    	What song features, in the background, some of the dialogue
    from the film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"?
    
    	Keith

    I'm sure it was something by the Kingpin Wheelclamp Band, but can't
    remember the title.

    
    Medicine Show by B.A.D. 
    
    Angry Young Man of Pop !!

    	Go for it!

    
    Come on, another one please!

    
    Connection between Todd Rundgren and Frank Zappa?
    
    David.
    

    Thay both produced Grand Funk Railroad.
    

    
    You got it (bit of an easy one really!!!!)
    
    David.
    

    Hey! Follow the rules, #8!

    what is the only song by The Beatles,in which no Beatle plays on?
    
    guess at .8 ?? Saraha Lee played bass for both bands?
    

Just to tidy up -

The answer to .8 is Robert Fripp, who played guitar for the
League of Gentlemen and produced the Roaches first album (as well as
playing an all-time classic guitar solo on 'Hammond Song').


There now, that should get us back in order (I'm not going to enter
a new one, so the confusion should end now :-) :-)


Cheers,

Derek

    
    excuse me guys, but if you check back its actually my turn as I
    answered the question on The Good,Bad and Ugly question.
    
    
    Therfore :- What is the song being used as the theme tune for 
    "Floyd on G.B. and Ireland"
    
    Angry Young Man of Pop

    Okay then for you guys who did not catch the program last night
    the correct answer is

    ok kids lets have another quessie......
    
    

    
    
    OK..how about..
    
    Q. Which Band plays the intro music for Weekend World?
    

    Is that the show that uses Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain?
    
    Mike

    
    Yup....

    Whats the connection between Paul Mcartney and Robert Wyatt ?
    
    Shouldn't be too difficult.
    
    Mike

    They both have beards (except Paul McCartney).
    
    Richard.

    Both are left handed....???

    Both have recorded Elvis Costello songs - I cant remember which
    one Macca has done, but Robert Wyatt has recorded Shipbuilding.
    
    Bob

    Not having much luck with you today Bob, are you a Declan fan?
    anyway, youre correct. Elvis cowrote a song called back on my feet
    which was on the B side of Once upon a long ago by Macca. Can't
    remember who wrote the music to Shipbuilding - was it Ben Watt?
    
    Mike

    Mike - I am indeed a Dec Mac fan. 
    Shipbuilding is in fact a Costello co-composition with either Langer
    or Winstanley, his producers at one time
    
    OK then, here's the next teaser for y'all....
    What have the following groups got in common...
    
    The Clash, Dire Straits, The Grateful Dead, The Sex Pistols, Cream.
     
    Bob

    They all had a member who was sick/ill/f****d up on drugs ?
    
    John

    They all have the band title in their debut LP?
    
    Ian.

    Are they all signed to CBS in the states ?
    Mike

    .36, .37, .38 may all be right but they arent the connection I'm
    looking for. 
    A clue....
    The common link between them is just one man.....but who is he??
    
    Bob

    Timothy Leary
    

    Alan Ginsberg

    Sorry, its not the 'high' priest of hallucinogenics.
    
    It is a recording star, famous for a good few years now (another
    clue)
    
    Bob

    Eric clapton
    

    No, its not Eric, although he is one of the individuals from one
    of the five bands mentioned who is in some way connected to this
    connection (!)
    
    Bob
    

    
    	John Mayall, oder??
    
    	Doug.

    Not John Mayall, sorry.
    Try someone born in the USA, and its not Loose Windscreen, although
    he was connected to this person in one way, but not the same way
    as the people in the original question (!)
    
    Bob
    
    (answer this afternoon if no takers)

    Chris Spedding ? (sp)
    
    Mike

    
    
    	Bill Price ??
    

    .47, .48
    
    Sorry peeps.
    Its someone *much* famouser than that, if perhaps a little unhip
    right now!
    
    Bob

    Is it a techie type person, a producer or something??

    Even tho Sid did it his way, sorry .50
    Someone *nearly* as famous as Frank, not *quite* as old,
    and about even on the hipness rating
    Previously 'spokesman for a generation'
    Easy, huh??
    
    Bob

                      We have a winner!!!  (.53)
    The connection is as follows - Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Paul Simonon
    (Clash), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits),
    and Eric Clapton (Cream) all appear on a recent Dylan lp, called
    Down in the Groove.
    
    Take it away!
    
    Bob                  
    

re .-1

I didn't know that! 8^), the 'blowing in the wind' bit was a real giveaway!

Ok gang, here it is...

What do the following artists/bands have in common?

Joy Division
The Durutti Column
New Order

	Obscure?, nahhhh! 'tis reeel easy!


			Si

    Well, theyre all from Manchester and all on Factory records
    Zat enuff?
    
    Bob

    
    re .56
    
    Toooo fast!...take it!
    
    			Si

    Connection between the following...
    John Lennon
    Bob Marley
    Frank Zappa
    John Bonham
    Marty Wilde
    
    Bob

    
    re .58 (me again!!)
    
    They all have famous offspring in the pop/rock field 
    
    Yes?
    
    			Si

    Yep!

    
    Whilst on the subject of famous offspring in the muso world, isn't
    it funny that none of the people listed are any good?  Why they
    think they can get away with it just because their father/mother
    did I don't know.  All of the people listed were outstanding in
    their particular music fields., acts that you wouldn't DARE follow.
    Obviously musical talent isn't heriditary.  Worst offender in this 
    category must be the atrocious offspring of the great Nat Kings 
    Loins, Natalie Cole. How on earth did she expect to follow an act
    as good as him?!
    
