



My little suggestion is -



YOU CAN'T CATCH ME - John Lennon (or the Rolling Stones)

U2 "Drowning Man"? Bit morbid I know if you're a fisherman.



Alternatively "Sailing" by Rod the Mod would float my boat!



Have a lovely sunny day everyone.



GB

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY - Katie Perry

#25 Harry, very impressed that there is an association for pendants. I have a number of them so wondered what the criteria was for joining! ;)

Morning all.



Alex I was just about to say the same, in fact, its a third time for fishy tunes I think.



At last, I can report a beautiful morning, with clear blue skies.



So, the garden is calling. Top choons already picked so will listen out for your menshes later.



MTF.xx

#25 Harry



Pedants of the World

COD ONLY KNOWS ~ Beach Boys



IN MY PLAICE ~ Coldplay



:o)

YOU GOT YOUR HOOKS IN ME - The O'Jays



HOOK ME UP - Bon Jovi

THE POACHER - Ronnie Lane

#26 Alex, I was wondering where Katy was.

Did anyone suggest this - might sound mighty fine after the 6pm news...



SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE - Queen



(Where exactly is Rhye? I don't think they meant the genteel little town almost on the coast in East Sussex!)

#32 MTF... I thought this theme had been on before but who was the previous guest for fishy type songs?

#25 - I see you're a member of said association SW1964 ;)



#26 & #37 - I haven't been around much of late and wondered if I'd missed KM going off to have the maintenance work carried out?



~ xx

#25 Harry, is a pendant like a pedant, only better accessorized? :-)



Good point, Moby was a whale which as we all know that paid attention in biology was a mammal!

Howsabout 'GOLD FISH BOWL' by Van the Man - well, it's a fish n all.

#38 - love that choon - good call - hope it gets a play.



Likewise, #29 - the Rod Stewart suggestion takes me back to the Kinema Ballroom, circa 1975, a gorgeous chap called George and the slow dance at the end of the under-18s disco. Mmmm, I wonder whatever happened to gorgeous George. (not *that* gorgeous George, the Fife version).



Btw, Jill Moore, you're not the Lincolnshire Jill Moore are you?



~ xx

ROCK LOBSTER - B52s

#37 & #40 katy popped in over the weekend. She is "up North" - hopefully having the few days break she wanted. Limited internet but she should be back today.

#31, #33 & #41 Our organisation hangs around thinking we know better than everyone else. We often find that a simple spelling mistake can make us looks complete prats but as long as it gets a laugh or a smile we don't mind :-)

WITH EVERY WISH - Bruce Springstein



CATFISH BOOGIE - Tennessee Ernie Ford (1953!)

#44 - oh good, it'll be lovely to see her back again (bring it on you pedants with your pendants).



~ xx

No, not the Lincolnshire Jill Moore! Sunny Surrey here.

#45 LOL at the organisation "hanging around".



I can see a short story shaping: "The Pendant-Wearing Pedant".



Separate subject. Toots/Tortie, you still lurking? Going back to yesterday and the Tressy doll. Wasn't the screw to lengthen/shorten her hair in her lower back, not her belly button? Been worrying me all night.

#49 - Oh now I'm not sure, Alex. Will have a look the next time I get a chance (ie the beginning of Aug - she's languishing in a cupboard at my Mum's). As my dear old Mum will be moving out of her house, I'll be clearing out the cupboards when I'm there and will bring back all my toys and games.



Oh dear, I'm really struggling to focus today. Boss has gone out and left me a few bits to do but nothing I can 'get my teeth into'. The weather's not helping.



~ xx

Morning All,



'Pulling Mussels From The Shell' Squeeze



'Float On' The Floaters



Have a good day everybody

On a completely different tack: twitter.



I signed up to twitter mainly so I can enjoy the spat between Lily Allen and Julie Birchill. I'm following exactly two people and I have just been notified that I have one person following me. Why on earth would anyone want to follow me? Do you think he's heard of "Pendants of the World Unite"? Until today, it was a secret society.

#50 Ooh, play date round yours then!!!!

#49 Alex/Toots - I thought it was in her belly button, but you've got me wondering now ... We'll have to wait until Toots has a clear out, my Tressy (along with lots of other toys) was thrown out when my parents had their loft lagged a couple of years ago.

#49 Alex-G : Why would you want to lengthen the hair in your lower back? I'm no beautician, but suggest you should be looking for ways to shorten (actually, eradicate) this.

Good morning all! Afraid it's another quick poop in and out for me. Work, eh?



Katymaty is having a wee break up noth with no inter web connection. Think she may be due back today.



Red button was indeed fab Mr M but I have one complaint. Lots of Dr K but little of Lord Ammo. Didnt see the whole thing so shall catch up on the remainder tonight.



Glad the tennis was such good value for money, JBG.



