Thanks to Marianne's little nudge today - I decided to take the Friday Four out of mothballs and see if anyone is interested in trying to link these four songs. The rules are fairly easy, but just in case you don't know them - the first song here is linked in some way to the last one from last time. The second song is linked to the first, the third is linked to the second and finally the fourth has some link to the third. It's a chain... we nicked it off Radcliffe & Maconie.
So the last one was almost a year ago... you can find it here. But to be clear, the last song last time was Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah. You need to find a link between that song and this one...
Song One:
Next up - can you find a link between Song One and this one...
Song Two:
You've got the hang off it now. Can you link that song with the next one?
Song Three:
...and finally. What links Kirsty or her song with the final song...
Song Four:
Enjoy....
Funny, I was wondering the other day whether anyone remembered this. I thought it might be you that mentioned it. I didn't expect Marianne to be involved though! Nearly missed this too!! Lots of words to hide the fact that I haven't any idea at the moment. Something to look at when I'm not supposed to be doing something else. Or maybe something to look at when I am supposed to be doing something else and that something else is boring . . .
ReplyDeleteFunny how our different musical tastes affect things. I was worried that I'd made this too easy. I know Andy Jam would get this in a flash. You might need Google for the first two links Neil, but links 3 & 4 shouldn't take too much thinking.
ReplyDeleteThere are no cryptic crossword type links this time. All just straight forward.
OK, just got back this evening. And I confess a bit of Googling was necessary. As no one else seems to have responded and it it's 10 days since you posted this and I can't see any way to send you a PM, here's what I hope are the answers . . .
ReplyDeleteRufus wainright's Mum is
Kate McGarrigle
who's song (with Anna) 'Heart Like a Wheel' was covered by
Billy Bragg on his mini album
'You Woke up my Neighbourhood' and he wrote
'New England' by
kirsty maccoll who had a hit with 'Days' a cover of the song by
The Kinks
if that's correct, please do another while I am away again (if you can be bothered that is). I may not know it all, but the finding out is fascinating.
Perfect Neil. And thank you for taking the time to revisit. I'll start work on a Good Friday Four, and also look into how to promote my blog to get you some challengers!