    	Lee.
    

    Totally agree, .61, especially the Nat Cole part. By the way, didnt
    Mick Jagger also have a relative who had a stab at success a while
    back? Or was it Pete Townsend?
    Also, there are *far* too many Gibb brothers, cousins, sons, uncles
    etc, arent there?
    I just hope Freddie Mercury hasnt got a son lurking around anywhere!
    
    Bob
    
    next question please........whoevers go it is

    Just remembered - the exception that proves the rule.
    Ed Cassidy, father in law of Randy California, both of Spirit, both
    doubleplus damgood
    
    Bob

    re:.62
    
    That's  Pete *Townshend* and younger brother Simon !

	Take it away .....

	Woof bark meow

    Right, then. Who's missing from this list:
    
    Tony Kaye
    Rick Wakeman
    Patrick Moraz
    ????????
    
    Tony

    its ...err..... ummm.....cant remember his name..er
    keyboard player...Yes.
    
    AAAAhhhhhhh!      Geoff Downes
    
    Buggles lives!
    
    Bob

    re. 71 
    
    Yup, Geoffry it is. he used to live round the corner from me. Had
    a white Porsche Carrera parked outside and washed it EVERY sunday!
    
    Tony

    OK then, try this....
    
    Name bands in which the previously mentioned keyboardists (Kaye,
    Moraz, Wakeman and Downes) have played, other than Yes.
    Youve got one already!
    
    Go to it
    
    Bob

    Wakeman - Strawbs
    Kaye    - The Syn ? Mabel Greers Toyshop? Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band?
    Moraz   - Moody Blues?
    
    Tony

    Tony - 2 out of 3 will do.
    Tony Kaye went on to form Badger after Yes - at this time there were
    a lot of bands around with animal type names e.g. Wolf (Darrel Ways
    band after he split from Curved Air), Camel, Matching Mole, and
    Mainhorse Airline, who featured a keyboard player called......
    yes, youve guessed it, Patrick Moraz. I saw them supporting Curved
    Air once, at the Ally Pally, and *boy* were they cr*p!
                                                                   
    You really wanted to know all that, didnt you?
    Take it away.......
    
    Bob

    Okeydokey,
    
    
    What coincidence exists between Barbara Gaskin and Annie Lennox??
    
    Tony
    

    
    1) They've both played with Dave Stewart
    2) They're both women
    
    			
    				Si

    RE.76
    
    ? Dave Stewart
    
    Mazzer
    

    1) Yes, but the interesting part is that it was a different Dave
    Stewart in each case.
    2) Not so, one of them is a man dressed up 8^0 8^)
    
    Tony

    
    What do the follwing artists have in common:
    
    David Bowie
    Mott the Hoople
    
    		Easy peasy, or what?

    What do Level 42 and Go West have in common?
    
    
    
    Michael
    

    Both bands from the Isle of wight??
    Both made videos where one member of band wears white singlet a
    la Brando in Streecar Named Desire.....?
    
    Bob

    
    
    can't categorically refute either suggestion/guess...
    
    but it's not the link I'm thinking of.
    
    
    
    
    Michael

    
    
    That would link 99% of current recording artists.
    
    
    
    MD
    

    the other one percent being Skinead O'Connor
    

    They all wear Doc Martins then ????

    
    The both have the same producer? (no idea who though!)
    
    
    			Si

    Aww come on chaps, give us the answer - it better not have anything
    to do with sweaty vests.

    
    
    Does this mean you give in?
    
    
    

    The hell it does!!!  I think I know the answer - Level 42 'poached'
    a guitarist from Go West fairly recently.  The guy's name slips
    my mind for the moment, but I do recall reading something about
    it in 'Look-in' or summat 8-)
    
    Related question - this guitarist has quite a unique sound to his
    playing.  Can any of you clever noters tell me if it is he who plays
    the excellent solo on Nick Heyward's "Warning Sign" (sadly a non-hit
    from a couple of years ago)?

    Yes, it *is* Andy something....and it's really bugging me too.
    

    Ok guys lets really test you,
    
    	What is Queens only (solo) number one single.
    When was it no 1, for how long, and what record did it knock off
    the number one spot.
    	If you get that lot, then what are the names of the solo projects
    each of the bands members have done. ????

    OK - related to the previous question about 'All The Young Dudes'.
    Now, not a lot of people know this, but Bowie recorded it for inclusion
    on one of his own albums, ditching it at the last minute in favour
    of his cover version of one of his fave groups' lesser hits.
    
    Can someone tell me the name of the album it was to have been included
    on, together with the track which eventually replaced it?
    
    Dougie_who_has_a_b**tl*g_single_of_this_brilliant_outtake (heh,heh)

    Was it replaced on Aladdin Sane by Lets Spend the Night Together?

    Wow!  So quick Bob - yep, that's right.  Hmm, I didn't expect anyone
    to get it with such ease, but WELL DONE!  Take it away.

    related to the last question (in a way)
    What was Mott The Hoople called before Ian Hunter joined them ?
    
    Bob

    Was it just the Hoople??
    
    Tony

    Sorry, Tony. And it wasnt Mott, either.

    Were they called "Silence"???

    The Detours made it big after changing their name (eventually) to
    .......... what?
    
