First topic message reminder :

Too early I think, story of my life as TSMR will testify.

2 and 4 are familiar.

I think that 4 is pink Floyd. Shine on you crazy diamond?

Name the band and song and common link.

1.) She has a built in ability, To take everything she sees. And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her. Genesis - Invisible Touch - Rowley

2.) She was a fast machine she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman that I ever seen

3.) Tell me why Everything turned around? Packing up shacking up's all you wanna do. Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way - Rowley

4.) Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze

5.) No point asking who's to blame 'Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die

If Adam is right and it is Pink Floyd I do have some of their albums but never listen them, their appeal has always been absolutely lost on me, like the Beatles I have tried but never quite managed to get into them.

Close but no cigar.

And 2 nothing like 4. As an aside do we think 'her motor' is her vag?

Apart from Brick in the wall I think it is their most famous song to the layman

Need Dave's help for 5 perhaps.

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 11:44 am

5. SLAYER

Slayer are to this band what Oasis are to Dodgy.

Shouldn't that be Have a Cigar? (which is a track from the same album as Crazy Diamond, Wish you were here)

by Adam D Thu 04 Sep 2014, 11:50 am

Actually, is it Wish you were Here?

2. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
4. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd... as Adam has said.

At last a man of taste.

We have Genesis, AC/DC, Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd so far......

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 12:07 pm

I only saw them play that once live 33 years ago at the old Showground... which is now the Fox Studios next to the SCG.

Can't see the connection just yet.

Yeah, it's auto imagery but obviously referring to some groupie bird's muff.
(I bet it tasted like motor oil & cigarettes!)

What a way to celebrate my 42,900th. Smile

Getting ahead of myself. I'm actually quite scared about it. Only a Nena to go.

Amazing fact alert, there was nothing in the original about them being red, the fact that they were red was only added to make the lyric scan properly.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 12:18 pm

Well I thought that would be easier than it was. They are all bands who replaced their lead singer (for various reasons) and continued to be successful both commercially and/or critically

Lyndsay Buckingham, Phil Collins, Brian Johnston, David Gilmour, Bruce Dickinson.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 12:28 pm

I was thinking they may have all projected their hamptons on castle walls at some stage of their careers.

That story makes me crack up. Even had a chuckle about it today just after having a serious talk with the builders.

You should go on a world tour. You'd be a massive hit and an inspiration to many people.
What would be your Top 10 monuments to Project Percy onto? <-- great name for it - claim the web domain now.

Can I start? (has to be something with flat walls so no Eiffel Tower, etc)

1. The Pyramids
2. The Kremlin
3. Imperial Palace, Tokyo

Putin would love that. He is the gayest 'straight' man I have ever seen.

Cleopatra's Needle?

Nelson's Column. Ooer missus.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 12:31 pm

4. Machu Picchu, .....................LoL

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 12:35 pm

5. The Wailing Wall or The Great Wall. Maybe do a simulcast?

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:04 pm

Hampton court

by **seanmichaels** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:08 pm

I'd quite like to do a batman style projection into the sky at Mecca during the pilgrimage. I think they're quite intense people and a bit of Tomfoolery could have a positive effect.

Perhaps an image of the prophet? They seem to like that sort of thing.

If you could do a shadow play with your Hampton, should knock it out of the park...

You have to respectful to their beliefs. They don't like people caricuturing or immitating Jesus.

Found this out when a mate and I were producing a 'Moon with a view' series whilst on tour in South Africa. The people in charge of table mountain didn't appreciate his world in action pose overlooking the bay and Robin Island.

If I could do that I wouldn't be sitting here, that's for sure.

Could be one for BGT, though it could well have been on Eurotrash at some point?

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:40 pm

My hampton is getting excited just thinking about the endless possibilities.

Sort of like that Endless Summer surfing movie... but with more sophisticated technology.
If someone tries to black it out... we just reproduce it somewhere else. Sort of like the Hydra's appendages before Hercules eventually got the better of it.... I mean them.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:48 pm

I think you can project to the surface in water (obviously still at night). Would be a feat of engineering but I saw it on War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:54 pm

Niagara Falls would certainly be a technological challenge.

Maybe we could use some red dye instead on the polar ice caps in winter. Make it visible from space? Greenpeace may not want to sponsor it but I'm sure a few porn studios would be interested.

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 1:58 pm

Niagara Balls

or

Viagara Falls

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:06 pm

Viagra was a lab accident.

They were trying to make a pill to fight heart disease. Some of the people tested got chubbies as a side-effect and this led to Viagra been developed.

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:08 pm

Almost as interesting as my 99 balloons story.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:12 pm

Not really.

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:14 pm

You're right.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:21 pm

Your little'un is presumably going to be born dahn Sarf?

You can't be pleased with that? All of mine are born down here, it is a source of constant disappointment.

Here's a story someone told me the other day, which I did not realise, but found quite interesting, am sure none of you will, but I fully intend to share it with you irregardless. Baseball players for the New York Yankees are not allowed to have facial hair. If they sign a player from another side they make them shave it off before they are allowed to sign for them. I watched a game after being told this, it is true.

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:38 pm

Irregardless?

Erm

Just sorting a quiz, will stick it up in a minute...

by Rowley Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:41 pm

irregardless
ˌɪrɪˈgɑːdləs/

What's the reasoning behind it?

by **Union Cane** Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:44 pm

Here goes...

Title, artist and link please.

1. Did you miss me when I was away? Did you hang my picture on your wall?
2. You see the signs, but you can't read, you're running at a different speed
3. Last night you talked about leaving, I said I can't let you go
4. Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you, but I don't mind, why should I mind, why should I mind
5. Body is healthy, my rhymes make me wealthy, and the Funky Bunch helps me

by Adam D Thu 04 Sep 2014, 2:45 pm

5. Marky Mark? Good something or other?
