O/T Songs That Remind You Of...well, owt really.

I got that impression of him ( never met him ) but beating up Ian Dury is a definate NO NO under the circumstances......lol

Lbj, you have slightly extrapolated from what I said. The circumstances were that on a Stiff tour ID was heading to the stage and simply fell over. As I and a colleague went over to help him up a furious EC (who had clearly recently visited a state in South America) rushed up and accused us of attacking ID and then came out with the bollox I mentioned above. He also threatened to get his roadies to do us over. the guy is a complete rrsehole but most people think he's great. Which is why I dont give much of a f*ck for majority opinions.

Barry Manalow was played during hoovering by my mother so every time I hear him it reminds me of her.

She'll be devistated now he's come out

No need to explain - never thought you were attacking them - the "beating up" jest was just that - a jest....

Good story though.....

You have similar views to me, even down to the " allbran " ....although I have to admit to putting a couple of prunes on mine....so perhaps I'm more of a regular type of guy.

Elvis Costello, what a legend!

I don't have a claim to fame although the house I live in used to have all-night parties with the likes of Tom Jones, Screaming Lord Sutch, Paul Nicholas and many others attending.

Back in the early 70's at the Cavendish / Bailey Suite I let my girlfriend ( now my beloved ) to dance with Les Gray & the rest of the lads from Mud.
They must have been playing Sheff Uni like Led Zep, Paul Macca & others did in those days.
To cut a long story short my girlfriend dumped Les Gray & came home with me.....
Every cloud has a silver lining...I hope it does anyway.

HAPPY DAYS.

But dancing in my beautiful cherry Red Martins ( sole glowed under the lights )
To: All things Motown.....&

The liquidator - Harry J & the All Stars

Double Barrel - Dave & Ansell Collins

Return of the Django - The up setters

The friendship always had the same last track and I'm humming it now....if anyone knows the tune - let me know....

O'h...and ..... ULLY - BULLY phonetic - but the dance was VERY energetic and you kicked the arse of a person next to you going one way and he reciprocated on the return - normally the person was some version of a skin head....

Very Happy days....