    Dave

    No, sorry.
    
    A sort of clue:
    
    They changed their name from The Detours to The xxxxxxxxxxxxxx then
    to the name by which they are famous. The in-between name would
    be a relative giveaway so I'm not telling you.

    What do the following guitar players have in common...
    
    	Peter Green, Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor
                      

    Have they all played with John Mayall? (I know Mick and Eric have)
    
    Bob

    Spot on Bob. They all played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
    at one time or another.
                         
    Surprised you didn't know your name sake Peter Green did!
    I believe he replaced Eric Clapton.
    
    Your shot Bob...

    Connection between PiL and the Clash.....?
    
    Bob
    

    Keith Levene
    

    Right!!
    Take it YUPPY::OHAGAN.....
    
    Bob (who saw the Clash when Keith Levine was one of their *3* guitarists)

    I've finally thought of a question!
    
    What is the connection between Stackridge and Ultravox.
    
    Answers on a postcard to .....
    
    Mike O'

    Is it anything to do with the Korgis?
    Alan Treebender where are you?
    
    Bob

    .143
    
    No but my original question was going to be a link which included
    the Korgis and Tears For Fears. At some time Andy Davies has played
    for all of them.
    
    Mike O'

    Both bands featured a violinist.........
    but then so did Curved Air, Its a Beautiful Day, Bethnal, The Doctors
    of Madness, East of Eden, Fairport Convention and others
    
    Bob

    .145 Another no, but there some real rave from the graves mentioned in
    the guess. 
    
    I'll give a clue to make it easier. Another group who could be added
    to the connection are the Beatles.
                                         
    Mike O'

They were all produced by George Martin? I know he did the Ultravox
LP that has "Reap The Wild Wind" ('Quartet' maybe?). And, of course,
he did the Beatles LPs.

Alan S.

    Correct, all had albums produced by George Martin.
    
    Take it away....
    
    Mike O'

OK - this is another 'connections' type question - 

What is the connection between Grand Funk Railroad and the Psychadelic
Furs (wow - what a pairing, huh?) ?

Not too hard...

Alan S.

    Todd produced both of them.
    
    'Bad Time' by GFR is one of my all time fave singles alto' I dont
    think Todd producded that one.
    
    Mike O'

>    Todd produced both of them.
    
Yup! Take it away.....

Alan S.

P.S. Now I have 'Bad Time' running through my head and it won't leave!
     Well, I guess it could be worse.....

    Please!  Don't let this grind to a halt now.

Feel free to enter something. It was Mike O's turn, but I guess he is
nowhere to be found.....

So take it away.......

Alan S.

    OK, Alan (et al), howzabout this one.....what do the following obscure

    How about Olivia Newton John?  Travolta recorded/appeared with her
    and Marvin played in the Shads with a guy (John Farrar, I think)
    who was engaged to her once, and I think may have produced her.
    
    David.
    

    
    Well, I don't know what happend there ... musta been in a time warp
    or somethin'.  Sorry 'bout that!!!!

    The guy before Phil Collins.... (can't remember name)
    
    How many have I missed??

    Is this limited to recordings and stage appearances , or do we include
    the video that shows both Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks participating
    with the percussion ?
    
    John J
    
    I can't remember who their first drummer was either . 

    Genesis' first drummer was John Silver.
    Then came Collins, Thompson, Bruford....
    
    On stage, in their early days, Peter Gabriel's 'drum kit' consisted
    of a lone bass drum whiich he would pound at strategically loud
    moments.....

    Can I slip one in here?... I heard this on the radio at the
    weekend... it was news to me.....(but then what isnt :-) )...
    
    	Back in the 70s one Terry Daktyl & the Dinosaurs had a 
    	(minor?) hit with a record.....
        .....Terry has changed his name and has had another
    	(minor?) hit in this decade....
    	Who is he now?
    
    Ray.

    The song was "Seaside Shuffle" by Terry Dactyl aka Jona Lewie, 
    who also had hits with:
    "Stop The Cavalry" and 
    "You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties"
    
    -Paul

    sright.....well _I_ thought it was interesting!
    
    Ray.

    Thanks Ray - I quite like Jona Lewie's singles; I've never heard
    any of his albums though. "Seaside Shuffle" is one of those songs
    that I keep meaning to buy for nostalgia's sake, but I never quite
    get round to it...
    
    So if Paul Smith isn't looking, here's the next question:

    They're all Scots??
    
    Dom
    

    re -.1  Well I thought that too - perhaps they are all from the
    same town (but if one Reid, why not the other - I assume this is
    Mr Reid from Jesus and Mary Chain??)
    
    another guess - in previous bands they were all on the same label.
    Postcard perhaps....?

    Re. -2 and -1...on the right track, but I need you to be more specific.

    I'll be saucy and say West Kilbride!

    Re. -1, that's close Doug, but I'm afraid to say not *quite* right.

    When somone has finally narrowed down the exact street they all
    came from, could they *please* try a question OTHER than "what do
    the following people have in common"? It is a little repetitive
    - there are plenty of other questions available! Also, I would urge
    people to read .0 too - especially the bit about obscurity... Need
    I say more?
    
    Keith

    
    
    
    They are all lead singers in Scottish bands...

    the States trip go - haven't seen you around for a while 8-).
    
