Only easy if you know the answer - and you do

over to you

Post by **Claudius** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 2:24 pm

ok, Queen, Led Zeppelin, the Stones and Metallica are my number two...and here comes one from my number one, the most of us could row a 5 k while the song is playing...it is veeeeery looong...

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
the egg was a bird.

(the undoubted masterpiece of the band)

Pink Floyd, or because of the words, more likely Genesis...?
Just looking for clues ...

(not that's not the song title guess)

Post by **Claudius** » Wed Apr 19, 2017 8:29 pm

yeah wolfie you are so close...the initials of the band leaders were or are P.G. following P.C. and of course also R.W.

But band leaders is the wrong word...just say they were the singers

in my opinion T.B. is the heart of the band...without him the magic of the sound would be gone...

I'm going to display my ignorance here, but I presume PG is Peter Gabriel and PC is Phil Collins. I know RW is not Robbie Williams, but I can't offer any alternative. As for TB...?

Tony Banks..

Post by **Claudius** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:23 am

R.W. is Ray Wilson, T.B. is Tony Banks, some extra clue: it is from the album foxtrot.

To find the answer without google you can read the bands article on wikipedia, just scroll down to the chapter mention this album, and you´ll find the answer...remember the most of us could row a 5k while the song is playing,

sorry, i know it is difficult again, but i couldnt resist to introduce you this masterpiece of progressive rock !

last clue, one more phrase:

...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you.
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

i`ll give the solution this evening, but if anyone gives the answear right away, i´ll promise only to choose easy ones in the future !

Wolfmiester · Post by **Wolfmiester** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 3:36 pm

ok, guess time, as you mentioned it's an album title ... "selling England by the Pound"?

Post by **Claudius** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 6:36 pm

It is from the album foxtrot

Post by **Claudius** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 6:37 pm

But it is not an album title...it is of course the longest track of the album ~23min

Paul Victory · Post by **Paul Victory** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 9:36 pm

OK, I gave up and googled it. I'm listening to it right now.

Post by **Claudius** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 6:41 am

ok here is the solution: Genesis : supper´s ready

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4HfFwVy-h0

You can row while you are listening and make a flat out with negative split from 15:40 till 19:40min of this video version, it is progressive rock, and not everyones taste, but i find it very fascinating, so i couldnt resist to introduce it, but now a very easy one:

You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin',
I'm gonna send you back to schoolin',
Way down inside honey, you need it,
I'm gonna give you my love,
I'm gonna give you my love.

Sounds like Whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin?

I must admit I googled the previous one, not a song I'd heard before (only know the more main stream Genesis stuff).

Post by **Claudius** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 8:42 am

Yes thats Led Zeppelin : whole lotta love, the Peter Gabriel Era is not so well known to the most people, but it is a very interesting experimental time of Genesis, i also began with the classiv pop themes with Phil Collins like invisible touch or jesus he knows me,

over to you !

Thanks Claudius, here's the next one:

The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you

BigWaveDave · Post by **BigWaveDave** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 12:09 pm

Dear Prudence

and I can hear Siouxsie Sioux signing this more than anyone else

jhaveman · Post by **jhaveman** » Tue Apr 25, 2017 3:22 pm

Correct Dave, a cover version that's at least as good as the original.

Your turn.

Think we have just watched the same thing

Let's Do it - Victoria Wood

Think you're right

Worth checking out on YouTube if you've never heard of it. The full name is "The ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's do it)"

Back to you Dave.
