  16. This is a new idea for a Kill or Save game, when other topics are done, so maybe one for next year: Kill or Save: The Singing DeathList In this KoS, former or current candidates of the DeathList compete against each other (maybe two rounds and one Grand Final). It can be singers and musicians, band members or anyone who has recorded a song. With most candidates, it is clear which song they are competing with: the most successful or the most significant (I would also use the UK charts as a guide). If an artist has been successful solo, but has also played in a group or band, I would choose the song from their solo career first, and only secondarily the hit of the group/band. However, there are musicians, entertainers or orchestra leaders who didn't really have any typical songs. So we have to coordinate with a few people, like Cleo Laine or Sonny Rollins. They are certainly great artists, but did they have a big hit that they are known for or are always associated with? Or Jerry Garcia. I know the name, I know his band, but I really don't know any of their songs, I have to admit that to my shame. But please see below. Also, I may have overlooked some artists or candidates who have also released a song without being primarily a musician, maybe politicians, sports commentators, school inspectors, whatever. So please name missing candidates and their songs. The artists of the DeathList and their songs: Andy Taylor (Duran Duran) – The Reflex Aretha Franklin – Respect Arthur Mullard – You're the one that I want (& Hylda Baker) B.B. King – When love comes to town (& U2) Bernie Nolan (The Nolans) – I'm in the mood for dancing Brian Clough (Nottingham Forest & Paper Lace) – We've got the whole world in our hands Bruce Forsyth - Almost like being in love Burt Bacharach – Trains and boats and planes Captain Tom Moore – You'll never walk alone (& Michael Ball) Carly Simon – You're so vain Charles Aznavour – She Christopher Lee – I, Don Quixote (Metal Knight EP) Chuck Berry – My ding-a-ling Clive James Dunn – Grandad David Crosby (Crosby, Stills & Nash) – Marrakesh Express Dean Martin – Memories are made of this Doris Day – Whatever will be, will be (Que sera, sera) Dudley Moore – Goodbye-ee (& Peter Cook) Etta James – At last Fats Domino – Blueberry Hill Fergie Frederiksen (Toto) – Stranger in town Frank Sinatra – Strangers in the night Frankie Laine – I believe George Chisholm (Johnston Brothers) – Join in and sing again Gerry Rafferty – Bakerstreet Glen Campbell – Rhinestone Cowboy Gord Downie (Tragically Hip) – Ahead by a century Harry Belafonte – Mary's boy child Harry Secombe – This is my song Holly Johnson – Americanos Ian Dury (& the Blockheads) – Hit me with your rhythm stick Jerry Lee Lewis – Great balls of fire John Lee Hooker – Boom Boom Johnny Cash – A boy named Sue Johnny Clegg (& Savuka) – Scatterlings of Africa (& Savuka) Joni Mitchell – Big yellow taxi Kenny Everett – Snot Rap Les Paul – Vaya con dios (& Mary Ford) Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops) – Reach out, I'll be there Linda Nolan (The Nolans) – Gotta pull myself together Linda Ronstadt – Don't know much (& Aaron Neville) Little Richard – Good golly, Miss Molly Liza Minnelli – Losing my mind Loretta Lynn – Coalminer's Daughter Lou Rawls – You'll never find another love like mine Marianne Faithfull – Come and stay with me Mel Brooks – To be or not to be Norman Wisdom – Don't laugh at me ('cause I'm a fool) Olivia Newton-John – Hopelessly devoted to you Ozzy Osbourne – Changes (& Kelly Osbourne) Patrick Swayze – She's like the wind Patty Andrews (The Andrews Sisters) – Bei mir bist du schön Perry Como – Magic Moments Peter Shilton (England Squad) – This time we'll get it right Peter Tork (The Monkees) - I'm a believer Reg Presley (The Troggs) – With a girl like you Robin Gibb – Saved by the bell Rolf Harris – Two little boys Roy Castle – Little white berry Roy Rogers - Hoppy, Gene and me Russell Watson – Someone like you (& Faye Tozer) Ryuichi Sakamoto – Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) – Fairytale of New York Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) – Step on Spike Milligan (The Goons) – The Ying Tong Song Telly Savalas – If Terry Waite – When I dream Timothy Leary (meets The Grid) – Origins of Dance Tina Turner – What's love got to do with it Tony Bennett – Stranger in paradise Tony Martin – Walk hand in hand Vera Lynn – My son, my son Warren Zevon – Werewolves of London Wendy Richard – Come outside (& Mike Sarne) Willie Nelson – To all the girls I've loved before (& Julio Iglesias) Yoko Ono – Walking on thin ice With some artists it is not easy to choose a song. First and foremost, I orientate myself to the highest position in the charts. But is that automatically the artist's most significant song? What do you think? Most successful or most significant? Harry Belafonte: Mary's boy Child (#1) vs. Banana Boat Song (#2) Marianne Faithfull: Come and stay with me (#4) vs. Ballad of Lucy Jordan (#48) Vera Lynn: My son my son (#1) vs. ??? Aretha Franklin: I knew you were waiting for me (#1) vs. Respect (#10) Etta James: I just want to make love to you (#5) vs. At last (#39) Joni Mitchell: Got 'til it's gone (with Janet Jackson) (#6) vs. Big yellow taxi (#11) Nolan Sisters: I choose their most successful song for Bernie and their second succesful for Linda because Bernie seemed to be the lead singer. Not clear, help to clarify needed: Artie Shaw Benny Carter Bo Diddley Captain Beefheart Cleo Laine Genesis P-Orridge George Chisholm George Melly Ginger Baker Jerry Garcia Lionel Hampton Mark E. Smith Marti Caine Pete Seeger Ravi Shankar Ronnie Wood Sonny Rollins Wilko Johnson And what should we do with any one Beatle???

  21. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I always associate Somebody To Love very strongly with Christmas. My grandfather always wanted to hear this song on Christmas Eve, so we turned it up loud and celebrated accordingly. After that he always said what a fantastic piece of music this song is. Always. Each year. This is a great memory for me. And whenever I hear this song, I'm a little sad because I think of my grandfather, who has passed away in the meantime. And at the same time I'm happy because it's such a fantastic piece of music!
