Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Seventy Second Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 272 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Clapton wiv Marvin Gaye and What's Goin On. Let's see wot we gots this week:

@maggietkat
Well done with Marvin Gaye and What's goin' on. The song was written after seeing police brutality. When I think about police brutality, I think back to the unspeakable Kent State massacre where the Ohio State Militia opened fire on the Kent State campus killing 4 students and injuring 9 others. So, here are Crosby Stills Nash and Young immortalizing the shooting with "Ohio".




@cloonfourmegan
Clapton won last week with Marvin Gaye. I is often Starvin Marvin which be rhyming slang for Hank Marvin and here he be with his Shadows and their classic hit Apache.




@terenceterrier
Larst week our little woolly pal Clapton winned wiv da linky “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye. Da songy I always fink of by him is “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” . Dis means he bin listenin to rumours. “Rumours” is a LP by Fleetwood Mac. I gives yoo da track “Dreams” as my linky (live vershun of corse)



@skye613
Sir Clapton winned with Mr. Marvin Gaye's 1971 classic " What's going On." In 1992, 4 Non Blondes asked the same thing " I said hey what's going on " in their hit " What's Up? " Here's a more recent cover I likes a lot!



@diamondbertie
Good morning. Last week @claptonterrier won with Marvin Gaye singing What's Going On. A lovely choice CT , so much talent, my mind turned to another black singer who died tragically young Sam Cooke my favourite of his is Wonderful World.



@wotterface
Last week's winner was Clapton with Marvin Gaye's Vietnam protest song "What's Going On?" I decided to look at other Vietnam protest songs and found the Creedence Clearwater Revival had also done one. Of course when you think of Creedence your mind automatically thinks of El Duderino, His Dudeness, Duder or simply The Dude and the film The Big Lebowski. So I chose a song from that film. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"

Careful man, there's a beverage here.


@pepperandspot
Our linky this week for Mr Gaye is that the poor chap was shot deaded by his father. Which is very sad. But our linky is a jaunty tune "Daddy Cool " by Darts. Because his daddy eventually died of a bad cold ( pneumonia!)



@sonikebt
@claptonterrier 's winning link by Marvin Gaye asked "What's going on". Well the answer to that is, politically, quite a lot. There is Tories tax affairs, EU referendum, protests against austerity, rows about the NHS etc. Our link this week was a protest against the Tories spending taxpayers money on arms. So in answer to the question "What's going on" well we're "Going Underground" by The Jam.




@djladylexie
Marvin Gaye What's Going on? Well maybe if he'd heard done what his other song about hearing fings on the grapevine he'd know heehee! Hearin somfink through the grapevine means you hear fings through rumours or gossip or so rumour has it!

Ere wot Clapton said: OMD Miss Lexie…this is the hardest Chain we have ever had to judge. So much good music here and some very clever links too. Hmmmm….well, in the end we have opted for link No. 6…Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition…because we do love the Big Lebowski and it has  reminded us to go and have our annual viewing of it.
