Many of the nominations in this Ten are a nostalgia trip for me; of course I've been around longer than any of you (old fart). I could very easily make a Top Twenty right now. I think I'll apologise in advance for having to leave some great songs out of my Ten.

Two great nominations, although Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music just don't seem to cut it in the States. And that sure is the correct name ! :)

LYRICAL INTERLUDE

You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well

You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle

And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale

The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,

But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast

Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz

But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,

They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary

It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Darryl, I'm in the same boat even though I'm not quite the old fart that you are! :shades: I'll offer up my apologies too.

...and I was just about to tell Katie, yes indeedy, that is the correct song title, and a great nomination too! ;)

There's some beauties Lucky. I'm going through now looking at the videos of songs I don't know, and I just noticed another great 60s song Down In The Boondocks nominated by CanAm. I'll have to find a place for that in my Ten !

And girls your age are considered Chicks to me, Lucky. ;)

P.S. to Joe: I can't view your second song Mate. :P

P.P.S. to Namahage: Local Hero/Wild Theme - Dire Straits.

Thank you for that beautiful song. Mark Knofler is simply a brilliant guitarist. :guitar:
