Top 20 hit single on this day meaning the 9th of March in a yeah ending in fall. Down and cheese and b.b.c. 0 0 the big question is Where did the song lead you to was it no entry was it why you always say this why that why all the deny but it was I said bass anyway Number 2 it was their 2nd single the 1st one really of any note was a huge number one for them all that she wants is another bad bet as you probably know 994 Ace of Base on this die. The 9th of March at number 2 with the sign Now next up for Song number 3 of our 5 across the decades will take is for what I believe we might call in modern day parlance a bang in tune on the way in just a moment from 964 here on the light show at b.b.c. We'll share we are all over the place not like that like this high street has been completely taken over by ends up being told that the right to. Life of a short history physical came with. A screw it are you wearing I'm not sure what the point the microphone. Across well shall never idea and in that county to live from the area is the biggest of. Festivals we take you backstage. To it already you're right it's still in the sky. But for a trip across the decades tonight came from Dave Clark 5 am bits and pieces number 2 on the 9th of March in 1964 now this next song is a real treat Now you may not even of noticed in the past but let me tell you something on this day in 190984 rather the song we're going to play was at number 2 now here's the thing the original recording of it as being sort of lying around in a dusty vault for many many years and they've never really got round to remaster ing it and I always thought the original quality of the recording which we bore on a vinyl record back in the day in 1904 was not really that great at long last they finally got out the original tapes and they've cleaned them up so he's we've now got the chance to hear Cole in the gang and Joanna as a short of sounding. Every . The 1st. Musical trip on The Late Show across the decades and. In the morning on b.b.c. Will share from 6 where we'll be getting the very latest on events in Seoul as a former Russian double agent remains in hospital we'll be hearing the story of a woman who has inspired over 300 people to walk in will share this weekend and will be finding out why school pupils are descending on one set of will she. Lol Colts this weekend honestly your honor that I'm more with Graham Rogers in the morning right here from 6 on b.b.c. Will. Allen that leaves us with one song to play on a trip across the decades some. Banks of the year 2000 for the 9th of March alone number one song you. Can just. It's funny. When I said. It's going from doing last night. I should hasten to add that I love Scarborough I love Scarborough a lot but it's just that transition is so hard to read and it really Las Vegas the strip all the casinos and scalpers see from Bush well as long as the weather's nice to be absolutely great well I don't suppose it matters that we like going to anyway Britney Spears then our final song of 5 on the light show as we go across the decades I'll do a little recap for you so song number one was handsome forward from 974 with Burn baby burn from 994 song number 2 was the sign from 1000. 64 it was the Dave Clark 5 in bits and pieces followed by Colin the gang and Joanna from 1984 in the final one from the 9th of March 2004 Britney Spears and toxic I still get the urge every time I say Britney Spears to say. But anyway you know it's one of those things which will collectively will compound that list of names which I've been threatening to for some time eventually so that the trip across the decades tonight will come back of course to that on Monday night's Late Show at around about 10 past 10 right we've got just a couple of minutes before we get stuck into tonight's topical tunes if you'd like to join us for that would just remind us of tomorrow night's classic rock n roll program.

