"Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet."
By Yeats?
Sung by lots . Think Peter Pears,in a Cecil Sharp arrangement
Always wondered what this had to do with Salvation Army till I realised it was Sally as in willows.
Has this thread come to an end? Doesn't show up in the Circus listing 26th January. Or maybe I just can't see it.

There are lots of songs about being lucky or out of luck, but I don't know most of them. Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' song was a very catchy hit, although the content is questionable.

Which inevitably reminds me of the first time I heard that song, in a sample, from:
Stan - Eminem
Be warned - that clip is potentially triggering, contains disturbing domestic violence related content.

Darn it, missed my chance but I’ll post it anyway. I was tempted to post the Billy Connolly parody of D.I.V.O.R.C.E. but instead I went to this fun pastiche from Starlight Express:

Now, as for diamonds, I will grant you a boon:

During the Britpop era Blur were famously the bitter rivals of Oasis. Thanks to them, we Gen xers thought we'd 'Live Forever'. Youthful folly....

Mary Wells was the original artist and the line is Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy - the work of Smokey Robinson.

Thank you for the information about Mary Wells.
From the last post:

I am in a mood for gloom, and so associate this song with the very dark Mr Siegal by Tom Waites. It contains the line, "I shot the morning in the back with my red wings on, told the sun it better go back down..."

Cheer up , person from Romsey; it's a beautiful day in Geelong.
In fact:
I've got the sun in the morning , and the moon at night
No idea where it's from; maybe a bit of Rogers and Hammerstein?
Especially appropriate with the super orange moon, which was also blue, coupled with an eclipse. Astronomers were chortling with delight.

B]THE LONELY GOATHERD[/B]
Now this may seem a little of a stretch, but I thought;
"What do we do about a problem called Maria?" from Sound of Music,
and then: Climb every Mountain ,
and then : Edelweiss,
but ended with the lonely goatherd.

The trumpets we aren't hearing, because you didn't link to the song (like everyone else does).
All we hear is the Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