    Re. a few back, and the comments from our friendly neighbourhood
    Mr. Moderator - how can you possibly term my *trivia* question
    obcsure???  All of the bands listed (ahem, with the exception of LOVE
    AND MONEY) have had TOP 40 hits in the last year.  Admittedly not
    many people would know the lead singers' names, but at least someone
    got it in the end, and a one or two were pretty close.
    
    Or as someone suggested, would you rather it went along the lines
    of "Who had hits in 1987 with 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and ....."???
    Somehow I think it'd quickly die a death.
    
    OK Michael - it's all yours!!!!!

    
    
    On her "ladies of the canyon" album, Joni Mitchell sings a love
    song to "Willy".  Willy was/is the nickname of a popular recording
    artist at that time.
    
    Who?
    
    
    Michael
    
    

Graham Nash. Incidentally I believe that Joni was romantically involved with 
every member if CSN & Y at one time or another. That would actually make a 
rather good if longish trivia question - a list of Joni's former beaus.

Nigel

    
    
    Graham Nash it is!   On the question of Joni's past flames, I'm not
    sure the disk space is sufficient on this node to support such a
    list.

    
    It's all yours Nigel.
    

	There is a connection between Bob Dylan & the Beach Boys what is it ?

	To ensure that this isn't too obscure for our Moderator I should
explain that the Beach Boys were a popular American vocal/instrumental
ensemble, Mr Dylan is a solo performer & songwriter. 

Nigel 

    
    >> the Beach Boys were a popular American vocal/instrumental ensemble
    
    Whaddya mean WERE??????
    
    8^)  8^)

    re .259 Well the BBs are not as popular as they _were_! :-)
    
    re .258 Re Trivia question.....
    
    	   They both released tracks/albums with a G missing/dropped:
    
    	  ie. Surfin' USA by the BBs, Freewheelin' by Bob Dylan.
    
    Ray.
    
    (Yes, of course its a guess!.... how can you tell?)

	The connection is a person.

	His name appears in the credits on 'Blonde on Blonde'

	He also played with the Beach Boys.

	His identity when revealed will be a surprise to many.

	His name is ...ooops!!!

	I think that's enough clues for now.


Nigel

    DRAT! My copy of Blonde on Blonde is in a white promo sleeve.
    
    Is it Van Dyke Parkes?
    
    Bob
    

	If you don't come up with the name of a well known country & western 
singer pretty soon I shall have to admit that it was too obscure.

Nigel

    
    	Glen Campbell
    
    	Spurtle

    Johnny Cash?
    
    Ray.

    Yeah, its Johnnyboy, aint it?
    What did he do with the BBs
    
    intrigued of WLO
    Bob

re .267

>    	Glen Campbell

Correct. Give the boy a coconut. I don't think that I could have been much 
heavier in my hinting.

Before his mega C&W stardom Glen Campbell was a much respected session 
guitarist and having seen him once or twice on the TV I would confirm that he 
is a damn fine axe-man.

He played guitar on Blonde on Blonde as did Robbie Robertson of the Band 
(credited as Jaime Robbie Robertson for some reason).

When Brian Wilson freaked out early on and decided not to tour then Glen 
Campbell actually went on tour as a Beach Boy. Brian stayed at home and 
produced 'Pet Sounds' singlehanded.

Anyway take it away Herr Spurtle.

Nigel

    Good one, Nigel!!
    nothing too obscure there, just needed a bit of digging.

    Stephen Stills
    That's the way God planned it - Billy Preston

    Frank Zappa...(seems to get everywhere/good-ish guess) ???

    Eric Clapton??

    Well ?? Come on, you know I'm right!!
    
    Dom
    

    re -1 
    Sorry, twas between Valbonne and Reading. Yup, Eric Clapton it is.

    
    OK, the following artists have something in common (hard to believe,
    I know!) What is it?
    
    The Damned
    Gram Parsons
    Rogers and Hammerstein
    The Merseybeats

    		Dom
    

>>        Each incorrect answer will be 'rewarded' with a further clue. (Just

    Can I have 10 clues please???

     
    re .291
    
    Why not?
    1) They've all got two legs each.
    2) They've never won the Formula 1 Motor Racing Championship.
    3) They don't breed racoons (as far as I know).
    etc. etc.
    
    Naah, this is silly. I'll give you another name though:

    'Fraid not.
    
    Here's another name though:
    
    Nick Lowe

    Something to do with the 'Green,Green Grass of Home' or 'Emmy Lou
    Harris'...but then again my name ain't Alec!!!
    

    re .292
    Sorry, youre wrong there
    Before Hammerstein teamed up with Rogers (after Rogers and Hart
    split for "musical and personal difference") he was a prosperous
    racoon breeder.....

    Bon

    It's good old Elvis Costello isn't it??
    
    It was the Rogers and Hammerstein that threw me - EC rcorded their
    "My Funny Valentine" as well as songs by all the other people. 
    Particularly notable is his version of Nick Lowe's "What's so funny
    about peace love and understanding"
    
    And what is??
    
    Do I get it?
    
    Bob

    
    re .297
    
    Excellent, Bob! I was expecting a mail from the moderator saying
    that it was too obscure, but you've proved me wrong. For what it's
    worth, the next clue would have been Richard Thompson (followed
    by Yoko Ono, Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Cliff...).

    A question concerning Echo and the Bunnymen - who, or what, was
    "Echo"?                                                    
    
    Bob

    In the early (late 70's) version of the band, 'Echo' was the pet
    name given to their drum machine - correct?

