Hi ‘Spillers, it’s time to start earning more of those valuable ‘Spill points again.
But remember;
Your ‘Spill points will not be brought to you by Xerox in 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
Your ‘Spill points will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
Your ‘Spill points will not be televised.
Your ‘Spill points will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. Your ‘Spill points will not give your mouth sex appeal.
Your ‘Spill points will not be televised.
Anyway, there are a dozen intros from songs, some pretty well known, others maybe less so.
Over to you.
Enjoyed listening, Carole, but not much recognition, bar Communards not wanting to be left that way. A couple of others were familiar sounding, and I recognise a talking voice from downunder. Look forward to more knowledgeable folk revealing all…now, back to some serious work on my tan, on the mothership!
I recognise 3 but can only name the Communards. Sad indictment of my musical knowledge, I’m afraid.
The Jesus & Mary Chain at the end? Some Candy Talking probably – but have to get baby to sleep, so can’t double check.
1. Japan
2. Communards – Don’t Leave Me This Way
Um, lost track of the numbers …
The Japan song is The Art Of Parties
Isn’t 3. Rolf Harris?
4. is annoying me, as I reckon I should know it, but I don’t.
5. Depeche Mode?
6. Gladys Knight?
7. Deffo in my collection, possibly even on my Walkman, but is dancing round me like a puppy that doesn’t want its bath. C’mere, y’little sod!
8. Nope.
9. No again.
10. Not a clue.
11. WTF?
12. If this is J&MC, it isn’t anything I own, which includes Some Candy Talking.
Nah, you got me beat this time Carole.
I’ll get back to you on #7, but that’s almost certainly it.
I’ll have to get back to 12 then…
All I have is Stoned & Dethroned and 21 Singles, if that helps.
Oh I have a bloody wheelbarrow full – 21 singles is all i have on the computer tho…
1 is Japan and The Art Of Parties
2 is The Communards and Don’t Leave Me This Way
12 is JAMC, but we still need the right tune
The rest is still up for grabs.
Hint – the voice is Rolf but he isn’t the artist.
Rolf usually works with Ms. Kate Bush – it would be topical!
can you tell I’m guessing?
You could be onto something there, Shane.
5. Stylo – Gorillaz
8. Season Of The Witch – godknowswho
12. Taste Of Cindy?
3. sounds like Black Rebel Motorthingy ….
Albahooky snaffles a few more ‘Spill points.
So far we definitely have;
1 Japan and The Art Of Parties
2 The Communards and Don’t Leave Me This Way
3 ?
4 ?
5 Gorrilaz and Stylo
6 ?
7 ?
8 ????? and Season Of The Witch
9 ?
10 ?
11 ?
12 JAMC and Taste Of Cindy
Stereotyping myself somewhat but I can only help with Number 6. It’s Work To Do and since the Isleys’ version has a more piano-based intro and this is quite horny, I’d have to say it’s the Average White Band.
100% correct there!
Is there a Joe Walsh Funk No 48 or maybe 49 in there somewhere?
Time for some wild guesses and to show my ignorance, big time.
Number 3 is Kate Bush – the Painter’s Link, I own that.
Number 8 is by Kooper, Bloomfield and Stills, I love the bass, so grooovy, great version.
Now for am I in the right area guesses,
9 – is it Killing Joke? I feel I should know it
10 – made me think of the Creatures am I in the right ball park?
11- reminded me of the Orb, but I am very vague about them
I don’t know what 7 is, but I’d like to listen to the rest of it when someone guesses.
Fun quiz
7 is Lynyrd Skynyrd – Poison Whiskey from their debut album.
Took me most of the two hours Darcey was at a party this afternoon messing with my Walkman and my mobile’s crappy internet to figure that out.
Oh! I didn’t know I liked Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Ooh great work here people, we now have
1 Japan and The Art Of Parties
2 The Communards and Don’t Leave Me This Way
3 Kate Bush
4 ?
5 Gorrilaz and Stylo
6 ?
7 Lynyrd Skynyrd – Poison Whiskey

12 JAMC and Taste Of Cindy
Oops – 3 is Kate Bush and An Architect’s Dream
Posted before typing there.
frickin ‘ell that’s really tough.
I recognised 2 & 12.
I feel I know 9 but it may just be familiar sounding.
10 is a weird track off the foxbase alpha – st ettiene album I think (??) – some sort of card game is going on. I’d have to check what it’s called though.

If nobody gets the last three and a half I will post the answers tomorrow evening.
I now know the answer to No.4, but only because I got so annoyed at it I Shazammed it!!
So I won’t claim anything or even give the game away about it, except to say that I don’t own it, so never would have got there.

Fortunately, my legs are unbruised as there turned out to be nothing in there I had to kick myself about.
