I think "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 beat her to it/was her inspiration.

Big Business agreed but wasn't who am I by Beenie Man, with that dodgy line,

'How can I, Make love to a fella, in a rush'

great song dodgy lyrics, don't exactly make me want to singalong! lol

I always loved "Can blue men sing the whites?" Viv Stanshall - a true original!

[megryan] 06/12/2003 19:48

Since we are talking about dogs & music...it has to be

"Hey Bulldog" by the Beatles

or "I'm the urban spaceman- "I've got speed"". By the infamous Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (dedicated to that wonderful chap called Kong).

hallow

If you like Johnny Winter, you should try Mike Bloomfield, esp the Butterfield Blues Band stuff on Elektra.

Your post brought an image of Segovia playing blues on his trusty Gibson ES335. Like, WOW!

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

[tim 3] 05/12/2003 18:07

Not arf, their on sky digital 859

Bruce Springsteen Born to run always does it for me great power record.

Remember this classic hit?

The sweenys doing 90 cause they got the word to go
they get a gang of villans in a shed up at heathrow..........

[dave37] 05/12/2003 18:07

is classic gold on ky digital?

[agent007] 05/12/2003 17:59

Ah, not bad. Poor quality though (better on Sky Digital than the Internet).

If anyone has AOL Broadband there's a great service Radio@AOL with some good channels. I like 'NME Radio', 'Awesome 80s' and the UK ones. Good tunes on there and in fantastic quality. The same channels and more are also available free to everyone as Radio@NetscapePlus although at lower quality.

[dave37] 05/12/2003 17:22

mr potato head, yes, i did, took about two minutes to get it.....

Samg99......do you listen to classic gold? (they're on the net)

they play all those songs on there......here's a link........



great music seven days a week......

[agent007] 05/12/2003 14:53

zaxx can't actually see any conflict in what we each wrote about windows but hey it was only a two sentence summary!

Doc Cox... aka Ivor Biggun :lol:

No votes for Jon & Vangelis yet? Some top songs... I Hear You Now, Find My Way Home, State Of Independence, etc. Poodle rock I suppose!

I tend to rate songs more for the music than the lyrics. Well half the time can't tell what the heck they're singing anyway! :-)

[wally123] 05/12/2003 10:16

Mrs N - LOL, i dont think there is a record anywhere that can match that one!. I know Chuck berry did "My ding a ling" but even that doesnt come close.

Sam - thanks, im lucking forward to it, i like to keep a wide range of different artists and keep my mind open. I notice you refer to the Harold Melvin original of "If you dont know me by now". Normally i would say you cant beat the original but in the case of Mick Hucknall i have to say he has a fantastic voice imo and covered it well. I also thought his recent cover in the charts currently is very nice. He is a very confident singer who is improving with age.

[niggle] 05/12/2003 10:05

have to admit it, we have a copy of 'that' song ;-))