    
    Youve heard that one too, eh, Dougie??
    
    You are of course correct - Echo was later replaced by a *real*
    drummist.
    
    Take it away.....

    What do the following artist(s) have in common :-
    
    Frankie Goes To Hollywood
    Hazel O'Connor
    Rose Of Victory
    
    Flying Pickets
    London Symphony Orchestra
    Rudy Grant
    
    Barbra Streisand
    Frida (ex-Abba)
    The Kings Singers
    
    Lulu
    Midge Ure
    The Wally Brothers (!)
    
    (the groupings are deliberate, and are intended as an extra clue
     :-)
    
    

    Is that Gary, John and Scott Wally?
    
    Or perhaps Barry, Maurice and Robin Wally ;^)
    
    Bob

     
    any chance of a cluelet?
    
    Bob

    is it anything to do with movies,videos,awards or the royal
    gala performance???
    

    From the original question (.302), you'll recall that there were
    four sections containing three artist(s), each section being connected 
    with one song.  I'll add some other artists, but no sections this
    time :-
    
    Blondie
    
    Bauhaus
    
    The Associates
    
    Donovan
    
    Bay City Rollers
    
    Duran Duran
    
    The Au Pairs
    
    The Skids
    
    Tina Turner

    I feel a David Bowie connection in here somewhere - some of these
    people have recorded his songs, some others have worked with him,
    but I can't stuff the likes of the Rollers or the Flying Pickets
    into it anywhere. There's also a lot of Scots in there too...
    
    Slightly confused
    
    Bob 

    Well Bob, I kinda thought you'd suss it out sooner or later - the
    connection is that all of these artists have recorded songs written
    by David Bowie :-
    
    Frankie/Hazel O'C/Rose Of V = "Suffragette City"
    Flying P's/L.S.O./R. Grant  = "Space Oddity"
    Barbra S./Frida/K. Singers  = "Life On Mars"
    Lulu/Midge Ure/Wally Bros.  = "The Man Who Sold The World"
    
    I won't go into to which songs those listed additionally in .307
    recorded, but they are all well-known titles.

    Re .317 - No, I watched the kids T.V. on BBC last Saturday morning

He plays it, but I don't know if he wrote it.

    There is a proclamation on Queens early records that can also be
    found on at least one Smiths lp, although worded differently.
    
    What is it?

OK folks,

What event in relatively recent history is the song 'Modern Times'
off the album 'Modern Times' by Latin Quarter about?

If this is a bit obscure, I'll start releasing the lyrics, two
lines at a time.

Good luck.
Steve.

    The only thing I can think of is Charlie Chaplin's classic silent
    film of that title? Never heard the record.
    
    Richard Bell
    

Not the Blitz. Here's a whopping clue: the first *eight* lines:

their starlight shone bright in the balckout
like the beams of the usherettes
but when the big bear bit deep after Yalta
there were those who came to forget
they went out west for the screening
and they carried a sharp-tooth comb
in search of the double meaning
they were making the fur fly at home

Fingers on buzzers. Answer revealed after lunch, if nobody gets it.

Steve.

    1945 the dropping of the A-bomb on Hiroshima.

OK this is obviously too obscure. Still I would have thought there'd
be at least one other person who likes Latin Quarter. Any road up,
I'm awarding the crate of logical champagne to Richard Bell (187.334)
'cos he was at least warm. Take it away Richard.

BTW The full lyrics are:

their starlight shone bright in the blackout
like the beams of the usherettes
but when the big bear bit deep after Yalta
there were those who came to forget
they went out west for the screening
and they carried a sharp-tooth comb
in search of the double meaning
they were making the fur fly at home

so get up! go on! grip that stand!
and press your hand to your heart
big Mac is asking the questions
and this is only the start

now Mac came on hot and noisy
in his search for old Uncle Joe
as he tracked him down to Tinsel Town
for Boise, Idaho
and the folks that queued up for Coogan
now queued up for the end of a myth
to sit open-mouthed at the newsreel
the night that Chaplin took the fifth

and the offers packed up for so many
dropped like a Wurlitzer into the pit
and what we got for the pain was more John Wayne
and anything else that they saw fit
because when they needed to break resistance
and they could not go on using a fist
they took the camera into the courthouse
they circulated a list

AND at the very beginning of the track as the music is starting, there
are two bits of soundtrack from a newsreel which goes...

A.	There will be no demonstrations. No demonstrations.
	Do you solemnly swear that the testimony your about to give is
	the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help
	you God.
B.	I do.
A.	Sit down.

and

B.	You have spent one week villifying me in front of the American
	public and you refuse to allow me to make a statement on my
	rights as an American citizen.

    Which UK Number 1 single had, in its lyrics, the title of the record
    which succeeded it at number 1?
    
    Keith

    Frantic head scratching going on here, Keith, but, err.... was one
    of the records by Cliff (and I don't mean .... Bennett and the Rebel
    Trousers, either)?
    
    Bob

    No, not Cliff. 'Twas sometime in the mid-seventies; both the group
    concerned and the follow-up hit were by BIG 70's artists. Give you
    until Tuesday evening to solve it, or I'll answer it.
    
    Keith

S'pose I'm not allowed to answer this am I Keith ??? :-(

Just on the off chance that the shortest possible time is
one week, one springs to mind which was 'The Power of Love'
by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It was billed as 'their nth number
one single' as it was released. Furtunately for them it made it
before being pushed off by 'Do they know it's Christmas' by
BandAid the week after.

