BOS2 Ginger's Cheeze Medley -- I'd LOOOOVE to hear Mouth & MacNeil.

VHM "Rock Me on the Water".  Ms Ronstadt did a nice cover of this one early in her career.

Goiod cheeze! Good JB

BOS2 Ginger's Cheeze Medley -- I'd LOOOOVE to hear Mouth & MacNeil.

Me too.  Minor let down when Helen Reddy came on after only 5 seconds.

[RGMike]

hey that's not only a great bit of music history/trivia about T-Rex, but that gives me 2/3 of a great M3S:

T-Rex - "Bang A Gong (Get It On)"
Icicle Works - "Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)"

if the connection is that the parenthetical words are the title of another song, then add

Sheena Easton - ""Morning Train (9 to 5)".

Hey that's good, but not what I was thinking.

I was thinking parenthetical titles that were switched/reversed upon release in the US.

actually that WAS the case with the Easton -- it was called "9 to 5" in the UK, but they didn't want it confused with the Dolly Parton tune over here.

Well there you go.  But for your first answer to work we need to know, is there a song by another artist called "Whisper To a Scream"?

[mshray]

BOS WAR!  "Slipping Into Darkness".

Good thing I'm here, 'cause y'all would definitely have had to proxy for me otherwise.

It seems to me this song was a rather deliberate attempt to do something like "Papa Was a Rolling Stone", but War really carries it off & establishes their own sound.

Well, there's the one that Elvis Costello wrote with Glenn Tilbrook called "From a Whisper to a Scream." It's on Trust.

Another BOS to Randy Newman "Sail Away".

you just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day...

Another BOS to Randy Newman "Sail Away".

Climb abord, little wog.  BOS me too.  A brilliant f---ing album, as were most of his early '70s LPs. (12 Songs... Good Old Boys...).

And another BOS to Rod the Mod Bod, "Twistin the Night Away"

There's a fella in blue jeans... dancing with an older queen!

[Alicat]

Damn fine set.
Your turn Dave.......

Elvis Costello, no?

From a whisper to a JINX!!

Just remembered, Allen Toussaint also wrote a song with that title.

T-Rex - "Bang A Gong (Get It On)"
Icicle Works - "Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)"

I missed the set, so I don't know exactly what Ginger had to say, but last month's Blender magazine told the story (which I didn't know) that the title became "Bang a Gong" so it wouldn't be confused with Dave's brass-set fave, Chase's "Get It On."

Same motivation was at play when the Spinners issued the ungrammatical "They Just Can't Stop It The (Games People Play)."

That was exactly the story she told (she even played a short snippet of Chase).
