♫ Little Does She Know ♫
Today’s song choice is another suggestion from Clive … also another I hadn’t ever heard before, but I really enjoy broadening my horizons, hearing a new variety of music!  The rhyming of the lyrics is what made me chuckle on this one … where else will you hear “laundry” paired with “quandary” and “urgent” with “detergent”? Not much background info on the song, but the artists, the Kursaal Flyers,…

"Remember you're a womble", The Wombles
1974 Written by Mike Batt
It's interval time in Let's Do It, my personal favourite singles from 1954-76.
The Wombles were breakout stars from children's television. Books by Elizabeth Beresford, turned into films narrated by Sir Bernard Cribbins, and with a seriously good soundtrack written by Mike Batt. He gathered together some session musicians to perform in character as Tobermoray, Orinoco, Wellington, Tomsk, and Uncle Bulgaria.
Tumblr media
"The wombling song" established the characters, and proved a bigger hit than anyone had expected. Womblemania struck, and they quickly followed up with their magnum opus. The fiddles! The chant-a-long chorus! The lyric makes sense!
"Remember you're a womble" was somewhat recycled for their festive record "Wombling merry Christmas", very appropriate. The Womble bubble slowly deflated, but they had eight top twenty hits and four chart albums, which is about as much as New Kids on the Block. The art of great songs for children has somewhat been lost, the Tweenies and "Baby shark" are perhaps the most memorable examples since.
Our video comes from the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, where a film from the Wombles filled the interval while votes were cast.

It Seemed A Good Idea At The Time – Mike Batt
Tenía un plan respecto a este moribundo blog, y mucho me temo que no va a salir: el 26 de octubre de este 2002 se cumplirán exactamente diez años desde que publiqué el primer post, y me parecía una cosa chula intentar que ese día se publicara la entrada correspondiente a la canción número 1.000, y después dejar de dar la murga al personal, con la satisfacción de haber escrito 1.000 textos (lo sé:…

Toby Regbo has a small role in this new movie -- Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game. Still a period piece set in 1970s NYC, but MUCH MORE modern than his most well-known roles of Aethelred in The Last Kingdom, Francis in Reign, Tommaso in Medici 3, Young Albus Dumbledore, and the centuries-old vampire Jack in A Discovery Of Witches.😄. https://pinballfilm.com

Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera 2002
"The Phantom of the Opera" is a song from the 1986 stage musical of the same name, based on the 1910 French novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux, which tells the tragic story of a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, masked musical genius living in the subterranean labyrinth beneath the Paris Opéra House. The song was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics written by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and additional lyrics by Mike Batt. The song was originally recorded by Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley, which became a UK hit single in 1986, prior to the musical. Listen to it here! In its theatrical debut, it was sung by Brightman and Michael Crawford in their roles as Christine Daaé and the Phantom. Listen to it here! The Phantom of the Opera was the longest running show in Broadway history, and celebrated its 10,000th performance on February 11, 2012, becoming the first Broadway production in history to do so. It is the second longest-running West End musical, after Les Misérables, and the third longest-running West End show overall, after The Mousetrap. The original West End production at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, ended its run in 2020, its run cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Kitee. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marko Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.
In 2002, Nightwish released Century Child, along with the singles "Ever Dream" and "Bless the Child". Century Child was certified gold two hours after its release, and platinum two weeks afterwards. It set a record on the Finnish album charts of most distance between a first place album and the second place. An enduring favorite of fans is the band's version of "The Phantom of the Opera". The song was routinely played in concerts until October 21, 2005, when vocalist Tarja Turunen was fired from the band and later replaced with Anette Olzon, whereupon the band announced that they would never play the song live again. This would hold true for 17 years until November 27 and 28, 2022, when Nightwish was joined by Dutch singer Henk Poort on stage at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam to perform the song. Marko Hietala joined Tarja Turunen at a couple of her solo shows in 2023 to sing "The Phantom of the Opera" with her. They are set to tour together in Spring 2024 in Latin America on Tarja's "Living The Dream – The Hits Tour".
"The Phantom of the Opera" recieved a total of 82,7% yes votes!