Still, there must have been hundreds of number ones lasting only
one week, so it's a trick question. Would it by any chance be the
number one that arrived on the Tuesday only to be replaced on the
following Sunday when they changed the charts day to Sunday?? I
haven't a clue what it was tho'.

Steve.

    Hmmm...intriguing... so why was it not at No 1 for long?
    
    ... was it banned?.... OK maybe by the Beeb, but whose chart
    are we going by?.....cant be that can it?.....
    
    OK... lets have a tab in the dark...."Je t'aime" SG&JB
    
    Ray.

    
    Something by the Sex Pistols? God Save the Queen, maybe.....
    
    Bob

    Is it a single that had its 'A' side changed?.... so it was
    released as X with Y on the 'B' side, then for some reason Y
    was changed to the 'A' side?
    
    What a stupid concept! :-)

    No, 'fraid not..

	woof bark meow

    Not recent - 1968 (I think).

    no

    Still no...I'll tell tomorrow if no-one gets it.
    
    (I don't think Cliff Richard recorded "Marianne", although he did
    record "The day I met Marie" [which isn't it either]).
    
    Keith

    "Marianne" was released by Cliff in Sept 68, reaching no. 22 (it says
    here). can't place it myself though...
    
    ken

    It says here! It says here!!  8^)
    
    I pride myself on being able to answer these questions without recourse
    to reference material or safety net - it's all here in my head.
    
    This little stinker isn't though, I don't remember Marianne. Wasn't
    1968 about the time Cliff discovered Christianity, and the Stones
    were doing things like Sympathy for the Devil, not to mention Their
    Satanic Majesties Request a year before.
    
    I knew that, it says here indeed!!!!
    
    Did Cliff ever Paint it Black?

    no.. It's not particularly well known, but it did chart. There's also
    an interesting story attached to how I know this (other than that my
    mother is the number one CR fan).
    
    Keith

    re 187.384

    guess that the most likely one is "Blue turns to Grey", rang in, got
    through, won two tickets to see the man himself.
    
    Three weeks later: Capital Radio, Kid Jensen phone in quiz: he plays
    "Blue turns to grey", and then say "That single came from an unlikely
    source for Cliff. Who wrote it?"

    for the link......? }-(
    

    If I remember, both Hawkwind and Roy Harper had a preety intricate

    You're right about XTC, but the other two were other bands.
    
    As I'm off tomorrow, I'll pass it over to Tony's question.

    Dukes = XTC

were cloesly behind him....

    1st clue - add one-hit-wonder Danny Mirror (who he?) to the list
    2nd clue - three of the songs (Dexy's, ABC, Mirror) were top 40
    hits
    3rd clue - the lyrical content of the songs is in some way connected.
    
    Bob

    
    
    
    	Smokey Robinson ???

    Is it something to do with 'tribute' songs?  (Danny Mirror's I REMEMBER
    ELVIS PRESLEY ; Dexy's Midnight Runners' JACKIE WILSON SAID ; ABC's
    WHEN SMOKEY SINGS) 

     
    "Can't think where Bowie comes in!"
    
    I'm no expert but didn't The Duke sing a song for Warhol?
    Just thought I'd throw that in!
    Bob, you think them up don't you !!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    8*)
    David

    Dougie, you got it!
    
    Dexys in fact have two such tribute songs (Geno and Jackie), ABC
    paid tribute to Smokey, Danny Mirror's 'I Remember Elvis Presley'
    is probably one of the worst songs ever recorded, Bowie had a go
    at Dylan on Hunky Dory (Song for Bob Dylan), and Dylan himself paid
    tribute to Woody Guthrie on his first lp (Song to Woody).
    
    Take it away......
    
    Bob

    Wow, imagine me missing out on that Bowie song!!  Senility's setting
    in early days!!
    
    OK, what do the following artists have in common :-
    
    Ry Cooder
    Tony Bennett
    Queen
    Aretha Franklin
    
    A pretty diverse quartet, but I'm sure someone will get it (sooner,
    or later  8-)

    I'd guess it's something to do with film soundtracks, but I have no
    idea what....
    
    
    Nick

    Sorry, Nick, but it has nothing to do with film soundtracks.  I
    won't give any additional clues just yet, but suffice to say that
    the connection is not *too* contrived.  ;-)

    A VERY wild guess......
    
    Did they all sing songs about relatives? For example, Ry Cooder
    did "Little Sister", Queen did "Tie your Mother down". Then Aretha
    Franklyn did " Sisters are doing it for themselves", with the Eurythmics
    (I think). I haven't the faintest idea about how Tony Bennett fits into
    this - I can't name a single song by him! 

    - Alison

    They all recorded albums called 'Jazz'.
    
    Bob

    Re. -2, good guess, Alison, but not what I was looking for.
            
    -1 is correct - each artist has indeed released an album entitled,
    JAZZ.  Well done Mr. Green - it's all yours....

    Should be fairly easy, this.....
    
    Who, or what, are Nanker/Phelge?
    
    Bob

    I believe it's a medical condition. Penicillin is particularly
    effective, so I've been told...
    
    
    8^) 8^) 8^)
    
    Nick

    Close, but no cigar, Nick!
    
    Bob

    Nanker/Phelge = Jagger/Richards (a.k.a. The Glimmer Twins), yes?

