Themes - list of the forthcoming
Can we have "official" links to the two lists (US/UK), so that we are all selecting from the same hymn sheet(s)?
This one gives results for the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada and Germany! all on one page and plays snippets of the songs.https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthd...

I was going to suggest having another round of No. 1 on your sweet sixteenth birthday but mine would be ABBA - Fernando. Bleurgh!Still, it's an idea?
I like the link that KJS posted, it gives us a choice of up to 5 songs, I am all for using that and letting us choose which one we want.As for Brassy's sweet 16 idea, I just used the link to check mine. When is the next detest round?
Oh dear, For my 16th I’ve got ‘Que Sera Sera’ or (gulp) ‘Pat Boone - ‘My Prayer’. I might cheat and choose a different day - there are 3 I’ve always liked!KJS ‘s doesn’t go back far enough.
For my 16th there's a choice of Bee Gees 'Tragedy', Gloria Gaynor 'I Will Survive', Chic 'Le Freak', Blondie 'Heart Of Glass', or Rod Stewart 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy'. Oh well, four out of five isn't bad!

Oh well, four out of five isn't..."There was a bandstand in Sheffield’s pedestrianised area and there was music every Saturday. One week there was a large steel (of course) band and they played an absolutely amazing version of Heart of Glass. Liked it ever since.

I'm probably just being a bit dense but how does it work? I know it says to put the Date in but I can't work out where on the Page to do it?

Click on 1 - JAN - 1946 to change the day, month and year then SHOW ME THE NO.1

Suzy, you replace 1 Jan 46 with your date.
Okay, well I'm not sure why this is but I don't have a 1 Jan 46 on the Page that has come up and there is nothing clickable on the Page except for the Menu on the Toolbar to other Pages and the ability to Tweet or share it on Facebook?Maybe it is a Page with functions that work on a different Browser or Device? ;oO
Suzy - It's above that in a picture of a jukebox or go to the home page and click on birthday no.1.
Sorry, Poppet, there is no Date showing and there is nowhere to input one either. I don't understand it because it looks like a full website Page has downloaded but I'm just not seeing what you are seeing? This is SO weird?! - I wonder why my Page is different? I just have a Banner Heading over the Juke Box that says ... Birthday No.1 - What was the No.1 song on the day you were born? Enter your date of birth and listen to it!" ... but there is nowhere to click or to type anything in and hovering over it with my Cursor does nothing either?
If someone has got a spare minute, would they kindly look up 08/06/1968 for me and let me know what my five options are? All I have for the UK and the US is a choice between 'Young Girl' and 'Mrs Robinson' so far - and 'Young Girl' has unfortunately got some rather dubious Lyrics in it that I'm not particularly keen on ;oO
Apart from the 'love across the generations' themed classics one of which Canada also had;Australia had This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Alpert
Germany had Delilah - Tom Jones
PS if you're seeing the jukebox with the date 1 Jan 1946 you should be able to move your cursor on to the 1 and tap whereupon a choice of 1-31 opens up so you scroll and select then move on to the month and year likewise.
Ohhh, bless you, Mr B ... x ... thank you! ;o>The Jukebox is completely blank - I've tried changing the Page Setting on 'Compatibility View' but all it did was just make the Page go all weird.
I guess I'll have no choice but to give up on I.E. and Windows 7 soon because I've just recently discovered that it now doesn't like the Home Page of eBay and always crashes within barely a minute of me trying to access it ... and I'm guessing that this is something similar that is happening with this too ... GRRR!!!
Well at least you know now. Only hope the one this guy's in love with is of age!

Officially, we stopped doing the detest rounds, except for Lez's tweaked round that we just had. But i can bring it back again, if folks want it?

Mines not too bad, in the UK Adamski & Seal's was at No1 for 4 weeks with the reworked Killer, when i turned 16.
The others were: US & New Zealand: Madonna - Vogue; Canada: Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U & in Germany.... Matthias Reim - Verdammt, Ich Lieb' Dich....no idea & i don't like any of 'em! Can't stand Mad Donna or that soppy Connor song!
Just had a look at what Canada's No1 was during my birthday...Marvin Hamlisch - The Entertainer...i like that one! :)

I stopped using IE11 (the last version introduced in 2013, and although is still supported by MS for now, it is by far the worse ISP of all now! I gave up on it, after getting fed up with it freezing up all the time, if i had more then 2 tabs open, so now use the latest version of Firefox. Much much better. Costs nothing to download, and is just as easy to use. Only minor layout differences, so you could download that Suzy.
As far as i know, mainsteam support for W7 stopped in 2015, but extended support (whatever that is?!) will end on Jan 14th 2020, so you still got a wee bit time left yet...before you'll need to upgrade to crappy W10! :)
I'm slightly confused by the term 'falsetto', I have looked it up but I'm still none the wiser. Would you say for example that Andy Bell, lead singer of Erasure, sings in falsetto?

