@sonikebt
Well done @diamondbertie for winning the chain with "We have all the time in the world" by Louis Armstrong. The video to our choice this week focuses on an hourglass showing time running out. The song is "Chocolate" by Snow Patrol,

@skye613
Aww Bertie, what a great choice. So be sticking with time this week also. Louie says we have all the time in the world. Hmmmm, so how did Paul, Kanye & Rihanna discover a new time increment? " FourFiveSeconds " Never have I heard of this!

@maggietkat
Well done Bertie! I noticed your link was to James Bond. Here is another James Bond theme by Nancy Sinatra. Louis may have said  all the time, nancy says that You Only Live Twice.

@claptonterrier
Hello Miss Lexie…last week Sir Uncle Bertie chose a song by Louis Armstrong…Mr Armsrtong, as well as being a ground-breaking trumpet player, was also the first man on the moon in 1969 and so this week our link is “Man on the Moon” by REM…

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Bertie won wiv Louis Armstrong and All The Time in the World. One of our favourite films is Jungle Book (the original not the new one) and we love King Louie (ok ok slightly different spelling) the King of the Swingers singing this.

@terenceterrier
Larst week clever Sir Uncle Bertie winned  wiv da linky "We Have All The Time In The World". Dis songy woz used in da James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". There be lotsa supa dupa songs in these movies so which wun  shall I link to? Well to be all Ying Ylang  ( or woteva) yoo will have da opposite n no time left in da werld if da sky falls in - dat woz summat dat Chicken Licken always worried abowt. So for my linky dis week I chooses da theme toon to da James Bond movie "Skyfall" wot be written n sung by Adele.

@djladylexie
Well done Bertie! We goin wiv The Temptations and Papa Was a Rolling Stone. What? How? Well Louis Armstrong was also known as Satchmo, a nickname that was shortened from Satchelmouth (because of his large mouth) by Melody Maker editor when he came to the UK. Another artist known for his big mouth is Mick Jagger. Jagger is lead singer of the Rolling Stones. The Temptations sang Papa Was A Rolling Stone. Simples!

An da winner wot was decided by dear Bertie .............. was ..................................... Megan! Yay! Well done me pal. You dus choose next week. I love dat song! Did you see the new movie Jungle Book I fort it was brilliant ... jus sayin.

Ere wot Bertie said: This has been a tough choice, I gave it a lot of thought.  The music and the reasons were all worthy in the end I settled for number five link because it makes me smile. Louis Armstrong 's mellow voice singing King of the Swingers did it for me. It was funny and in a way sad.

All the best to everyone who entered, I'm sorry you couldn't all be winners because (Ed: because? I guess we'll never know)

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Ninety Eighth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 298 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was El Tel wiv Sumfink Sumfink put this in later. Let's see wot we got this week:

@maggietkat
Well done Terence. Well, I figured if you could hold back the years, you could reelin' the years. Here is steely Dan.

@skye613
Terence winned the Lexieschainy with " Holding Back The Years" , good job pal! So if we hold the years, does this mean we are in a "Time Warp" ? A classic for my entry today.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Tel won wiv Slimpy Red and Holding Back the Years. We does wish we could hold back the years but instead we is holding out for a hero with the Welsh chanteuse Bonnie Tyler.

@claptonterrier
last week our winner was by the band Simply red…of course no one really thinks of them as a band because they are essentially Mick Hucknall and the rest…so this week our linky is another band of the same stripe…Jamiroquai….Jay Kay and some other dudes….and the song we have picked is Virtual Insanity…watch the video and tell me I’m wrong….

@sonikebt
Sir Tel's winning song last week "Holding back the years" talks about Mick Hucknall's fears after his mother left. Simon Le Bon wrote the lyrics from our choice this week based on fears for his band mate John Taylor due to his drug use. Our link is "Hold back the rain" by Duran Duran.

@diamondbertie

Holding back the years, won I have to submit my choice of Louis Armstrong singing We Have All The Time In The world. We all want to hold back the years, and when we are young we think we have all the time in the world.

@djladylexie
Mick Hucknall was (and is) Simply Red. The band got their name from his red locks! I'm goin wiph redheads and choose Tori Amos and Cornflake Girl.

An da winner dus be ................. @diamondbertie wiph Louis Armstrong and We Has All The Time in the World! Well done to you Bertie .. you dus be choosin next week.

Ere wot Tel said: Fanks for da 7 linkies pals. There woz several songs I rilly liked n da linkies were clever so woz difficult to decide. In da end I goes wiv linky 6 wot be "we have all the time in the world" by Louis Armstrong.

