@djladylexie
I loved da winnin song! Your feets too big is funny! I fink I go wiv da feet connection. I am goin wiv feet. What does we wear on out feet (well we dussnt but hoomans do). Well boots, shoes, slippers, trainers, fings like that. So is there any songs about shoes? Hmm yes many I fink. I noticed when mum has a new pair of shoes on she wanders round in em for ages all admirin herself an all that like she goin hey I got new shoes on!! Reminds me of dat Paulo Nutini song – New Shoes! Dat ma linky.

i couldn't decide how to make my chain this week! I love piano 'strikers', and could have gone that way. However, I found sheet music for Fats Waller's version of "Muscle Shoals Blues". My human grannie grew up in the Muscle Shores area of the Tennessee River, specifically Florence, Alabama. Her daddy was employed by the Army Corp of Engineers to work on the Wilson Dam. Muscle Shoals has become a stop on the music trail for a lot of recording artists which include Aretha Franklin, Rolling Stones, and Lynryd Skynyrd. So, my pick is "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Synyrd because the lyrics specifically mention Muscle Shoals. FYI, Muscle was the spelling at that time for the shellfish mussels which collected in shallow waters, called the shoals.

Last weeks winner was brilliant (wish I'd thought of it). Fats Waller singing Your Feets Too Big. The theme of feet I spontaneously thought of Nancy Sinatra singing These Boots Were Made For Walking.

Last week da winner wuz Fats Waller a towering figure in Jazz, great composer n pianist. Anuva great n influential Jazz musician who, like Fats, also demonstrated his prowess in Classical music wuz Benny Goodman da King of Swing. In his legendary Carnegie Hall concert in 1938 Goodman featured a sequence of tunes chartin da history of Jazz, one of dese wuz Fats Waller's Honeysuckle Rose. Dis pwovides our linky to one of da gweat moments in Jazz, "Sing Sing Sing". Swing? Dis sounds like rock n roll as Gene Krupa drives it along at breakneck speed wiv his thunderous drumming, only relenting wen da frontmen including Harry James n Goodman take deir solos. Towards da end Jess Stacey is given a rare piano solo, you can hear da audience applaud wen Goodman sensing it'll be magical says "Yeah Jess" as he moves da microphone to da piano. Phew, eres da Fletcher Henderson arrangement of "Sing Sing Sing" impeccably performed by da full Benny Goodman big band at deir peak:

Congrats to Briar ! Am still chuckling. @rosieterrier did win the Lexieschain with "Your Feets To Big" by Fats Waller. Long after Fats was wallering about big feets in New York City, way down in Atlanta , Little Feats were singing about a " Fat Man in the Bathtub ".

Last week Rosie winned wif Your Feets Too Big by Fats Waller. Good choice too. We gonna go from dat (fat man and big feet) to woman wif skinny legs! Dis is Joe Tex wif Skinny Legs and All.
@terenceterrier
I am so pleased dat my pal Rosie won wiv her linky “Your feets too big”. If dat be the case then da person will have a big foot at the end of each leg. Dere woz an Indybum Chief from the Sioux nation called Big Foot. Annuver Sioux Chief woz Crazy Horse. So for my linky I choose “I don’t want to talk about it” by Crazy Horse & sung by Danny Whitten who writted da songy.

Morning last week was Rosie with the Fats Waller song Your Feets too Big so congratulations. I have gone with a link based on things being too big. Showing my age I was a big fan of The Police when their first album came out (I went off them quite quickly though) however on that first album is a song called The Beds Too Big Without you so that's my suggestion another things that's too big. Good luck everyone.
