Sir Gnome! Good to see you hear in the hallowed halls of Darkstar's thread. Want some coffee? Diet Coke? Or perhaps some Masala Chai?

Don't be hatin', you know I've got nothing but love and respect for both you and SD. My joke -- actually South Park did it first, using the Stevie Nicks/Goat comparison in a famous episode -- was simply targeted at Sir Darkstar, as I know he's a Stevie fan. Didn't know you were a fan as well. She really wasn't all that bad (when she was yuhnger), but I always liked Christine McVie's voice better. Anyway, as far as lopping off my head goes, you'll probably have to get in line behind Darkie-Dark. You could maybe dance around my bleeding (bleating?) corpse.

Not sure if he's going to give me credit for #6 given my entry above, so just to be sure -- yes folks its an Aussie band, the Divinyls -- I touch myself.

I think that leaves only #5. I don't know but I'll make a guess. How about Smokey? Now he's really gonna kill me.


RM

p.s. Evanescence did that song? Is that right? Wow. I really love Amy Lee's voice. Pity they do god-rock though. I have an acoustic recording of "Bring Me To Life" that is just phenomenal (not online though, sorry).

No. 2 is The Weight by The Band.

Whoops! Forgot to mention in my last post.

RM can you hear the swish of the scickle?

ok heres the next few to keep you busy

1 - Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell, Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high, Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder, The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

2 - But all of her friends stuck up there nose they had a problem with his baggy clothes.

3 - six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream, I was kissin' Valentino by crystal blue italian stream.

4 - The night I laid my eyes on you, I felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way, But you knew all the words to say

5 - That boy is working you, be careful what you do, They say he's nothing but trouble with an attitude. Well, meaning interventions, my friends with good intentions, Say, "if you don't walk away, girl, you must be crazy".

6 - I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, I'll tell you that, But if I didn't say it, Well, I'd still have felt it, Where's the sense in that?

7 - Drums keep pounding a rythem to the brain, Charleston was once the rage, History has turned the page, The miniskirt's the current thing, Teeny bopper is the new born king.

8 - I'll tell you what I've done, I'll tell you what I'll do, Been driving all night, Just to get close to you

9 - Your like Voodoo baby, you just take hold, put your cards on the table baby, do I twist, do I fold.

10 - You really don't remember, was it something that he said, Are the voices in your head calling.

go to town gentlemen, I expect big thngs from you RM

No. 03 is The Bangles - Manic Monday

#7 Sonny & Cher - And The Beat Goes On

Oh, is THAT what that was? I thought it was Grimble swooshing in to steal my Prawns Masala last night. Hmmm. Come to think of it, my hair does seem a bit shorter today.

Speaking of Stevie Nix, Sri Darkstar, have you ever heard Tori Amos' awesome acoustic cover of "Landslide"? I know you're a TA fan too. Highly recommended.

Ya know, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that .......

Tougher set this time around. But you didn't really think you'd sneak some chick-rock by me, did you?

#1. Alannah Myles -- Black Velvet. Another good Canadian singer/songwriter, but she's a one-hit wonder now.
#2. Avril Lavigne -- Skater Boy (I am 40 years old, I do NOT write Sk8er, and I know how to spell Boy).
#6. Dido -- White Flag

#8 -- song is "Sleeping in My Car", one of my ex-gf's was a singer in a band that covered that song. I don't know the name of the group that did it, but I can hear them in my head -- one of those annoying light punk shitty bands from the 80s (sorry, just my opinion).

Great pickup Nopoop! Had no idea about that one.

RM

Thanks ramblin' man. I guess I'm showin' my age 'cause that song was the first song I ever recorded off the radio and the recorder was a portable reel to reel tape recorder with 3 inch tape spools.
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH GGGGOOOODDDD IIII'MMMM SSSSOOOO OOOOOLLLLLDDDD! Could some nice person please pass me my cane?
nopoop

Geeeeez talk about letting the side down.

whats wrong with you guys?

1 - Alannah Myles - Black Velvet (RM)
2 - Avril Lavigne - Skater Boy (RM)
3 - The Bangles - Manic Monday (Esteban)
4 - Blondi - Rapture
5 - Delta Goodrem - I Don't Care
6 - Dido -- White Flag (RM)
7 - Sonny & Cher - And The Beat Goes On (nopoop)
8 - Roxette - Sleeping in My Car (1/2 RM)
9 - Rogue Traders - Voodoo Ch-ild
10 - Laura Branigan - Gloria

All Chick bands or solo artists, except for Sonny of sonny and cher but I was always a bit suss about him anyways.

thought you had more to offer RM cause you are a chick band specialist, did I expect to much? maybe when you get older.....lol

NO REALYY well done everyone that was pretty hard.

I have a few things on on Saturday which is only an hour away so I'll come back in 24 hours and post another one.

everyone give yourselves a pat on the back.

Sheesh, SD, I think being a mod here now is making you a bit testy. Take 2 Roxana's and call me in the morning.

Knew the Blondie and Laura B song as well, but didn't want to be too greedy. had no idea on #5, 7, and 9 but thankfully Nopoop was "showing his age" as he said and snagged 7. When it comes to Sonny and Cher, I think I know "I got you babe" but that's about it.

Have fun on Saturday SD and thanks for continuing this thread.

RM

p.s. I'm only about a month older than you O Dark One...

Uhhhmmm...I have to take you to task on this last one, S_D! #3, while recorded by the Bangles, was actually written by Prince!

= )~

you forgot to send them around RM, quick I need all the help I can get.
maybe 2 Roxana's, a Sheryl and a Delta


Just when you think Life is Merry again a little voice in the back sais

Yes I realise that it was written by Prince But I believe taht it was originally recorded by the Bangles, just like Hazy Shade of Winter was written by Paul Simon but given to the bangles to record.

I hope Im right on this, I havent had my Roxana's, Sheryl and Deltas this morning

New one coming up very shortly

ok lets keep it happening here

1 - wont be the first heart that you break, wont be the last beautiful girl, the one that you wrecked wont take you back if you were the last beautiful girl in the world.

2 - I'd never tell you a lie, I'd never let you down, I'd never leave I'd be the one who'd always be around

3 - I think I've already lost you, I think your already gone, I think I'm finally scared now, you think I'm weak, I think your wrong.

4 - As he came into the window, it was a sound of, a crescendo, He came into her appartment, he left the bloodstains, on the carpet, She ran underneath the table, he could see she was unable, So she ran into the bedroom, she was struck down, it was her doom.

5 - I thought about, leavin but I couldnt even get out of bed, Im hangin cause I couldnt get a ride out of town, now anyone that really wanted me to be down come around.

6 - It's all about the game and how you play it, All about control and if you can take it, All about your debt and if you can pay it, It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.

7 - Its amazing, how you make just like a wall, how you take your heart and turn it off, how I turn my head and lose it all.

8 - Until the break of dawn, Life, Life, and I quote by the letter, Time, Time, Prozac can make it better, Noise, Noise, any kind will do, Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you.

9 - All day, staring at the ceiling, Making friends with shadows on my wall, All night, hearing voices telling me, That I should get some sleep, Because tomorrow might be good for something

10 - Once was a sweet thing, baby, Held that love in our hands, But now I reach to kiss your lips, It just don't mean a thing
