@sonikebt
The typist loved @Dogstoyevsky winning song "White Horses" and the TV series when she was a youngster and this reminded her of another song from her youf, The Osmonds and "Crazy Horses". Happy Christmas to you all.

@diamondbertie

Lexie's Chain: The Three Hundred and Seventh Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 307 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Megan wiv Horsey song whose name I can't remember (BOLBOL see what I dun there). Let's see what we gots this penultimate chainy week:

@maggietkat
Well done Megan with America's Horse with no name. I decided to look for bands whose names are countries. My pick is not quite countries, but their hit is all about "Down Under". Here is the video by Men at Work.

@skye613
Prepare to take a walkabout wif me. So Megan won with "A Horse With No Name". That is sad, he had no name. This dog has a name. In 2015 a documentary film was released entitled " A Dog Named Gucci "  This is the story of a dog & the man who saved him from being badly abused. It also chronicles the 7 year-long crusade to change & enforce stricter penalties for animal abuse. " One Voice " was written by Ruth Moody of The Wailin' Jennys and included in the film.

@claptonterrier
Hello Miss Lexie…last week our winner was a song by the band America….we tried hard to think about songs about horses and about bands named after countries but we drew a bit if a blank…and then we realised that the band America was full of young Americans…and so our link this week is to David Bowie and his song “Young Americans”.

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Megan winned wiv da linky "A Horse With No Name".  Dat mean da hoss be nameless *logical ears* . Luckily for me there a group called Nameless so I choose for my linky their track called "Butterfly" cos it be a happy bop along songy.

@bunnersandharvs
So congrachoolashuns Megan fur da winnin linky 'Horse with no name' sung by America. We wos thinking we dus luv horses and dat old Mum did luv da groop America too. So whur we going wid a linky... Well, if dat horse didn't have a name, it must have been wild too which gots us thinking about da songy 'Wild Horses' by da Rolling Stones so we using it as our link dis week cos we been listenin to der new songy 'Just your fool'. So der you has our linky fur da week.

@diamondbertie
@maggietkat won with save a horse by Big and Rich. My choice this time is ALMOST withering a western theme. It comes from the film The Blues Brothers where they are singing Rawhide. The critics panned this film but the public liked it regardless.

@sonikebt
Well done @CloonfourMegan winning the link with "A horse with no name" This week we have chosen as our link a horse that is a name - Horse McDonald with (gets the mistletoe  ready) "So, kiss me".

Lexie's Chain: The Three Hundred and Fifth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 305 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Maggie wiv Donald Fagen's Nightfly. Let's see what we gots this week:

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Maggie won with Nightfly by Donald Fagin. This made us fink of our favourite Fagin Reviewing The Situation in Oliver.

@claptonterrier
last week winner was Donald Fagan with the Nightly…Mr Fagan was famously in the band Steely Dan….that band took its name from a..ahem…thing in a William Burroughs book…and so this week our linky must have a literary theme….there are various bands whose names have come from literature…Steppenwolf..The Doors and Veruca Salt to name but three…but this week our entry is by Moby…who was named after Moby Dick…the celebrity whale from the Herman Melville book…and we have selected his song “Porcelain”…

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Maggie winned wiv Nightfly by Donald Fagan. Fagan woz da baddie gang master in da Dickens tale Oliver Twist wot has been bowf a stage show moosical n a film. We lives not far from Rochester n there be a Dickens Festival on at da mo. Therefore I give yoo one of our favrit songs from da 1968 film "I'd Do Anything (For You"  n cos I'd do anyfink for my #lexieschain pals.

@skye613
So last week Maggie won with " Nightfly ". Way back when M was growing up there was a female DJ, Alison Steele, on WNEW in New York. One of the few at the time , she was known as the Night Bird. According to Jimi Hendrix's manager the song " Night Bird Flying " was inspired by Alison. If it was raining at the start of her late night show , she always led with The Doors " Riders On The Storm " , my linky this week.

@diamondbertie
Maggie won with Donald Fagen, Nightfly, I'd not heard it but I liked it, I'm not able to give a good link but I shall still have a go. It's that time of year where we are bombarded with Christmas songs some creating their own ear worms. My favourite has to be Fairytale of Christmas by the pogues.

@sonikebt
@MaggieTKat won the chain with "The Nightfly" from Donald Fagan's autobiographical album "The Nightfly". We are going autobiographical this week with a George Michael song which was written at the time he was trying to distance himself from his record company Sony and the image created for his album Faith. "Interestingly" the only shot of George in the video is of his bottom - a reference to the Saturday Night Live spoof of him shaking his ass in Faith. Our link is "Freedom 90".

@djladylexie
Me linky dus be hats. Ok let's see. Well, me readed that Donald Fagen (not fagan as I fort) was founding member of Steely Dan. I always get Steely Dan and Steeleye Span mixed up as to who is who. Steeleye Span had a song called All Around Me Hat. Donald Fagen's father was an accountant wot worked in the office of a hat maker! so me link is hats!

An da winner as chosen by ................. Maggie  ............... dus be ..................Skye! Yay! Well done me pal you dus be choosin next week.

Ere wot Maggie said: Winner is The Doors with Riders in the Storm. You all knew my favorites! Reviewing the Situation features Fagin at his best, Clever reasoning with I'd do anything, Night bird with the Doors, and the amazing Steeleye Span. I chose the Doors because it is dreary in St. Louis, I remember the Night Bird, and Riders is an early Jim Morrison before he got boozy and whipped out his you know.
