I bought an LP in Sweden, "Fritt Fram" by Lill Lindfors (a Finnish woman living in Sweden but you would never know she wasn't Swedish), now a UN ambassador.

The LP had several surprises on it, none of which will get posted here as try as I might I have always been unable to find any on YouTube.

Aria was one of them and it was years before I discovered it was one of Acker Bilk's. Bought that album too.
Still have and play both LPs occasionally.

Try this Steve, I believe its Lill Lindfors singing "If I only had Time" in Swedish I presume.

When Youtube fails try Daily Motion no embedding just a link...found the entire film "Un Homme et Une Femme" there with its excellent soundtrack.

Could the Impala be the Chevrolet Impala, which did have considerable wings

When I read "we built this thing & it grew wngs" I immediately thought of the "Airmobile" in the late Chuck Berry's "You cain't catch me!

NOW the 1959 Impala - that had wings!

She has been quite prolific.

One from the "Anything you fancy" stable......heard this on the radio this morning

[NewcastleFalcon]

..and this little gem kicked off the Liza Tarbuck programme



and she followed it up with Julie London-An occasional man.

Never heard of her before and not one of her sultriest numbers but excellent nontheless.



There has been a BBC Four Documentary on her...."The Lady's Not a Vamp" worth watching, I'll put it on the On TV thread.

You can think of another!

PS and the car company (spelt incorrectly in the above vid) selected for a mention for the 50's section....

Studebaker!

Caught onto a song on the radio part of the way through, and it got me interested.

Some very strong guitar work, and a bluesy rhythm with a modern feel. Now the Arctic Monkeys may have been an outside guess. They create a storming rhythm to some of their tracks, but this was a bit different, but the vocalist wasn't quite right. As the track progressed I enjoyed it more and more and the guitar was absolute class.

So what was it. It was "The Land of Plenty" a new recording by.....

One of my all time favourites.......Robin Trower...he's been over in the US.



See if I can find it...Not sure if he would be all that flattered to think that one of his old fans thought his new track may have been the Arctic Monkeys In my defence you never hear Robin Trower on the radio! normally.

but pronounced correctly.

Never realised 'til I saw the lyrics but, imagine Springsteen sings Dylan.

Oh, & spot the oblique reference to that man Commander Cody - again?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Well proper Tintin titles have appeared in songs it seems

Destination Moon is a standard covered by many of the "greats"

Heres Nat King Cole



and Dinah Washington

Just discovered, that the Lyrics of the "Flower Duet" include "les lotus blues" the flower, not the car, or indeed the Tintin book!

Allons cueillir les lotus bleus- let us gather the blue lotus!

Absolutely stunning singing but you can't make out a single word they are singing!

Steve put this up first, I came across it on autoplay the other day, and it's here as an example of a song with a Tintin title in the lyrics! No apologies its absolutely gorgeous.
