ROTFL!  our first nominee for best play on words in 2009!

Copped from the Kirsty MacColl album title, no doubt? Tink's got a way with words, but can't give him 100% credit for that one.

Hey Gaz, speaking of big TANC's, did you notice Alicat's avatar?

(Adrian in particular liked the gift, by the way).
explanation requested  :)


I got Mark the first season of "Love, American Style" for Christmas.  Ali, I should have gotten you a copy too!
Is it avail on DVD? I must not have looked lately. Last time I did, I never found it. Totally cheezy. Mark, aren't the boys a tad young for LAS?

"How Long" may be a Katrina, but it's one I never tire of.

I always associate this song with Player's "Baby Come Back" since they came out around the same time

I have always made the same connection as well.  Anyone else?

Both self-pitying pub rock, so the connection's certainly there.  But Player wasn't a OHW - they made #10 with their forgotten follow-up, "This Time I'm in It for Love."

#10 JINX!

I always associate "Baby Come Back" with the H&O song it rips off.

well I may have to rescind the nomination, but not the ROTFL, as that was NTM.

"Golden Years" is a great song, but it's actually my least favorite from Station to Station - which should tell you how much I adore that album.

I wish I could take credit for that, but Gaz turned me onto that particular phrase last month when we were doing our Amoeba bargain bin browsing.  

He pointed out this album as one of the best titles evah:



I should've footnoted my quip.

It debuted in primetime in 1969, so it's definitely PG.  The second vignette in Ep 1 featured Flip Wilson as a pool hustler who gets hustled.

And I want to say the Player song came out at least two years later--I associate it with my second semester in college, which would make it late 77 or early 78. Alas, my copy of Whitburn is still in a box somewhere.

I'm gonna have to get that then, as GY is just about my favorite Bowie tune.

I was 5 when "Baby Come Back" came out.  My father, a hardcore alkie, used to take me along to one of his favorite bars, a place called the Thunderbird.  He'd order me Shirley Temples and give me coins to play the games there (I remember they had one of those sawdust-covered shuffleboard games shaped like a pinball machine), and the two songs I'd hear there without fail were "Baby Come Back" and "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue."
