June 12, 200718 yr Author Paul Simon's most famous (certainly in the UK) solo hit single is "You Can Call Me Al". Another singer that you can certainly call Al is.... HTypaz4IJlE Al Stewart - The Year Of The Cat
June 12, 200718 yr Ahh, great choice. The Chinese don't have a year of the cat. However, they do have a year of the sheep. So, Pink Floyd - Sheep VGurfyISnN8

June 13, 200718 yr :o At least you've made it easy for me to choose something better. Fairly obvious but Divine Comedy - Becoming More Like Alfie v5o0dwRc0HE
June 13, 200718 yr Michael Caine starred in 'Alfie' and he also played the title role in 'Get Carter'. (I was going to link to Carter USM but I think I already have so...) Stereolab once recorded a pretty ace cover of Roy Budd's Theme to Get Carter so... Stereolab - French Disko
June 13, 200718 yr The worst example of French Disco .......ever VA_hY0WEYfU Serge Gainsbourg - Sea, Sex And Sun
June 13, 200718 yr Author And even more hideous record where you can find Sea, Sex & Sun in close proximity is: uMO86BxksPs T-Spoon - Sex On The Beach
June 13, 200718 yr Time to raise the standard again. No sign of a video but - from a Peel Sessions compilation - Where's The Beach - Tripping The Luv Fantastic
June 13, 200718 yr Time to raise the standard again. No sign of a video but - from a Peel Sessions compilation - Where's The Beach - Tripping The Luv Fantastic ??? is the band Where's The Beach or the song??? when is this from??? btw wiki tells me that: In the 1980s Peel set up the Strange Fruit record label with Clive Selwood to release material recorded by the BBC for Peel Sessions so the next record is Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit!!! standards increase yet again. h4ZyuULy9zs
June 14, 200718 yr Standards lowered again. 80's Melbourne pop- girl - punkers p3RxSAxP2bY The Fruit Pastilles I Don't Ever Want To See You Again
June 14, 200718 yr A homophone of pastilles is Pastels. I'm not that fond of The Pastels though, I prefer their contemporaries The Vaselines. The Vaselines - Son of a Gun
June 14, 200718 yr ??? is the band Where's The Beach or the song??? when is this from??? btw wiki tells me that: In the 1980s Peel set up the Strange Fruit record label with Clive Selwood to release material recorded by the BBC for Peel Sessions The song is on a Peel Sessions collection (on Strange Fruit) from 1991 and the session was recorded in August 1989. John Peel's sleeve notes give details of a few of the bands but not Where's The Beach unfortunately. I'd never heard of them before I got the album and don't recall hearing of them ever again. It's a sot of indie-dance type song and should have been a huge hit - assuming it was ever released. Anyway, back to the chain and from Son of a Gun let's have Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man vhaYayqqGVU
June 14, 200718 yr A homophone of pastilles is Pastels. I'm not that fond of The Pastels though, I prefer their contemporaries The Vaselines. The Vaselines - Son of a Gun Y9JeTobqfsk to JX - Son Of A Gun
June 14, 200718 yr Oo-er, double posting...I'll assume that went from Son of a Gun to Son of a Preacher Man to Son of a Gun again then! JX was Jake Williams and (rumour has it - although I've never had it confirmed) is still working today under the nom de plume of Rex the Dog. So, taking the first part of his new name and adding another letter and punctuation mark... T-Rex - Solid Gold Easy Action

T-Rex - Solid Gold Easy Action discogs has no artists with the name Solid Gold Easy Action but they do have a Solid Gold Easy Amex - Enjoy which is according to the dude on the site 'the greatest Balearic tune of all time' (?!?!?!?!?) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Redboxenjoy.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/Redboxchenko.jpg http://www.discogs.com/release/98425 it feats a band called red box and was remixed by paul oakenfold wuN9q5AbCJU as Oakenfold's tunes will be too modern the next record has to be the 1987 promo video of Red Box - Chenko (tenka-io) mainly as its got an odd title!!! (however OMG! wiki obsessives!!! looks like we got a devotional random fanbase on that site!?!?!? :o )
June 14, 200718 yr No reason to restrict ourselves to red boxes. Let's have boxes of various colours, Pete Seeger - Little Boxes
June 14, 200718 yr Author In 2006 Bruce Springsteen did an album of Pete Seeger songs called We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. Hence lets have The Boss' best song (IMHO): 0aRhqVWUPPs Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
