Most of the bands I would like to see reform will never be able to because one or two members are no longer with us. Zeppelin, Floyd, Queen, Rainbow to name but 4.
The band I would love to see reform (and it is possible as they are all still living) is Kyuss. Most of you will not have heard of them but they were the band featuring Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri before they formed Queens Of The Stone Age. John Garcia is still with Unida and Brant Bjork is his own band, The Bros'. I would love to see them.
Do tears of gratitude count?

You're More Than Fair by Ian Dury. It's quite difficult to find now. It was on the b-side of the 7" single of Sweet Gene Vincent.
You're More Than Fair
You're more than fair, you've got a gorgeous bum
Why don't you come to my house and meet my mum
I like your titties, they're nice and small
Let me have a squeeze in my front hall
Satin drawers I want to run a hand in
I want to snap them off you as we reach the landing
A tender moment, don't let nothing spoil it
I shall caress your clitoris as we reach the toilet
You're more than fair, you're warm and soft
Remove the trousers as we reach the loft
To taste the pudding, you've got to try the proof
You can try the pudding on the roof
The roof's the only place I know
Maybe not "sexual" in the true sense, but worth repeating. It's a country & western pastiche by Clam Abuse. A side project featuring Ginger Wildheart and Alex Kane from Anti Product.
Unlucky In Love
First there was Harry, I thought we’d get married
Get a house, Settle down, have a couple of kids
Took ill on the Sunday and died by the Monday
Tuesday they nailed down the lid
His first cousin Sammy fly in from Miami
to give me a shoulder on which I could cry
I was nearly a sinner, till one night at dinner
he choked on my mum’s apple pie
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it, but when push comes to shove
I guess I’m unlucky in love
Johnny came later, the smooth operator
he fixed up the barn and he swept me away
Spontaneous combustion made quite a reduction
to any love made in the hay
For days I was grieving until I met Steven
who worked for the Salvation Army in town
but God gives diseases to whoever he pleases
and Steven's with Jesus right now
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it, but when push comes to shove
I guess I’m unlucky in love
Timmy and Trevor had a car crash together
and Jack had a heart attack mowing the lawn
and then they found David with his head amputated
and they’re still out looking for Shaun
I guess it's quite clear that male genitalia
has never been more than unlucky to me,
so now I'm surviving because I'm muff diving
I'd like y'all to meet Anne-Marie.
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it, but when push comes to shove
I guess I’m unlucky in love
Unlucky in love, unlucky in love
All of my lovers reside up above
I hate to admit it, but when push comes to shove
I guess I’m unlucky in love
There are so many examples of great lyrics.
REM's "anti-love song", The One I Love is up there, imo.
"This one goes out to The One I Love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to The One I Love"
So simple yet utterly effective at evincing the betrayal in a relationship.
I'll probably add more as I think of them.
Happy Guinness Marketing Department Day.
There was a time when bands actively tried to get their records banned by Radio 1. Once it was banned, everybody went out and bought it even if it was rubbish. Instant hit and anti-establishment cred in one fell swoop.
The thing with Relax always made me smile. It had been played nearly 100 times by Radio 1 before Mike Read came over all sanctimonious. Of course, he's that conceited, he takes the credit for making it a hit.
I'm a Black Country lad and Thatcher was responsible for destroying the manufacturing industry in that area.
She killed the foundries, chain makers, steel companies etc. and that led to the end of the "small firms" around the area that "supported" them.
She is not highly thought of in the Black Country. Many people will celebrate her passing. The area has never really recovered.
This from the Daily Mail:
What say you?
I can't recall the title but, she swallows, wipes the residue from her face and smiles at the camera.
"Do you belive in love at first sight?"
"I'm certain that it happens all the tii-ii-iime, yeah".
I usually find that people who answer "none of your business" believe but are too ashamed/frightened to admit it.
Stands well back and waits for backlash! :twisted:
A million housewives everyday

I remember the Davenports ad. It always seemed to be on before Star Soccer on ATV on a Sunday afternoon.
oh, and...
"Nuts, whole hazelnuts (ooh)
Cadbury's take 'em and they cover them in chocolate!"
I love the look Antony Perkins gives the camera at the very end of Hitchcock's Psycho. Really chilling.
Rutger Hauer's (improvised) speech at the end of Bladerunner.
Jimmy Cagney in White Heat; "Made it, Ma! Top o' the World" Ba-Boom!!!
I used to go there a lot on a Bi-night.
When I first started attending it was a good mixture of guys and ladies. The last couple of times I went, admitedly nearly 2 years ago, it was mainly single guys (not all of whom were bi,btw) and only a few fems who seemed to enjoy the attention of a group of guys ("greedy girls" sort of thing). Most of the bi action seemed to take place behind locked doors, whereas at one time, the jacuzzi and the "round room" was a hive of activity.
I repeat, I've not been on a Monday night for almost two years, so I'm not sure how it is now.
