@maggietkat congrats Skye on the great tune. The song was written by 3 people which include Naomi Judd. Naomi and her daughter Wynonna, better known as The Judds, took country music by storm in the 1980's. My link is The Judds and one of my favorites, "Rockin' with the Rhythm of the Rain'.
@claptonterrier Hi Miss Lexie…last week Miss Skye chose a song called “Love Can Build a Bridge”…we have been trying to do our link all week this week so that we didn’t have to do a last minute entry like last week…but we kept forgetting what the song was that we were supposed to be linking to…so that has finally made our choice very easy indeed….we ave chosen “Don’t Forget About the Bridge” by the Blind Boys of Alabama…
@terenceterrier Last week da winning linky woz Cher n 3 others singing “Love Can Build A Bridge”. Cos it iz nearly Halloween I remembas dat Cher woz in da film The Witches Of Eastwick. This was also made into a stage musical so I choose a song from it called “Look At me”.

Well, Neneh Cherry also appears in a video wiv TheThe called Slow Train to Dawn where she be tied up on the train tracks demonstratin ow the man is not prepared to let the woman be her true self. Plus bridges go over train tracks! Yay! heehee.

Hello pals! Welcome to week 194 of #lexieschain. Last week was Briar wiv You Or No-one from Chrissie Hynde. Let us see what we gots dis week:
@smcheetham
MOrning all well done Briar for last week. We have used Chrissie Hynde as our link for the chain for this week. Chrissie was very briefly married to Jim Kerr from Simple Minds. They have been through a number of incarnations over the years this track is from New Gold Dream an early album which contained a number of their early hits. I have chosen Glittering Prize which has a very 80s video with lots of chiseled jaws. So link is Chrissie to Jim and song Is Glittering Prize by Simple Minds.
@Wotterface
So, last weeks winner was a Chrissie Hynde song. She was in a band called The Pretenders. Lots of musicians pretend to be other people - it's called alter egos. I thought about people like David Bowie and Lady Gaga but then I thought about Damon Albarn and his band Gorillaz. Gorillaz are all animated and each character has a back story, Damon voices the singer 2D. They have many songs to choose from and lots of amazing live performances using holograms (check them out) but we chose their first song "Clint Eastwood" especially for the zombie gorillas!
@terenceterrier
Last week supermodel Briar winned wiv da linky “ You or no one” by Chrissie Hynde wot be pro Animal Rights. Annuva female singer / song writer who is very active in the animal welfare field is Maria Daines. She be a patron of Doris Banham Dog Rescue wot help pound dogs on kill lists in da UK n find dem spaces at rescues. I wouldn’t be alive today if dey hadn’t stepped in n put me in emergency boarding in kennels when my 7 days were up at da pound cos da local rescue had no space for me. So iz duty bound to pick a songy by her n I chooses “Where Do All The Angels Go”.
@claptonterrier
Hi Miss Lexie…last week Lady Briar chose a song by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders….in a rush today the first thing I thought about Miss Hynde was that she used to be married to Jim Kerr of Simple Minds and so…we are hurriedly linking to “Waterfront” by Simple Minds…”come in, come out of the rain” they sang, how appropriate.
@skye613
Great tune Briar! I try to stay away from repeating an artist but just had to pick this one this week. First ,it has 4 super artists and second because " Love Can Build a Bridge " tells of a love that grows and " You or No One " shows that love between a man and his pup.
@maggietkat
congrats on the Chrissie Hynde tune! I know she works with dog rescues, so I thought I would choose something about the love of dogs. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded a great song about the love of a man and dog, "Mr. Bojangles".
@diamondbertie
Last linky was won by Briar @wonderwinger with You or No One sung by Chrissy Hynde who as well as talented singer was an animal activist the song is a love song. My choice is Rossini"s Cats Duet by Ann Murray, Felicity Lott and Vladimir Shakin, which is a love song with a difference. Who hasn't been woken up by cats courting?
