Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections

That rhyme reminded me of, when I was 8 years old our school had a teacher who required us to learn a poem and then a few days later recite it to the class next door, she gave me the Song of Hiawatha.
I managed to stumble through it but it put me off poetry for a long time and public speaking forever. .

Some serious nostalgia there.

Oh flip, that's a shame. The first eight LPs were a great part of my early life.

RIP Graham

A question just cropped up which reminded me of this marmite performance:

[myglaren]

Known to my friends in Sweden as Il Grande Castrato.

Apparently worked with Vangelis early on.

[Paul-R]

Apparently worked with Vangelis early on.

In Destiny's Child if memory serves well.

Halfway there Paul. Destiny's Child was Beyoncés mob. Aphrodite's Child was Vangelis, Roussos, Sideras and Koulouris.

But that is enough of that!

Have some Françoise Hardy. She's French, looks and sounds better.





I remember this from TOTP or something like it.

[NewcastleFalcon]

Yes, not a bad turn, interesting enough to let her autoplay on Steve. Does a decent talky bit on this one



Regards Neil

[myglaren]

She has been on autoplay but has been edged out by Jane Birkin, another icon of the sixties - and I really must watch "Blow Up" again. She made quite an impression there.

[mickthemaverick]

From Neil's random chart selection on the first day thread I had to choose between Tom Jones and Manfredd Mann so I went for this because the song has more meaning:

[myglaren]

The thirteenth is once again upon us.
Not much for religion or traditions but this I like.

[Gibbo2286]

Nice headlight.

1959


Listen to my story. Got two tales to tell.

One of fallen glory. One of vanity.

The world's roof was raging, but we were looking fine;

'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings,

in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.

Wisdom was a teapot; Pouring from above.

Desolation angels

Served it up with Love.

Ignitin'[g strife] like every form of light,

then moved by bold design,

slid in that thing and it grew wings,

in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.



****************

It was Blood, shining in the Sun;

First: Freedom!

Speeding the american claim:

Freedom; Freedom; Freedom; Freedom!

******************


China was the tempest; [And] Madness overflowed.

[The] Lama was a young man,

and [he] watched his world in flames.

Taking Glory down by the edge of clouds;

It was a cryin'[g] shame.

Another lost horizon. Tibet the fallen star.

Wisdom and compassion Crushed, in the land of Shangri-La.

But in the land of the Impala, honey, well,

we were lookin' Fine,

'cause we built that thing and it grew wings;

In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.

'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings;

In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.


It was the best of times, it's [was] the worst of times;

In 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959; 1959.

It was the best of times; It was the worst of times.

[In] Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.

" 'cause we built that thing and it grew wings, in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine"
Always baffled me.
