Lexie's Chain: The Three Hundred and Twenty Second Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 322 of Lexie's Chain. Last week the winner was Skye wiv Tiger Mount Peasant Song from Fleet Foxes. REMEMBERS! CHANGE TO DEADLINE NOW MONDAY NOT SUNDAY COZ MUM USELESS. Let see what we gots this week:

@claptonterrier
Last week our winner was by the band Bastille..so that immediately made us think about France...and as I am off to France and Belgium this weekend I thought I would see if there were any songs about Bastille Day...and of course there are...

So this week our linky is Bastile Day by Rush...not so much because we think it might win but more because we like the thought of our pals having to listen to some Rush....BOL!

@sky613
In 2011, Bastille self-released their second EP " Laura Palmer". In 1990, one of the top rated shows was Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was a huge cult favorite, though it only lasted 2 seasons. It dealt with the question... Who Killed Laura Palmer. Our linky today is from the soundtrack of the show. All the music used on the show was original.

@maggietkat
Well done with Bastille's  . I thought about the Bastille and other great *cough* prisons. I seemed to recall this song going round "I dreamed a Dream". I looked it up and it was from some musical Les Misérables . So, that is my link.

@daisy_dor
Congrats to Sonic for winning da linky last week. Me dunno how some groups come up with their names, but the Bastille is a medieval fortress, armoury & political prison in Paris wot was famously stormed during the Frenchy revolution. Marie Antoinette was da last queen of da Frenchys and allegedly told peeps to eat cake if they not afford bread. Maybe not da best idea she ever had and she did laters have her head lopped off so mebbe dat proved the point. Still I can imagine her going to her death singing my choice of linky dis week ..... Edith Piaf - Non, je ne regrette rien.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Sonic won with Good Grief and Bastille. That group made us think of France and all things revolutionary which takes us to  one of our favourite musicals and this stirring rendition from the film version.

@diamondbertie
Sonic chose Good Grief by Bastille, this is in a way a lament, my choice is another lament and if you listen to the words they are so sad, it's the Skye Boat Song sung by Kenneth McKellar. After the fall of the Jacobites at Colluden in 1745 Bonny Prince Charlie fled for his life. The revenge brought to the scots was unimaginable and terrible.

@terenceterrier
Larst week pals Sonic n Spike win da chainy wiv "Good Grief" by Bastille. Dat is summat wot peeps say when dey surprised. Annuva saying is "Goodness Gracious Me" .  There be a song of this name wot woz recorded by Peter Sellers n Sophia Loren to promote their film "The Millionairess" . More recently it woz covered by Rowan Atkinson n Pixie Lott so I gonna use dis video as my linky.

@djladylexie
Sonic did win wiv good grief by bastille. Hmmm well the Bastille was a fortress in Paris wot was erm ... well stormed by the people for the people wot was part of the revolution in France. The most notorious killing machine of the french revolution was the guillotine wot chops off your head especially if you was royal. One such person was Marine Antoinette. Lady Gaga duns a song about her so dat me linky wot is Lady Gaga and Marie Antoinette.

An da winner as chosen by ............... Sonic ...................... dus be ............................. Bertie! Yay well done me pal. You be choosin next week!

Ere wot Sonic said:  Thanks for all the great links this week - quite an eclectic mix. Our choice this week is link 6 - The Skye Boat Song. The reason we picked this one is because Flora MacDonald was born on the Isle of South Uist as was my lovely Dad.  Anything that reminds me of him and his beautiful homeland is always a good choice. As a fan of Twin Peaks we were very nearly swayed by link 2.

So now is over to you. Email me: lex[dot]dogstovesky @ gmail.com or DM me on MONDAY 10th April 2017 (gets it to me by 10am UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.

