I'll do them if you can wait until tomorrow - it's getting very late here .

Television Man - Talking Heads From the great album 'Little Creatures'. Don't y'all just love their outfits on the back of the CD?:

Looking good so far .

(from 'Fiddler on the Roof')Like Tevye, I can only dream of having "one long staircase just going up, and one even longer coming down, and one more leading nowhere, just for show". I know Zero Mostel originally played Tevye, but this is from the 1971 movie which starred Topol as Tevye - he was only 36 at the time. I got to see him play the part in London back in 1994. If the song is familiar, and you don't know why, maybe you remember Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit .

Continuing with the 'man' songs: Mention Georgia, Warner Bros., Schneider and the '80s, and it can only be ... Cindy (in the days when she was still brunette) takes lead vocals on this track from 1980. Several of the commenters on YouTube think this is their best song - it's certainly up there with the best.

Guest vocals on this track are by Phil Oakey of The Human League. It was written by Jarvis Cocker of Pulp.

I'm going to go for: Buck Owens Riverton County Sunset Lake I'm fairly sure of the first two, the last was a guess .

To give y'all an idea of how much things have changed in the world of motorsport safety over the last 50 years I thought I'd post this video. It's a BBC documentary about how the drivers of the '60s and '70s brought about many of the safety precautions and procedures we see today across a variety of motor racing. It starts with three-time F1 World Champion Jackie Stewart explaining that when he started racing there was a 2 out of 3 chance he'd die. He became one of the leading advocates of race safety. It's because of people like him that the tragic events at Las Vegas yesterday are almost unheard of these days. Grand Prix - The Killer Years Warning: contains real accident footage.

Smooth - Santana feat. Rob Thomas

Great bit of rock Brian \m/(>.<)\m/ And now (as Monty Python would say), something completely different. A very English comedy song from the 1964 album 'At the Drop of Another Hat', portrayed here in Lego. Does anyone fancy doing songs with 'man' in the title for a bit?.

A bit of English folk from 1987 for y'all. I could only find recent live versions of this on YouTube, and this was the best. I saw them live twice in the early '90s - glad to see they're still going.

Thanks for passing on the news Garrett. I've been watching various other motorsport this weekend, and didn't get a chance to see the race. It looks like a horrendous accident, and it's lucky more weren't badly hurt. Here is USA Today's article on the accident. Motorsport, and open-wheeled racing in particluar, has become so safe these days that this kind of news comes as such a great shock. Let's remember Dan's 2nd time of winning the Indy 500 earlier this year: RIP. Daniel Clive "Dan" Wheldon (22 June 1978 – 16 October 2011)

I tried to get in before lost_sheep, but never mind ... It's all here: red double-decker buses; red phone boxes; Punch and Judy; brass bands; Union Jack shorts. It looks like this video's director has been doing an English version of the The Cliche Challenge! . Thank you .

Or if you'd prefer, the live jazz version by the Ramsey Lewis Trio which also came out in 1965. According to Wikipedia: Murphy's four albums produced a total of thirteen singles on the country charts, including the Number One hit "Dust on the Bottle" from 1995 and four more Top Ten hits. Although he has not recorded since 2004, Murphy has co-written several singles for other artists, including the Number One hits "Living in Fast Forward" for Kenny Chesney and "Big Green Tractor" for Jason Aldean. I know that both the Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean songs have been posted in this thread.

This is fantastic - I can't wait to see how the build progresses. What software package did you use to create this?. Also, well done for identifying the gas pumps. I knew they were Tokheim, but not the model. I have vectorized artwork for the Hoggoco and Tokheim logos if they are any use for your model.

Nice to hear the original again - I'm more familiar with the Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin version from 1981 (it's not the same Dave Stewart that was in the Eurythmics).

I Hung My Head - Johnny Cash I can't find a video for this either. As usual Johnny Cash does a song better than the original, in this case by Sting. It's there if you know where to look . The video features Martin Sheen and his son, Ramon Estevez: It's All In Your Head - Diamond Rio (Official Video)

Push bars are usually available on ebay, although there were none for sale when I checked last week. I've just checked again and there's now two for sale; a kit for $349 and an assembled, but unpainted one for $399. These are more expensive than the second link posted by MaryAnne (I couldn't find a price for the first), but both are meant to be replica General Lee push bars rather than generic ones. The link below is an ebay search for 'general lee push bar', so the results will change over time: ebay search for 'general lee push bar' There is a link on the page for the assembled version that goes to the company's own website (Smith Bros. Restorations) where the push bar (narrow version) is available $100 cheaper ie. $299 incl. shipping to the lower 48. If you search around you can also find the wide push bar on their site for $399.99: Smith Bros. narrow push bar Smith Bros. wide push bar There's a few other parts that may interest you on their General Lee page, including a roll bar and seat covers: General Lee parts

These three bloopers all fall into the category of visible equipment, ie. equipment that should be out of sight. In 'Gold Fever' this car flips during the chase scene with Dr. Homer Willis's RV. The explosion blows away the foliage that was covering the pipe ramp, leaving it exposed. In 'Duke vs. Duke' Flash raises her ears when Rosco tries to jump to victory at the end of the race. It doesn't come out too well in this screengrab, but if you watch the scene you can clearly see that there's a thin black wire pulling the ears up (I've arrowed the visible one on the left ear). In 'Ding, Dong, the Boss Is Dead' the Dukes have to stop Boss's runaway coffin. The coffin then sails through the air and ends up in a tree/bush. In the long shot there is no tree/bush anywhere near the spot where the General blocks the coffin's path. Additionally, the coffin follows an arced trajectory due to the fact that it's swinging on a very obvious cable.

I've posted the full video, but the song (as it appeared on the album) doesn't start until about 50 seconds in. The guest vocalist, and disembodied head in the video, is Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. I've read in a couple of places that the song was going to called 'It's There', but Shaun's strong Manchester accent made it sound like 'It's Dare' so they changed the name. To keep in with the Japanese theme, the single was titled '挑戦 (Dare)'.

Slightly unusual, mainly spoken track from Damon Albarn's other band. I've had this CD for several years, but until I looked up the video I never realised that the narrator was Dennis Hopper.

Here's a couple of screengrabs to illustrate CD's point. Firstly, this is Floyd and Bubba's Blue Nova: And here's the parked car (on the left), looking suspiciously similar, and seen just a few seconds after they were meant to have driven off. Just to add another blooper from the same scene, the back projection used as Bo and Luke pull up to protect Boss clearly shows 'Seth M. Berley & Co.', which got replaced in season 5.

Back to the mid '80s again
