Val H. | 22282 comments We've all seem some amazing performances on Jools Holland's show so now's the time to scratch around in your memory and bring them out. Narrowing it down to two is going to be the tricky part.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 475 - The Long and the Short of it. Put together one song with a very long title (the longer and more ridiculous the better) and one with a very short title (doesn't need to be a single word, just brief and to the point) - Tim
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

Derek W | 1372 comments I've always thought Jools is an irritating little twerp, and I think I've only seen the show twice, but I'll do my best!


Helen The Melon | 3430 comments After Val

I can't stand Jools either so I don't watch this show very often. In fact, I haven't watched it for a long long time, so not sure I'm qualified to take part in this theme. However...

Val H. | 22282 comments Grimmy - re your upcoming theme about “Give” songs, is “Gimme” in or out?

EDIT : Autocorrect wants to call you Grammy!


message 12: by Grimmy (new)

Grimmy | 224 comments At least that's not Granny!
As for Gimme, that is perfectly acceptable Val. I was just thinking the other day if the options could be expanded to include gives, gave and given. I think if folks are stuck on 'give' a variant will be ok.

Grimmy | 224 comments My wife just walked past the open door of my study, where I was viewing Tim's link. She paused for a moment, said " Have you taken leave of your senses?" and continued on her way.


message 15: by Tim (new)

Tim Franklin | 10977 comments Just so long as she doesn't start calling you big grammy!
