The Seeker Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 No...they'll be glad because your last name doesn't start with a B. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Do you hope that my last name doesn't start with a "b" (which is true btw), or that this will cause the people to like me more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I hope it doesn't start with a B because that will cause people to like you more. Unless you're called, er, Bauer. Oh whatever. I agree in any case, being chancellor or president isn't much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 10. 80s Ladies ~ KT Oslin (shout-out to S2V - I don't know the song, but I love the words!) Previously I posted just a sampling. Here are the full lyrics. Really a story in poetry. Can anyone relate? We were three little girls from school One was pretty One was smart One was a borderline fool. Was she still good looking? That woman hadn't slipped a bit. The smart one used her head Made her fortune. Me - I cross the border every chance I get. (chorus) We were the girls of the 50's Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's Honey, more than our names got changed As the 70's slipped on by Now we're 80's ladies There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried. We been educated Been liberated And that's complicating matters with men Well, we said, "I do." And we signed 'I don't.' And we swore we'd never do that again We burned our bras and We burned our dinners and We burned our candles at both ends and We had some children who look just like The way we did back then Oh, but we're all grown up now All grown up But none of us can tell you quite how (chorus) (Fades out with affected small girl voice as if jumping rope) A - my name is Alice I'm gonna marry Arnie We're gonna sell apples And live in Arkansas B - my name is Betty I'm gonna marry Bobby We're gonna sell beans And live in Brazil C - my name is Cathy I'm gonna marry Charlie We're gonna sell cars And live in California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 WELL WE HAD A GREAT VOTER TURNOUT. THANKS EVERYBODY. I'm just totting up the Votes now, but here's a clue to #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) You'd better sit down Kids. There never was a real Led Zeppelin Group. The voices were supplied by The Archies, and a clever Puppet Master and his Team manipulated lifelike figures to simulate 'Live' performances. Something like Milli Vanilli; well sort of, but they didn't dance very well. Tomorrow I'll tell you about the centipede that played Jimi Hendrix's guitar for him. Of course, he took all the credit for it. And Kiss were really the Beatles made up after they made up. And the Rolling Stones did gather moss. They had a moss and peat farm near Paul's estate in Scotland. In fact, I'd much rather listen to them than Led Bloody Zeppelin. Boooring Isn't it amazing how different people can have such remarkably different definitions of the word "boring"?

OLD 55 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 One person's meat, Chris. I think they're bigger now in Australia than they were in their U.S. heyday. Most of their songs were too long to get AM Airplay (we only got FM stations as late as the 80s here). You youngsters would know more of their songs than I do, so I'm probably not being completely fair to them. I'd still rather listen to 2 or 3 good Pop Songs in the time of one of the Supergroup 'Marathons'. .................................................. I'm pleased to say that I think we've voted a Great Top Ten here. It's especially gratifying to see a couple of re-nominations make it this time around. Just 60s and 70s again though. Here we go... #34 For The Week Ending 15th October 2006. 1. IMMIGRANT SONG - LED ZEPPELIN 1970 2. HELLO GOODBYE - THE BEATLES 1967 3. SMOKE ON THE WATER - DEEP PURPLE 1972 4. HIT THE ROAD JACK - RAY CHARLES 1961 5. ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT - ELVIS PRESLEY 1960 6. HURRICANE - BOB DYLAN 1975 7. ROXANNE - THE POLICE 1978 8. WAR PIGS - BLACK SABBATH 1970 9. BITCH - THE ROLLING STONES 1971 10.YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND - QUEEN 1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the Thanks, Ron Another set of lyrics I love and I'll have to have a listen to the song... I've fallen in love with a song Joe posted partial lyrics to and then sent me the whole thing.

OLD 55 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Never mind Dappled ! Four songs dominated really. The full Points received (not including those already allotted for Red House) are now in the Archives if you'd like to take a look. Sorry, I don't have time to record the year for each song right now; we'll get to it later. We'd ask everyone to please post any thoughts/comments in this Thread, as we'd like to keep the Archives Thread free for statistics only ! Thanks All. ALSO, Farin and I propose to make the next Top Ten another "no nominations of songs by Artists who've reached #1 in our Top Tens" if that's generally acceptable. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, if I nominate The Who's The Ox, there is a chance that it would be their first number one and also the very first instrumental at the top.

Dappled Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Have ýou noticed that successful groups often have members with names taken from saints, kings and godly people? The Beatles: John (the babtist, the disciple of Jesus) Paul (another disciple) George (the saint who slew the dragon) Richard (Lionheart) Led Zeppelin had John Bonham and John Paul Jones The Who had John Entwistle and Pete Townshend Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkle! How could they not succeed with names like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTallOne Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 We need a thread that charts the statistics of all the nominators, like percentage of songs in top 10, number of songs nominated, votes recieved etc. Even if everyone did their own it would be really cool. Just a thought, don't know how realistic it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
