Beast of Burden, the Stones. No clue about the others!

There's loads of theories about this photograph. Paul is dead hence is barefoot and out of step, John's the priest in white, George is the gravedigger in denim work clothes and Ringo is the undertaker in black suit of course. Paul was 27 at the time and the number plate on the vee-dub reads 28 IF - meaning he'd have been 28 if he'd lived. On the run-out of the song Strawberry Fields John allegedly (according to the theorists) says 'I buried Paul' (in fact he really said 'Cranberry Sauce'). Ironic in a tragic sort of way that he's one of the surviving ones now. I seem to keep going off topic a lot recently.

If you were lucky. The real fun was when the extended shackles bent under hard cornering loads!

Great stuff I assume the transmission is made of titanium otherwise there may be a few issues when the lucky driver stands on the loud pedal!

Hmm I could never take him seriously, maybe it was the codpiece! Mind you how could anyone take Noddy Holder seriously? If I could stick my pen in my heart Spill it all over the stage Would it satisfy ya would it slid on by ya Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he stray-a-ange?

HEMI PRIUS - is that a Hemibrid? But I'm not fooled - anyone can stick a Prius badge on the back of their 'Cuda! Back to the topic - c'mon everybody make your mark for the Duece!

Strangely, I never thought of you as a Prius man, Bill!

as they pulled his body from the burning wreck with his dying breath they heard him say... Tell Laura I love her It's not very cheerful, but it is a true great to my distorted mind. I'd go for 'Maybelline', and of the 3 on offer, well I'm with John Milner!

Noddy Holder - second best singer of all time - after John Lennon of course. No need for a mike!

um that'd be 'Fairies'

Don't beat around the bush, Skip! Agreed

Suffragette City - David Bowie OR Thanks for the memory - Slade (bit less well known in the US)

When I was at school, in the 6th form and aged 18 I had a friend called Michel Eccleston whose dad was in the motor trade. While Mike was still a learner Mr Eccleston lent us his 4.2 ltr XJ6 to go to Silverstone for the F1 qualifying. That was great, but that evening on the way home I pulled away from the lights at a T-junction a bit quickly, lost the back end (I still blame the power steering which had no feel for what the front wheels were doing) and went sideways over the kerb and hit a low wall - outside our school as it happened. Pushed the sill and rear valence in and wrecked the nearside rear wheel... A few months later after all was forgiven Mike and I accompanied his dad to a car rally. Mike drove his dad's Model T Ford Tourer from about 1920. It had no self centering on the steering and all went well until Mike lost concentration late in the day and veered off the road and hit a telegraph pole, which bent the front wing and pushed the axle back on one side... Luckily we hadn't been going all that fast. We sort of lost touch after that. Great model, good story btw!

Same here, but Zep always were a bit mysterious

Bicycle Race - Queen I like smokin' lightning Heavy metal thunder Racing with the wind And the feeling that I'm under

'You wear it well' - Rod the Mod (Stewart)

Love Shack - B-52s - dreadful song, but so catchy!

'Its a long way down to the top' - Back Street Crawler. I have the LP, poor Mr Kossof, such a waste.

I think Chuck Berry would be surprised to hear that! Tubbs already got this one (Maybelline by mr Berry)

Chute? Shoot!

Uneasy Rider, Charlie Daniels! Good song. 'You know I'm born to lose and gambling's for fools but that's the way I like it baby I don't want to live forever'

No problem! I'm stuck on your last lyric though...

Dare I suggest that if somebody wants to post some lyrics that they have to identify some that are already posted first? It's getting a little like spaghetti, too many strands....

Jumping Jack Flash - the Stones. Detroit Rock City - Kiss How about this: 'The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound. The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead. The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still...'

Just a thought - this would fit right in there...
