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.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Sir Slowhand Clapton won with Faithless and God is a DJ. Well if he is then it's no wonder Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.

@maggietkat
Well done Terence channeling Tucker! I got thinking about the song title All Right Now and thought and thought. Then lightning struck! There is an old jazzy standard "Alright. Okay. You win."  Many artists have covered the sing, but this one is by Peggy Lee.

@skye613
Another great win, Terence! Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser wrote " All Right Now ". Paul also wrote " Radioactive ". While many are familiar with the tune by the same name from Imagine Dragons , this came out in 1985. This video is not a very good quality but check it out! Love The Firm.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week clever Tel won again with Free and Alright Now. We Lubs running free so we does pick the song with the same name by Iron Maiden *bangs head*.

@wotterface

@sonikebt
Well done Sir Tel with last week's winning link "All Right Now" by Free. This song is about a guy picking up a girl for ... well ... *slightly embarrassed ears* you Only one song came to mind as our link this week."Creep" by Radiohead.

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.

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.

Lexie's Chain: The Three Hundred and First Chain

Hello pals. Welcome to week 301  of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Tel with T-Rex and Children of the Revolution.

@diamondbertie
The Children of the Revolution chosen by Terence had me in a real fix, then I thought of the composer Shostakovich a real child of the Russian revolution who composed The Gadfly Suite, the piece Romance is my choice the book and film Reilly Ace of Spies was a real spy who got involved and was murdered during the revolution.

@claptonterrier
last week Sir Terence won with a song by T-Rex….which of course is a dinosaur…so this week our link keeps the lizard theme going and we have picked “Money” by the Flying Lizards….(although I think someone a little more well known wrote the song…).

@wotterface
Last week's chain winner was T with T.Rex's Children of the Revolution. The 1990's indie band The Wannadies covered this song as Ann side for one of their singles so my pick this week is another of their songs, probably their most famous. You and Me Song.

@cloonfourmegan
Last week Terence won with Children of the Revolution by T Rex. Gloria Jones sang with T Rex but before that she sang Tainted Love which was very popular in Northern Soul clubs and then covered by Marc Almond in Soft Cell creating a great 80s synth pop hit. So here it is.

@maggietkat
Well done Terence. Children of the revolution was the anthem of me college years. The Who were anthem bearers for secondary years.  Here is the grown up version of Kids are Alright.

@sonikebt
Well done Tel winning with T. rex and "Children of the Revolution". Now this did get us thinking about other bands that are named after extinct species and found this great song by The Dodos - "Fools"

@djladylexie
Well done Ter wiv children of the revolution. Marc Bolan tragtically died in a car accident. The driver was Gloria Jones, his girlfriend at the time. She met Bolan while performing in the musical Hair which is not about hair at all. So I choosin a song from the musical - Aquarius!

 An da winner wot was decided by Tel .............. was .....................................Maggie! Yay! Well done me pal. You dus choose next week.

Ere wot Tel said: Wowser wot a lotta cleva linkies - some of da songies I noes well n some new to me. It woz a close call between 5 n 7. But Roger Daltrey woz Mum's teenage idol n "The Kids Are Alright" one of her all time favrits so if  I dussnt want my treets wivheld I haz to go wiv Linky 5.
