Well you'll remember I wasnt around then.. however topical for yesterday linked with that RIP DD points me to the news that Dave Dee died.. (oh how poetic that is! wonder if he ever saw that one coming?)
Dave Dee was in Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich and the BBC homepage stated they had a famous song he cracked a whip in called Legend of Xanadau.

So thats my answer!

Check this one

Fell to the red room because she was there, uh-huh-huh-huh
A scarlet woman, she got me in fear, yeah, yeah, yeah
She said, do all those things that you do to me
You know what I mean, boy
Do all those things that you do to me, yeah

hmmm

this was covered by my all time favourite singer :)

You...
Touch me...
I hear the sound
Of mandolins
You...
Kiss me...
With your kiss
My life begins
You're spring to me
All things
To me

(think on my user name for the clue!)

The Bowie clue is obviously not enough. More help please.

Can't say that I'm up on my Bowie though so make it a strong clue

Is the theme from a western and eartha kitt also covered it. It is from the station to station era

I couldnt believe Bowie was a fav or see the username connection, but he played a mandolin and it got a mention here in Wild Wind or somesuch.

Rawhide ?????

But seriously I don't have a clue. Never been a Bowie fan I guess.

Anyone else? ( unless Samray has given the answer - I don't understand his last post at all

)

Oh. I was close enough?
Try this then.

Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

You must recognise the poet, but which song?

Fausto · #28 Post by **Fausto** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 3:06 pm

Don't know the name of the song but is it that one where he holds up big lyric cards in an old video and peels them off roughly in time with the singing ???

Nah, thought not
