This is what you get when you go out surfing the stranger corners of the Interwebs without adequate protection. I caught a meme from marchwarden23!

Er..yes, that was the general idea. although jumping up and down is good too.

9 Mine was actually the original by Slade, but anything in the general neighbourhood counts as far as this meme goes

14 I had Peter, Paul & Mary, but OK.

22 Yes! Someone else into Finnish Opera/Heavy Metal crossover! (it is, in fact, "Dark Chest of Wonders", the whole album is called "Once"... blah blah anorak anorak..."

camile_sinensis March 5 2011, 16:28:45 UTC

No - looks cool though, heh :0)

I do remember Follyfoot, Catweazel, Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People. I did prefer the later Flambards to Follyfoot and Black Beauty because it also featured bi-planes lol

snippetygiblets March 5 2011, 10:05:52 UTC

1 - Dolly Parton (?) - From a Distance
21 The Stones - Ruby Tuesday
24 - Peter Sarstead - Where Do You Go To My Lovely
27 - Cranberries - Zombie

camile_sinensis March 5 2011, 16:29:55 UTC

1 Nanci Griffiths, but who's counting?
21 Melanie, but close enough
24 Aha! Another cheese-fest from the past!
27 Indeed!

snippetygiblets March 5 2011, 16:47:44 UTC

Ah Nanci - I love her - especially the "Trouble in the Fields" song which has me blubbering every time. And Melanie too - I like "take you an apple and take you a song, watch the baby day get born !" lol

sildil March 5 2011, 11:16:03 UTC

19. Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull (and I claim victory on that one over marchwarden 'cos I knew the title)

and 31....personally, I was never into 'Follyfoot', but sis in law was!

camile_sinensis March 5 2011, 16:30:52 UTC

19 Absolutely! Punch the air and do a lap of honour!¬

31 Oh horsey tv, I miss you so much....
