Lexie's Chain: The Seventy-Third Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 73 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Teence to choose. Last week we ad The Killing Moon from Echo and the Bunnymen wot Marley won! Let's have a look at the entries for this week:

@rettetkaninchen

The Bunnymen! I wonder if they do like Carrotinis. Well, bunnies and rabbits, rabbits and bunnies. The Bunnymen love for sure "Hat, meet rabbit - Rabbit, meet hat" from Gaba Kulka. So will bunny whisperer Marley? 

@patchdacat
Since Marley’s winning linky last week was by Echo and The Bunnymen I decided to look for a bunny connection. My linky for this week is “Rabbit” by Chas & Dave.

@terenceterrier
Right. Listen carefully. I will only say dis only once. The winning linky last week by that cleva clogs @marleyterrier was The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen. So wiv killing an bunnies involved this puts me in mind of the film “Fatal Attraction” where the phrase Bunny Boiler was coined after the character played by actress Glenn Close killed and boiled the family’s pet rabbit. Glen Close narrated the story “The Emperor & The Nightingale” for Rabbit Ears Productions and also performed at Carnegie Hall taking part in the concerto “The Runaway Bunny”. But amongst our canine pals she is best known for her part as Cruella De Vil in “101 Dalmatians” by Disney in 1996. In that film she had plenty of killing planned of innocent pups although some bunnies did help in the rescue mission so they could escape from her mansion. So (still wiv me?) for the linky I choose the song “Cruella De Vil” from that movie. It is sung by Selena Gomez.

@bvfeyj (Tucker)
Last week we did hab Killing Moon - Echo And The Bunnymen a great pick by @marleyterrier which @terenceterrier did wisely choose as da winner. Dis maked me fink ob songs about da moon, but den me did fink dat you not see da moon in da daytime, you see da moon at night which ob course is after sundown. Den me remembered da wonderful song “Hurry Sundown” by The Outlaws. See his shadow in da light ob da moon - hear da gypsies call! 

@bunnersandharvs
Well done to da cleva paws Marley for choosin da chainy last week - was a good one. So wot dus one go wid afta dat? Well fur inspurashun we did put on rainycoats and did bounce round like bunnies based on da songy last week and den said hey why not go wid 'Doris Day's - By the Light of the Silvery Moon BOL!

@wonderwinger (Briar)
A well deserved first win in ages for @marleyterrier; congratulations & celebrations.
On to the linky: Ian McCulloch was one of the founding members of Echo & the Bunnymen, but in 1998 he was part of England United, a collaboration with the Spice Girls, Ocean Colour Scene & Space who recorded the the official 1998 World Cup football song - Top of the World.

However, this song was not as popular as the previous official England World Cup song by EnglandNewOrder : World in Motion. New Order were great friends with the Bunnymen having been on tour together around North America in 1987. This song was New Order's only chart topper but my link shall be another of their songs, the biggest selling 12 inch of all time: Blue Monday.

@diamondbertie
I was listening to last week's winner The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen, I heard it for for first time, and I really liked it.  I want to keep the theme of the moon but a different mood, The Killing Moon was sad and yet haunting.  My choice is Under The Moon of Love by Showaddywaddy. Why? It makes my feet tap and however sad or miffed I am it makes me smile, we all need to smile.




@djladylexie
Ok here is ma linky. Echo was ackhewlly a drum machine wot dus be an electronic instrument wot imitates the sound of drums and uvva percusshun intstruments. Radiohead used electric piano, drum machine and computer manupliashuns of sounds. So, I chooses their track Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead.

An da winner .... as chosen by Marley dus be ...... drum roll ..... @patchdacat wiv da awesome Chas N Dave an Rabbit! Yayayayaaay!! Well done Patch .. first win under your belt. Many congratulations. Ere wot Marley said:

Hmmm, well there has been quite the punch up ere this week trying to choose the best linky. The typist was shamelessly voting for there Outlaws but we has telled him that an addiction to country rock be no qualification for bein a judge. Lola has tried to pretend she be clever and is suggestin the very intertestin Gaba Kula (wot she like very much) but as it was MARLEY who did win last week I am voting for the most border terrier-like of all da bands: Chas & Dave. They has won by a short beard (or a very short pair of beards to be accurate). Hee hee. Woof.

