Figured out that part, yeah, but then you put the flag after it. Sorry if I'm a little slow ... was it my reference to "streetwalker"?

No worries. I'll have another couple fingers of my friend Jack. JD is expensive here in India, but what the hell, he and I are olllllllld friends.

I didnt think you would get the bob dylan one you suprised me. Im a huge Dylan fan but rejected by society because I like his 70's and 80's stuff, oh well lucky me.
Chers nickname from c-hildhood was "JPC" and that stood for "Just Plain Cher"....lmao....freak but she looks cute sitting on a battle ships main guns with a ribbon for clothing.


Ok Ive decided that I should have a massive 70's FlAsHbAcK to when I was like 6 and recieved my first compliation albums. some of the best music in the world was released in the early 70's and of cause some of the worst.lmao. here we go, so every song below is from the early 70's and from one of two albums I recieved at the time. man what a scary time it was. flares or bell bottoms, starsky and hutch, charlies angels oh yeah. no wonder a guy is so messed up

1) Lady when Im with you Im smiling give me all your love
Your hands build me up when Im sinking, Touch me and my troubles all fade

2) This heres the story of Cassius Clay who changed his name to Muhammad Ali

3) It was on a cold December afternoon, Doesn't seem that long ago
I was sitting on my feet by my old fireplace, When in walked my little girl home from school and I could see that something was wrong by the tears that were rolling down her face

4) I used to be a rolling stone, You know if the cause was right

5) I learned the truth at seve-nteen, That love was meant for beauty queens and high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired

6) Oh, the black-eyed boys, They motor-cycled into town, The people cried, it's the black-eyed gang. All in white, a super band

7) When we were ki-ds I was your friend watching you grow you didn't get much of the love most of us know

8) Met a woman in Vancover, nearly drove me out of my mind

9) Galloping like the prince of darkness out on the northern plain nearly looks like a wave on the ocean, let the clouds drop their rain.

10) Dont you ever let a chance go by ol lord dont you ever let a chance go by

ok a couple of Aussie ones there to see if Mozzie knows her stuff

enjoy

Sir D

Ooohh, lucky me - a personal challenge!

Sure hope you're not too disappointed, SD. This is the best I can do...
4). Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom

7). Gene Pitney - Blue Angel (very sad to hear the news of his passing on his UK tour this month - kudos).

8 ).Gene Pitney - Trans Canada highway

10). Bob Hudson - The Newcastle Song (...hot FJ Holdens with chrome plated grease nipples and double reverse overhead twin cam door handles).

I knew that being the youngest in a large family, with a huge gap between me and my siblings would come in useful one day...

No one checked in but mozzie and I?

Here is another:

1) Styx "Lady"

Domo arigato, Darkfather-o for this always stimulating diversion.

Number 5 is "At 17" by Janis Ian

Wow, never heard of Jimmy Nail, so I'm guessing he didn't do much in the USA. Steve Earle and Chris Ledoux are/were country singers I think, and RM doesn't do Country. OR Western. (tribute to one of the best movies of all time, The Blues Brothers).

There was lots and lots of fantastic music from the early 70s, although it went downhill by the mid-70s. And I usually know stuff from that time pretty well (although I often forget what I had for lunch the previous day), but it has to have been somewhat known in the US. I know very little Aussie stuff.

I knew a grand total of 3 from this set, and two are already gone (Elton John and Styx). The Janis Ian song tickled my memory, great snag Dionysus, pretty impressive. The only one I can add is

#6 -- Black-Eyed Boys, by Paper Lace again.

Good luck on others.

RM

I only recall one song about Muhammad Ali, so I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say number 2 is "In Zaire".

Ok time to put you all out of your missery

1) Styx – Lady
2) Johnny Wakelin & The Kinshasa Band - Black Superman - Muhammed Ali
3) William Shakespear – My Little Angel
4) Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom
5) Janis Ian – At Seve-nteen
6) Paper lace – the black eyed boys
7) Gene Pitney – Blue Angel
8) Gene Pitney – Trans Canada Highway
9) Daryl Braithwaite - Cavalry
10) Bob Hudson - The Newcastle Song

you guys are good, they were hard damn hard

and here are the links for the compilation albums I got the songs from if anyone is interested.

Thanks, SD, I'm interested and very grateful.

Ok time for the next set, I dont think I would know any Girl grunge bands so RM I'll let you have the next go........lmao.....joking mate.

1) All day staring at the ceiling, making friends with shadows on my wall.

2) Workin' like a dog for the boss man, Workin' for the company, I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin' I'm gonna have a fantasy

3) If you see me walking down the street, Staring at the sky dragging my two feet

4) Chill out, What you yellin for? Lay back, It's all been done before.

5) Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

6) It's been a long time since I Rock and Rolled, It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.

7) I Am Jeremiah Dixon, I Am A Geordie Boy, A Glass Of Wine With You, Sir, And The Ladies I'll Enjoy

8) Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind

9) You and I in a little toy shop, Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

10) So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for I. You know that if we are to stay alive. Then see the peace in every eye.

I forgot to mention that the song "the flame still burns" was from the motion picture soundtrack of the film still crazy. quite a beauty the film staring some fine people Billy Connelly one of them.

REVIEW
Still Crazy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Director: Brian Gibson. Cast: Stephen Rea, Jimmy Nail, Bill Nighy, Juliet Aubrey, Timothy Spall, Billy Connolly, Helena Bergström, Bruce Robinson, Hans Matheson, Rachael Stirling. Screenplay: Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not quite a drama but not quite a comedy, Brian Gibson's Still Crazy follows the endeavors of Strange Fruit, a band who lapsed dramatically from its arena-filling glory days of the 1970s and now, twenty years later, wishes to make a comeback. The reasons for their resurgent interest in music-making and performance—all the more surprising a development since even their re-recruited manager Karen remembers that "you all hated each other there at the end"—are variously explained but never compellingly, and we are never sure precisely why these characters are doing what they are doing, or to what end the movie is taking them.

I've been stumped lately, so I'll grab the easy one

#6 Rock and Roll, Led Zepellin

Ah, two classic '80's back to back I can't resist...

8 ) s-s-s-s-a-a-a-a, screw that! Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

9)Nena "99 Red/Luftballoons"
