you want to be The Invisible Man?

Me, no question, if I could get to look like her, dress like her and sing on-stage with Tom Petty (and a remarkably young-looking Mike Campbell) then for one night only and before the cocaine takes hold and the love-life gets too complicated, please please please make all my dreams come true and let me be Stevie Nicks

- Stop Dragging my Heart Around

Tonight I'm going to be Viv Stanshall, so I can sing just for you covered in sequins

Mr. Apollo - The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

I can't sing a note so tonight Bryan I'm going to be Ringo Starr















reciting Thomas the Tank Engine

FRIDAY

"Tonight, Bryan, I'm going to be Brad Paisley. Why? Because this song will generate more positive feedback than any other song ever played on your show. You can thank me later."


'Ode De Toilet (The Toilet Song)'

Stars in your eyes....



Is this another excuse for a space theme?

Do we only get one shout? (Note: one shout from me is possibly too much for some)
All of these are ones I probably murder any time I attempt them. But I pour every ounce (I'm not small) of passion I possess into their rendition, when in the right mood. No Mariah or Whitney theatrics going on here - just good old-fashioned soul and feeling.
I has the X factor.

tonight, Matthew, I want to be Ella Piaf London

Ella Fitzgerald Summertime
Edith Piaf Autumn Leaves
Julie London Cry Me A River

cleared the room again.
toodles.

What's wrong with Judy Garland?

Another great theme really looking forward to seeing what unusual suggestions there are.

Think I'll go for one dead and one alive!

You can't do both Peters and Lee

or Rene and Renato

I think we should be telt which one of the GIO team actually owns that Starsinyoureyes box set!

"Tonight Bryan, I'm going to be Willie Tee" ~ Teasin' You!

Tonight Bryan, I'm going to be Orville

You can't.

Does the Ö÷²¥´óÐã makeup dept run to large supplies of nose putty?

If so, tonight Bryan I'm going to be...
* Billy Bragg - Sulk
* Billy Bragg - Shirley

"Tonight Bryan, I'm going to be Steven Lindsay. Even though I don't sing very well I'm sure that your technical people can make me sound good. It seems to have worked wonders for a lot of musical careers! The song that I am going to sing is Kite. Thanks for giving me the chance to start my musical journey on GiO"

Tonight Bryan, the musician I'm going to be had the chance to be hugely influential, play in some great bands and work with some fantastic musicians. He had a priveleged upbringing but a fairly troubled life. Going out in strange circumstances with his body stolen and set on fire by my pals....but best of all...wait till you seen the suit I am going to wear tonight, because tonight Bryan I am going to be...Gram Parsons

Gram Parsons - Ooh Las Vegas

or


The Byrds - One Hundred Years From Now (reherseal take with Gram on lead vocal)

#17, I was tempted



OK, tonight Bryan, I'm gonnae be Chris Rea and I'd like to sing Stainsby Girls.




Thanks for the offer of the chance to be David Gilmour but that would mean shaving my hair off. Not that I have much hair to lose but I like what I have......


DC in Cellardyke



PS I had a fish supper for tea last night

I had Fish Tea for supper.

They look up to me. I had salmon for tea last night.

"Tonight Bryan, I'm going to be Barbra Streisand. I'll be singing (if that's the right word) Guilty

I know it's a duet. If Barry Gibb isn't available I'll settle for Michael Bolton."

;o)

The bagels and lox are for Sunday breakfast.

Tonight, Bryan, on this non-themed night where anyone can ask for anything, I would like to be KatieJane Garside.

MY SILENT UNDOING from DRINK ME by QUEENADREENA

Have they ever been played on the wireless? On any station? A first for GIO?

Bryan, I would like to volunteer my services as Barry Gibb and sing alongside Senga.

Note to Wardrobe: I have the white jumpsuit and the hairy chest is not a problem. Need a medalion though. Could maybe borrow Scotch Git's.

It's in the pawn. Times is hard...

Previously on the Blog....

Paolo, you may be interested to know that I appeared together with Adam and the Ants in their first spread in the NME in 78. Even supplied the headline of "Sex and Violence in the Insect World"



Then again you may not be...

#22 & # 23

I couldn't finish my fish supper because I was so full up

If ye dinna finish yir fish supper ye'll no' get ony ice-cream...













Bairns are starvin' in Africa...

#32 phew - and there was me about to accept the invite to Sunday breakfast thinking there'd be champagne with the smoked salmon.

Still, the Stevie Nicks look probably wouldn't have stood up to the unforgiving morning light

#33

It's a bug eat bug world...

#36

Alcohol for breakfast? Of course! You're from Greenock...

I am not!

I live in Greenock.

Bambi used to live in Greenock.

Poor Bambi...

Tonight, Bryan, Scotch Git has shown me the error of my ways. I'd like to turn my life around from the murderous alcoholic path I've been following and tonight, Bryan, I'd like to become a

Adam are you being Phil Oakey?

#40
And we all know what happened to Bambi after the closing credits, don't we boys and girls...

Oh, forgot - there's a show tonight which is soliciting requests!

Changed my mind (or at least want a 2nd go at it). Having spent a good chunk of last night practising the guitar for this, I'd like to be David Gilmour and perform:

* Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Or, if the nose putty is still on, can I attempt
* Richard Thompson - The Dimming of the Day (Accepting co-applicants for the Linda parts)
* Richard Thompson - Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands
* Fairport Convention - Jack O'Diamonds
* Fairport Convention - London River

#42
Not a bad idea Norrie. Could maybe get a bit of Love Action in with Senga after Guilty.

#45 That is the spirit! Told you - great theme!

hmmm...

well, I'd quite like to be Pete Yorn, singing 'Relator' with Scarlett Johanssen....

I've got lots of others.... more to follow...

regardez youse

henri

#47 oh Henri what a great shout. Never heard the song of course, but no matter.....

the song's great - and you probably have heard it.

You're extremely upbeat today Mr Maclean! Everything is brilliant!

DC

#51

I think he's had the day aff. Him and Scotch Git both.

#50 If you had what i had for your dinner....usual chefs...Mr artois, Mr Smirnoff.

Loved Chris Rea though..one of my favourite artists.

Anybody think this show should be re-named Get It On The Stove?

I'm still recovering from Miss Babs' revelation that Dusty wore big falsies.

I didn't hear that bit. Which part of her was false?



An what's next weeks themes?

DC

Her eyelashes.

next weeks themes are "Her Eyelahes"...bit restrictive will need to think about that one...

#56 Phew......
