The first rule of Interactive polls is..

1. Post some songs (usually about 3 or less) that have to do with the subject in the poll.  Unless stated otherwise, the songs cannot be by artists listed in ProgArchives and typically be lesser known songs

we usually do non-prog. 

Raff is right but I guess TCat is the one to say what song stays and what song goes.

Looks like we've had some great selections so far.  I wasn't sure if this would be a difficult one or not, but it seems to be working out well.  (Well.  Get it?)
  Could not resist the challenge.....[video removed for space]  there are also some "saline," songs, but this one was pretty clever with the double meaning thing going on.

We don't have to do the poll. Nickie wins! Smile

That's for TCat to decide.
One of my songs is from a band that is on PA. Little known, but it's on PA.

Wonderful music! This young Turkish boy, stuck in the seventies, judging by the length of his hair, is talented, in my opinion he will give us satisfaction!


Historians get the true story of Handel's [sic] Water Music wrong. It is said that King George I asked Handel to provide music for his River Thames barge party, and the suite was the result. In reality, it was Boy George I (who also sported long hair) that asked DJ Handles to create music (Handles' Passing Water Music) to help with his urinary retention, but it worked far too well as he developed chronic urinary incontinence. A very pissed Boy George I later wrote a song about Handles, who George unfairly blamed for Handles' great success, called "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (Do you Really Want to Make Me Pee)" which featured the lyrics:

"Do you really want to hurt me,
Do you really want to make me pee...
Come inside and catch my whizz
I've been piddling but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy wees without a reason
I'm prepared to let it go
If it's piss you want from me
Then feel my spray
Please take it away" (The UnCultured Club).
You just made that up...didn't you? Wink


Maybe.

Some of it at least. It's true about King George I and Handel from what I know. In terms of the Culture Club (with Boy George) lyrics, I adapted them somewhat. For some reason it was more concerned with crying than other juices aflying. I think mine is an improvement. The name Handles is my little homage to a cyberman head in Doctor Who.

Anyway, now I'm getting lots of ideas for songs. Here's another one with "sea" in its title - "Toiler on the Sea" by the Stranglers:

West is my favorite. I previously nominated "If You Have to Ask" in the male singer-songwriter poll, going way back. One of the earlier ones.

And this one doesn't playing for me. What song is it?

It's River Deep Mountain High.

^ The artist and title is in the post. It's Mark Eitzel -"Southend on Sea"

A Crimson Mellotron, that video is not working.

I do think it's helpful if people do type the names of both the artists and songs partially because the videos might not work or not work for some, and also that tit can help the OP in preparing the poll (easier to copy/paste).