    You are correct, Mr. Robb!
    
    Common decency prevents me from naming the song which was penned
    by Jagger and Richards under the pseudonym Nanker/Phelge; suffice
    to say it has no place in a family conference such as this.
    
    Bob

    Hey, Bob - was it not the (in)famous C*CKS*CKER BLUES that Nanker
    and Phelge penned?  ;-)
    
    Anyway, the next question is....who sang a duet with Matt Johnson
    on The The's INFECTED album, and has recently went on to become
    a popular artiste in her own right (read : has had a couple of hits)?

    re .471 (Nanker/Phelge). Well, I didn't want to be the one to publicise
    it, Dougie, but you are perfectly correct.
    
    Bob

    .472 (Neneh Cherry) is correct - JTOWNSHEND, it's all yours!!

    
    What is the connection between MEATLOAF and DIRE STRAITS ?
    
    ( there are probably several, but i only have one in mind)
    
    John

    
    If he fell on you, perhaps Dire Straits would confirm your predicament
    

    Well, it's time to revive a dead topic.......
    
    What connects Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, and the Eagles/
    
    Bob

    errr...all covered Tom Waits songs?
    
    Mikef

    That's some stab, Mike!
    
    Rod Stewart, even as we speak is having a hit with Downtown Train;
    Bruce Springsteen covered Jersey Girl (it even sounds like a Springbean
    song when Tom sings it); the Eagles recorded Ol' 55.
    
    It's all yours.

Hey, whaddya know!  I got one!  8^)

OK, this should be a quickie for most of you:

Lene Lovich
Wreckless Eric
Ian Dury
Nick Lowe
Elvis Costello

That should be more than enough to connect them all.....

Alan S.

Well, Stiff Records, I suppose

--Patrick--

    As well as being on Stiff, didn't they all also take part in the
    Stiff tour in about 77/8?
    
    Bob

    Yeah, and they all appear on the live stiffs album (which was also
    re-issued on a cheapy label, MCP I think).
    
    Mikef

>    Yeah, and they all appear on the live stiffs album (which was also
>    re-issued on a cheapy label, MCP I think).

Yeah, isn't that the one that has Nick listed as Nick Lowe's Last Chicken In 
The Shop? And they have a great song on there called "Let's Eat!"

Yes, Patrick is correct with the Stiff records answer (toldya it was easy!).

Alan S.

Okay...you'll have to get this by process of elimination if for no other
reason!

What was the first Beatles Album on which all the songs were Beatles 
compositions?

--Patrick--

    Rubber Soul.
    
    Bob

No.

And hey, no looking at your records. That's cheating.

--Patrick--

    A Hard Day's Night.

Re .-1, 

Correct, A Hard Day's Night had all Lennon & McCartney songs.
It says so in the last line of the sleeve notes, too.

Back to you, Keef.

    Who broke his neck in 1972 (without realising it) and later contracted
    hepatitis?

    Richie Blackmore
    
    Bob

    Sorry..no

    	Why does Bob Dylan come to mind?
    
    Ray.

    Absolutely no idea. It certainly isn't because it's right...

    I think Ozzy Osbourne caught hepatitis from chewing on bats or birds or
    suchlike but not as long ago as that... so my guess is :
    
    Alice Cooper?

    Wasn't my teaser, it was Keith's
    
    But if were allowed more than one guess then I'll go for Iggy Pop and
    Rod Stewart as well.

    No-one's correct yet. Clues start tomorrow.

    Did this happen to Frank Zappa after he was pushed off stage in
    London?

    Rob

    NO...
    
    Giveaway clue: some people call this guy the "space cowboy".

    Well that would be Stevie "guitar" Miller.
    (Hey, I'm not proud)
    
    Cheers,
    	George

    Right.

    In 1963 the Beatles were beginning their domination of the UK charts,
    but in the US the highest charting Beatles song was a cover version.
    
    Who charted higher than the Beatles with a Lennon-McCartney song
    and which song?
    
    Cheers,
    	George
    

    This is before my time but I think the answer is likely to be the Rolling
    Stones.
    
    As for the song, I'm not sure. Was there one called "I wanna be your
    man"?
    
    Dave

    No, the Stones were a bit after the Beatles in rising to American
    consciousness. 
    
    The song in question made it to #77 by the cover artist, 
    it had already hit #1 in the UK by the Beatles and in 1964 charted
    by the Beatles. 
    
    BTW- the Beatles had 31 different tracks in the US top 100 in 1964.
    
    Cheers,
    	George
    
    

    Spose its gotta be either Please,Please Me or From me to you..
    both of which reached #1 in the UK in 63.... however, I have
    no idea who 'covered' it.....
    
    Ray.

    Yes, the song is "From Me to You".
    
    Hat's off to Ray for getting halfway there.
    
    Cheers,
    	George

    As I'm off for a few days, I'll pass on to Ray Street for being
    halfway right.
    
    Del Shannon was the cover artist.
    
    Cheers,
    	George

    

    Gee thanks George :-)
    
    I have had to spend some time coming up with this, apologies for
    the delay....
    
    Its a 'connections' type of question..... who connects The Yardbirds,
    The Hollies and The Mindbenders?
    
    Yes I know some of you weren't born then, but _I_ was!
    
    Ray.

    
    	I think Paul has it but John Paul Jones also comes to mind for work
    	with the Yardbirds and the Mindbenders but I don't remember him
    	doing anything with the Hollies.  
    