@djladylexie
Chrissie Hynde was animal activist. She was also romantically involved wiv ay Davies from The Kinks. So we gowin wiv Animal by The Kinks!
An da winner as chosen by @wonderwinger dus be ..................................... @skye163. Yay! Well done me pal. You dus be choosin next time.
Ere wot Briar saided: My linky selection shall be no 5. All super links but I liked the love linky of this one.
So it's over to you. Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until 26th October 2014 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.

Hello pals! Welcome to week 193 of #lexieschain. Last week was Sam Cooke and Chain Gang. Let us see what we gots dis week:
@terenceterrier Middle of da night search for inspirashun to link Sam Cooke n Working on A Chain Gang to a brill linky to impress da judge. I had a good fink and remembas dat it woz slaves wot werked on chain gangs. So for my linky I gives yoo Slave to Love by Bryan Ferry. I gives yoo in best Tucker tradishun a live vershun of da songy. Dis from a concert in Lyon and I fink betta than da original offishull video.
@wonderwinger Well done @Skye613 giving us Sam Cooke and Chain Gang to make links in the chain. This immediately made me think of the song by The Pretenders "Back on the Chain Gang". The Pretenders had taken their name from the Platters' song "The Great Pretender". Sam Cooke had also made a soulful cover version of this song. The Pretenders only original member is Chrissie Hynde; an artist renowned for her animal rights views. This year she released my linky: "You or no one" a song for all dogs, whether they be loved or looking for love, everywhere.
@wotterface Dead simple this week. Last week was Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang" and Johnny Cash did a song with the same title so we decided to pick a Johnny Cash song. We've actually gone with his cover of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt" because it's possibly better than the original and the video is particularly moving, showing an ageing Cash after the death of June...
@diamondbertie Last week Working on a Chain Gang sung by Sam Cooke a great choice from @skye613 I love Sam Cooke who died tragically young. It got me thinking of prison films and the music associated with them I keep coming back to the music of The Great Escape this is my choice.
@smcheetham We keep missing Lexie's chain we are sorry. This week we have used the word Cooke as our link and used it to take us to Paul Cook the drummer in the Sex Pistols. Different spelling but don't suppose that matters we have chosen Pretty Vacant for that incendiary opening guitar which even now sounds really really exciting so that our link for this week good luck all.
@maggietkat Well done Skye with Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang". A 1955 prison film titled Unchained is best known for the theme song which was recorded by many artists including Sam Cooke. My prison related chain (gang) is "Unchained Melody". The artists best know for the song are the Righteous Brothers who had a resurgence due to the movie "Ghost".
@djladylexie Chain Gang. A chain is gang (ha) of prisoners wot works while they is all chained together. We fort bowt filums wiv chain gangs in em. One wot we likes is Cool Hand Luke wiv Paul Newman. So Chain Gang > Cool Hand Luke > Paul Newman. Paul Newman starred in quite a few filums wiv Robert Redford. Our favourite dus be Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. An a great song from da movie is Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. Somfink I bet chain gangs would be happy wiv to keep em cool!
@claptonterrier Hi Miss Lexie. Last week Miss Skye won with a song abut a chain gang…a chain gang of course is a group of prisoners chained together doing lots of work¦that sounds awful to us so if I was in jail I could definitely be looking to break out and so my linky this week is Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy!
