I'll start. You pick your favorite song well ok, I pick my favorite song So I'm picking Massive Attacks A Prayer for England. (In honor of all of our English folk who chill ont he wrong side of the sea) *pokes Timmy* But then you need to come up with an artist and a song that matches the last letter of the artist and the last letter of the song. sound fair?

Massive attack-- a Prayer for england.
SO next has to start with K and the song start with D Go get it alrighties!

Not the happiest song ever written, perhpaps, but I always liked it...

...so to make things a little less "gloomy" (and with Andy's permission!), how about continuing this game with one of the happiest songs of all time (and another of my all-time favorites): "Johnny Nash--'I Can See Clearly Now'"

So that leaves a double challengs: a song with artist beginning with "s" and title beginning with "d", and a song with artist beginning with "h" and title beginning with "w". Smile

OK, I'll go for it. I saw this band when I was a student. They were famed for having a stripper. http://www.kadu.demon.co.uk/pages/hawkjoke.html Lord she should never have taken her clothes off! Not a true favourite, but I like the lyrics:

Hawkwind

Warrior on the Edge of Time

http://www.hawkwind.com/lyr/woteot.htm

They played a gig at our students union. I looked after a lot of sound and lighting and "stuff" so always got into gigs free. And I watched part of the gig from directy above the stripper, within the stage area.

So, now a band starting with a D and a song with an E

Artist D and song E.

Donald Peers was a British pop idol about 50 years ago!!!! (No one said anything about "when".) One of his songs was "Enjoy Yourself". (And I don't mind if I do, thank you.)

Next in line: Artist S and song F.

Artist S and song F.

Sagat was apparenlty an American male raper in the early 90s who only released two songs, apparently. Of them, one of them are called Funk Dat (hurrah for Guiness World Records British Hit Singles!)

Next in line: Artist T and song T!

One of my favorite bands of all time, and a pretty good song, though not their best...but it does fulfill the requirement.

Third Eye Blind--"Thanks A Lot"

the next will be a D band and a T song....

OK: "D"="Donovan" and "S"="Sunshine Superman" (for those of you born after 1966, I kid you not!).

So I guess that now makes it "N" and "N" (how about that!).

Okay this was a tricky one so i ran to my Friend Clayton for help and from his collection of country music he found, Alan Jackson 'Pop a top' (it's not such a bad song, if you like country, and i don't mind country but i was hopping to find something by Annie Lennox, or Ace of Base, or even ABBA but alas i couldn't.)


So N and P now.

so i make that a 't' and a 'y'
