Twisted Sister..sounds like ???

[Dr.Dave]

We're not gonna take it. The first two lines of the verse , what does that melody remind me of ??? Keen to have a crack at this song but I do like to nick bits of other songs and wedge them in for a laugh. I know the ' Wo wo wo etc ' bit in the middle is 'God Save the Queen' by the Pistols so I'll stick a bit of that in but it's not being able to identify the verse that's frustrating me. Terrible thing , this middle age sh*t.

O Come All Ye Faithful?

[Dr.Dave]

Ha! my wife said that when I whistled it to her. No - def. not that I'm thinking of.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

They did a Christmas DVD with that on it .

Probably not what you're thinking of Dave but you could probably work a bit of Alice Cooper's 'Elected' in with a bit of brute force and ignorance.

Were you listening to this on Dr Mosh on Simo Mayo's Radio 2 show tonight?

Summer Holiday, Cliff Richard?

[BOD2]

Well it's a dead ringer for the melody from an old Camel instrumental track.... but you don't strike me as a prog-rock fan so I suspect it's not that !#

Is it something by Slade?

[Skybone]

I'm still convinced that Lady GaGa is Dee Snyder's love child...

[Dr.Dave]

I'm about 80% sure it must be the Honeycombs so thanks to those of you who said that. something else buzzing ( ) around in my head though tells me it's not.

I was.

And Dee Snider is that bird from Sex In The City, Carrie. The fact that you never see the pair of them together lends further credence to this theory.

Errm well the Chorus and the guitar solo for a start still at least it had 100% more Chords than "I am, I'm me" - nice chaps when I met them though
