First song played on Radio1

Not exakkly- I know the BeeGees did Jive Talkin'- did they have some connection with Chorlton?

You can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, to time to talk.

Mack the Knife gets my vote: Walter can fill in detail about Kurt Weil and Lotte Lenya.

He could, if he would.

(Wasn't there one on Abuzz centuries back?)

I can officially guarantee I have no clue what you are talking about. Why are you talking like spendius? Stick around fer chrissakes, and get over it. We LIKE you and your brethren. :wink: honestly.

I shall attempt to spread the love:

I love to love you baby...

When you're laying so close to me
there's no place I'd rather you be
than with me here

I love to love you baby...

Do it to me again and again
you put me in such an awful spin
in a spin

I love to love you baby...

Lay your head down real close to me
soothe my mind and set me free
set me free

I love to love you baby...

When you're laying so close to me
there's no place I'd rather you be
than with me here

I love to love you baby...

Do it to me again and again
you put me in such an awful spin
in a spin

I love to love you baby...

I love to love you baby...

I love to love you baby...

Love to love you baby baby...

I love to love you baby...

When you're laying so close to me
there's no place I'd rather you be
than with me here

I love to love you baby...

Do it to me again and again
you put me in such an awful spin
in a spin

I love to love you baby

Lay your head down so close to
soothe my mind and set me free
set me free

I love to love you baby

When you're laying so close to me
there's no place I'd rather you be
than with me here

I love to love you baby

Best Donna Summer song ever, IMO...prove me wrong, I dare ya.

I actually own a wonderful copy of Kurt Wiel's Threepenny Opera with Lotte Lenya singing. Nice stuff.

Marc Almond from Soft Cell was recovering from a bike accident...I loved the Mark-Almond Band and their song "The City"

Cav, what's Sarah on about?

Sarah, I invited you to the party, but you didn't show up. I was hoping you'd give me a quick shag in the closet, but I waited and waited...

Hate it when birds play hard to get Kicky...

Shag in the closet! Moi! closets here in blighty are very small and my particular technique requires a large amount of floor space.

I may be a bird (I love that word) but I'm not playing hard to get (as if) I just cannot join you on some threads........yet. Prepare boys!

Keppel Road is where the heebie geebies grew up, and if I'm not mistaken...there is an album called Keppel Road.

Okay then....whose 'suki tawdry' (that's what it sounds like) and ole Lucy Brown?

Oh the shark babe, has such teeth dear, and he shows them peeeerly white.

Panzade, thanks so much for the extremely interesting piece on Mac the Knife....i'm so ignorant as to the origins of the song.

Checked out the credits on the Cd...Weill/Brecht/Marc Blitzstein.

Does he say 'Suki Tawdrey' I can't make out the lyric?

Talking of miss-heard lyrics, do you remember the Desmond Dekker song 'The Israelites' and everyone thought he was singing 'me ears are alight'!

Mr Sarah thought the first line to Love is the Drug by Roxy Music was 'T'aint no Big Dick'

I'm getting major deja vu here...

Sarah, Suky Tawdry and Lucy Brown are characters (prostitutes) in 3Penny Opera.

Thanks Mac11 :wink:

Then there's always: ""Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

What! you mean he doesn't say that! :wink:

Funny how lyrics can sound.

My cousin thought the Beach Boys lyric "Went to a dance/ Looking for romance..." was "looking for a man".

Then there's "Happiness is a warm gun"

McTag, I thought it was went to a dance/looking for a mance....just thought it was an 'American' thing.

Ruth (Daughter and heiress to the Morgan fortunes) heard a girl on the bus singing 'Papa don't preach, I'm in purdapeep'

I love that one and tax it frequently, as in "Oh, no, I'm in right purdapeep now!"

Okay I'll buy....not being a Madonna? fan....what's the correct lyric?

As far as I remember, Lucy Brown is the daughter of chief of police, Tiger Brown. :wink:

Re: Walter Pigeon


A small misunderstanding here, I think. I guess from what you wrote earlier, you work/ worked in the building at the bottom of Bridge Street, across from the Pump House?

I (Walter's friend, in case you hadn't guessed....unless he's got another one or two he's not told me about yet...I was that soldier) used to work in the Town Hall.

I like the welter of pop memorabilia going on here, although I am old and am firmly convinced that no worthwhile pop music has been made since 1975.... :wink:
