Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Forty Seventh Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 247 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Skye wiv Say Somfink by Christina Aguilera. Let's see what we go dis week!

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Skye winned wiv da songy Say Something by A Great Big World / Christina Aguilera. So I ponders for a bit n finks dat if dey asking someone to say summat it means dat person is not talkin and be silent. So for my linky dis week I gives yoo a golden oldie Silence is Golden by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

@sonikebt
Well done to @Skye613 who won last week with "Say Something". Now in the song Christina does say, when talking about love, that she "will stumble and fall". The legendary Streisand used the same phrase when talking about love in her 80's hit "Woman in Love" which was written by Robin and Barry Gibb. So our link this week is Barbara with "Woman in Love".

@maggietkat
Well done Skye with Say Something. I thought I would follow up the duo chain with 2 Neils (Young and Diamond) singing "Old Man". You get an extra point if you can figure out which is which.

@bunnersandharvs
Well dat Skye had a fabuloos linky last week by Christina Aguilera and we been listening to it lots so thanking you fur dat, pal. We shorts about dat songy and how if you don't say something you prolly gonna loose it when you could have had it all. So, going with Rolling in the Deep by Adele. Have greeeeaat week pals and Maggie we so happy you getting betterer too!

@djladylexie
Well done skye! The song about loosing someone you love and saying goodbye. When that happens the days can seem lonely and sad. So this week I choosin Bill Withers Ain't No Suhshine sums it up quite well.

@diamondbertie
@skye613 won with Great Big World by Christine Aguillera, a very emotional song about loss and departures. My choice is also about loss and departure is Days by Kirsty MacColl.

An da winner as chosened by Skye dus be ...........................................  Sonic an Spike wiv Woman in Love from Barbara Streisand! Good one me pals! You choosin next week.

Ere wot Skye said: So many great linkies this week. It is so very hard to chose but one caught me right away. How can I not chose The Fabulous , The Spectacular Barbra. And a very close second with the 2 Neils! Well done pals!

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Forty Sixth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 246 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Terence wiv Robin Thicke and Blurred Lines. Let's see what we go dis week!


@wotterface
No big explanation for my song this week, just read this...

BBC Article

then listen to my choice of song...

Much better

@wonderwinger
So the handsome @terenceterrier won last week with Robin Thicke and Blurred Lines. This song was written and produced by Pharrell Williams. Pharrell Williams is well known for his song "Happy". The Blurred Lines song got them into trouble with Marvin Gaye's children who sued them as they said it sounded like their father's song "Got To Give It Up". The judge found in The Gaye children's favour so my linky shall be Marvin Gaye's last single that was released whilst he was alive "Joy".

@sonikebt
Last week @TerenceTerrier gave us "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams. Now Pharrell is probably best known for his song "Happy" which was remixed, to become "UNhappy" by Woodkid, an artist who we discovered through the chainy.  So our link this week is a song by Woodkid, which Pharrell remixed (albeit not this version) called "I Love You".

@maggietkat
Well done with Blurred Lines! I noticed that Al Jarreau financially backed Robin's first band. This is Al and Dave Brubeck blurring the lines with the innovative 5/4 time signature piece "Take 5". (See what I did? 2 links! Link to Robin himself AND blurred lines!).

Maggie sended dis message: Thanks everyone for their wishes.  I am recovering, but I don't know that Mum will! Here I am sleeping on the back of mom's chair. I haven't done this in over a month.

@skye613
Ma pal Terence is on a Roll! Great tune " Blurred Lines ". So many talented people preforming. Also the song was nominated for a Grammy in the best duo/pop performance category. This category was only added to the Grammys in 2012 . In 2015 my link this week did win this category. This is one that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. So many levels ... So many meanings. Enjoy!

@claptonterrier
Last week Si Terence chose “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke. Mr Thicke was famously sued by the family of Marvin Gaye for plagiarising one of his songs for Blurred Lines. Another current singer who was also sued for copyright infringement was Sam Smith. Tom Petty claimed that Mr Smith’s hit “Stay With Me” was like Mr Petty’s song “I wont back down”…he sued and won and was awarded a song-writing credit on Mr Smith’s song…

So this week our link is Sam Smith and “stay With ME”.

@bunnersandharvs
So dat Ter came up wid a grand linky last week wid Blurred Lines. It sure is a paw tapper and it gots us thinking dat bout dem lines bein blurred and confused. It gots us thinking dat if you walk da line in love and life, you will be fine so we going wid an oldie by Johnny Cash called, you gots it...'I Walk the Line'. Why? Because he wrote it about his devotion and love fur his wife June. Der wurnt no lines blurred lines der, no sirrree. Have fun chooosin da linky dis week Ter and happy week to evapawdy.

