I just youtubed Solisbury Hill--I had heard it before but had no idea what it was called. Good song.

Stealth, HWW, so glad you could both make it.
Luke, Cindy, please fetch a libation for Ms. Stealth and Mr. Wanders.

CJ! It's always a pleasure! And Deddy! I'm so glad to see you!
Daniel, please see to Mr Taylor's beverage choice. Amanda, please get something for Mr Dedman to drink.

Luke's cute, but I'm looking to get lucky with Deirdre, especially after BB rejected her.
Huey, glad I could help you put a name to a song you like.
Oh, good, the karaoke machine's finally here. Let the flood of cheeseball pop classics begin. I'll kick things off with this bit of ear-candy from Sheena:
"Wake up every morning Stumble out of bed Stretching and a-yawning Another day ahead..."

And since you mentioned Sweet on your thread, I'm gearing up the karaoke machine for this song.

Great choice! Ahh, Brian Connolly's swan song with the band. Reportedly, Connolly was very proud of the high notes he was able to hit on "Love is Like Oxygen", because his voice had been damaged a couple years earlier, after a blow to the throat during a brawl (not, I emphasize, with any of his bandmates.)
I have a personal interest in the band as one of the first records I ever owned was "Little Willy." Two years later, Sweet had two more irresistable hits with "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox On the Run." In spite of the success of those records, little information about Sweet was available in the U.S. (or at least in my midwestern section of it). They seemed to appear every couple of years with another smash hit, then disappear for awhile. After "Oxygen" in 1978, they disappeared for good. (Thanks to rock encyclopedias, I was eventually able to learn their story.)
Getting to watch their old videos on YouTube is like seeing the half of my childhood that I missed.

(Stealth hears He Who Wanders say her name, then stumbles out of the guest bedroom, accompanied close behind by Deirdre. Both look very happy.)
Hm? Oh, the Sweet. Yeah.
My favorite Sweet single is "Blockbuster."
My favorite Sweet album track is "Set Me Free."
Let's put "Blockbuster" on the karaoke machine.
"DOES ANYONE KNOW THE WAY? DID WE HEAR SOMEONE SAY...? WEEEEE JUST HAAAVEN'T GOT A CLUUUUE WHAT TO DOOOOOOO! DOES ANYONE KNOW THE WAY? THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY... ...TO BLOCKBUSTEEEEEEEER"

Gee, if you've been in the bedroom all this time, who was that I was talking to?!

And speaking of chandeliers, it's time for me to do my impression of Scarlett Johansson's character from Saturday Night Live, who helps her parents advertise their chandelier business.
