@Jamie Arriere re ‘She’s Lost Control’
Good shout mister.
Haven’t heard that for years.
Isn’t it amazing, how these songs are just in there, inside yer heid? As soon as I read your post I remembered it, the NME photos, reviews by Burchill and Charles Shaaaar Murray, and that utter dork who now gets gigs on Newsnight Review, can’t remember the wanker’s name, etc (I’ve never seen it performed live, will now proceed to Youtube to check if any such footage exists.)
They were so fucking HUGE at the time, but loads of folk know nothing about them…
Nice one – thanks for the reminder.

“Somewhere My Love” -Lara’s theme from Dr. Zhivago

Red Light Spells Danger – Billy Ocean*
* the “On Air” light, obviously
Leftfield – Not forgotten
Dead Kennedys – Holiday in Cambodia (probably a site seeing visit with Ian Gray)
King Kurt – Back on the dole
@ James Westlands
I have that song in my collection, do you? If so, then you are a truly sick and depraved individual, if you can visualise JL as the subject of the vocalist’s attention. That’s not satire, that’s just sick.
I won’t be able to sleep tonight now.
Bugger Off-The Real McKenzies
Bad Penny-Rory Gallagher
Keep it out of sight-Dr Feelgood
Bjork – it’s oh so quiet

Release date September 2014.

AC/DC: Highway to Hell
@ CameronB
No, I dont actually have it! I remember it well though – “Blatantly Offensive” was the name of the EP. And didnt Wayne County get gender-reassigned and become “Jayne County”? Ah the good old days of punk…… O/T Sorry!
Are you ready for the country – Neil Young
Answers? Questions! Questions? Answers! – Focus
Here she comes now – The Velvet Underground
30 Days in the Hole – Humble Pie
Time out from the World – Goldfrapp
I cant get with that – Fun Lovin` Criminals
Showroom Dummies (in pink jaekets)- Kraftwerk
And finally a song that contains these words; –
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – We Call Upon the Author to Explain
“what we once thought we had we didnt
& what we have now will never be that way again
o rampant discrimination / mass poverty / third world debt / infectious disease / global inequality and deepening socio-economic divisions—
(it dose in your brain!!!)
We call upon the author to explain!!!!!!!
Prolix!!!!
Prolix!!!!
Something a pair of scissors can fix!!!!
Bulkowski was a jerk!!!!
Berryman was best!!!!
He wrote like wet papier mache/went the Hemingway/
Weirdly and on Wings & with maximum pain
We call upon the author to explain
Down in my bolthole I see they have published another volume of unreconstructed rubbish
I call upon the author to explain!!!!”
“Where are we now.” David Bowie.
Or how she feels after every FMQs….”Put your hands around my throat” Death in Vegas.
An alternative to “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC might be “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi
You can just see Johann getting the air guitar out! (actually that thought is pretty grim, so forget that!)
“Get a haircut and get a real job” – George Thorogood
@ianbrotherhood
Aye, it’s a cracker – kind of missed out on Joy Division in my childhood, and can’t say I was a fan, though Love Will Tear Us Apart definitely registered as a great song. But when that film came out a few years ago, this song really blew me away.
Glad to have lit an old fire…..
The Coasters: Searchin’
Selfish Bastards – The Unionists
OK, I made it up.
o/t – John Curtis average of last 8 Indy polls is YES=39% – YES vote on the up and up. Looks as if YES will overtake NO, sooner than later.
@ James Westland
That’s the boy, or was at one time. The years may have blurred your memory of the actual lyrics, but I’m still not going to get to sleep tonight.
P.S. This site can be a handy place to waste time.

Where’s me mum? – The Krankies
link to youtube.com
“A few more I’ve not seen mentioned yet:

“Have You Seen Her?” – The Chi-Lites
“Miserable At Best” – Mayday Parade
“Show Me You’re Alive” – Young & Divine
“Far Away” – Nickelback
“Where’d You Go” – Fort Minor
Not specifically aimed at Joahnn alone but to her and her other partners in crime:
Arrogance Ignorance and greed – Show of Hands
Andrew Marr show, and guess who one of the panellist is?
“Strange Kind Of Woman” – Deep Purple.
I think I could get an album’s worth of Prince stuff alone:
“Arrogance”
“Still Waiting”
“Controversy”
“Tricky”
“Damn U”
“Mutiny”
“Do U Lie?”
“The Truth”
“Escape”
“Money Don’t Matter 2night”
“Girl Don’t Come” Sandie Shaw
“You Can’t Get Me I’m A Part Of The Union” ?
RESCUE ME. … Martha and the Vandellas – But she’d be better calling the Samaritans – Ed’s switched off permanently!

visual one this from the Life of Brian by Monty Python.
After all, when she is around on Thursdays she is ritually crucified by His Eckness and cut down to be revived for the next episode.
Maybe she’s in the same resort as Lord Lucan, Shergar and Jimmy Hoffa!
I thought Shergar was in a Master McGrath tin?
“We’re all going on a summer holiday” – Sir Cliff I think
BtP
Nah! …As far as I hear, the resort also holds Elvis, Glenn Miller and a few Aliens.
You’ve heard of the Bermuda Triangle …well in Alien folklore, there is also the Falkirk Triangle. Ever since the fiasco between Ed and the Unions, Johann has mysteriously disappeared.
You could then add Peter Andre’s ‘Mysterious Girl’ to the above list of songs!
