Lexie's Chain: The Four Hundredth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 400 of Lexie's Chain. Last week da winner wos Terence wiph Like A Rolling Stone by The Rolling Stones. Let's see what we got dis week and who is da winner!

@claptonterrier
Last week our winner was Like a Rolling Stone….its not often you get songs being written about other bands (albeit indirectly)…so tis week our linky will be one of the few others….we give you Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder…a song about the great Duke Ellington.




@cloonfourmegan
Last week Tel won wiv the doubler Like A Rolling Stone sung by would you believe it The Rolling Stones. This Bob Dylan song was also covered by Green Day and our favourite song of theirs is usually known as Time of Your Life but the full title be Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).




@limeoscar
So last week’s winning song was Like a Rolling Stone, but did you know this was demo’d without success in 3/4 time and only became a hit after it was changed to the rockier sound of 4/4 time known today?  So that does be our linky this week... timing.  Arguably one of the most famous pop songs with weird . . . timing is Pink Floyd’s Money, which is in 7/8 timing, apart from Gilmour’s guitar solo which is in 4/4.  It’s all about . . . timing!




@maggietkat
Well done Sir T with Like a Rolling Stone. Thought about Coventry *shibers*. Here is my favorite super *shibers* song, “Thriller” by Michael Jackson.




@djladylexie
Me linky is the name Marianne. How comes you asks? Well, let me tell you. They say a rolling stone gathers no moss. Moss is a plant wot don't have roots and grows like a carpet spreading as it goes. A carpet is a floor covering that makes it nice to walk on. A small carpet is called a rug. Some artists have rugs on stage when they perform. One such artist was the late great Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen wrote a song called So Long Marianne which was about his girlfriend and muse Marianne Ihlen. Mick Jagger also had a relationship with a Marianne, Marianne Faithfull. So here's to Mariannes.