So get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da guidelines page fing) the next link in the chain. Da winner dis week dus be pickin da winner next week and dat means you Patch.

It's over to you! Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until noon (GMT) Sunday 3 June 2012. Sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee. So good idea to type DO NOT DELETE in the title!  

Lexie's Chain dus be inspired by da pawsome Radcliffe & Maconie Show wot you can has a listen to on dere website. Follow me @dogstoyevsky or #lexieschain on Twitter to join da fun. Remember anyfink goes! Rock, classical, opera, ballads, punk, reggae - is up to you! Fanx for playin!

Lexie's Chain: The Seventy-Second Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 72 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Teence to choose. Last week we ad Rod Stewart and Tonight's The Night.

@bunnersandharvs
We dus say congrachulashuns to Terrence for a terrific linky last week! So den we been having many discussions over noms and said wot does foller Rod Stewart and well we says da linky dis week is Phil Collin's 'I Can Feel It In The Air Tonight'! Why you ask? Well because last week Roddy's songy was not only about tonite bein da nite for dem *giggles - cus dey was doing da wiggy* but it wus also about da beginning of a relashunship - he was woo wooing da girlly saying we is gonna get togetha and then Phil's songy not only has toonite in but it is about da end of a relashunship. Seems he was bitta wid his exy wifey! So has a start & da end!

@wonderwinger
Huge well done to Terence on his brilliant second win last week, not just a one win wonder at all. My linky is The Man With The Golden Gun by Lulu. Why I hear you ask? Well like Rod Stewart, Lulu is also Scottish. More interestingly, Britt Ekland was the Bond girl in The Man With The Golden Gun & was also Rod Stewart's girl at the time when Tonight's The Night was made. She can even be heard performing the whispers on the record.

@bvfeyj
Okay, for a linky to @terenceterrier's Rod Stewart song “Tonight’s the Night”... dis one bery difficult because dere soooo many wonderful possibilities! Rod was heavily influenced by Sam Cooke and Bob Dylan and he covered songs by boaf, including "Tomorrow Is Such a Long Time" from his album Every Picture Tells a Story. Me not finded da Bob Dylan version on You Tube but Rod's cover is great anyway so we listen to it!  "Tomorrow Is Such a Long Time" Rod Stewart

@diamondbertie
Last week's winner was Rod Stewarts Tonight's the Night, my best idea for this week is Tom Jones' Love me Tonight. Why they are both songs of love and longing and pleasures of the night,  err hem.

@djladylexie
Well done Terence! Ok let me fink bowt dis one. Rod Stewart gave Elton John da nickname Sharon and Elton called Rod Phillis and they teased each uvva bowt their sexuality. So, ma linky does be Elton John and The Bitch Is Back.

@rosieterrier
Well done Terence wiv your winning entry last week. Rod Stewart did be singing 'Handbags and Gladrags'. This song was written by Chris Farlowe who has a long association with the legendary Van Morrison. They toured together and guested on each others music. So this linky is 'You don't pull no punches but you don't push the river' by Mr Van Morrison cos it dus be our fave. (to be honest mum choose dis weeks linky cos she luv Mr M! -- I call it hijacking).

@patchdacat
My linky be "Let's Spend The Night Together" by The Rolling Stones because the lyrics have the same suggestive theme as "Tonights the Night".

@marleyterrier
We did see that Terrunce did choose a song by Rod Stewart. We see dat Rod the Mod's first solo record be called An Old Raincoat Wont Ever Let You down. This made us fink of Leonard Cohen song Famous Blue Raincoat but we fink dat too gloomy so we fink about bands wot ave links to raincoats so we did fink of Echo & The Bunnymen who wored em all the time...and so our chain duss be Killing Moon by E&TBM wot you can listen to here.

An da winner ... as chosen by @terenceterrier .... dus be .............. @marleyterrier wiv Killing Moon - Echo And The Bunnymen!! Yay well done Marley - first win of da season!! Nice linky too.