@djladylexie
Hmmm blurred lines, white lines, the thin blue line, washing lines, walking the line .... lines lines everywhere! Arghhh! I can't see anyfink but lines so that's what I'm going with. I like seein washin on the line especially on a windy day. Shirts billowin in the wind but like Mrs Bartolozzi. Who? Mrs Bartolozzi of course.

An da winner as chosened by Terence dus be ........................................... Skye wiv Christina Aguilera an Say Somfink.

Ere wot Terence said: WOWSER ! Da #lexieschainers came up wiv clever linkies dis week. Lotsa good songies too n I had to listen to dem twice. Got it down to shortlist of 3 but *deep breff n long pawse like wot dey do on da TV results shows* I choose linky numba 5 wot be  A Great Big World/ Christina Aguilera  wiv "Say Something".

Yay well done again Skye! You choosin next week.

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Forty Fifth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 245 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Skye wiv Maggie May by Rod Stewart. Let's see what we go dis week!

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Syke gived us Rod Stewart wiv “Maggie May”. Corse dese days wen I hear dose werds I finks of da BT wot lives wiv Andy  Murray. So I asks wot be his favrit moosic wot he listens to before he plays tennis. One of these be “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke.

@maggietkat
Well done Skye with Rod Stewart's Maggie May. I got thinking about May December romances, and I remembered a movie that was released also released in 1971. "Summer of '42" was an incredible romantic movie that dealt with loss of a soldier and then seeking help. Thus, my song is the hauntingly beautiful "The Summer Knows".

@djladylexie
Well done skye wiv Rod an Maggie! The song is about a young man involved wiv an older woman. One famous movie of that ilk was the wonderufl Mrs Robinson. The feme song of course sung by Simon and Garfunkel. That is me linky Mrs Robins by S&G.

An da winner as chosened by Skye dus be ........................................... Terence wiv Blurred Lines! Well done Tel. So you choosin next time Tel.

Ere wot Skye said: Wow!  Great links to choose from this week and I like them all. But this little Dixie has to go with the BT. Linky #1. Thanks pals.

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred Forty Fourth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 244 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Terence wiv They Is Comin To Take Me Away Ha Ha Hee Hee. That is not about me :).

@diamondbertie
Well done @terenceterrier, I really smiled at your choice of Mad Hatter with They're Coming To Take Me Away. Alice in Wonderland does allude to mind bending drugs in many parts of his books. My choice of a link is The Beatles and their song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds which is unashamedly about LSD and I'm not referring to old pounds shillings and pence.

@claptonterrier
last week Sir Terence chose a funny song and illustrated it with a clip from a film featuring Johnny Depp…..Mr Depp’s best known role is as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean films….he said he modelled his character on Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones…so this week our link is Moonlight Mile by the Rolling Stones…

 @skye613
Congrats to Tantrum Terence! Ma head is hurting from trying to link this tune but here goes. As Terence told us the winner last week was originally done by Napoleon XIV , who was actually Jerry Samuels a recording engineer. This novelty recording was further enhanced by the same tune recorded on the B side in reverse. Ahhh B sides My link this week is the B side of " Reason to Believe " . Which actually gave Rod Stewart his first #1 in the US.

@sonikebt
TerenceTerrier did win last week with a song by NeuroticFish about a man being taken to the funny farm. Now Fish is the name of the former frontman from Marillion who has a recording studio called The Funny Farm. So, since I'm sure we all love a bit of neo-prog rock, our link this week is "Kaleigh" by Marillion.

@djladylexie
Terence won wiv being taken off by the men in white coats. The men in white being doctors and in this case for doolally people. Some  people believe in aliens you know and some consider them mad too. Course, luckily the men in black tell us that there are aliens coz they are alien hunters as we all know. So, I chooses Will Smif and Men In Black.

An da winner as chosened by Terence dus be ........................................... Skye wiv Rod Stewart an Maggie May. A triumphant return me pal! Well done. So you choosin next time Skye.

Ere wot Tel said: ello Lexie. After mutch careful considerayshun I chooses linky numba 3 – da old rocker Rod Stewart wiv “Maggie May” . I duss likes to see a good linky speshally wen it arrives at one of my favrit songs. Mr Rod woz on Strictly tonite too so dat mite hav influenced me.