No choon choosing for me today. Back for the fun and nostalgia later ;-)



X

#39 LuciesMum - I think it might have been when Seasick Steve was the guest, but I'm not sure.



BASS TRAP - U2



TIGER ROACH - Frank Zappa



CATFISH BLUES - Jimi Hendrix



RAINBOW TROUT - Gordon Lightfoot



MISTRESS OF THE SALMON SALT - Blue Oyster Cult



OLD CAPE COD - Bette Midler



FLOUNDERING - Carly Simon



BARRACUDA - Moby

KILLER BARRACUDA - Kris Kristofferson



O SOLE MIO - Luciano Pavarotti

MANTA RAY - Pixies



GOLDFISH - Kate Walsh



MOLLY - John Denver



I WANT MY MULLET BACK - Billy Ray Cyrus



PACKT LIKE SARDINES - Radiohead



HOLY SNAPPERS - Beastie Boys

#55 LOL!!



Beauty secrets elude me unfortunately. I am still perplexed by a sign in a local hairdressers that advertised a "Brazilian Blow-dry". It also offered "racoon extensions" - why anyone would want to attach racoons to their head (other than Davy Crocket) is beyond me.

TOO MANY FISH IN THE SEA THE MARVELETTES

Morning Lord Ammo et al



A tenuous suggestion, absolutely no chance of being played.



I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash



I like it here, just wish I could keep up!



Don't have the same problem next door tho' :-)



Pen xx

#58....a Brazillian blow-dry...an oxymoron if ever :-0

#58 and #61... maybe it means the person doing the blow-dry is a Brazilian! :o)

#51 - Brandon - loving the Squeeze suggestion.



#53 - Great - I have sundry other 'teenage' dolls (were they called 'teenage' dolls as they were kinda shapely - or was it just a local (or peculiar) thing to us?). I would let you lengthen and shorten Tressy's hair Alex but I think I lost the key a while ago.



#55 - JohnbG - you are funny.



#58 - never heard of any of them. might g**gle it in a bit.



Harry - you're going to be inundated with requests to join your not so secret association.



Hey Mo, hope you're having a better day today m' Lovely. xx



Penny - I struggle to keep up too m' Lovely. Nice to see you back again.



~ xx

I don't know if this will get through but it would appear that it's Beauty Treatment of the Week (kinda costly 'n' all).



https://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/beauty-hair/styles/brazilian-blow-dry-is-cosmos-beauty-treatment-of-the-week-100408



~ xx

#51: Please no, not FLOAT ON by the FLOATERS....

It's a surfer's nightmare made flesh in a song that one...

Reassuring to know that they can guarantee 'the sourcing of all its hair'!?!



https://www.racooninternational.com/products/racoon-hair/



~ xx

#64 thanks for that Toots...*blushes* was thinking of a different Brazillian!

#64 Toots, £150 for a blow dry? Will Self, in the New Statesman, has something to say on human gullibility and blow drying ;-)



https://www.newstatesman.com/society/2011/03/dyson-airblade-hand-another

#67 Lets hope no-one goes in for the treatment, and gets the wrong one by mistake ( a 'Brazilian' hair treatment client asked to remove all her clothes and lie naked on a bed might be somewhat surprised..)

Simon

How about 'Catch if you can' by the Dave Clark Five or

'Fish and Chip paper' by Elvis Costello

Morning all.



Lovely and sunny here.



Sailing by Rod Stewart.



Hope you all have a good day.



csn. xx

Morning everyone



Wow! Already loads to choose from! My choices:



Rock Lobster - B52s

Satisfy my soul (don't rock my boat) - Bob Marley

Reeling in the Years - Steely Dan

#68 Ah, Will Self, one of my *ideal* dinner party guests; erudite, witty, knowledgeable and a complete prat, all in one handy package.

Morning all



#58 Is the stylist from Sao Paulo perhaps? (not an expert as I have a similar hair line to Zen Bruce)



Busy this morning hope to join in properly later, no doubt as last time the fishy puns will flow from lunchtime onwards



Cheers



A

Simon How about 'Catch us if you can' by the Dave Clark Five or 'Fish and Chip Paper' by Elvis Costello

Good Morning Each!



Ah, "folk music". I have something of a love/hate relationship with "folk music". Last Wednesdays showstopper, Northern Skies by Nick Drake is one of my all time favourite tunes of any genre. Traditional folk music, however, with consant reference to 'all on a summers/winters/merry, merry month of may/ day', and a hey nonny etc etc, or overuse of the word 'bonny'(lad, usually) just leaves me stone cold. I will give Fishermens Friends a chance, but I don't hold out much hope. I mean, Sea Shanties? Come on, even the navy seems to have given up on them.



