I love BEER, SCOTCH and BOURBON.

[grumpyhack]

And the Glastonbury drink for many CIDER

I think the person recording this bit of Scrumpy and Western had probably had a couple

 

[carlosj]

I'll take the link to ARAB or ARABIC. Alcohol is derived from an Arabic word.

Until tonight, I thought the writer of this song did it in a reggae style. I didn't realise it was another Neil Diamond tune.

[grumpyhack]

Sheikh or SHAKE

This is 1954, before most here were born.

 

[oneeye]

FEATHER 

bloody love this film!

 

[grumpyhack]

As LIGHT as a feather.

Probably my favourite film too oneeye, so a second helping.

 

[oneeye]

BLiNDED 

 

[grumpyhack]

RATHER

We share a lot in our musical taste Oneeye.  So many people have done this song but Etta (another of Grumpy's Gonners) probably still did one of the best versions.

 

[trevethin]

Father

Just because I like this song. Makes me think of lazy evenings long ago

 

[grumpyhack]

Old Father THYME

Simon and Garfunkel when they were still talking to each other and giving great shows.

 

[trevethin]

Wild.

More precisely Wild Mountain Thyme.  I like folk songs

 

[grumpyhack]

I enjoy a good bit of folk Trevethin.  Just had an evening seeing Devon's finest - Show of Hands with my daughter.

But I also enjoy a good bit of rock.  So let's have Joe with his voicebox and Rocky MOUNTAIN Way.

 

[oneeye]

Kilimanjaro gets a mention in AFRICA 

 

[trevethin]

It's very HOT in Africa.  I remember Hot Stuff being on the radio seemingly endlessly years ago.

 

[carlosj]

Wasn't there some daft litigation about how hot some COFFEE was? Poor quality video, but the chance to check out a French translation of Tom's jazz style.

[grumpyhack]

If the coffee is too hot add some CREAM

 

[carlosj]

Another COLOUR, the purple one.

[trevethin]

And another.  RED.

I like red wine, particularly Rioja

 

[grumpyhack]

Colours can get very mixed up. A lot of people don't realise that the 'reggae' song Red, Red Wine was actually written by that very WHITE boy Neil Diamond.

This song was also released in an edited version omitting the words 'White Boy' to keep some sensitive souls happy.

[oneeye]

LINES 

 

[grumpyhack]

Another Grumpy Gonner who decided to WALK the Line.

 

[trevethin]

I never saw Johnny Cash ...

Anyway, BY.  As in Walk on BY - a diva song to sing along with when it comes on the radio on a long journey

 

[grumpyhack]

Linking back to LINE.

Thinking of my days as a hack when you had a By Line.

 

[carlosj]

Obviously present company excepted, but some journalists and politicians are economical with the TRUTH.

[trevethin]

LIES.  The lamb lies down on Broadway.  God I'm old ... 

Anyway, I years ago I shared a house wuth someone who used to play Genesis endlessly.  Nice thing is we're still in touch even though he emigrated 30 odd years ago
