Sausage Rollo

I have confirmed something I think fits this theme.

We both got double 39 today! Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 2 Get The Party Started, Family Portrait

Round 1: 27 At Midnight, That's What Friends Are For, Bryan Adams Round 2: 36 Terence Trent D'Arby or Free (I should have got Terence but I immediately thought of Wet Wet Wet but that was Wishing I Was Lucky) 3 in 10: 3 Bermuda Triangle, Copacabana, Mandy

Round 1: 36 Lonely (I guessed Alone) Round 2: 33 The year, One (I knew it wasn't going to be Two so guessed Three) 3 in 10: 3 Writing To Reach You, Sing, Flowers In The Window Not listening live, I have the advantage of pausing it so I'm not beaten to a song title by the contestant.

9th - 15th September 1965 29. Hang On Sloopy - The McCoys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PP54PeysNM Hearing this on the radio in the 1970s and not paying attention to the lyrics, I thought it was about Snoopy the dog. It's still a catchy, fun tune. First recorded by The Vibrations in 1964, the Dave Clark Five were ready to record a cover before The McCoys beat them to it, reaching the UK top 5 and the top of the Billboard chart. 33. Whatcha Gonna Do About It? - The Small Faces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD3VK14QK-g The London band's debut single has a raspy lead vocal and some guitar feedback, one of those songs that sounds ahead of its time. 36. It's All Over Now Baby Blue - Joan Baez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVD2_dt_5Jw A cover of the Bob Dylan song which she sings very well, accompanied by her acoustic guitar. 39. Eve Of Destruction - Barry McGuire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJLokS0H-ZQ This is certainly worthy of the record of the week but just misses out. It's a powerful protest song written by P F Sloan and will be an American number 1 as well as a top 3 hit in the UK. This rough vocal was not intended to be the final one but it got leaked to a radio station and the reaction was so good, it was the version that was released. It will be the only hit for the singer who is now 89 years old. Record of the week : 32. California Girls - The Beach Boys So I've gone with something a bit lighter, one of this group's best known songs. The prelude at the beginning is an unusual way to start a pop song before going into the main melody which has those familiar chord changes and vocal harmonies. The single will peak at number 26, their fourth hit in a row to miss the top 20.

Lots of 39s for both of us! Round 1: 39 💥 Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 3 A Forest, The Walk, The Lovecats

Round 1: 33 The year, Fastlove Round 2: 36 The year 3 in 10: 2 Cornflake Girl, Professional Widow

Well done John on three 39s. Round 1: 30 Young Americans, Slade Round 2: 33 Go Let It Out 3 in 10: 3 Daydream Believer, I'm A Believer, Alternate Title

They've put yesterday's up now. Monday: Round 1: 36 The year (one year out) Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 3 Ride A White Swan, Hot Love, Metal Guru Today: Round 1: 30 Iggy Pop, Madonna/Evita Round 2: 36 The year (one year out) 3 in 10: 3 Goldfinger, Big Spender, History Repeating

2nd - 8th September 1965 30. Just A Little Bit Better - Herman's Hermits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na1uErlSY0g A cover of a Kenny Young song from the previous year. It's not bad but the "uh ho ho"s were irritating and the short guitar solo was the best bit. 37. Tears - Ken Dodd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1ShRxuAnY A song that goes back to 1930 and this cover keeps faithfully to the sound of that era. I'm not sure why it took off so much, it will spend five weeks at number 1 and be the best selling single of the year and the third best seller of the 1960s. 38. I'll Never Get Over You - The Everly Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x2fEhFNFhw After reaching number 2 with their last single, the Everlys will have to settle with a peak of 35 for this one. On this stereo version, I liked the drums being put out to the left with the harmonica on the right but the song itself was forgettable. 40. You're My Girl - The Rockin' Berries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XtaII764C8 This will be the last top 40 hit for this group who are still going. The lead singer shows his range with some falsetto vocals. Record of the week : 32. Look Through Any Window - The Hollies This is certainly the best song this week, it's about looking from the windows of your house onto the street outside rather than walking along the street and looking through each window that you pass which would be a bit nosey and intrusive. Co-written by Graham Gouldman, the vocal harmonies, guitars and drums all combine well to give the Hollies another top 5 smash, peaking at number 4.