To me she's a b.b.c. . So then Alex yes I have an email here from Sarah in Boardman coat Ok yes and she can't actually work out whether she meant to send the Smalling and did deliberately send it this morning following on from having heard maybe last night's program on the i Player and I don't know all whether in fact she sent it last night and it's only just arrived I have absolutely no idea but bearing in mind International Women's Day yesterday yep which we reflected on the programme blogs one often home in their living dozens and hundreds last night. Anyway the e-mail reads as follows evening Danielle and Alexandra now we should've thought of the action way she's better than a lot sharper than ours and she's actually not very well at the minute as a ridiculous they will into a conflict rate this is still not quite right but. Listening to you is good she says had not considered exactly how much care you put into the balance of your shows Thanks nice she says My edition of female arrivals at Lady was ladies what lunch because we said you know give us your nominations for 3 women who you would love to have lunch with but what she says is she says I do love flies and she said I'd love a tray of airplane flute food rather gone into Warner with a 1000000 hearts of course very much in the news as I mentioned last night and again it today and she says that she would like to know what what it is that made her so strong to do what she did it must mean so hard to continuously prove yourself as a human being which I think is a very interesting point but certainly would was lost not a very popular guest on The List is true to say so in their way Oh absolutely and we've done we've done with that to a degree although strangely enough we are coming back to International Women's Day in a roundabout way as you will discover in around about half an hour from now intrigued and it's great it's a really good story I discovered it too late to do it last night so decided to include it tonight so we should see right you ready for a musical challenge Tchiowa which we call topical Tunes This is where we give you the opportunity to suggest 3 pieces of music for us to play just after midnight I currently have gaps in the music after midnight at 10 past midnight 3 songs can go in there and they can be chosen by you but what we do every evening on The Late Show is to give you a story from the day's news we invite you to suggest up to a maximum of 3 tunes which in the recording they someway connect with the story of the day which we give you that's why it's called topical tunes and then what we do is we take every entry that qualifies for the list but into a little box and then we work out from that which we think will make their best and most interesting 3 to play after midnight tonight so you know suggesting the same old same old is not going to be likely to be our. As popular with me as it would be to come up with something which we don't hear quite so often so you know there is a little bit of guidance for you but anyway it's in your in your hands what you have to do is listen to the story I'm about to give you a brief one tonight and we want you to ensure that the songs you choose have some element of the story reflected in the title of your song or alternatively the artist's name we're turning out to get in touch in a short while but 1st here's tonight's story then a 20 year old American woman has been upset by staff at a pub in Devon who refused to serve her because they thought her id her American passport was fake Fiona Flynn was with her English boyfriend who was initially told it was company policy to only serve people with a British passport as identification when they needed to check the age of people in the pub now to avoid embarrassment Fiona Saturday table while her boyfriend went to get a drink when he returned to the table with the drinks he got a manager came over and took one of the drinks way offering the refund and just for the record it was because they were convinced she could not prove that she was of the age she said she was now it's an interesting story this because you can see both sides of it but it was a genuine American passport and not a fake one so. I don't know questions over how maybe this was handled but there is the story just for the record Fiona in case you think that she was probably under-age or something I should point out she was 20 as I mentioned in the introduction she had met her fella for a quick drink after work and she said the whole incident was just out rageous So there's the story but a sad one really in a strange way I mean when you go out for a drink in a pub and you look a bit young to be asked for your id you show it and then the answer is no she's American the bit of the story I didn't include by the way Alex is the fact that she has lived in this country since she was 5 years old so it was a. Hard to take Yeah that does put a different spin on it doesn't it jewel nationality so and she showed the American passport because what she carries with it anyway so topical tune We've got away all sorts of ways you can go at this and it really is down to you I can instantly think of one title which probably a lot of people would jump on but I should point out it's not quite as obvious you've got to really know that this song is there people of my age will probably know that but we'll see how we go if somebody comes up with this I'm likely to play it tonight we will say so what have you come up with nothing incredibly obvious springs to my mind but I've gone very straightforward I'm going to go with please believe me by any goading Oh you say no that works wonderfully well yes now you see this is how we can do it you can use a title which comments on the story and it is obviously something which could have sent them works very well Ok Alex thank you. Well it will be I would see all the time because you through glass that is very true you know to be patent about it but there it is. Within your rights. Yeah that's true and I walk came over me then I've no idea anyway Alex is going to be on the other end of the phone and you can contact us by text you can use email you can use Facebook you can use Twitter it's up to you which way you go. 5 all the lakes and 34590599.

