They're usually some of the first songs that show up.

Are you sure you typed that correctly?

Maybe he's very popular in Switzerland

Nope. It just popped into my mind.

But that guy's very popular round here:

He mixed hip hop with folk music and it came out pretty good.

Here's another one:

That one's really funny. It's about 10 guys doing a drinking-competition. (what explains some of the nasty sounds :lol:

I love that song. Our local radio presenter doesn't like playing it though, because it doesn't have enough of a beat. :cry:

Has anyone mentioned Baker Street yet?

I think you will find that the track is called The Great Gig In The Sky.

Thanks Jason - was starting to bug me as the CDs currently on the Med somewhere or other :lol:

Baker Street - brilliant and I've loved saxophone ever since

You know, I had to go all the way to America to hear a song about South Wales. The Bells of Rhymney was a poem written by a Welshman and made into a song by American folk singer Pete Seeger.

Here's Pete singing it.

There have been loads of covers of it by such people as The Byrds, John Denver and The Alarm. There are some interesting pronounciations of 'Rhymney' though. :lol:

Heard that one before. I think it was on one of those late-night radio specials.

It's quite wistful...

We took the Porsche down to Tiger Bay
Drank the pubs dry where bands used to play in their heyday
I ran amok in the luxury blocks
Smashing windows against the clock for some therapy
There I glimpsed where we used to come
By the cranes and the luxury boats, a pure fantasy
From the tower I can see the past
Where we met and where we departed, the underworld

Caught the train to the valley again
cast a sprinkle from pains in the
I wandered down to (pirate town)
In the island I nearly drowned, you can count on me

that song always makes me cry, because it reminds me of my grandma. :cry:
