sadlady Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Got my vote Phil and Laurie. It'd be nice to see Oz Group The Seekers get into our Ten. It's a great song. My favorite of their's is The Carnival Is Over, but that didn't chart in the U.S., despite reaching #1 in the U.K. and Australia. hiya, old55, i'm kinda new...i'm still only a frog, i think....i just wanted to tell you how much i laughed about your signature, i absolutely love pigs!!!

OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thank you and a very Big Welcome Sadlady. We don't like to see anyone sad here. How about joining this lovely band of people we have here and nominating a couple of songs for the Top Ten ? If you're not sure what to do, I'm sure there's plenty of willing helpers, including me.

katie_sane Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Got my vote Phil and Laurie. It'd be nice to see Oz Group The Seekers get into our Ten. It's a great song. My favorite of their's is The Carnival Is Over, but that didn't chart in the U.S., despite reaching #1 in the U.K. and Australia. My mum loves 'The Carnival Is Over' SO much!! I remember someone sang it on the last night of the Royal Easter Show when it moved from Moore Park to Homebush Bay, I think mum cried! When we were kids, mum used to sing my brother and I to sleep at night with 'Morningtown Ride' by The Seekers. Ahh, the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mando Diao - Long Before Rock n Roll (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!) (2006) I was quite surprised by that nomination, Dappled it's a cool song though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I hate to say this, but Terry Stafford's version of "Suspicion" absolutely kills Elvis', which was released a couple of years prior. The trumpet and female backing singers really make it. Does everyone know Aretha Franklin's "Think" is the song she sang in the cafe in the "Blues Brothers" movie ? I didn't know it had been nominated before. Well done Dappled. .................................................. I didn't put videos on for my nominations, so here we go: You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield She would have to've be the world's most awful mimer/lip syncher ! I Am A Rock - Simon & Garfunkel .................................................. Thanks for the Faith Hill clip Shawna. What a woman! (Of course, that could mean either Faith Hill or Shawna).

CanAm Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Laurie pipped me at the post on American Woman so I'll have to make do with these: 1. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez. Even though I like the Band's original version, this is one cover I like better than the original. Link 2. The Shape I'm In - The Band I'm glad to see that the Seekers have a nominated song. I've got most of their albums and their greatest hits CD. I don't think they received the respect they deserve. Georgy Girl is a great song, but they have so many others. Among my favourites are Come The Day, A World Of Our Own, Rattler, Someday, One Day and Red Rubber Ball which was, I believe, a hit for The Cyrkle.

OLD 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yes Dappled, I agree. Bruce Woodley co-wrote "Red Rubber Ball" with Paul Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 1. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez. Even though I like the Band's original version, this is one cover I like better than the original. 2. The Shape I'm In - The Band CanAm - is "The Shape I'm In" the same song that Fleetwood Mac did a live version of on their "Live" CD back in the '80s? Can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to And also - I love Joan Baez's version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." That's one of those tunes that gives me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