Would you say for example that Andy Bell, lead singer of Erasure, sings in falsetto?"You know how easy-going I am (unless severely provoked) so just a high voice somewhere in the song'll do - Jimmy Somerville, that Walking In The Air lad and Tiny Tim qualify in spades but Andy Bell's OK. Just use your judgement. Some links to help;

TheFoe wrote: "I'm slightly confused by the term 'falsetto', I have looked it up but I'm still none the wiser.

Ahem. Aled Jones's nads hadnae dropped when he did walking in the air, so he doesn't count! 😂
Ohhh great! - thanks, Tim! ;oOI'll never be able to watch 'The Snowman' again now!

Aled Jones performed it 2 years later, because Auty was then 15 and his er...unmentionables had dropped!
I've never particularly liked 'The Snowman' anyway, but thanks for that, Duke ;o>NOBODY better spoil 'The Snowman & The Snow Dog for me' though!
It’ll probably come as no surprise, but I’ve never seen ‘The Snowman’.
Lez wrote: "It’ll probably come as no surprise, but I’ve never seen ‘The Snowman’."Neither have i..or that recent one!
suzysunshine7 wrote: "NOBODY better spoil 'The Snowman & The Snow Dog for me' though!"I prefer By-Tor & The Snow Dog 😉

Always glad to be of service, Suzy 😄
None of you killjoys can spoil The Snowman for me. Raymond Briggs is a genius!
"None of you killjoys can spoil The Snowman for me"i got a pan of boiling salty water says different!

Me too, Tim :-)
Morning. :0) Could someone point me in the direction of the list of Themes already done. Thanks. ;o)
Hi Jemma, Val's posted them on the first page of this thread. :-)
Rounds 1 - 8 (part therof) are on Page 1Here is an update:
ROUND 8
154. Songs by all-girl bands (all-vocalist, non-instrumentalist groups NOT allowed, only proper bands - though the lead singer doesn't have to play an instrument) - James Warner
155. Dubwise, Version Galore! - a version/dub/remix of a tune, all genres (not a re-recording or a cover!) - tech
156. Weapons Of War - Travel Fan
157. Song titles consisting of just one word - Val
158. Songs with long titles (entirely arbitrary minimum of 7 words; words in brackets are OK but not references to featured artists or mixes) - Brass Neck
159. Songs with periods of time or times of day in the title: the words hour(s), minute(s) etc. or noon, midnight, o'clock and so on - Lez
160. The Shadow Knows: songs with the word 'Shadow' or 'Shadows' or 'Shade' in the title, or lyrics - Grimmy
161. Brexit, Baby! - songs by bands or singers from countries which are members of the EU. UK artists are excluded - Tim
162. Music from computer/video games - Helen
163. Sprog Rock! - songs by artists with famous musical parentage. (i.e. Willow Smith, Cruz Beckham, Miley Cyrus etc ...Yes, Rufus too) - Sera69
164. "What the earth are they on about?!" - Songs with nonsensical lyrics...or in other words....total gibberish! - the odd legible word or phrase is okay, but must be mainly comprised of nonsense lyrics, that no one can understand! - the Duke
*Still researching of how many there are...so might change this if there's not enough to go around*
165. Light and Dark - songs that have either or both words in their title. - TheFoe
166. Songs about Irishmen - name must be mentioned in the song - easytiger

170. Wildcard Round 4 - Any song you like, specifically new or seldom heard songs (originally an idea by Val)
ROUND NINE
171. 'The Nurse With Wound List'. On the first two Nurse albums appeared this list of artists, said to have been influences on the group (as it was in the beginning). Mr Stapleton later claimed some didn't even exist, but research seems to suggest all in fact, did. http://nwwlist.org is where to go; click on 'artists' then on 'named' which contains all those on the list. The albums included are merely suggested. You don't have to stick with them; anything by that artist is ok. Nothing from the 'Related' or 'More' sections please. There should be plenty of bands known to all but the most sheltered of souls! You will get kudos points for the weirder side of things though. - Tim
172. Songs about getting married - Val (pipe down all you cynics! I want to see lots of brides, rings, bells, aisles, chapels, weddings, etc)
173. Songs with sound effects in them (thunder claps, breaking glass, cars revving up, roaring crowds, dogs barking etc. etc.) - KJS
174. It's not big and it's not clever, but the tunes are good. Songs with expletives in the lyrics (not necessarily in the title). It can be a single utterance or a blue tirade (though, with one glorious exception, I tend towards the one-off). - Fishy Jim
175. Songs with US state names in the title - let's hear your Californias, Hawaiis, Idahos etc. - Rob
176. Sample Example - Tracks that sample other songs - Helen
177. 'One Album Wonders - Round 2' - Same rules as before, but noms can be selected from albums released upto 5 years ago. Any one off solo albums produced by now defunct Artists/Bands - EP's, singles, Live albums, Comps also produced by the artist/band are irrelevant, but noms must come from the sole album itself. - theDuke

179. 'Say I'm Your No.1' - your favourite song which topped the nation's (BBC, of course) charts. simple as.......- tech

If you live in Nowheresville, a band formed in a town/city you go to regularly, and within a reasonable driving distance, say 30 minutes in the UK. Anyone in say the Scottish highlands or rural Ireland can have more leeway on that. Say where they're from in your nom post) - Tim
