Val H. | 22312 comments This theme looks very clear - Tim is after song titles, one very long, and a second that is short. Tim says of the latter: it doesn't need to be a single word, just brief and to the point.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 476 - "California Dreaming". Bands or artists from the Golden State -Collette
Theme 477 - Give me a give. Songs with give in the title - Grimmy
Theme 478 - Thank You And Goodnight - The last song on an album that rounds off the album perfectly. No hidden songs please - TheFoe
Theme 479 - "Songs of Solomon" - In reverence to the saintly benighted. Each nomination must start with the letters ST, AC and EY, in order. The first nominators first song must start with S and second song with a T, the second nominators songs start with an A and then a C, and the third nominator starts E and Y. And then repeat with couplets of songs starting ST, AC and EY. Any artist, any genre. - Sera
Theme 480 - Wildcard Round 21

New ideas can be added at:

and we could do with some new ones!!

Well, my long title is rather pathetically short compared to the monstrosities above :-( Sorry, I wasn't feeling very inspired.

theDuke | 6509 comments Right then, i don't know any song titles that quite as long as some of the above; however, here's a US instrumental band that I've nominated before, albeit a very long time ago, and are known for using very long titles for their songs. And, a song I've been meaning to nominate for a while now. It's a sweet 'n' short number, both in duration and it's title.

Speaking of a potential long song title; on one forum, i spotted someone who was thinking of writing a song with the title and band name as:

'Once I went to the National Guitar Summer Workshop in Toronto and late at night I had to use the men’s room and when I thought I was done there was no toilet paper so it being late I thought I could just thought I’d hold my pants and go to the women’s washroom to find toilet paper and then I found some but instead of finishing the job there I was stupid and tried to get back to the men’s room with the toilet paper while holding my pants when an attractive young women walked in and seen me kinda half way crouched down holding my pants and a roll of toilet paper and THAT was the most embarrassing moment of my life.' - Huh?

That was posted in February 2003....and as far as I am able to determine, i don't think it's been made yet. An Interesting title....but a tad hard to remember, I dare say!

Not my fault this time! That's a relief! Nick came back and changed his "short" nomination after I'd compiled the playlist. It should be right now.


message 16: by TheFoe (new)

TheFoe | 2652 comments Sorry Val had a few drinks last night celebrating my dentist visit. Basically on my birthday I had a Chinese takeaway and bit in to a chip that my daughter gave me. I then felt something hard in my mouth, it was part of my tooth and filling that had come out. Anyway, saw my dentist 3 days later and she booked me in for a new filling, but the job was going to take an hour and I hate the feeling of instruments in my mouth for that long a period. The job was done yesterday and went so much better then I expected that I had a celebratory drink. Did set me back £273 though! ;-(


message 17: by Val (new)

Val H. | 22312 comments I trust the £273 was for the dentist rather than the celebratory drink! I hate that feeling of something come undone in your mouth. just when you're enjoying a tasty meal and then there's that plummeting feeling, oh-oh - that's not right. I'm glad you've got that sorted and hope it lasts a good while.

Val H. | 22312 comments Helen and The Offspring are our winners this week. 19 votes. Well done!
A tie for second place, both on 14 votes, between Val (The Moody Blues) and Jim (Bill Nelson).
Just one vote behind, Duke and Red Sparowes (I desperately want to put a second "r" in the middle!) are in third place.

Just the one wooden spoon, on it's way to TheFoe and Silver Bullet.

If Lez was still with us, I'd imagine the misspell would be doing her nut in as well! :)
