Bluddy YouTubes down at the mo' but I'll post examples later when they're up again. What song would you like to hear 'folked-up', or what song would you like to have a go at folking up? I'd like to hear Steppenwolf's 'Pusher' for some reason. |

Otherwise check out The Jim Eldon Appreciation Society thread. Jim was doing Bat Out of Hell 20 years ago; his transplanting of the Boss's Dancing in the Dark into Thatcherite England remains a master stroke: Stuck in Maggie's England, They'll be carving you up all right; They say you got to stay hungry Well I'm just about starving tonight - Working for the Grocer's Daughter, I just can't feel proud of myself, We came like lambs to the slaughter Now I'm just stock upon her shelf. |