Still, if we all liked the same stuff, what a boring bold place this old world would be. And my mind isn't entirely closed. I do like a nicely harmonised choon. Lets see.





Red button stuff, much more up my street. Cant quite see the BBC Philharmonic sharing a mike in Simons corridor, though.



Tune suggestions...



'Good Bait' by Nina Simone



'Men And Maggots' by The Pet Shop Boys



'River Bank' by The Skatalites



'Fisher Man Dub' by Lee Perry



'Float On' by The Floaters. No! Seriously...NO!







Incidentally, that red button. Kermodes 'Midnight Cowboy'. Cowell might have had a bit to say, but it was OK. I didn't hear the concert on 3. Was there any Ennio Morricone, does anyone know?

#67 - PSL, that was my first thought and investigated further with slight trepidation. I didn't think it could be too bad, as you wouldn't need a blow dry for the other, would you? Would you? Waaaah. sometimes it's so difficult being a girl.



~ xx

#52:How would one find you on Twi**er Harry?

Is it under #Pendants or #Pedants??

;-)

#48 - Hi Jill Moore from Sunny Surrey - warmest welcomes. Hope you can hang around to join in with the madness and mayhem.



#76 - PoS - My sentiments exactly re: the folk stuff. I like some of it but the stuff that leaves you cold has a similar effect on me.



~ xx

Meet me under the whale - Hermans Hermits.



Not had chance to look back at all the suggestions, some of you are very keen today!



Quite fancy a bit of Squeeze though. Nice one Brandon.



Sorry I didn't get back to you Lucies Mum.Had pooped out to the grden but see that Mr Heney has come up with one of the occasions.



Right, boring phone call time!!



MTF.xx

#78 Suzie, although I carry the weight of two people, I am still in the singular so you'll find at either #pendant or #pedant. After my spelling mistake I feel like I'm the one who put the 'twit' in 'twi**er' :-)



As for my follower, I can't even find myself on the damn thing so God knows how he did!

#79. Yes. I sometimes wonder how Mike Harding manages to keep a grip on his sanity. Oh, erm, .. hang on....

#80 - MTF - long time no see m' Lovely - hope you had a fine time in the garden.



#82 - PoS - hee hee ;)



~ xx

#81 Harry, it sounds like your shoulders are broad enough to take it - thanks for putting up with the ribbing and joshing...we mean it in good spirit (mine's a G &T since you ask...)

:-o

Thanks Toots.



Lots to do after the monsoon conditions of late. Lovely to drop by and see all is well.



MTF.xx

'Prawn To Run' Bruce Springsteen



'Fry A Little Tenderness' Otis Redding



'Sprat Will Be The Day' Buddy Holly

Something by BECK (which is a small stream in Yorkshire)



Twisting by the Pool - Dire Straights

Mack the knife - Bobby Darren ("Oh the shark bites ...")

Anything by Marillion of course with the might Fish!

Straight down the LINE - Jerry Rafferty

#84 Suzie, I know it's all in good humour and besides, if you don't laugh at yourself, someone else will!

Another fishy tune.....



TROUT ~ Neneh Cherry & Michael Stipe

One more.... one of my mum's favourite tunas!



SEA OF HEARTBREAK ~ Don Gibson

Hello all.



The Seafood Song - The Divine Comedy (1994 - old enough?!)



Y'see, I do like my lobster,

My hake, skate and rainbow trout

And if there's a fishy smell about,

I'll be there!

hi all



sailing-ROD stewart



river deep mountian high-(p)ike and tuna turner (you get deep sea fishing)

Hey Mereshrew - warmest welcomes - hope you are able to hang out and enjoy the fun and frolics with us. Apparently, the first few times you post a comment it is automatically modded and will take a while to appear. I think after 5 posts, providing you're showing signs you'll play nicely, your posts will appear immediately.



~ xx

#64, #67 & #77 phew, thanks for sorting that one out Toots! Like PSL, my thoughts were down the path of a different Brazillian and a quick "phht" would be all that was needed!



The things people do!

#95 - 'phht' quite literally, Alex~G - you wouldn't even need to get the hairdryer out. I know. Don't think about it, it'll only upset you. I'm consoling myself with the promise of play dates ;)



~ xx

Another for the theme:



DEEPER WATER by Minnie Driver (yes, that one)



'take me out, take me out, far into the deeper water' an invite to a fisherman, if ever I saw one!

Simon, how about 'Catch us if you can' by the Dave Clark Five or 'Fish and Chip paper' by Elvis Costello



Paul - Ellesmere

#96 that's the good thing (one of) about having Grand kids, you can get down on your knees and play with them (in my case, trains, as it's boy - is that sexist? should I be giving him old dolls and princess dressing up clothes from the attic?!), as that's what's expected of this particular 'Nonna'

SOUL DEEP ~ The Box Tops