Lexie's Chain: The Three Hundred and Second Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 302 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Maggie wiv Da Who and The Kids Is Alright. Let's see wot we gots this week:

@skye613
Congrats Maggie! The Kids are Alright , I wonder about the parents. Sticking with kids & live, my link this week is " Teach Your Children" covered by Kathy Mattea, Alison Krauss & Suzy Boggus. This was performed at the White House. Peace.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Maggie won with The Kids Are Alright by the Who. What a week it has been and we have to mark the passing of the irreplaceable Leonard Cohen following the theme of The Who with Who By Fire with the very pertinent lyrics Who in Mortal Chains Who in Power?

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Maggie winned wiv "The Kids Are Alright" by The Who. Dis woz originally on da My Generation LP. Dis takes me niftily to my linky wot be "Alright Now" by Free cos it be enjoyed by same same generation of kids wot heard da original Who songy n it share da Alright werd. Cos it be Remembrance Sunday I remembas  Tucker who be a sadly departed lexieschain Champion n gives yoo a live vershun cos he luvved to do dat. Dis vershun woz recorded at da Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.

@wotterface
Last week's winner was The Who's The Kids Are Alright. The first line of that song is about watching your girl dance with other men and this song is about seeing someone you loved dancing with other people too. It's Robyn with Dancing on my Own.

@sonikebt
Well done @MaggieTKat winning the link last week. If the "The Kids are Alright" get your dancing shoes (& hats) on because the everything's gonna be alright. "It's alright" by East 17.

@djladylexie
Well done Maggie! My linky does be Everybody's Talkin' from Midnight Cowboy sun by Harry Nilsson. Why? Well, The Kids are Alright from The Who. The Kids Are Alright was also a 1979 rockumentary about the band. A week after the first rushes, Keith Moon, drummer in The Who died from an overdose. Eerily, Moon died in the very same flat that Cass Elliott also died in. The flat was owned by Harry Nilsson who believed the flat was cursed.

An da winner wot was decided by Maggie.............. is .....................................Terence! Yay! Well done me pal. You dus choose next week. (Ed: Might have to start calling this Tel's Chain BOLBOL - miss you Tucker!)

Ere wot Maggie said: I have an impossible task this week. Teach your children shows Mrs Clinton smiling ages ago before her losing battle this past week. Next, the passing of Leonard Cohen is near and dear to my heart. Finally, losing Tucker is never far from my mind.  Honorable mention is the Nilsson link. (He was HOT in the day!) I chose " Alright Now" by Free in Tucker's honor. Cheers dear corgi link master.

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXkoNN0YzOo

@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.

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!

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

Hello pals. Welcome to week 292 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was me wiph Eurythmics an Missionary Man. Let's see wot we got this week.

@sonikebt
Well done Lexie for winning with "Missionary Man" by The Eurythmics. Dave Stewart, inspired by the performances of U2 & Talking Heads, wanted to write a song which could be performed in an arena setting. The Eurythmics made the crossover to arenas & Missionary Man went on to win a Grammy for Best Rock Performance. U2 hold the most Grammy's in this category & our choice this week is their winning song from 2001 - "Beautiful Day".

@terenceterrier

*bops round room to “Missionary Man” by da Eurythmics* Da logic goes dis way. A Missionary Man talks abowt God n Heaven n Angels n fings. Annie Lennox woz lead singer in Eurythmics. So I chooses track when she woz a solo artist “There Must Be An Angel” (live vershun of corse).

@wotterface
Last week's winner, Missionary Man by the Eurythmics is a song that gives advice, don't mess with the missionary man. So my choice this week is another song with lots of advice. Baz Luhrmann's Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen.

@cloonfourmegan
Hello me pal. Well you won last week with fabulous Annie Lennox and Missionary Man. So we choose the very lovely orchestral piece Gabriel's Oboe from the film The Mission.

@diamondbertie
You are clever to win the Eurythmics and Missionary Man, the theme of religion is full of fabulous songs and tunes, here is my choice a God of a different sort. Fire sung by Arthur Brown

@claptonterrier
Hello Miss Lexie…last week you won with a song called Missionary Man…and that got us to think about missionaries…..and we wondered where you might find them….and so this week our link is a song called Africa by Toto…

@skye613
Congrats to Lexie! So the Missionary Man goes and spreads the good word to all the peoples. And what better way to spread the word than with a tune. Mr. Mister would help with that task!

