Subject: Songs with a connection - all connected now!
OK, you've got all of them now - so what's the connection?
They're all songs I've done parodies to (to which I have written parodies?) mniKenny (though I have a feeling Taoist spotted the link kind of quickly ;-))
1. Spring clean for the May Queen
Stairway to Heaven Taoist
2. Your mind is not your own
Addicted to Love Taoist
3. I've seen him drink his bath as well
The Window Cleaner Indy Gent
4. In a cowslip bell I lie
Ariel's song from A Midsummer Night's Dream Taoist
5. Vegetable, animal, and mineral
The Major-General's Song Taoist
6. They're falling one by one
Out In The Fields Taoist (again)
7. Stone me and spit in my eye
Bohemian Rhapsody FBVP
8. I should have thrown away the key
I Will Survive Tao (yet again)
9. Where the grass is green
Paradise City Jonman
10.Bouncing to the left and to the right
Big Balls FBVP
...The tiebreaker is: what do nine of the above have in common?
Subject: Re: Songs with a connection
1. Stairway to heaven, Led Zeppelin. - Revenge
2. Addicted to love, Robert Palmer - Allergic to cats
6. Out in the fields, Gary Moore - Out in the fields
8. I will survive, Gloria Gaynor - I will survive
lol....I know what they have in common but I'll leave something for other ppl to do ;D

Correct.
I'm not going to be able to post anything till next Thursday (going to prison in Liverpool again), so if anyone guesses the next two, you'll just have to ask Taoist if you're right... he'll probably be able to guess.
Turned out nice again*.

*That's a clue, BTW

I was going to write a Dilbertian Rhapsody, and emailed Scott Adams asking for permission to use Dilbert in a parody. Unfortunately, he basically said that United Media hold the Dilbert copyright, and don't like Dilbert characters being used... I'm not sure whether to ditch the BR parody, and an "Itchycoo Park" parody based on my (and pretty much everyone's) favourite Dilbert strip - you know the one where the PHB's laptop turns out to be an etch-a-sketch; or whether to publish and be damned, so to speak.