So get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da guidelines page fing) the next link in the chain. Da winner dis week dus be pickin da winner next week and dat means you Marley.

Lexie's Chain: The Seventy-First Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 71 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Kelso to choose. Last week we ad Idlewild and Living In A Hiding Place. So let's av a look now.

@patchdacat
The winning linky last week “Live in a hiding place” puts me in mind of the famous actress Greta Garbo who is famously associated with the quote in the movie Grand Hotel “I want to be alone” which in similar forms appears in many of her other movies. In relation to her personal life she loathed the publicity and similarly said “I want to be let alone”. So I choose the lovely song “On My Own” by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald.

@djladylexie
Kelso dun Idlewild, Living in a Hiding Place. Idlewild album The Remote art was launched in the US in March 2003 and dis evenchully led to them opening Pearl Jam's Riot Act world tour. They become good friends wiv Pearl Jam an also supported them for a one-off concert at Wembley. Pearl Jam also dun a song called In Hiding wot is linky for hiding AN for Idlewild. However, my favourite Pearl Jam does be Alive wot you might feel after you bin in hidin for a long time!

@terenceterrier
I hadn’t heard of group Idlewild before so I looked em up I sees dey iz Scottish rock band an hav a group member called Rod and annuva with surname Stewart. So I haz to go with a linky by the superstar rocker Rod Stewart who is very proud of his Scottish roots. I choose “Tonight’s the Night”.

@bunnersandharvs
Oh da Kelso is making us think *rubs paws* we dus be going wid da songy and says cus da Idlewild songy be about hiding we has gone with Adele. Why? One cus her name dus sound simalar to Idlewild ta us *snorts* not rilly but & two, da songy is 'Hiding My Heart' which dus be followin da songy wot Kelso chose so we dus say she put hur heart in da hidin place. 

@rosieterrier
Well done Mr Kelso-your song last week by Idlewild makes me think of JFK Airport cos dat used to be called Idlewild airport. My linky is 'Airport' by Guster. It do be a beautiful but sad song.

@bvfeyj
Last week Briar did choose Kelso’s linky “Live in a Hiding Place” by Idewild. Kelso did tell us lots ob stuff about Idewild- (band name, album name, & place in Anne of Green Gables) but forgot to mention or not know dat Idewild is also da name ob an amusement park! It is 3rd oldest amusement park in USA dat still in operation today and it right here in me own state! (Mom went dere when she was little!) So me linky is 1962’s “Palisades Park” by Freddie “Boom Boom” Cannon a tribute to annuvver amusement park dat did close in 1971. A roundabout linky me fink, but a GREAT song and a fun bideo ob da park & stuff! 

@wonderwinger
Well done to Kelso on last week's win with the fabulous Idlewild & Live in a Hiding Place.
The lead singer of Idlewild, Roddy Woomble is married to the bassist in the Glaswegian punk-folk band Sons & Daughters, Ailidh Lennon. Sons & Daughters third album: This Gift was produced by Bernard Butler. Bernard Butler was one half of Suede; the other half being Brett Anderson. My linky shall be my fav Suede song: Animal Nitrate.

@marleyterrier
for this weeks chain I did be finkin bout Idlewild. I found Idlewild was also the original name for JFK Airport in New York. And then I did fink about John F Kennedy and i see he has Centre For Performin Arts named after him in New York too. So i look up website for dat place ...and it say there that Singer-songwriter John Legend joined the Kennedy Center to launch “What’s Going On…NOW,” to mark 40th anniversary of lornch of Marvin Gaye's epic Whats Goin On. So that do be my chain dis week

An da winner ... as chosen by @kelsoterrier .... dus be ................... @terenceterrier wiv Rod Stewart - Tonight's The Night!! Yay well done Terence!! Nice linky.

So get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da guidelines page fing) the next link in the chain. Da winner dis week dus be pickin da winner next week and dat means you Briar.

Lexie's Chain: The Seventieth Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 70 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Briar to choose. Last week we ad Everything But The Girl and I Don't Want To Talk About It. So let's av a look now.

