Tunnel of Love

You are in Dire Straits if you think the Bruce Springsteen track has been covered by the Fun Boy Three.

  2. I would like to nominate the 25 or more different songs called Going Home. In particular we could have Alvin Lee perform the 13 minute version of the Ten Years After song made famous at Woodstock, see previous thread.
    Or we could have, in honour of the late musician, much lauded elsewhere, Bert Jansch - Going Home.
    Or we could have something else. I expect we'll have something else.

      At Scotch Git's age, one tranny at a time is the golden rule.

      What is this stereo thing the young folk keep banging on about?

    With that in mind;

    Why / Rascal Flatts
    Why / Carly Simon

    Beautiful World / Colin Hay
    Beautiful World / Dierks Bentley & Patty Griffin

    How Come / Ray LaMontagne
    How Come / Ronnie Lane

    No Doubt About It / Paul Carrack
    No Doubt About It / The Shirelles

    Need to go for some Optrex and a lie doon noo, lie doon noo.

  11. I think when we've done this before I came up with 15 "Angels".
    I'll stick with the "A"s and go with:

    The Jam - "All Around The World" - Lisa Stansfield (the latter being a tragic story of a woman who has carelessly lost her child and despite looking literally eveywhere, can't find him/her)

    Lionel Richtea - All Night Long - Rainbow - (the latter putting the P and C into PC)

  12. Iris Dement - My Life - Billy Joel

    Iris for SG and me.

      Why, thank you kind sir!

      SG is going for

      The Best is Yet to Come - Clifford T. Ward

      after being cruelly denied last time out by

      The Best is Yet to Come - Tony Bennett & Diana Krall

      Paolo still owes me a large whiskey for that...

    2. What a shame, she was the disco diva

      Normandy Hotel, Thursday night efter fitba' trainin', pint of lager shandy.

      I Feel Love seemed to last about 2 hours...happy days.

      Al.

  14. I always liked her, ever since she ran up 20 flights of stairs to record Love to love you baby.

  15. Just devastated.

    Donna Summer was my mother.

    Well I never saw that coming - I remember when poor Whitney died saying how unfair it was that she was credited with inventing disco singing when my mum had started it all along, twinned with Georgio's synth beats, Donna is the truly dance defining artist of all time. I Feel Love is as fresh and relevant today as it was on the day of it's release.

    Well, even Megrahi must be taken aback,

    regardez youse

  16. From that "it's" I deduce that you are indeed Bryan Burnett.

    I see Megrahi's on a drug that won't be available in Scotland. Lucky he's shown how ineffective it is.