@maggietkat
Well done Lexie with Annie Lennox. I like Annie, but I have had a 24 year old ear worm from her premiere solo album. I hope to never walk on broken glass! What do you drink from glasses? Wine. And of course diamonds are used to score and break glass. My link of the week is Neil Diamond performing his composition, "Red Red Wine".

An da winner as chosened by me dad dus be ................... Clapton wiv Toto and Africa. So you be choosin next week me pal.

Ere wot me dad said: Well, I like the Toto and Africa one very simple and straightforward but the ear worm link was very good so I am going with Red Red Wine, Neil Diamond. Cheers!

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 4th September 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 First Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 291 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Skye wiv Son of a Preacher Man from Melissa Etheridge. Let's see wot we got this week.

@terenceterrier
Larst week pal Skye winned wiv da linky “Son of a Preacher Man” singed by Melissa Etheridge. Yesterday we woz cornered in da front garden by two elderly ladies wot turned owt to be from da local Jehovah Witness church. Dey had some rilly crazy fings to say abowt animals. So I gonna choose a linky by Manic Street Preachers. Cos we still gots lotsa hot weather I pick da songy called “Indian Summer”.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Skye won with Melissa Etheridge singing Son of A Preacher Man. We are keeping the religious theme going and pick Praise You by FatBoy Slim. We loves the dance troup too!

@claptonterrier
last week Miss Skye won with “Son of a Preacher Man”…so this week we are offering up a song by some actual sons of a preacher man….the band consists of three Followill brothers (and a cousin) who grew up in Oklahoma and Tennessee with their father, Ivan Leon Followill, a United Pentecostal Church preacher. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "While Ivan preached at churches and tent revivals throughout Oklahoma and the Deep South, the boys attended services and were occasionally enlisted to bang on some drums”. So our link is *S*x on Fire* by Kings of Leon.

@maggietkat
Well done Skye with Son of a Preacher man sung by Melissa Etheridge. I am going with a DOUBLE link! 2 of my favorite artists had reverend fathers, Fats Waller and Sam Cooke. So, here is Cooke singing the Waller composition, Ain't Misbehavin.

@diamondbertie
Clever @skye613 won with Son of a Preacher Man sung by Melissa Etheridge, knew that as sung by Dusty Springfield, this great song with its inference of purveyors of religion made me think of Sammy Davis Jr. Singing Rhythm of Life from the musical Sweet Charity.

@sonikebt
@skye613 's winning song last week was Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man". Dusty collaborated with the Pet Shop Boys on a few songs including "What have I done to deserve this" which was co-written by Allee Willis. Allee also co-wrote our choice this week which is the theme music from one of the biggest TV shows of the 90's ...... Friends - "I'll be there for you" by The Rembrandts,

@djladylexie
Son of a preacher man .... a great female artist connecting music and religion into a great great song! I am choosin another great female who also connected music and religion - Annie Lennox. I gives you Eurythmics and Missionary Man.

An da winner as chosened by Megan dus be ................................. me! pffttt wiv Missionary Man from Eurythmics. Me dad choosins next week.

Ere wot Skye said: Oh my goodness! What great links this week. All wonderful tunes and well thought out links. Was very tempted by links 4 & 5, but linky 7 is the winnet. Can't go wrong with the Missionary Man! 

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 4th September 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 Eighty Ninth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 289 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Terence wiph Bangers an Mash from Sellers and Loren. Let's see what we gots this week:

@skye613
Wow! Terence is on a roll! Well done pal. So this week we have movie stars singing. Hmmm , well the last 2 words of the song are Mamma Mia. Not hard to figure out where to go. Mamma Mia is a stage show and film based on the songs of ABBA. In the film movie stars also sang the tunes but my link is the original.  All paws on the floor and let's boogie!

@diamondbertie
In the spirit of humour I submit Peggy Seeger with the Housewife's Alphabet, it funny in an ironic sort of way.

