675.0. "Last-liners" by YUPPY::EVANSJ (twentysomething) Wed May 16 1990 14:44

    "That there never has been one"
     
    John.
    
    Maybe this will catch on. Not songs that fade out with
    the chorus. Ones that come to an abrupt end.

675.4Errrr ummmmSHAPES::WILLIAMSJ1Don't blame me.......Wed May 16 1990 15:081
    Is it "Shipbuilding??"  These are even worse than the first liners.
675.5I'll soon run out of ideasJOBBIE::PATTISONA rolling stone gets the wormWed May 16 1990 15:541
    It is Shipbuilding, by Robert Wyatt (or much better by Elvis Costello).

    OK - so it was a boring idea.

675.7We don't want anything _too_ hard do we? ;-)SHAPES::STREETRMonotony on the BountyThu May 17 1990 16:045
    I must admit, it's a bit trickier than '1st Liners'....
    
    ... how about a 'Middle Liners'... eg: "...the waiter brought a tray"

    A separate topic for middle-liners sounds like a good idea. Howsabout
    saying that you should post at least two whole lines? They actually run
    this as a competition on a local radio station here, and even though
    they only use singles which have charted in the past you'd be surprised
    how difficult it can be.

675.15I Liked My Idea Best...YUPPY::EVANSJtwentysomethingFri May 18 1990 11:193

    I'd forgotten about this one, had to think about what it was.  I'll
    put you out of your misery - Blue Savannah, Erasure
    
    I will not retire from this note, its too hard for me.
    
    
675.32TENERE::LADRETWed Jul 04 1990 14:339
.9 and others

Johnny Johnny is a Clash song from their first album, I forgot the title with
the time.

"I'm an air conditioned gipsy" is taken from "Going mobile" by the Who on
Who's next.

    re.9  The last liner.....could it be "Protex Blue" from the first
          Clash album ?
    
    
    	  Andy.
    
    
    
675.34Indeed it is.TENERE::LADRETGisement epuise (.neq.) mine de rienTue Oct 09 1990 17:058
To cut a long story short, Johnny Johnny is also the title of the 2nd LP of a 
punk/new-wave/whatever you call it french band Edith Nylon in 1980. It was a
non-disguised hommage to the Clash and Joe Strummer even went to play on this LP.
If I remeber well, the song Johnny Johnny started the way Protex Blue ended.

Quite promising, Edith Nylon has now faded away.