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

Hello pals. Welcome to week 297 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Skye wiph Lady In Red from Chris De Burgh. Let's see wot we got this week:

@maggietkat
Well done Skye! One of my favorite tunes from "Woman in a Red Dress" was written by Stevie Wonder, "I just called to say I Love You".

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Skye winned wiv Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh. The B side of that single was Borderline and this was the title of a song Madonna sung. In 1986 the same year as Lady in Red was released Madonna released a colour themed Album True Blue and we choose Papa Don't Preach our favourite from that album.

@claptonterrier
Last week our winner was a song by Chris de Burgh….we see that Mr de Burgh was born in Argentina….we wondered if there were many other famous musicians born in Argentina…but we did not find any that we knew…but we did see that Che Guevara was born in Argentina and so this week our link is a song which speaks about him in its first line…

Our link is “Panic in Detroit” by David Bowie…"He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van”…woof.

@terenceterrier
Linky I gots to follow is Chris Da Burp n "Lady in Red". Da lady woz wearing a dress wot woz simply red.  Cos Iz not getting any younger I chose their hit songy "Holding Back The Years" as my linky.

@sonikebt
Well done @skye613 on winning the chain with "Lady in Red". Our typist has a bit of an aversion for Chris de Burgh because she shares her name with another of his well known songs about a stripper. If we had a gravy bone for every time someone thought it was funny to sing her the song we would be very very fat! So, shouts very loudly, "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings.

@djladylexie
Hmmm Chris de Burgh - yuk yuk. The song was written about his wifey wot he first saw wearin a red dress. Her name is Diane - so here's to Chris and Diane. I'm going with young love and names. So  here's a little song about Jack and Diane from John Mellencamp.

An da winner dus be Terence wiph Simply Red and Holding Back The Years! Blimey Tel you are on a roll me pal! Well done to you .. you dus be choosin next week.

Ere wot Skye said: Well done all, best links. Number 4 made me laugh and it's a great tune. Congrats!

You has until 9th October 2016 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.

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

Hello pals. Welcome to week 296 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Terence wiph Come On Eileen from Dexy's Midnight Runners. Let's see what we gots:-

@claptonterrier
Hello Miss Lexie…i see that Dexy’s Midnight Runners was the winning link last week….they were lead by a man called Kevin Rowland…but he is not the only famous singing Roland…oh no…there is also Roland Rat….so this week our link is Rat Rapping….sorry about that…oh dear.

@skye613
I must confess that I spent at least 2 days tapping head with paw trying to find the linky. Then I read the lyrics! " That pretty red dress, Eileen ( tell him yes) Oh my dog! Is Eileen Chris DeBurgh's " Lady In Red ?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt2YIpZWBqA&feature=em-share_video_user

@maggietkat
Well done Terence with "Come on Eileen" by Dexie's Midnight Runners.  I have a double link for you today! Come on Eileen was a one hit wonder from the 80's and a graduate school fave. (Picture many geeks doing the arm pumps.) As we found out, Dexie's is a dru-uhh. The other 80's one hit wonder fave was "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats. The village reminds me of Hieronymus Bosch paintings. Of course, ergot mold produces a hallucinogen which grew on wheat for bread making which Bosch undoubtedly partook. (picture Geeks practicing the overhead arm swing).

@sonikebt

The winning song from last week, "Come on Eileen" is about Kevin Rowland's first love/lust. Our choice this week takes a slightly more innocent view of first love in "The Garden Rules" by Snow Patrol.

@djladylexie
Dexy's had quite a few hit singles includin Jackie Wilson Said. I'm in heaven when you smile. The original song was recorded by Van Morrison. Continuing wiv da feme of men in love wiv women so we go wiv Brown Eyed Girl from Van Morrison.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Terence won wiv Dexys Midnight Runners & Come on Eileen. Dexys also sang Jacky Wilson Said so we pick Jacky Wilson singing Reet Petite.

An da winner dus be @skye613 wot won wiv Lady In Red from Chris De Burger mmmm burgers!

Ere wot Tel said: Fanks for da linkies my pals. I definitely likes fings wot be somewhat off da wall so woz tempted to go wiv linkie 1 due to my terrier fascination wiv all fings rattie. But I woz impressed dat a pal read da lyrics to get to one of my all time favrits. Plus I be sitting here wearing my brand new red padded harness *sings* "Terrier in Red mmmm be walking wiv me la la la ....". Oops got carried away I choose linky 2.

So now is over to you. Email me: lex[dot]dogstovesky @ gmail.com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until 9th October 2016 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.
