Duh.... will the Pontif be tossing pancakes tomorrow?

[HonaloochieB]

All I can say is the answer is right in front of you.

Which Terry Wogan had the good manners to play while I was enjoying my breakfast in Rock Steady Eddies at Camberwell this morning.

But it's not that one JB.

[Brendan]

A dried up prit-stick and a cup of something from a machine vaguely resembling coffee?

Is tossing pancakes some kind of euphemism gigirl?

[jaybee82]

Is there a MTH song called Honaloochie?

Nah - it's just pancake Tuesday tomorrow so I guess it's just me asking if the Pope is still Catholic. Sorry. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Getting there JB...

[jaybee82]

Does the next word begin with 'B'?

Ah yes but rather than being a peculiarly catholic tradition, Shrove Tuesday and eating pancakes is actually a British Isles tradition. A lot of the Catholic world tends to celebrate it as Mardi Gras which involves heavy drinking and taking our clothes off. This may or may not have something to do with the Pope tossing his pancakes. Anyway I knew what you meant I was just being silly. Is it Mott the Hoople?

[giggirl]

I don't want to steal Jaybe's thunder because he's done all the footwork, but my best guess would be The Honaloochie B song?

[HonaloochieB]

ASCLOSEASTHIS Giggi, nearly there...

[jaybee82]

Honaloochie Blues?

[HonaloochieB]

No JB. I'm off for the afternoon but will be back in the evening.

I expect to see the answer by then.

Show your working out too.

Come on, chop chop.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Are you the bugle boy of company B, HonB?

[jaybee82]

I think I'm going to concede defeat here

No you're not, JB I won't allow it. I can't.

I insist you identify the song that commences with the word 'Honaloochie' and the second word in the title begins with the letter 'B' and comprises six letters.

And it's by a group whose name is an anagram of Moth Poet Hotel.

(I wish I could claim credit for that, but it's actually a highly sought-after cover version LP of said group)

Now the clues are all there, just say what you see.

[????]

Honiie you know that I know this ;-)....Jeremy probably does too now

[Jah Lush]

Tut tut....I can't believe you guys didn't get this.

Honaloochie Boogie - Mott The Hoople.

[Jah Lush]

And the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warhead

if he dies he wants to go out in style

And there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink

of some human waste dumped in the Nile

Well done JL. I reckon the others knew too but were just indulging in teasage.

So over to your good self for the next set of lyrics.

Could I put in a preemptive bid for the group being The Faces?

I mean you never know.

[????]

Jah...I'm guessing I'm not far off you age wise...I knew it

[????]

It sounds like The The

[giggirl]

I sort of know this - it's from The New York Album. I bought this CD in New York when it first came out and I listened to it non-stop. Couldn't tell you the track without getting up and going downstairs and, to be honest, I just haven't got it in me right now to do that - I'm tucked up in bed (I lead a quiet life don't ya know). Anyway, it's Lou Reed, New York album.

[flapjackdavey]

Lou Reed ? pah

[Sue]

Sick of You - yes, Lou Reed