Storia Di Musica #325 - Family, Music In A Doll's House, 1968
L'edificio della copertina del disco di oggi è una casa. Ma di quelle delle bambole. È anche, come per una vera casa, un susseguirsi di ambienti legati, di storie. Il disco di oggi è, unanimemente, uno dei più particolari e preziosi dischi degli anni '60 e, aggiungo io, uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto. Tutto inizia a Leicester, inizio anni '60. Roger Chapman, che già ha qualche esperienza in piccoli gruppi, forma i Farinas, con suoi amici del Leicester Art College: Charlie Whitney, che suona la chitarra, Jim King che suona il sassofono, Harry Overnall e Tim Kirchin, quest'ultimo poi sostituito da Ric Grech. Registrano un primo singolo, per la Fontana, dal titolo You'd Better Stp / I Like It Like That del 1964, che ha un piccolissimo successo. Cambiano nome in Roaring Sixties e pubblicano un nuovo singolo, We Love The Pirates, nel 1966. A questo punto cambiano nome in Family, per l'abitudine di fare tutto insieme, e quando Rob Townsend sostituisce Overnall vanno a Londra. Qui in poco tempo si diffonde la notizia che in città c'è un gruppo che mischia in maniera totalmente innovativa blues, folk, jazz, e ha un cantante che ha una voce incredibile, calda, ruvida e trascinante. Nel 1967 pubblicano la loro prima grande canzone Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens, e firmano un contratto per la Reprise, etichetta fondata nel 1960 da Frank Sinatra, che cercava più libertà d'espressione dalla sua etichetta storica, la Capitol Records. Il disco di oggi, che esce nel 1968, fu il primo di una band Inglese distribuito negli Stati Uniti dall'etichetta (che nel 1968 faceva già parte della Warner Bros.).
Music In A Doll's House passerà alla storia già solo per il titolo: infatti uscirà poche settimana prima del disco dei Beatles che John Lennon voleva chiamare con lo stesso titolo (che riprende il famoso testo teatrale di Henrik Ibsen nel 1879). Lennon fregato dall'accaduto decise poi di pubblicare il loro ultimo lavoro, un disco doppio, con la copertina bianca semplice e dal semplice titolo The Beatles (capolavoro immenso della storia della musica). Quello che rende quest'album tra i più enigmatici e inventivi di quegli anni è che fu, all'atto pratico, l'anello di congiunzione storico-musicale per quello che pochi mesi dopo diventerà il progressive. Prodotto da Dave Mason dei Traffic (Inizialmente l'album avrebbe dovuto essere prodotto da Jimmy Miller, ma quest'ultimo era già impegnato nelle registrazioni di un altro capolavoro, Beggars Banquet dei Rolling Stones), il disco sciorina in 15 brani brevi (uno solo sopra i 4 minuti) una varietà incredibile di creatività, la musica della casa di bambole apre ogni volta stanze differenti: blues revival e canti gregoriani nella stessa canzone (la favolosa Old Songs New Songs), sanno giocare con il fascino dolciastro del r&b (Hey Mr Policeman), sanno suonare il miglior beat sound inglese, come i riferimenti a Kinks e Traffic di due gioielli come Me My Friend e la languida Mellowing Grey, passano con disinvoltura al folk rock (Peace Of Mind) senza disprezzare puntatine verso la psichedelia all'epoca nel fiore della sua potenza, con il sitar orientaleggiante di See Through Windows. E come dimenticare i violini e la voce "da brividi" che aprono The Voyage, prima di trasformarsi in un saltellante rock? O lo sgangherato God Save The Queen che chiude la circense 3 X Time? I brani sono intervallati da piccoli intermezzi strumentali, chiamati giustamente Variation: Variation On A Theme of Hey Mr. Policeman, Variation On A Theme Of The Breeze e Variation On A Theme Of Me My Friend. In Old Songs New Songs suonano non accreditati la band di Tubby Hayes, virtuoso del sassofono, e alcuni arrangiamenti per archi furono effettuati dall'allora 18enne Mike Batt, che diventerà in seguito grande produttore e per anni presidente dell'Industria Fonografica Inglese. La band gira a mille, usando strumenti all'epoca innovativi come il Mellotron suonato proprio da Dave Mason, il sassofono tenore e soprano di Jim King, il violino e il violoncello di Ric Grech (il quale l'anno dopo lascerà la band per suonare il basso nei Blind Faith assieme agli ex-Cream Eric Clapton e Ginger Baker e a Steve Winwood, in pausa dal suo progetto principale, i Traffic). Ma la vera bomba è la voce di Roger "Chappo" Chapman, un ruggito blues indimenticabile, dall'animalesca vocalità, che segnerà un'epoca, e farà moltissimi seguaci (Peter Gabriel dei Genesis, che nascevano proprio in quelle settimane, ne prenderà nota).
La carriera della band proseguirà per qualche anno ancora, fino al 1973, con grandi album (tra tutti Family Entertainment, Anyway e Fearless), con una delle copertine più belle degli anni '70 (il vecchio televisore anni '50, sagomato nell'edizione originale di Bandstand del 1972) e la nomea di band degli eccessi, idea questa che venne "prepotentemente" sottolineata dai racconti che una famosa groupie, Jenny Fabian, che nel suo romanzo Groupie non usò molta fantasia per nascondere i nomi dei nostri nel raccontare le pruriginose avventure dei nostri. L’ultimo concerto della Family avvenne al Politecnico di Leicester, il 13 ottobre del 1973, e si racconta che il party post concerto fu altrettanto memorabile. Degno finale di una delle più suggestive e talentuose formazioni musicali di quegli anni.

