A clue - an 'art-punk' band had a hit with a crap cover of it about
three or four years ago....

| 363.11 | oooh, umm, a guess | LEROUF::MERRICK | Every silver lining has a cloud | Fri Mar 10 1989 13:41 | 5 |

song on No Parlez that I can't remember.

| Getting closer, but still no, I'm afraid
Another clue - collectively, this artist and his backing band had
the p*ss taken out of them comprehensively on the B-side of a single
by the Strawbs!
C'mon, you'll kick yourself!
Bob
|
| 363.13 | Jamming good with Weird and Gilly.... | AYOV28::DROBB | When all my dime dancing is thru... | Fri Mar 10 1989 16:05 | 7 |
| OK Bob, you just gave the game away - it's the title track off Bowie's
*classic*, and I mean *all-time* number one, ZIGGY STARDUST album.
The Strawbs p*sstake was CIGGY BARLUST AND THE WHALES FROM VENUS,
the flip of their LAY DOWN hit.
(anyone out there in possession of ZIGGY on CD?)
|
| 363.14 | We have our first winnah!!! | WELMTS::GREENB | burning with optimism's flames | Fri Mar 10 1989 16:47 | 8 |
| I thought you might get it eventually, Dougie!! It was that Strawbs
clue....
BTW, do you agree that Bauhaus' cover was extremely naff?
Take it away, if you want to
Bob
|
| 363.15 | TAKE IT AWAY FREDDIE | SUBURB::GLOVERP | | Tue Mar 14 1989 12:52 | 5 |
| i think some people should get up get out and damm well buy queens
"day at the races" and listen to the longest oooooaaaahhhhh
at the start of "YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY" GOD,DOES IT GO ON!!!!!
|
| 363.16 | Covers like these shouldn't be allowed!!! | AYOV28::DROBB | Pour me a Cuban Breeze, Gretschen | Tue Mar 14 1989 12:57 | 7 |
| Re. 14, yes Bob, I most certainly do consider Bauhaus' version of
ZIGGY STARDUST to be, as you put it, 'naff'. In fact, I think it's
downright awful, and merely bearable for the fact that I have an
even more excrutiating demolition job by Nina Hagen. Disgraceful!
Anyway, I've drawn a blank on 'oh oh oh oh's for the moment, so
I'll leave it open to the first person who can come up with one....
|
| 363.17 | I'll take it | WELMTS::GREENB | burning with optimism's flames | Tue Mar 14 1989 13:42 | 10 |

oooo-

Quite a big hit, two or three years old, British male group.

does the toilet flushing, so I could be well wrong!

| 363.22 | ha! ha! ha! | WELMTS::GREENB | burning with optimism's flames | Wed Mar 15 1989 09:51 | 9 |
| re all the last few - sorry, no, although the Communards reply made
me larf and larf!
Another clue? Some of the members of this group are related. They
have had, to date, I think, five hit singles, but have only released
one lp.
Bob
|
| 363.23 | Not playin' by the rules, guessin from the clues | IOSG::ROBERTS | Absolutely! .... and why not? | Wed Mar 15 1989 10:05 | 4 |
| ... hows about the Christians, then - Forgotten Town, Hooverville or
something equally wonderful (so wonderful I don't know the words...)
Came to mind, but didn't stay too long......
|
| 363.24 | Close enough! | WELMTS::GREENB | burning with optimism's flames | Wed Mar 15 1989 10:29 | 7 |
| Shall I be a stickler here........?
Nah!
You've got it, IOSG::ROBERTS - it is the Christians 'Forgotten Town'
Bob

| 363.25 | Vive le monochrome! | IOSG::ROBERTS | Absolutely! .... and why not? | Wed Mar 15 1989 10:49 | 8 |
| Okey dokey..... Released in early 60s, regurgitated in mid/late 70s,
unfortunately after the widespread introduction of colour TVs:

| "Long haired lover..." I'm embarrassed just reading that one. "Batman"?
Where I grew up we always thought it was "dunna dunna ...", and since
I'm a little touchy about my age I'm not prepared to admit that my
memory could be failing.....
So, Nope, Nope.

baby do you want me??
let me,
let me,
PAUL REVERVE & THE RAIDERS:LET ME.
A hit somewhere arround the summer of 1968.
D��� I got'it right????
Jan kwikkel"the music library 1969-19.."
|
| 363.30 | RE. | JGO::FVISSER | | Thu Mar 16 1989 10:44 | 5 |
| Or a dutch group called THE SHOES?
They had a single named na na na.
This was also arround 1968.
Jan Kwikkel "you know? 1969-19.. man"
|
| 363.31 | Repetitive band name.... | 45944::ROBERTS | Absolutely! .... and why not? | Thu Mar 16 1989 11:23 | 17 |
| Nay !!
It could be a bit misleading coz the guy that sings it was supposed to
sing "D'na na....." but he seems to have dropped his "D"! Anyways, not
an obscure band this, though many people would offer various organs to
make them so.... The band that took this gem into the UK top 5 in the
mid-late 1970s are still around (in UK), big clue.....
Rumour has it, the original band consisted of c.48 assorted
colours/people, but only 8 waddled harmlessly into stardom! Their
christmas shows in the Uk are almost as (in)famous as Lindisfarne's.
Oh yeah, and the title is quite sensible, not "Na na na"!
Help?

| From all those clues, Richard, could it be Showaddywaddy(waddywaddy...)
???????????????
Nick
|
| 363.33 | Yihaa, your intelligence melted my crepes! | 45944::ROBERTS | Absolutely! .... and why not? | Thu Mar 16 1989 11:42 | 10 |
| Well I knew I was giving it all away,
Yes it was Showadywady, or whatever the d**n name is.
Song - "I wonder why"
Was it originally done by Dion, with or withou his Belmonts? Who cares.
Over to you, then Nick!

| I have enough difficulty thinking of first lines of songs, let alone
first lines that are vocal improvisations...
I'll pass the buck to the next person willing to take on the
mantle of responsibility (he said, changing metaphors in mid stream).

Clue- 73ish from a group who had quite a few hits at the time.

Dave
|
| 363.47 | Hint No. 3 | XSTACY::PATTISON | Help m'boab. | Wed Apr 11 1990 13:28 | 3 |

Dave
|
| 363.48 | The Saint... | AYOU30::PAULC | Kirsty's dad | Wed Apr 11 1990 13:50 | 7 |
| Then it's got to be "Simon Templar" by Splodgeness Abounds. Right?
With the B-side being "Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps".
Er, but I can't think of another ooh-er so if I am right, someone
else can take it if they want to...
�Paul�

| 363.49 | Could this be Mr. Simon Templar? | XSTACY::PATTISON | Help m'boab. | Thu Apr 12 1990 11:25 | 1 |

hit about eight or ten years back.
