As there appear to be fewer and fewer posts to this thread, how about suggesting some good songs for a "garden" top 10. I haven't had time to finish thinking about my personal top 20 yet, but here's one to add to the garden however-many-it-is-now - Misalliance, by Flanders & Swann: The fragrant honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun, And many other creepers do the same. But some climb anti-clockwise, the bindweed does, for one, Or Convolvulus, to give her proper name. Rooted on either side a door, one of each species grew, And raced towards the window-ledge above. Each corkscrewed to the lintel in the only way it knew, Where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled, and fell in love. Said the right-handed honeysuckle to the left-handed bindweed, "Oh, let us get married, if our parents don't mind, we'd Be loving and inseparable, inextricably entwined, we'd Live happily ever after" said the honeysuckle to the bindweed. To the honeysuckle's parents it came as a shock. "The bindweeds," they cried, "are inferior stock! They're uncultivated, of breeding bereft, We twine to the right and they twine to the left." Said the anti-clockwise bindweed to the clockwise honeysuckle, "We'd better start saving, many a mickle macks a muckle, Then run away for a honeymoon and hope that our luck'll Take a turn for the better" said the bindweed to the honeysuckle. A bee who was passing remarked to them then, "I've said it before and I'll say it again, Consider your offshoots, if offshoots there be, They'll never receive any blessing from me". "Poor little sucker, how will it learn, When it is climbing, which way to turn? Right, left, what a disgrace, Or it may go straight up and fall flat on its face!" Said the right-hand-thread honeysuckle to the left-hand-thread bindweed, "It seems they're against us, all fate has combined. Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Colombine, Thou art lost and gone forever, we shall never intertwine". Together, they found them, the very next day, They had pulled up their roots and just shrivelled away. Deprived of that freedom for which we must fight, To veer to the left or to veer to the right! |

Dean Martin had a great surge in popularity a while back Tig, after an advert used one of his songs. So someone working in a record shop told me. You're just ahead of the game |

A packet of very good seed for the first person who can tell me Mr Cooke's first name......

Whilst there is no "E" in Cook - I added that to stop Tig googling ;D DJ Fat Boy Slim - AKA Norman Cook - First name is ...... Quentin! And as both he and Paul Heaton (now of the "Beautiful South") went to school together in shandy drinking Reigate, Surrey.....it makes a bit of a mockery of album titles such as "Hull 4 - London 0". Well is does....if you come from Hull and knew the boys well So, onto other songs before returning, normally I hate soppy duos, but this one contains both a heart throb and Paul Young....listen out for the immortal line "Look at me....I'm a flower!" This video was cutting edge trickery at the time. Neither singer had even met and only did so several months AFTER the video was shot. |

Oh Tig, I shed many a tear listening to "The First Cut is the Deepest" over a boy I went out with as a teenager. I met up with him last year, through Friends Reunited. All dressed up and full of hope off I went, only to find an ugly, pompous, pretentious wee man, who thought he was a catch. Yuck. Never listened to Depeche Mode, I was depressed through the eighties |

I would hate to see any of the lads I dated back in the late 60's - they might all be bald and fat now, which would shatter my memories of taut bodies and long hair!  (then again I'm no oil painting these days ;D) x Tig |
