For the first time in ages, I actually don't have anything going around my head! Really strange!

He Ain't Heavy by the Hollies. Ever since it featured on the Pause For Thought slot on Chris Evans' breakfast show last week, I keep waking up with it already going round my head. I love the song, but please make it stop!

Thalben -Balls 'Elegie'
I heard Alison Balsom play it on the trumpet with organ on the tele a few days ago, then I played the original myself in church on Sunday. A beautiful piece.

Many years ago, at the end of my first year at uni, my final exam of the year was Mathematics. That morning, I got a lift up to campus with a friend in his car. "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" by Crystal Waters was playing on the radio, and the song stuck in my head. Trying to do Laplace transforms and dealing with differential equations while I had "La Da Dee La Da Daa" going through my head... I'm amazed I passed.

In case you've not heard it / can't remember it:

There are those of us who regard the Hippopotamus song as at least as good as Norwegian Wood, if not better!


Well, the last thing I wanted to cause after a good afternoon's singing was offence. Obviously I have! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I wasn't happy with my playing of NW so was pleased that corenfa had gone from Hippo to Wood. It was only ever meant to be a joke.

Apologies to Tom or anyone else....

Oh dear: I'm so sorry, mea culpa and all that: No offence taken, honest guv'. I was trying to enter into the spirit of jokiness: Obviously misfired. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

'Because the reindeer, the reindeer - are on the roof'

Thanks, or something, to whoever suggested this one! Hopefully it will have dislodged from my brain by tomorrow.

Agadoo by Black Lace! I heard it on the TV last night, and now the tune keeps haunting me.

What did I do to deserve this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The Thalben-Ball Elegy is a wonderful and very haunting peice of music, but I have never heard it played on trumpet with organ before. Do you remember which TV programme this was broadcast on, as I would like to hear it if at all possible? I have tried searching BBC iPlayer and ITV, but cannot find anything.
