Theme 245 - Singer takes it to the break with nominative exclamation - Sera69 - (closed 10pm Sun 9th Feb)

[theDuke]

Forthcoming Themes:

246. Funk me! Any song or band name with the word funk or any of its derivatives and misspellings (fonk, funky, etc) in it (doesn't have to be a funk tune, eg James Gang's Funk #49 is anything but. And as for Grand Funk Railroad …..) - Brass Neck
247. Mononymous - song title is a single word boy or girl name (no other words in title pls) - Helen
248. Trains and Boats and Planes (and cars, etc..). Any song title containing a means of transport. Specific makes/brands are excluded - SussexWelsh
249. Your Dennis Hopper Moment - love from tech.
250. "Great TV Show themes" - Choose a song, that was used for a TV show, by an established artist or band. You can use either the track written especially for the show's intro theme itself, or the full original song by the artist/band, if it was edited for the show, whichever. - theDuke
251. 'The Wire's' 100 (+30) Records That Set The World On Fire While No One Was Listening. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/funks/...
Compiled from an internal poll of the magazine's writers, this is a wide ranging eclectic list - mostly albums but including several singles. There should be something for most people. Preferably choose from the original 100, but go to the extra 30 if you can't find anything! - Tim
252. Silent break: Any track where the music stops suddenly, then restarts. - Fishy Jim
253. Deck of cards - Songs that reference playing cards or card games (standard 52 card deck ). - KJS
254. Brush up your Shakespeare - any song or artist that has even the remotest connection with The Bard - could be in part of a lyric, just coincidence with a character's name, etc. - Val
255. Joker - any song referencing joker/joke or any variant thereof - Brass Neck
256. "Psyche me out!" Don ya hippy locks, flares, jesus beards & chuck in a tab of acid or two....and let's float away on some groovy 'shroom loaded magical mystery tour! Any kind of psychedelic music; from the hippy dippy folk, acid rock, psyche rock, thu to stoner, produced from the 1960s to the present day. Brownie points if you can pick a less well known track. Peace & love maan! - theDuke
257. Duets, real or imagined. Standard duets or songs that have been sung as a solo singer mixed with somebody singing the same song to create a duet. - TheFoe
258. The Swinging Sixties 1960-1969 - Jemma

Good...er morning folks.....very morning being as it is.

Right then...here's Sera's theme, one i have understood what is being asked for, but gee...it's not an easy one to find for. Try googling songs with nomative exclamations, doesn't prove fruitful, alas.

There are plenty to be had, but i cannot remember them, bar a coupla....but there it is folks....find songs where the "Singer takes it to the break with nominative exclamation".

You know what to do..so good luck with it! :)

See you on Wednesday then...

As mentioned on the themes list, there's no pedantry here. I'll allow literally anything where the singer (or drummer, organ grinder etc) either counts in, introduces mid song or cues up the next section/chorus etc (think Freddie doing his lalala's with Queen), exalts another member to "take it away" or "geetar!" or "get higher baby" (White Lines - Grandmaster Flash) or "all the colored girls sing" (Walk OTWS - Lou Reed) or "Ok Ladies" (Hey Ya! - Outkast) . . . or basically just does something similar.

Okay...it's a daft one folks..but it makes me laugh. Half way through he cues in the wailing guitar with the lines:

"Make it talk
Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
OK, now make it shut up!" :)

We gotta have a little humour from time to time.....i expect Nul Points! :)

"Side one's only 25 minutes long!"

that's 26 minutes too long!

[Gordon]

I guess Tech might have appreciated Saxon's first album: 15 min on side 1 and 13 min on side 2. Not listening to 28 min must be much easier than not listening to 45 min +.

Evening all...

Another round has bitten the dust..but who emerged victorious this week?

Well..he may have sneaked in his nomination under the radar & over due...but i allowed it, so he gets it!

SJ's is the clear winner with that old classic 'You Really Got Me' by The Kinks, having garnered a decent 18 points. So an inmaterial gold shiny one is whisking it's way to you sah!

Just missing out on the gold by 'un point', 'Roadrunner' by Modern Lovers, awards Brassy with a silver one...aaaannd..

...and finally.... the final vote from Derek, means TheFoe just steals the bronze off Gordon, with , so 'Take You Back (The Iron Hoof Cattle Call)' by Orville Peck.

Well done you three..but..we have three...[Edited].......no... two.... [Edited]...no....ONE wooden-spooner this week. We almost had a triple spooner this week though..if Derek's final votes came in same fashion as his nomination...i.e. late! Now that would've been very rare!

So, we'll definately excuse Mr Gabriel for his song 'Excuse Me'. Commiseration to Sussexwelsh, one timber stirry thing comin' ya way....! :)

[Gordon]

Rats! Missed the voting. Would have been a tie if I'd got here on time.

[SussexWelsh]

Bad Company got 2 points from Derek, Duke.

[theDuke]

Ahhh smeggit!

I had typed out the closing post before Derek posted his votes & thought i'd corrected everything. Ho hum....right then..Bad company escaped the ignomy of nul point after all....which means Sussex is the lone wooden spooner then!

[SussexWelsh]

Hurrah|

[Fishy_Jim]

Apologies Sussex, You wouldn't have had a piece of arboreal kitchenware if I'd got my act together and voted. The Kinks would still have won, though.