@freddie_bt Gweat winner last week not too many singers or songs offer sympafy to prisoners. Sam Cooke also publicly supported Civil Rights wiv Change is Gonna Come which makes most contemporary Soul seem bland n soulless by comparison but dere is still passion n pwotest in music. Wes not fans of most Rap n Hip Hop but we duz like Nas n da first time we heard Just a Moment we wuz blown away by its power, its restrained anger at ow a life of crime leadin to a senseless death or prison is da lot fer too many. It also used a confrontational word dat caused a dispute wiv Jesse jackson, Nasâ response wuz change happened but problems still exist n pwotest continues in a new way. Da song also calls fer moments of silence to remember fwends, relatives, soldiers anyone who has died, Sam Cooke wuz murdered in circumstances dat remain controversial. Our linky Just a Moment by NasÂ
@bunnersandharvs Well here we is on anouthur week with a great song to to find a linky fur. Well done to Skye & Sonny. So Sam Cooke wos singin about working hard on a chain gang....which wos about inekwality and hardship. It gots us thinking abowt Dolly Parton's song 'Nine to Five'. Cos it about how sum womens dus wurk so hard dey dus 'lose your life' cos it all 'take and no giving'. It also put a smile on our face and we did tap our paws too. Good luck choosing pals and happy day to you all.
An da winner as chosen by @skye613 dus be ..................................... @wonderwinger .. Briar Chrissie Hynde and You Or No One. Yay! Well done me pal. You dus be choosin next time.
Ere wot Skye saided: The links this week were all wonderfully woven around working on the chain gang, the lonely desolate feeling. Picking link # 2 as it touched my heart. Loved all- really close with #1,6 & 9. Well done chainy pals!

Hello pals! Welcome to week 192 of #lexieschain. So last time was @wotterface wiv I'mGoing Back There Someday sung by Gonzo from The Muppets. Let see what we gots dis week:
@maggietkat
Well done with Gonzo singing "I'm going to go back there someday". Each time Mum returns home, it is a shock what has changed. So my link is what would happen if you went back and everything was different with no rhyme or reason. My song is the Pretenders with "City was Gone".
@diamondbertie
@Wotterface won last week with the Muppets song I'm Going Back There Someday, Paul Williams also wrote that, my choice is My Name is Tallulah which he also wrote.
@claptonterrier
Hi Miss Lexie….we see that last week Miss Wyn chose a song from the Muppets Movie….as we like drummers in this house that made us think of Animal, the Muppet drummer…it is said that he was modelled on Keith Moon from the Who and so this week our linky is Pinball Wizard by the Who….but to link it right back to the Muppets we have chosen the version by Elton John who made a famous appearance on the Muppets TV show…
@skye613
Great pick Wynters. So I was looking at the lyrics and reading some & the thoughts I saw were all pertaining to struggling to achieve dreams only to have those dreams fade before reaching the ultimate goal. Sam Cooke sings about those whose dreams have been shattered by their own actions.
@freddie_bt
Watchin da Muppets Statler n Waldorf wemind me of my typist, deys da owiginal gwumpy old men sittin dere moanin in da Stalls. Typist's unbearable if da wadio's on, moanin bout all da music, he likes wot he likes n dats dat. Next Saturday Statler or is he Waldorf will be in da Stalls watchin Underworld live n not moanin, dey will perform our linky COWGIRL coz it's a performance of Dubnobasswithmyheadman to mark da 20th anniversary of its release. Pawently music's jus not wot it used to be, yeah Dad wotever.
@djladylexie
Wyn's winnin song was written by Paul Williams an sung by Gonzo. Annuva member of the muppets was Kermit the frog. The french love eating frogs legs. A famous french electronic music duo wot is pawesome is Daft Punk. Daft Punk collaborated with the also pawesome Paul Williams and produced the song we dus choose wot be Touch.
@cathykeisha
I’ve listened to the winning song. Concats to @WOtterface and this came to mind. FozzieBear is playing guitar and in my choice is about another cartoon bear. I couldn’t find the version I know best, Mary Travers but this is good.
Wyn said: Some excellent choices this week but it came down to
two. My Name is Tallulah from the brilliant Bugsy Malone and Sam Cooke's chain
gang. We chose Sam Cooke as we like the harmonies and Mom can't hit the high
notes of Tallulah. Sam Cooke was actually a song we've heard before ages ago
and had forgotten about, so thanks for that link as its bought it back to
us.
So it's over to you. Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until 12th October 2014 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.