@bunnersandharvs

We do say well done to Briar for da selcshun last week. You is cleva paw so wot dus other paws do you ask? Well, we has gone wid da choicy of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong dis week. Why? Well der was a whispa dey was involved wid each other and well 'Everything But The Girl' group dus be sekretive abowt da fact dey is a couple too. Dey wus also influenced by Ella & Louis too so we dus go wid dis linky for da week 'Our Love is Here to Stay'.  Hit it baby.... la la doodle eoo our love is here to stay..... 

@patchdacat
Last week winning linky song was “I don’t want to talk about it”. If peeps aren’t talking then it will be quiet. So my choice this week is “Silence is Golden” which was a no 1 hit for The Tremeloes.

@terenceterrier
Now wot shall we hav to follow on from “I Don’t Want To Talk About It”. *ponders* If the lady isn’t talking then there will be silence in the room. Dis makes me fink of da songy “Silence is Golden” This was recorded by the Four Seasons a B Side of a record. For my linky I choose the A side “Rag Doll” by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

@kelsoterrier
Last weeks winner was Everything But The Girl with I Don't Want To Talk About It. If nobody talked about it then it would be a very quiet place. There was a very quiet meeting place in Anne of Green Gables called Idlewild. This place is where the band Idlewild got their name and Idlewild is also the name of the EBTG Album that features I Don't Want To Talk About It. The two members of EBTG are very private about their relationship and personal life and have not performed publicly since 2000 and, for this reason (as well as it it being my favourite Idlewild song) I have chosen "Live In A Hiding Place" as my link this week.

@bvfeyj
Last week Briar @wonderwinger did gib us a nice version ob a lovely song, "I Don't Want to Talk About It" by Everything But the Girl. One ob da lines in dis song dus be "won't you listen to my heart" which made me fink ob Tom Petty and "Listen to Her Heart" but den me found dis bery pretty song "Listen to My Heart Beat" by da Bombay Vikings and dat is me pick for dis week.

@rosieterrier
Well----Everything But The Girl are a band from the town of Hull (Kingston Upon). My beloved grandparents do live in Hull and I do love to visit them and sit on their laps and squash them a little. My Grandads favourite song is 'Lilly The Pink' by The Scaffold. He dus sing it a lot and has done for the past 40 years! It always makes me wag my tail and grin. So this is my happy chainy.

@djladylexie
Ok .. Everyfink but the girl wiv I don't wanna talk about it. Ben Watt an Tracey Thorn is married couple wot be EBTG. The song I Don' t Wanna Talk About It is bowt how someone who had her heart broken. Well when you gets your heart broken you fink is never gonna get better but it dus and sometimes better fings come out of it. So my choice of song is Better Things from Massive Attack wot Tracey Thorn does sing most fantastically!

An da winner ... as chosen by @wonderwinger .... dus be ................... @kelsoterrier!! Yay well done AGAIN Kelso!! Nice linky.

So get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da guidelines page fing) the next link in the chain. Da winner dis week dus be pickin da winner next week and dat means you Briar.

Lexie's Chain: The Sixty-Ninth Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 69 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Kelso to choose. Last week we ad The Sex Pistols wiv God Save The Queen. So let's av a look now.

@terencetheterrier
Winning linky last *God Save The Queen” by The Sex Pistols. The lead singer was Johnny Rotten – real name John Lydon. In 2004 he took part in “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” which is filmed in Australia where they have lotsa big spiders and fings. After his “Celebrity” appearance he presented a documentary about insects and spiders called “John Lydon’s Megabugs” . So it is easy peasy to get a linky dis week which is “Boris The Spider” by The Who.

@parkerskat
When I think of a drug crazed, irreverent time, my mind wanders back to Woodstock, "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music". Jimi Hendrix closed the festival, including an, shall I say, unusual rendition of the US national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner". Hendrix included feedback and wah-wah to imitate the fighting in Viet Nam. Although I am not linking via time and shared band members or inspiration, I feel that both performers made their statement about current government policies. Well, and drugs were involved.

