Theme 352 - Call and response - Any track which features a call and response section between instruments or vocals - Jim - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday September 11th

[Val]

Jim gives the example of Duelling Banjos as a classic call and response track. It's going to be interesting what posters find to fit in here - we should get a diverse range to choose from.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 353 - "Monkey Business" - Song titles featuring either the word monkey or if you prefer, a specific primate species. No apes tho...I'll do those another day! - Duke the Juke
Theme 354 - Vocal Hero - Songs from bands with a new singer (not just a guest) who wasn't the one they first recorded with - Brass Neck
Theme 355 - Your favourite track (or two tracks) from a best-selling studio album (if 2, can be from 2 different albums) - Val
Theme 356 - Mr. Men - song titles containing one of the Mr. Men eg. The word(s) Happy, Snow, Small, Lazy, Funny, Quiet etc. Doesn't need to contain the word Mr, obvs (or Men). - Helen
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Men
Theme 357 - Songs with Metaphors - Jemma

And if you have any bright ideas for further themes, post them here:

Just a note for Helen if she sees this - re the Mr Men titles, are we staying all masculine with this topic? Are you planning a Little Miss theme further down the track? Or are all genders to be combined in a one-off?

I struggled a bit to find tracks I liked so am going with another couple of oldies. Hope they pass muster.

Ummmm, I hadn't really got that far in the thought process, Val. I think there's plenty of choice so we'll keep them separate for now and do Little Miss as another round later on, if I remember. Although, it is about their descriptors and characteristics rather than gender.

[Val]

Thanks Helen.

At the risk of coming across as a bit dense, i'm not sure what exactly is being required for this theme.....don't most songs fit this category?

Ha! Some rounds are like that, aren't they? Let me know if the theme is worth reviving!

Four tracks made it into double figures and they are our winners for this round. In first place, Scotland's finest - that's Edwyn Collins, courtesy of Jemma, on 15 votes. And Jemma bobs up again in a tie with Helen for second place with Sam Cooke and Slaves, both on 12 votes. I bag third place with 10 votes for Inez & Charlie Foxx. No love for Mötley Crüe I'm afraid so a wooden spoon is wending its way to Collette. Thanks to all nominators and voters. Back soon.

[Brass Neck]

"No love for Mötley Crüe I'm afraid" - strictly speaking that phrase needs a qualifier since no-one has greater love for all things Crue than Collette; it's the other posters that are the problem!

[Val]

True!

[Collette]

Exactly! You should all bow to my superior taste.

[Fishy_Jim]

Sorry, Colette. I could forgive them anything, but the double umlaut in the name - that's just a bridge too far. In fact, it's bang umlaut of order!...

...Know when to stop, Jim. Know when to stop!