in s5, how do the writers start to show that byler themselves want to have sex?
mike sees will undressing for bed while staying at his
will sees mike coming out of the shower
they see each other batte training and it turns them on
they both fantasise while masturbating (off screen)
they share a bed and Think Thoughts
mike sleeps on the floor, will in his bed + they Think Thoughts
they just keep pining and gazing at each other
they hear other characters discussing sex
multiple of the above
Please note that the purpose of this blog is not to be creepy or to make anyone uncomfortable. That's why I created the #spicy byler tag (I will tag all polls with this). If you don't want to see this blog or anything related to it on your feed, please block that tag. Not everyone is comfortable with this sorta stuff, and that's okay.

A Cappella at the Rock (Newtown, PA) — VoicePlay live performances
The annual pop a cappella festival at Council Rock High School North consists of a day of workshops and master classes, followed by an evening competition, then a concert from a professional group that includes a special group number with all the students. In 2017, the featured professionals were VoicePlay (with Erik Winger as their substitute baritone). This event was the middle of a whirlwind weekend for the guys, but they always enjoy doing educational outreach.
Tumblr media
NOTE: The video quality for most of these recordings isn't great because the audience member was trying to be discreet and respectful of their neighbors. The audio is okay, though.
.
youtube
This clip is missing the very beginning of the song and a view of the guys, but you can definitely hear them.
Details:
title: Ride
original performers: Twenty One Pilots
written by: Tyler Joseph
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 1 April 2017
My favorite bits:
Eli, Earl, and Winger pulling off that fast harmonized patter live
that rapid-fire percussion Layne does behind ♫ "bullets coming through" ♫
Geoff wandering into the basement on ♫ "I'm falling sooooo" ♫
the gradual layering in the bridge
Eli's big old belts in the last section
Trivia:
This arrangement was originally the third video in their PartWork series, with just Eli, Geoff, and Layne covering all five parts.
.
youtube
The videographer managed to get a view of the stage in this one, albeit upside-down. The guys still sound as fantastic as always.
Details:
title: Aca Top 10 – Broadway
original songs: [0:07] "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q; [0:35] "Sherry" from Jersey Boys; [0:50] "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast; [1:14] "Seasons of Love" from Rent; [1:33] "Master of the House" from Les Miserables; [1:50] "All That Jazz" from Chicago; [2:11] "He Lives In You" from The Lion King; [2:28] "Popular" from Wicked; [2:50] gentle mockery of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark; [2:53] "Phantom of the Opera" from Phantom of the Opera; [3:18] "Hello!" from The Book of Mormon

