GREAT songs Petalp :bow:

The Waterboys is the one I meant to put in but forgot, very apropriate. One of my faves that is, esp after a few :D Btw do you remember Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys? I heard that this weekend - lovely song.

Moon Rover is a beautiful song, I love it by Sinatra, it almost make sme cry, sad old sentimental git that I am. :D

The Killing Mon- excellent track isn;t it? One of the best and most unique bands of the 80s Echo are. Do you remember Do It Clean, The Cutter?

Rocket Man is a great song :bow: I like Kate Bush's cover too.

I was wondering what the hell that song the Launch was, now I played it I remember ti well. Good tune :D

yeah great tune, although not sure how relevant it is to this thread :P

Well it was kinda relevant. Anyway Liam you gotta love this tune -

Out of Space by Prodigy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7edztkuz5o

Great band they are, seems that they put a new twist on dance music and one of the few acts of that genre that had lots of hits. Very punky, I think they show that when Brits do this stuff they do it best. :D Mental video as always. :D Take the break to another dimension as it were! roflmao

ive always loved the prodigy, out of space is one of their better runes, although my fave was voodoo people, and my ex and i had 'smack your bitch up' as 'our song' :o roflmao

:o


There's SB and I being all soft about Moon River, and then we find out who is the real romantic of the board!!! roflmao

Great song.. it's totally nuts!

I also loved 'No Good (Start the Dance)'

"Don't no good for me, I don't need nobody, don't need no-one that's no good for me" :whistle:

Grammatically shocking of course, but it kicks ass.. :D

Yip. remember Fisherman's blues, and the Bunnymen songs.. I agree, in retrespect probably one of the best alternative bands of the 80s, one that I still listen to regularly!

I remember Seven Seas on TOTP with teh band dressed as lobsters, fish.. and the audience waving cardboard 'waves' during the song.. just how it should be,. :ok:

roflmao

roflmao

Yep, i like that too. My fave is Everybody In the Place along with Breathe and Firestarter. You shoudl hear me and my mate singign that after a few jars! roflmao

:clap: love this thread SB - just looked in - some fab songs there - am off to rack my brains for some now :)

Thanx Pebs. :hug:

Hey diddle diddle,
the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

roflmao

Forgot the Youtube...

Now there's a future number onen record ;) roflmao Either that or she\ll probably do it by winning the x-factor.

I'm going to cuck this damned f-ing keyboard out he bloody window in a moment it's completely knackered. :angry: :badpc:

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

I love it! Why didn't Audrey sing more :(

Agreed.. I really like her singing on this.. :wub:

She got dubbed out of My Fair Lady though, didn't she.. :( :angry:

I think that she was a victim of the studio system with that one though.. it was a travesty that Julie Andrews didn't get the film role.. Audrey got a lot of flak for that, including being the only main start not to win an oscar for that film, and Julie Andrews winning one instead.. can't remember if it was for the Sound of Music or Mary Poppins.. :unsure:

Mary Poppins I think, that tore me so much, I really thought that was Audrey's Oscar, of course, her not singing somewhat dented her case for one. But I think she could've sung.

I think the reason Julie couldn't do it was that she was filming Mary Poppins but then the studio still didn't want Audrey to sing.

Stupid studio politics :angry:

Andrews was nominated for best actress in a leading role in My Fair Lady but did not win, and she won an Oscar for Mary Poppins.

Audrey got her Oscar for Roman Holiday

Roman Holiday is my favourite Audrey Hepburn film :wub: I have a photo of her with her award, whilst still in her 'Gigi' makeup (she'd rushed from the show to be at the awards..)

SW, re: the Oscars snub, i'd read that during the oswcars ceremony that year, there were pointed references to the fact that Audrey got the role and Julie Andrews didn't.. I think that one of those was made by Julie in her acceptance speech or something! :o :angry:

Do you mean Hepburn instead of Andrews? Because I don't think she even got got nominated for My Fair Lady...or was that Breakfast at Tiffany's :unsure:

Anyway I knew Andrews got hers for Mary Poppins that year, did she get one for the Sound of Music as well?