@claptonterrier
Last week our winning song was “bangers & Mash” so we have been thinking about food all week…as we terriers do…there are of course many songs about food….we found songs about Dixie Chickens, Flaming Pies, Green Onions, Milkshakes, Peaches and all the rest…but we really know that when push comes to shove everyone enjoys a nice sweet…and so our link this week is “Candy Everybody Wants” by 10,000 Maniacs...

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Terence won wiv the fab Bangers and Mash. Bangers are also a name for fireworks and although I don't like the noisy ones I do like this song by Katy Perry! It also be good Olympic anthem Go Team GB !

@maggietkat
Well done Terence with Bangers and Mash. I thought that I would use the food as my link. My choice are 2 other foods that go together, "Eggs and Sausage" by Tom Waits.

@sonikebt
@TerenceTerrier is one a roll winning with "Bangers and Mash" with Peter Sellars and Sophia Loren. What would go well with some bangers and mash? Perhaps some Salt n Pepa? Salt n Pepa's best know song is "Push It" which was written by Hurby Azor. Hurby is also credited on our choice this week because of the references the band made to the song. Our link this week is "Push it" by Garbage

@djladylexie
Well done Tel. Now let's see. Bangers an Mash from Sellers and Loren. Bangers, as we all know very well, dus be sausages. Dogs love sausages, FACT. Sausages is one of the many ingredients in a full english breakfast wot english people like to eat. English people especially like to eat this breakfast when they is on holiday, even more when they is on holibobs in the Costa Del Sol wot we calls Spain. So, ere be me omage to the english fry up an holibobs in Spain - Y Viva Espana. Wot is strangely a Belgian song which later was sung by a Swede. Now that's a European Union for ya.

An da winner as chosened by Terence dus be ................................. @cloonfourmegan wiv Katy Perry an Firework! Well done Megan - you dus be choosin next week.

Ere wot Terence said: It woz difficult to decide dis week wiv some clever well thought out linkies n gud songs. But in da end I gives an extra point for being topical wiv da Olympics n choose linky 4 – Katy Perry “Firework”

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!

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Bertie won wiv Peter Sarstedt where do you go to my lovely? Mr Sarstedt also had a top ten hit with Frozen Orange Juice so we skip a couple of decades and choose the group Orange Juice with Rip it Up

@skye613
Well done Bertie! The Ivors are presented annually by the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. In 1970 " Where Do You Go To ( My Lovely ) " won the best song musically and lyrically. Among the other winners that year were Barry Mason, John Lennon & David Bowie. Bowie won a special award for originality with this great song!

@sonikebt
@diamondbertie won the chain with "Where do you go to my lovely" by Peter Sarstedt. This song was said to be DJ John Peel's least favourite song so we have chosen his favourite song as our link this week, "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones

@djladylexie

Last week Lexie won wiv the puppy song. Well there only one song to respond to that Puppy Love by Mum's husband Donny  (ok that bit didn't happen). Someone help mum help her please !

Hello Miss Lexie…last week you chose a song by Nilsson …..we recently hear him compared to Randy Newman….such singular talents that they seem to have no predecessors and no successors….so this week our link is “Short People” by Randy Newman….*stands on platform boots*

@diamondbertie
ell done for winning last chain, I want to keep the doggy theme, giving my entry is a VERY old one, Pattie Page singing How Much Is That Doggy In The Window. Not sure what I feel about the song, selling any living animal in a shop with as little thought as selling a tee shirt is abhorrent.

@sonikebt

There were lots of lovely puppy dogs in the video for last week's winning link but no border terriers. So we are making up for that this week with a song dedicated to us borders - "Border Song" by Elton John

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Seventy Fourth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 274of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Sonic wiv Daft Punk and Derezzed. Let's see wot we gots dis week:

@wotterface
Last week's winner was Sonic with Daft Punk's Derezzed. In the video the Daft Punk men play on an arcade game and it immediately bought this track to mind, talking about mid 90's computer gaming. It's DJ Yoda featuring Scroobius Pip with Sega RIP.