@patchdacat

Last week’s winning linky was “God Save the Queen “ by the Sex Pistols. I’m sulking cos I put up that same linky once before and it didn’t win. Anyway my choice this week is the British National Anthem “God Save The Queen”. Yes I noes it’s obvious but it is Jubilee Year so I’m gonna be patriotic.  And stand up when you listen to it. *salutes*.

@diamondbertie
The Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen really had us all scratching our heads, we don't know anything about punk music. Tried songs with a "queen" connection, she came up with Queen of the Night aria from Magic Flute only to reject it. Then Master suggested the 1994 musical film The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Lovely title song, a reminder of a well enjoyed funny/sad movie. Sorry it's such a tenuous link.

@bunnersandharvs
So yay to da cleva Kelso on his selckshun last week! But hrmmm wot dus one go wid afta da Sex Pistols? Well afta much discushun we has gone wid Right Said Fred - I'm too Sexy. BOL! Why? Cus dey only made it to da 2nd spot on da UK hit chart like da Sexy Pistols and dey uses Sex in da title of der songy! Plus we just like dancin to da songy oh & we is so sexy for dis shirt, baby it hurts.... BOL!! 

@marleyterrier
hmmmmm so many possibilitees for da chain this week. Sumfing bout the Queen? Sumfing about God? Ah ah....sumfing bout weppons...!! Yes. so our linky this week do be The GUns of Brixton by da Clash and also cos it ave personal linky for us cos a familee member do like playin along to this song and the singer did go to his skool too! Is troo...

@bvfeyj (Tucker)

Last week's winner was "God Save the Queen" by The Sex Pistols. Dey was UK punk rock band managed by Malcom McLaren. Before dat McLaren was in US promoting da New York Dolls who inspired his interest in da punk scene which he took back to da UK. Da New York Dolls in turn inspired da Ramones, Blondie & Talking Heads. So me suggest "One Way or Another" by Blondie as me linky for dis week.

@djladylexie
Ok god save the queen .. Sex pistols. Sex Pistols was managed by Malcolm McLaren. He dun a few successful singles one of which was Madame Butterfly. This is based on the story of da opera of da same name by Puccini and yo can't get furver from punk dan opera right? So dat ma linky Madame Butterfly Malcolm McLaren.

@rosieterrier
Okay- God Save Da Queen by the Sexy Pistols dus be a punky song from 1977. The Skids were also formed in 1977 and were of the same genre. They sang a song called 'Working for the Yankee Dollar'. This phrase was included in the song 'Rum and Cola' by the Andrews Sisters. They sang songs written by Cole Porter who also wrote 'Ive a Shooting Box in Scotland'. Aztec Camera contributed a song to the Cole Porter tribute album Red Hot and Blue. But- my chainy link do be Aztec Camera 'Oblivious'
(Bias??? Here??? Noooo!)

@wonderwinger

Well done to Kelso for giving us God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols, as our linky this week. This single reached no. 2 in the UK charts the song being controversially (some say deliberately by the BBC) kept from no. 1 by Rod Stewart's double A side of cover versions: the Cat Stevens song First Cut is the Deepest and Crazy Horse's I Don't Want To Talk About It. I Don't Want To Talk About It was covered again by Everything But The Girl my linky this week. Both bands were named after shops, the Sex Pistols being named after a punk fashion boutique & EBTG taking their name from the sign of Turner's Furniture Shop in Hull, that stated: For all your bedroom needs we sell everything but the girl. 

An da winner ... as chosen by Kelso .... dus be ................... @wonderwinger!! Yay well done Briar! Nice linky.

So get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da guidelines page fing) the next link in the chain. Da winner dis week dus be pickin da winner next week and dat means you Briar.

It's over to you! Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until noon (GMT) Sunday 6 May 2012.

Lexie's Chain: The Sixty-Eighth Chain

Hello pals! Welcome to Week 68 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to Bunners & Harvs to choose. Last week we ad The Shamen and Ebeneezer Goode. So let's av a look at dem now.