arranged by: Layne Stein & Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 1 April 2017
My favorite bits:
Layne's fun scampering percussion run at the end of Avenue Q
Winger and Eli doing their villager voices in "Belle"
the rising crescendo in "Seasons of Love"
the Spider-Man gag
Geoff's growled drop in "Phantom"
that big final ♫ "Hellooooo!" ♫
Trivia:
The guys recorded their video for this medley in September 2014, and performed it on the 2015 Sing-Off tour the following spring.
.
youtube
Although the view is peeking between other audience members, you can still see a bit of the guys' antics during this romp through nonsense lyrics and phonations.
Details:
title: A Crimpella
original songs / performers: [0:55] "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was); [1:11] "Witch Doctor" by Alvin & the Chipmunks; [1:19] "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; [1:23] "We Go Together" from Grease!; [1:30] “Motownphilly” by Boyz II Men; [1:38] "Imma Be" by the Black Eyed Peas; [1:46] "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard; [1:49] "Shoop" by Salt N Pepa; [1:53] "Jock-A-Mo" (aka "Iko Iko") by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford; [2:03] "Mahna Mahna" from The Muppet Show; [2:14] "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" by Journey; [2:38] "Goofy Goober Rock" from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie; [2:41] "MMMBop" by Hanson; [2:53] "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede; [2:57] "Bawitdaba" by Kid Rock; [3:02] "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" by Neil Sedaka; [3:10] "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen; [3:25] "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga; [3:30] "Can't Get You Outta My Head" by Kylie Minogue;[3:36] "Limbo La La" by James Lloyd; [3:40] "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie; [3:57] "Wanna Be Starting Something" by Michael Jackson; [4:04] "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam
arranged by: VoicePlay
performance date: 1 April 2017
My favorite bits:
Geoff's extensive list of social media accounts before they start singing (and whoever clucks)
Eli getting launched into the air
the audience joining in with Winger before the rest of the guys return to their mics
using the final ♫ "Good-byyyyye" ♫ as their exit line
Trivia:
This medley was one of the earliest videos on their YouTube channel, and a staple of their live shows for many years.
.
youtube
For the final number of the night, the guys were joined on stage by the student groups to create an ocean of sound. (And this videographer was much less shy about capturing it for posterity.)
Details:
title: Don't Stop Believin'
original songs / performers: "Don't Stop Believin'"; [2:36] "Open Arms"; and [2:45] "Any Way You Want It" by Journey; [2:29] "Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry
written by: all songs written by Steve Perry in collaboration – "Don't Stop Believin'" with Jonathan Cain & Neal Schon; "Oh Sherrie" with Randy Goodrum, Craig Krampf, & Bill Cuomo; "Open Arms" with Jonathan Cain; "Any Way You Want It" with Neal Schon
arranged by: Layne Stein & Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 1 April 2017
My favorite bits:
all the kids dancing and connecting with each other
the guys turing around and dropping out during "on and on" to let the chorus shine
Earl's opt-up at the end of ♫ "searching" ♫
the layering of the polyphony section
Trivia:
This song has been part of their catalog since their 4:2:Five days. The earliest concert performance I've found is from a 2009 benefit concert at the University of Rochester.
They finally recorded a video for it when they were the featured artists at Camp A Cappella 2016.
This video was originally posted to Facebook by one of the parents of a student at Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, PA.

Release: January 19, 1979
Lyrics:
Is it a kind of a dream?
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of a shadow?
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Songwriter: Mike Batt
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
