A Month Of... Name Dropping...

The last one for this month, and I'm leaving you with Rod Stewart and "Baby Jane"...

Love the shirt, Rod! Does your mum know you stole her blouse? She's really not going to be chuffed you ripped the buttons out, though!

Trying again to get that Wurzel's name in a song... but I can only offer her a sex change...

Paul Simon with "Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard"...

It still means the same though, but at least as a guy she could get off with being a down-bearded youth!

I know she should be happy with the song, though... being a Paul Simon fan...

Julio (Meaning)

Oh! Wait! I've got one! How could I possibly forget the mighty Shaky and "Oh, Julie"?

Today, a woman with more front than most... Dolly Parton (I can't hear that name without laughing because there's a guy I know who wants to open a fish shop here and call it "Dolly's Partons"... now, that won't make a lot of sense to non-Orcadians, but here we call certain crabs partons) and "Jolene"...

The return of The Man In Black, Johnny Cash, today... this time as part of country supergroup The Highwaymen, playing fellow-member Kris Kristofferson's song "Me & Bobby McGee"... originally sung in 1969 by Roger Miller, but most famously sung by Janis Joplin just days before her death in 1970...

The song I had originally planned for today ("Lola" by The Kinks) has been cast aside in favour of a song I heard on VH1 last night for the first time in ages...

Goo Goo Dolls and "Iris"...

Hey... I've done "Lola" before (oo-er, missus)... at least twice! And this song is arguably so much better... But if you're so keen to hear The Kinks, just type "Lola" into the search box thingy up at the top left, and you'll find my earlier posts.

Well, this one is a victim of bad timing... seeing as you've had a link to it posted just a couple of weeks ago... but I can't be bothered to go find another song with a girl's name in it, so you can have the video embedded this time...
