Maggie did win the #Lexieschain last week with the wonderful Harry Nilsson song " Coconut " . Congrats. The doctor told Harry to put da lime in da coconut and you feel better. I think Kid Creole & The Coconuts were trying to help Harry . " Don't Take My Coconuts".

Da winner last week wuz Harry Nilsson who is well known fer his recordin of "Everybody's Talkin" which wuz bwilliantly and atmosphewically used in da film "Midnight Cowboy". Da rest of da score fer "Midnight Cowboy" wuz written by John Barry whose marriage to Jane Birkin ended at da time dis film wuz bein made. Jane Birkin left him fer Serge Gainsbourg wiv whom she is most famously associated n dis bwings us to Dad's favwite Gainsbourg song n our linky dis week. "Couleur Cafe has bin recorded by numerous singers inlcuding Jane Birkin n her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg but we is goin wiv Serge's owiginal which includes a luvly tenor sax. Da atmosphere in dis is so French dat Dad feels he weally shud be sittin at a pavement cafe dwinkin Pastis n smoking Gauloises.   So ere's Serge Gainsbourg admiwably undistwacted by an exotic dancer, "Couleur Cafe".

Well done Maggie for last week. Very simple link from me as I have left it late. The winning song last week had the word coconut in it. That's made me think of Kid Creole and the Coconuts who were around in my youth. Their best known song was Annie I'm Not Your Daddy. So that's my link a coconut based one have a good week everyone.

@maggietkat won last week with the marvellous song from Reservoir Dogs, Coconut by Harry Nilsson, I listened to it carefully and it's about drinking - just drinking I spontaneously thought of another drinking song which is Drink Drink Drink sung by Mario Lanza from the Operetta Student Prince.

Well done Maggie giving us Harry Nilsson and Coconut to link with this week. Now, I was torn between going for a tropical linky (pawhaps Club Tropicana by Wham) or a Reservoir Dogs link maybe Little Green Bag. However, I then discovered that Harry Nilsson's tunes have been used in loads of other TV programmes & films. Indeed Coconut first appeared on The Muppet Show in 1979. In learning this i have chosen Bein' Green by Kermit the Frog.

An da winner ............... as chosen by Maggie .............. dus be ........... Harvs and Lord P (@bunnersandharvs) Well dun ma pals. Oh an dat means you will be selectin the winner next week.

Ere wot Maggie said bowt it: 3 of the choices were from Kid Creole, so I felt that I couldn't choose just one. coconuts puts me in a summer mood, so I chose wouldn't it be nice by the Beach Boys.