@maggietkat
Well done Sonic with Derezzed from Tron:Legacy.  Olivia Wild was one of the stars in the movie and she was Remy "Thirteen" Hadley on "House". soundtracks on House were amazing, so I decided to pick one of the tunes, Taj Mahal playing "Honky Tonk Women".

@skye613
Sonic won with Daft Punk last week and they always make me think of Kraftwerk. Why I hear you ask? No idea they just do! Daft Punk was formed by 2 frenchmen who met in school. Kraftwerk was formed by 2 Germans who met in school! And I love this live (????) version. BOL

@claptonterrier
Hello Miss Lexie…last week Mr Sonic won with a song called Derezzed….we have absolutely no idea what that word means….so this week our link is to another nonsense word song..Bang a Boomerang by Abba.

@terenceterrier
Larst week our little pals Sonic n Spike winned wiv “Derezzed” by Daft Punk. I fink most punks were daft wiv their safety pins n fings n daft hairdos. Da only punk I remembas be Johnny Rotten although now cos he be getting on a bit he reverts to real name John Lydon. He took part in series 3 of “I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here” wot woz winned by Kerry McFadden who woz a singer in Atomic Kitten. Since derezzed means summat being destroyed I fort I pick an AK track wot be abowt summat being there forever n I gives yoo “Eternal Flame” as my linky.

@diamondbertie
Last week @sonikbt won with Daft Punks Derezzed, an very atmospheric choice, I listened to it many times as I did not know it, it has a SiFi feel about it, each time my mind swings to Zager and Evans'  In The Year 2525 The predictions are depressing and humanity seems to be rushing headlong towards it.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Sonik won wiv Daft Punk. This is the daftest Punk song we noes and we luffs it!

@djladylexie
Daft Punk's last album was Random Access Memories. I am going to randomly access my memory (do you see what I did there) and access something daft (again, with the seeing what I did there). Well, one very famous but not always well know guest appearance on their album is Paul Williams who sings Touch. So my linky does be Rainbow Connection written by Paul and sung by Kermit the Frog, which is silly, because we all know that frogs can't sing, right? Well, actually they CAN.

An da winner as chosened by Sonic dus be ................................. @wotterface witv DJ Yoda featuring Scroobius Pip with Sega RIP ..... oooooo ..... again! Well done me pal is your turn next week!

Ere wot Sonic said: Thanks for the links.  Here goes my attempt at chosin! There was an eclectic mix of links this week from the very clever Link 8 with a singing frog, the brilliant Kraftwerk in Link 3 and the draft punk in Link 7. However there could only be one winning link this week, Link 1 by DJ Yoda, because it features me - Sonic!

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 8th May 2016 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee. So good idea to type DO NOT DELETE in the title and dussnt forget to send a linky to da video from You Tube!

Lexie's Chain: The Two Hundred and Seventy Third Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 273 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Wyn wiv Kenny Rogers and the First Edition singin Just Dropped In.

@maggietkat
Well done Wyn with Kenny Rogers and "what condition my condition is in". As with any group, there is turnover in personnel with subsequent tryouts. One of the rejects was Karen Carpenter. Karen referred to herself as a drummer who sang. One drummer who praised Karen's playing was Hal Blaine who has played with artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to the 5th Dimension. Blaine was a session musician for a number of Carpenter songs. This one reached #1 on the charts, (They long to be) close to you.

@skye613
I'm afraid my condition is not good this week nor is the world's with the passing of Prince. My link this week is " I wish u Heaven." The world's condition became a bit quieter, a great deal sadder. RIP Prince.

@terenceterrier
Larst week Wynn winned wiv “Just Dropped in” by Kenny Rogers. I fink dat peeps wot just dropped in might use parachutes. Pearl Jam have a songy called “Parachutes” so I gonna use dat as my linky.

@diamondbertie
@wotterface won last week with just dropped in by Kenny Rogers from The Big Lebowski. This movie was produced by the Coen Brothers who also produced the movie Fargo and the two TV series of the same name. These are darkly funny which will appeal to those with a mordant sense of humour yet the main theme music is positively dreamy, at odds with the stories, that is my choice.