@wonderwinger
Congrats & much applause to the Bunbury & the Harvey for their magnificent win last week. Moving on from The Shamen & Ebeneezer Goode I have chosen as my link They Might Be Giants with Birdhouse in your Soul. The Shamen were signed to the Indie record label One Little Indian as were They Might Be Giants. This song is about a lickle night light that takes the form of a sweet blue canary who proclaims itself to be protector of you & your room whilst you sleep.

@terenceterrier
The winning linky song “Ebeneezer Goode” was alleged to be promoting drug use because the refrain sounded like “E’s are good” (where E = Ecstasy the dance drug) and there were many other drug references in the song. A group who took their name from the drug culture was Dexys Midnight Runners. In this instance the first part of the band name Dexys came from Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) and “Midnight Runners” was a reference to the energy it gave to users allowing them to dance all night. For my linky I choose a live version of “Come On Eileen” which was a No 1 hit single for them . 

@patchdacat
Winning linky last week was Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen. This makes me think of another character with same name – Ebeneezer Scrooge – who was a character in Charles Dicken’s novel A Christmas Carol. in 1992 there was a stage musical version “Scrooge: The Musical” so for my linky I choose the song “Thank You Very Much” which was sung by Scrooge.

@marleyterrier
Last week we did see Bunners n Harvs choose a song called Ebeneezer Goode which did get to be contrevershull cos peeps fink it did ave references to drugs in it disguised as cockernee ryhmin slangs. "Has anybody got any Veras?" ("Vera Lynns" being rhyming slang for "skins" or rolling papers) and "Got any salmon?" ("salmon and trout" being rhyming slang for "snout" or tobacco). Norty, norty!! He he. Anyway, we did get to finking bout rhyming slang in da music and of corse that made us fink about Dj called Pete Tong….It's all gone a bit Pete Tong or Wrong!! So, our link this week be The Beta Band and Troubles from da movie soundtrack of da film of It's All Gone a Bit Pete Tong….

@diamondbertie
Here it is, last week's choice is The Shaman - Ebeneezer Goode which was controversial as it was glorifying drugs. My choice is Lucy in the Sky of Diamonds by The Beatles. Why? Because it is also inspired by drugs and drug taking.

@rosieterrier

So last week was a song by The Shaman. Will Sinnott (rip) a band member, had a guitar making father. Apparently he made a guitar for the legendary John Martyn. John Martyn wrote and sang 'May You Never', Eric Clapton also covered this song. Eric Clapton was known as 'slow hands' for his guitar playing skills. My chainy do so be -yes-you've guessed it-'Slow Hands' by The Pointer Sisters.

@kelsoterrier
This week a link to Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen is sought. Well, due to its underlying drug related lyrics Eveneezer Goode was actually banned by the BBC. In this Jubilee year that reminded me of another controversial song that was censored by the BBC in the year of our Queen's silver Jubilee in 1977. This song was God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols and is my link for this week. As well as not being broadcast it is rumoured the BBC singles chart was actually "fixed" to ensure the song never made it to No1 instead peaking at No2. 

@borderpup
According to our sources (ok, a certain online encyclopaedia) The Shamen were originally called Alone Again Or, which was a tribute to a song by the band called Love. This dus be one of Mum's favrit songs ever! Anyhoo, back to the competishun. The Damned were also influenced by Love and recorded Alone Again Or, and my choice is another cover they recorded, Eloise, wot did turn out to be their biggest hit (and annuver of mum's favrits!).

@bvfeyj
First ob all me say @bunnersandharvs did pick da Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen which wuz contraveshul cuz supposed to be about drugs so me pick anuvver song some say be about drugs also (me not fink so!). Dis be "Mighty Quinn" by Manfred Mann. So as dey say, "come on and sing everybody!"  "Mighty Quinn" by Manfred Mann

@djladylexie
The Shamen was part of da rave scene an massive influence on acid house. Annuva band wot was bit at dat time as well was called Orbital. The Shamen song was bowt Ebeneezer Goode. Well it was bowt drugs really. Obital dun a song wot was about a fictional character too!! Is called Doctor Who! Here it dus be as ma linky:

An da winner .... as chosen by ....  @bunnersandharvs .... dus be ........ @kelsoterrier wiv God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols. Wow, dat's a toughie! Da boys telled me dat:
