Lurking, listening and completely enjoying this thread.

Like mice, if you hear one lurker, you can assume there are more out there.

I'll jump in if I can keep up.
Also, I like the banter, it add to the enjoyment of the game. A few lines from you posters is nice.

Barbarism begins at home, but I can still take you home again Kathleen.

My great-grandfather lost his arm in the Somme. He was left to die until, at last moment, he was rescued by an Irish nurse called Kathleen. He called his daughter, my grandmother, for her...and would sing this.

Ha! Good drummer gag there David. Be as obvious as you like Nicky, I confess to not getting the Skunk link. I guess a little googling could unearth it...

Skunk is a strong weed, these dudes know about strong weed: 06 54 46, That's My Number - Toots and the Maytals

Like it Nicky.
Not just any Sam but the Magic Sam..

And just to clear things up..David. I was never the drummer in Herman and Hermits. Although I did know Herman Munster, if that counts.
Okay, I saw him a few times on the beach.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre recorded a tribute to the Stones' Psychedelic period called Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request. This wasn't on it:

Never heard of them before, great name!

How about a song about a "Mind-blowing MASSACRE at the cemetery"?