@cloonfourmegan
Well what a week this has been for losing some great people. This song sums up what we think of 2016!

@djladylexie
A song about being at the bottom of a bottle I suppose. You could say he was four sheets to the wind. Here's me linky Tom Waits wiv Tom Traubert's Blues (four sheets to the wind in copenhagen).

@sonikebt
@WOtterface won the chain last week with a song from the Big Lebowski which starred Jeff Bridges. Jeff also starred in the Tron films and our link this week is from Tron: Legacy - "Derezzed" by Daft Punk.

An da winner as chosened by Wyn dus be ................................. @sonikebt wiv Daft Punk an Derezzed!Yay! Well done me pal is your turn next week!

Ere wot Wyn said: It was a difficult choice this week and as much as I wanted to go with a Prince or Victoria Wood song, I couldn't choose between the two. So I went for a bit of synth pop instead with Link 6. 

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 1st May 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 Sixty Ninth Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 269 of #lexieschain. Before we gets to the chainy I want to just have a moment for our dearest pal @bunnersandharvs Harvey who went OTRB this weekend. We will miss you ma pal and fanks for all the fun linkies you has played over the years. *bows head*.

Last week the winner was Bertie wiv Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep from Middle of the Road. Let's see wots we got this week.

@pepperandspot

Last week @dismondbertie played a blinder with that great dong "chirpy chirpy cheep cheep. By Middle of the road . well we are on the road in our holibobs waghon and this brings us to thinking of good road songs .so Custard chose this link (I felt I should as I gave him a black eye. ) the Eagle's album 'long road out of Eden. The track is the same name.

@maggietkat

Well done bErtie with Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. When I think of birdies, I think of marauding kitties. So, my tune of the week is Natalie Merchant in Timbuk 3 performing Facts about Cats (cats eat birds). 

http://youtu.be/aFT-TQfCrGU

@tereneterrier

Last week Uncle Bertie broke his duck ( note bird link !) by winning #lexieschain with “Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep” by Middle Of The Road. I have thought of another corn – y (another bird link !) track to use as my entry.  Since Birdies sing chirpy chirpy cheep cheep I give you “The Birdie Song” . It has been performed by many people but since this competition is on Twitter I give you the version by The Tweets.

@cloonfourmegan

Last week Diamond Bertie won wiv earworm song Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. That was sung by Glasgow band Middle of the Road. Another Glasgow band of the seventies whose songs get stuck in your head were the Bay City Rollers and last night I heard my mama singing this song.

@wotterface

Last week's winner was @diamondbertie with the earworm by Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. There was an episode of the comedy series Father Ted called Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep about a prize winning sheep who couldn't stop burping which I always think of when I hear this song. So, my choice for today's chain is the theme tune for Father Ted. Songs of Love by the Divine Comedy. What better for Easter Sunday than the theme tune to a sitcom about priests?!

@claptonterrier

Last week Bertie chose a song by the band Middle of the Road…of course, pop history is littered with songs about the road and its many twists and turns….one of our very favourite of these refers to a famous avenue in New Jersey…..10th Avenue Freeze Out by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band…

@sonikebt

Well done @diamondbertie for winning the chain last week with "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by Middle of the Road. One of the original members of the band, Ken Andrew, comes from a small Scottish town called Bearsden. He is not the only famous "rockstar" who lived in the town. Mark Knopfler went to the local primary school (as did Darius but we're going to ignore that). We all know that Knopfler was a member of Dire Straits but he has also composed film soundtracks. Our link this 

week is the theme from a film by the wonderful Bill Forsyth and for our "Local Hero" - Mark 

Knopfler. 

@skye613

Always learning from the Lexieschainy. Congrats Bertie ! May be taking the easy way out this week but I couldn't get the Pretenders out of my mind when I saw the name of the band. Happy holiday pals! 