Chelsea 2-0 Fulham Manchester United 1-0 Burnley Sunderland 1-1 Brentford Tottenham 2-1 Bournemouth Wolves 0-0 Everton Leeds 2-2 Newcastle Brighton 1-2 Manchester City Nottingham Forest 3-1 West Ham United Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal Aston Villa 2-1 Crystal Palace

Have a good holiday, Jade. Round 1: 36 Living In A Box Round 2: 33 Wigan's Chosen Few (I went for the other one, Wigan's Ovation) 3 in 10: 3 I Feel You, Insania, Mysterious Girl

26th August - 1st September 1965 19. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOfCgkyEj0 Clocking in at more than six minutes, this will have an impact on how long a single can actually be. The parts on the Hammond organ are the highlight for me along with the harmonica and guitars. I'm still not a fan of his vocal delivery so this 'Rolling Stone' all time poll topper isn't my record of the week. 27. The Time In Between - Cliff Richard and The Shadows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAcyHB8oYaY After Cliff's last single broke his run of top 10 hits, this will do even worse, giving him his lowest chart peak so far at number 22. It's pleasant enough, though, with a Latin American style rhythm to it. 32. Laugh At Me - Sonny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PcfDSPQFD0 The third week in a row we have a new entry by Sonny or Cher or both. I liked the use of the tubular bells while the vocal style is very Dylan-esque. It will turn out to be Sonny's only solo hit. 39. Paradise - Frank Ifield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZdObIefd08 This sounds very outdated in 1965, his unmistakeable yodelling style is still present. 40. Il Silenzio - Nini Rosso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uPeKFkSUWI The best discovery of the week, this trumpet led tune from Italy is wonderful, it's not quite an instrumental, there's a spoken word section in the middle. It will reach number 8 and sell 10 million copies worldwide. Record of the week : 15. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones One of my favourite songs by this band with its notable guitar riff and rebellious lyrics. It will be the Stones' fourth consecutive number 1, spending two weeks at the top of the chart, and also their first US number 1 single.

Sorry, Wardy, Rolloland is still on a hiatus.

39s for everyone today. Round 1: 33 The Supremes Round 2: 39 💥 3 in 10: 3 Oops I Did It Again, Baby One More Time, Toxic

Yes, I did think of removing the commas from the U2 song. 😃

I've been doing a Countdown style numbers puzzle to try to get 10538 Overture by ELO to its peak position of 9. It took me a while but I've done it: 3 x 8 = 24 -5 = 19 -10 = 9

My favourites would be: A Girl Like You, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, I'm Only Sleeping, Just and Another Cup Of Coffee.

Round 1: 36 Curtis Stigers Round 2: 36 For Always 3 in 10: 3 The Boy In The Bubble, You Can Call Me Al, Mother And Child Reunion

Round 1: 30 The year, Daydream Round 2: 36 Come To Me 3 in 10: 3 Hold Me Now, We Are Detective, You Take Me Up

That last batch is full of good songs. Antmusic and Love On The Rocks are my favourite songs by those two artists and Stop The Cavalry is always welcome to hear every Christmas. I have a copy of the Flash Gordon soundtrack album, the 'Flash' single doesn't appear on it in the same form as it's made up from different tracks, most of which include spoken parts by the cast, but it still works on its own. Don't Walk Away by ELO is fairly unique in that it has two different choruses. The part after the first verse has the song title repeated a few times so could be interpreted as the chorus but the next section could also be called a chorus. Both melodies are used again after the second verse. AI is telling me the third part is the chorus but a lyrics website says the second part is the chorus and the third part is the post chorus. I was able to send an email to Jeff Lynne recently, his management gave out an address to send him messages as he was unable to complete his farewell tour and was recuperating at home. They said he would read every email. If he receives thousands of them, I'm not convinced he will read every one but I would like to hope that he might get round to reading mine.
