Re: Name that tune

My first thought was Ian Hunter's Central Park N' West, but the closest connection I could get to Fabrice Muamba was an ambulance reference in the lyrics and that The Reebok Stadium is just up the road from Westhoughton

I never knew Central Park had a golf course in it. And it's much more woody than I expected.

Happy Trails - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Another imaginative interpretation, Arthur.

No suggestions from our junior members?

You'll need to start choosing some j-pop numbers to keep the interest of our junior members. Wink

I'm taking a guess at the delicious smooth pop number Ain't No Doubt by legendary Geordie crooner Jimmy Nail

Dr M Sat Jan 26, 2013 9:42 pm

I'm afraid my knowledge of Mr Nail's work doesn't extend beyond his fetishisation of crocodilian footwear.

Snail Dust - They Might Be Giants

A good guess, Arthur, but not quite what I had in mind.

A zany remark plays a part here.

Going Nowhere Fast - Beck

The song I have in mind was released before most of our younger members were born.

Manhattan Transfer - Chanson D'Amour

Dr M Fri Feb 01, 2013 7:13 pm

The Manhattan Transfer recorded their version of Chanson D'Amour (Song Of Love) in 1976, LaaLaa.

Most of Second Space's younger members are now in their mid to late forties.

A song from the sixties, then?

A Salty Dog - Procul Harum

We need a clue? Does either the artist or the song have the word "snail" in it or do we need to be thinking a lot more laterally?

Disregard the snail (a touch of whimsy on my part) and try a more literal interpretation.

What meaning do you infer from the red X?

'No', 'prohibited', that sort of thing.

If 'No' is correct, then what is prohibited in the song title?

If your deductions are correct, then on what part of the snail's anatomy is no salt permitted?

Ah it's a salt pot!?! I thought it was a lightbulb which took me in a whole other direction.

Well done, LaaLaa. With Arthur's help you named that tune.

And what a fabulous tune it is.
