So, America and Horse With No Name. After a bit of research and toying with the idea of bands who were named after geographical locations etc, we looked at what films/TV this song has featured in instead. We knew it from Breaking Bad but it also featured in Good Morning Vietnam, as did Don't Worry Baby by The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys were from California and The B-side to A Horse With No Name was a track called Everyone I Meet Is From California. It's like a double pronged attack! So our choice this week is Don't Worry Baby, sit back and enjoy those harmonies. (sorry linky wuddnt work in blogger so picked annuva one).

Well done Freddie! "Horse with no name" took Mom back to college years (mom didn't inhale). I was amazed to find out that America was managed by George Martin (the fifth Beatle) who also managed Cheap Trick. Originally a bar band in Mom's home state, they are known for "hits" like "I want you to want me". Later personnel changes examined the "Midwest" Beatles moniker. They did a concert, "Sgt Pepper Live" which was released in 2009. Their version of "Daytripper" is not to be missed. HOWEVER, the truly surprising part of this band's history is a collaboration with John Lennon. My chain is "I'm Losing You" with John Lennon and Cheap Trick.

Last link was America with "A Horse With No Name". Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue" spent most of his life wishing his dad had left him with no name. Was going to go with one of Mr Cash's own versions of his song but stumbled on this awesome cover version by the Polish musician Maciej Maleńczuk - so here is "Chłopiec o imieniu Sue". (sorry annuva one wot won't work in blogger so you has to click the linky to see it)

So many ways to go from this great link. Congrats Freddie! Was all set with another link when I got to thinking about the word horse. Of course the animal but the word also is street slang for heroin. This is a game about music & I wonder what the musical landscape would be like if so many had not been lost to this drug. My link this week is Neil Young's " The Needle and The Damage Done" covered by Lori McKenna.

We has to link from 'Horse with No Name' by America. Hmm ... well, the chaps in America were sons of US Air Force personnel stationed in England during the war. Their base was a place called Bushey Hall, near St Albans in Hertfordshire.
After the RAF had moved out, it became a golf club. What do you hope to get if you play golf? A hole in one! Speaking of holes .... my linky is 'There's a Hole in the Bucket' by Harry Belafonte. (I reckon the sun must have gone to mum's brain!)
@djladylexie
There are plenty of horses wiv names though. For instance, Redrum was a very famous British horse. He was the most famous horse in the UK closely followed by Black Beauty as the second. So we gives you the feem to Black Beauty one of mum's favourite shows when she ickle!

Well that clever Freddie won again last week with horse with no name. we have taken the no name bit to link to an artist that had no name at one time and who became the The Artist Formerly Know as Prince and was represented by a symbol. This was done to resolve some difficult contractual position he found himself in. So from a horse with no name to a man with no name our choice is When Doves Cry by Prince. Enjoy the weather everyone.