    	- Jim

    Yep! It's Graham Gouldman.....
    
    He wrote "Bus Stop" amongst others for the Hollies, and tracks
    for The Yardbirds as Paul says.... He _played_ with the Mindbenders..
    ...and then of course with 10CC....
    
    Take it away PAULC.
    
    Ray.

	Bay City Rollers? (Didn't think so)

	Dave.

	P.S. What does FWIW mean? I understand FYI, IMO but that one always 
             throws me.

    "Showaddywaddywaddywaddywaddy" :-)  ????
    
    Ray.

	Bay City Rollers? Showaddywaddy? Come on guys, you seriously
	over-estimate the taste of the great British record-buying
	public :-)

	Worse, much worse...

	The Osmonds perchance ?

	P1

    or.....
    
    	The Wombles!

    How 'bout Queen?

    
    ... ah well, quality of the singles chart never changes does it!
    
    I can only think of:
    
    What record which has been in and out of the charts several times
    has as its B-side a version of the A-side backwards?
    
    I like it too.
    
    R|tch^d

you'd better tell that girl to shut up

by the Primitives ?

lead singers blonde with pouting lips

b side was called god save the royalties ?!



...art

    
    
    ...not what I was thinking of. And I don't think this has been in
    and out of the charts several times so I reckon not. Lets be picky
    today. First incarnation was well over a decade ago.
    
    R|tch^d

    Theyre coming to take me away Ha-ha - Napoleon XIV

    Spot on! Napoleon XIV it was.....
    
    Take it away Dave.
    
    R|tch^d

    This is another "Connections" type one. The answer is a "what" rather
    than a "who".
    
    What do the following bands have in common :-
    
    The Skids
    Psychic TV
    The Photos
    Bauhaus
    
    Dave.

    An interesting idea. I can just see PSYCHIC TV's Genesis P. Orridge
    doing an ad for Kattomeat (eating it himself).
    
    No, its something much less interesting than that.
    
    Dave.

    Wales? No.
    
    The connection is between one album from each of the artists. Thats a
    big enough clue.

    anything to do with the Art-work,cover design?

    OK, I'll rephrase the question to make it a bit more obvious.
    
    What do the following albums have in common -
    
    "Absolute Game" - The Skids
    "Force the hand of chance" - Psychic TV
    "The Photos" - The Photos
    "The Sky's Gone Out" - Bauhaus
    
    I can't think of another example at the moment, but I'm sure there are
    plenty others.
    
    Dave

    Same producer maybe ?
    
    Christophe.

They came with an extra free record?    

Graham

    At last.
    
    To be more specific, each of the LP's contained a free *album*, for a
    limited edition only.

    Which means its your turn, YENREF::KEHILY.

Right ... sorry 'bout the delay.

Other than Siouxsie & the Banshees, which other band did Steve Severin and 
Robert Smith collaborate in?

Graham

ps if anyone wants to sell a decent copy of the Photos album I'd be 
interested.

        <<< Note 187.558 by PRSIS7::BERNARD "Not dead but bien raide" >>>

Correct.

Graham

    Sorry I'm a bit short of ideas so :
    
    What have the following groups in common ?
    
    The Field Mice
    The Orchids
    Another Sunny Day
    The Wake
    
    
    Christophe.

    Well for starters...I've never heard of any of them :-)
    

    That's the connection..
    
    They don't really exist. Christophe just made them up!

    RE : -1.
    
    << They don't really exist. Christophe just made them up!

    Wow, that's a hint. Another Sunny Day have released a single a year or so 
    ago entitled "I'm in love with a girl who doesn't know I exist."

    All you have to find now is on which Bristol-based label they released
    that single, and you have the link between these groups.

    Christophe.

Is it SARAH RECORDS perhaps?

    Yes yes yes, and I'm considering reviews of the excellent stuff released 
    on Sarah Records, for it seems less known than I thought (cf previous 
    replies).
    
    Christophe.

It was a total fluke, cos I was listening to the Festive 50 in the car and
"Sensitive" by the Field Mice came on, then Peel talked about that being the
first Sarah record in the 50 ... this goes on and on ... but back to the quiz


A real simple dimple, easy peasy lemon squeezy one from moi ...

What have the following tracks got in common ...

"Love and Pride"
"21st Century Schizoid Man"
"Body Language"
"U Got the Look"
"Stand By Me"

    KING ?
    
    Juju
    xxxx
    

    Colour?
    
    
    or else they were 'ad' tracks?
    
    Ray.

Royalty was the connection ... the artists of the tracks were as follows

King, King Crimson, Queen, Prince, and Ben E King ... told you it was easy.

The Nobs

    Not a lot of guesses so far..
    So heres one.
    
    I must admit I've not heard of any of these. However could it be that
    they are all famous artists under another name?
    
    e.g. Billy Bragg often appears at c/w gigs under the name "Duck-billed
    Patterson"
    
    I know I'm no expert, but I do get the feeling these bands are either 
    
    a) fictional or
    b) foreign
    
    
    Dave

The Nobs		Led Zep
The Spots		Sex Pistols (On Tour)

...art

    Just goes to show its always worth having a guess!!
    Okay, here's the next question (which was inspired by the last one).
    
    Which famous pop duo's early recordings included a single:
    
    "I'm Lonesome" by Tom and Jerry.
    
    Dave

    Yes, it was Simon and Garfunkel.