@djladylexie

Well done Bertie! Well now, did you know that Mac and Katie Kissoon also had a hit wiv dat song? Now then, did you further know that Katie Kissoon was a backing singer for many famous artists. Well, one such artist she performed wiv was old slowhand himself, yes that's right Eric Clapton. Katie sang with Eric on Wonderful Tonight so that me choice. Eric Clapton wiv Wonderful Tonight.

An da winner as choosed by Bertie dus be ..................  on flippin flip!  Is me again pfttttt. Errr .. me dad gonna decide again then. 

Ere wot Bertie said: It was a tough choice, so here goes. The Eagles - Long Road to Freedom a good link and atmospheric. The Birdie Song by the Tweets, such a fun song, best enjoyed with a happy crowd very slightly tipsy. Local Hero by Mark Knopfler, a lovely film haunting tune and a great link. My choice of winner is

Drum roll...............

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight. A talented artist and a great link.

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 3rd April 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 Sixty Eight Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 268 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was me wiv Annie Lennox an Little Bird. Let's see wots we got this week.

@pepperandspot
Last week dear Lexie was very clever with her fab link to that fab
lady Annie Lennox, little bird. That was from a fabulous album "Diva"which in 1992 mum played all the time, and is still a favourite. Annie, was a clever lady and was a member of an iconic band the eurythmics, so our link is back to the Eurythmics and their hit "Sweet
Dreams " with the same titled album.

@diamondbertie
Congratulations @claptonterrier, delighted with your choice, I have to keep the "bird" theme going, my choice is Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle of the Road, 1971. I know it's before your time , but it's foot tapping, smile making fun.

@claptonterrier

Hello Miss Lexie…last week our winning song was “Little Bird”…..I think that the wren is a very tiny bird…so this week my linky is “jenny Wren” by Paul McCartney….

@skye613

So Sir Clapton picked the DJ Lexie to win with " Little Bird" by Annie Lennox. That little bird has flown the coop but Bowie's little bird can"t. Oh my ! Dodo.

@cloonfourmegan

Last week Lexie won with Annie Lennox and Little Bird. Annie was once in a band called The Tourists who had a hit with this song but we pick the original Dusty version. Dad also do have this as ringtone when Mum ring him! Aaaaah romantic!

@wotterface

Last week the winner was you with Annie Lennox and Little Birds. In the video she had lots of other people pretending to be her so the song we've chosen this week is Dani California by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers because in the video they dress up as lots of other people, see if you know them all...

@terenceterrier

arst week pal Lexie winned wiv “Little Bird” by Annie Lennox.  Bantams be lickle birds of da poultry kind n dey lives in a chicken house at night to keep dem safe. Chicken Shack be a British blues band. So for my linky dis week I gives you their 1969 hit “I’d Rather Go Blind”.

 

@maggietkat

Well done Lexi on Annie Lennox with Little Bird. I became aware of Annie as The Eurythmics in the early Mtv era. Their song, Sweet dReams (are made of this) was released in 1983. The Kajagoogoo album White Feather was also released in 1983 and contained the one hit wonder Too Shy. So my chain is Little Bird-Annie Lennox- Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams-1983-Kajagoogoo-white feather (birds. Get it. Ha!)-Too Shy.

@bunnersandharvs

So we gots us a linky from Lexie's fabydoo of a linky last week frum Annie Lennox's songy  Little Bird and how she wishes she could fly and be released cos she so sad and feels burdened. So, dat makes us think about da songy by The Band 'I Shall Be Released' cos even tho some people is sad and feels burdens and has hardships, our day will come and we will be set free. 

@sonikebt

@Dogstoyevsky won last week with Annie Lennox & "Little Bird". Annie Lennox studied flute at the Royal Academy of Music & was a flautist with the Dragon's Playground early in her career. Now our Auntie is also a flautist & has played in lots of films, musicals and orchestras. However, we have just found out that she also played on the album "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" by Belle and Sebastian. So our link this week is from that album - "Wrapped Up in Books".

An da winner as choosed by me dad dus be ..................  ! 

Ere wot me dad said: I have no choice but to go cheesy, gotta love a bit of cheese right? So Chirpy Chirpy it is! Link 2 is my selection.
