Stub Mandrel Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Me I think! This will keep you for a bit (I hope...) The original song doesn't have an easily recognisable bassline... but this is what they played live. Sorry it's not to fluent, I had to relearn it! Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 OK, Stew's guess gets the genre right even if the Goodies are a pastiche. The bassline was as played on Top of the Pops by someone better known as a guitarist and linked with the Pink Fairies... Quote

Ricky 4000 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Is it that song on TOTP where John Peel is sitting on a stool playing the mandolin? In the 1970s? Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 GETTING COLD! Flowers in the Rain was very, very close! Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 @stewblack by a short nose from @wateroftyne This wonderful version with Trevor Burton on bass and (strangely) no Richard Tandy keyboards so sounding very different to the single. Burton was originally guitarist, but after Ace Kefford left he shared bass duties with Carl Wayne. All before Jeff Lynne joined. Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Well that's got us flummoxed. And going all myxamtosisialodian on us! Edited June 24, 2019 by Stub Mandrel Quote
Guest oZZma Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 I think the major flaw in this game is that players listen to entirely different genres, which makes really difficult to post a song that is really "popular" among all players! Quote

Its also the joy of the game we get to learn other stuff. And the clues are fun too, just look at @Stub Mandreland his blackberry whey clue. Awesome. 2 Quote
stewblack Posted June 25, 2019 Author Posted June 25, 2019 Ok no takers so clue time. Released in 1979 it reached number 2 in the UK charts. It was covered somewhat bizarrely by both Frank Skinner and Cannon and Ball. Skinner changed one of the words for his TV performance as it was deemed to be beyond the pale for light entertainment.
