Loving 'Sings Bacharach and David'

Here's my favourite version of the one Sammy Davis Jnr is belting out at the moment ...

Welsh Megaman

Nice suit, Englebert

Aah, the 5th. Dimension! My favourite song of theirs, 'Up, Up and Away' written by another songwriting legend, Jimmy Webb...who will be along shortly

Is that a wig? :pac:

Looking forward to catching up on tonight's fare in my slippers and Dressing Gown later.

I had awful trouble at Karaoke one night, I wanted Daydream Believer and they put on I'm a Believer instead.

It's not easy dealing with Amateurs :P

Ol' Donie

LA's fine but it ain't home, New York's home but it ain't mine no moooooaaaaaarrr!

Go on the Neiler!

Ol' Donie

Jesus, am i at a 21st??

Skid X

Good times never seemed so good!

You can't beat the classics.

I like Roy Orbison's version

Ol' Donie

He was on the late late a while ago.

Came across as a headbanger, if memory serves.

*alright, i admit Cracklin Rosie is serious guilty pleasure territory*

Ol' Donie

Get out!

Skid likes a Roy Orbison version??

Well, I never!

Yeah, he wasn't in great form that night. He seemed to be ill, and was trying to sell tickets.

Here you go,

LA's fine, the sun shines most of the time ...

Lol, busted!

True enough, if Roy did a version of the Bosco theme, it would be my favourite version of the Bosco theme.

Hot August night. The album that launched a thousand Christmas and birthday presents for my poor old man.

:-D

Sweet Caroline is a great song when you've had several pints and a few whiskeys at the end of a night when you're at a 21st/wedding/40th these days (:eek:). It's a song you can't help singing along to.

Ol' Donie

Jesus, he had some amount of good songs.

GOOD songs, Sedaka, if you're out there.

I saw him in Concert (I think it was Croke Park) and he played it twice in a row.

That's what the people want - sing the hits! twice!

Ol' Donie

No way! Twice in a row?? I've never heard of that.

Where we began...five minutes ago, Neil!!

Ol' Donie

"Love on the rocks... with no ice" is much better.

Harry Angstrom

That looked like Croke Park.

Well, in truth it was more of a reprise ... a couple of bursts of the chorus. But it was well done and brought the house down

"Ah man, how can I follow that? Guys, how can we follow that? We can't - let's just do it agai!n ... na nah na nah nah na na ... Sweeeet Caroline ..."

Exactly. I went to see Radiohead years ago, and they mostly played stuff from Kid A, which had only just been released at the time and was a total departure from their earlier stuff.
Most of us wanted to hear Creep, High and Dry, My Iron Lung etc. A lot of musicians and bands just don't get it.

Touch of the McCartney's about that! :-D

I'd hate to be stuck behind those flags at Glastonbury.

Handy for making it easy to meet your friends, but not nice for anyone standing behind you.

http://setlist.com/ is a good place to check what artists are playing in their recent gigs. If it's loaded with new material I rarely bother.

Little fear of that at the Something Happens gig, I'd wager.

Anyway, looks like WMM isn't having the Neilerfest this evening. Broaden your horizons, man! It's not all about screaming guitars. :-D

Harry Angstrom

Ah, here's The Reverend Blue Jeans.......

Wooo! Go for it Neil! Let me hear you, more like!

Skid X

The voice is struggling "you take this next bridge"

That's like paying a builder and him asking you to takeover when he gets tired.

Ol' Donie

Money talks. It don't sing and dance and it don't talk.

If i wrote that, i tear it up and put it in the fire.

One of the many differences between me and the main man here.