Queen and you're my best friend Ok let's have a look and see what your early suggestions are now it's interesting because it gives a real insight into the musical tastes of our listeners as well very often with the choices that are made and who fall Who'd have thought looking at this list tonight that I would see everything from Kenya a Western Jay z. To let me see Toby Keith. And one or 2 people I've never even heard of before which is amazing so excellent stuff coming in let me give you some of the suggestions we've had so far and don't forget if you like to call Alex he's on the other end of 034-590-5949 right and tonight oh in most start with him he says what about band from pubs by Peter and the test tube babies now that is just the most ridiculous thing I've ever read but is obviously true because our Can't imagine somebody could make that up but I mean what's going to say Thank You got your other suggestions as well much appreciated We'll read as many as we can there let's go on then to Sylvia in Amesbury i.d.c. Now she's suggested a song by Toby Keith called drinks after work which I didn't even know existed some amazing and simply read and fake Yes that would work wonderfully well so I thank you very much indeed now Jane in Swindon has interestingly enough come up with a 11 example which I didn't anticipate coming but it's a belter and then in amongst it she's actually got 2 outstanding suggestions here money going to re one of them for now because a lot of people. I forgot about this Tony as Toria hit single 977 I can prove it excellent Jane well done other suggestions we've had from Tom in western Superman that King Cole and to young lyrically actually all the lyrics done counting the saw is only the title of the song and the artist name but the lyrics are really really appropriate as well so they're very very good on that one Tom and and g. In well suggests Hall and Oates and I can't go for that no can do or do one more l.a. So you go to have Romeo and suggestion of American Pie by Don McLean In fact I'll do one more hello to Martin Margaret together who are listening in Gloucestershire good to hear from you and suggesting well he says I'm an alien in New York by Sting but unfortunately it's called an Englishman in New York which is not quite sure that's quite right for the story but nevertheless it's great to hear from you both and I hope Margaret's doing well after being sort of under the doctor so to speak. Anyway as the light show our number is 034-510-5949 extension 2 get through to Alex Well. I was dancing in the street by Martha Reeves and the vandalism got a Tele I just source a gesture on the screen that I literally went wow that. Stuck I thought I was the only person on planet Earth who knew about bad company and here comes trouble. Ah well well well well well excellent suggestions excellent suggestions very very well done on that land and welcome to income by tour here. Paul in Swindon car mower on poor honestly. I pretend as O'Connor it qualifies but do you really think I'm going to play it come on do it. Pole. You know I sort of envisage Paul is sitting back at home at the moment with his feet up on the poof and he's sitting there at the moment you know with just reclining back laughing his socks off as he sits there in the smoking jacket with a glass of whiskey in his left hand going. To take the bait. Thank you for anyway right we'll get to more of your suggestions in the middest into time and you know get in touch on 81 trip or 3 if you'd like to text please don't forget the 1st word on your message which is Cheers c h i s e we need that on the front because that tells the b.b.c. Where to send it which inbox it's got to go into and if you don't put that on the front we simply don't receive it I don't even see it and if you'd like to e-mail it's Cheers c h i s at to b.b.c. Dot co dot u.k. And in addition to that you'll find me Twitter and Facebook just look for radio the Chiz all one word symbolism and now you know there were many casualties through last week's arctic blast which led to the cancellation of many events as I'm sure you know however one which I had not considered followed a conversation with a colleague who was heading off for her hen do with friends coming the length and breadth of the country to be a special event where you cannot imagine you simply cannot imagine what it must be like to spend months planning an event like that and then the weather intervenes as it did last weekend Well luckily I gather my colleagues event went ahead and everyone made it and they all had a fantastic time but I was reading in the bath Chronicle today the story of a bride to be who was not so lucky Juliet to Maine and 18 of her best girlfriends were looking forward to a weekend of pampering a venue a mansion in the West Country however the bridesmaids have been left 2 and a half 1000 pounds. Out of pocket after the snow storm last week made the roads impassable and so their dream weekend event was called off. So what was very disappointing for them was as they'd paid up front due to a clause in the contract about adverse weather conditions they were unable to reclaim even a partial refund honey magine how they felt you know especially as the girls who clubbed together to take their bride away for the weekend and yes it is true that anyone organizing events like this is wise to take out holiday insurance to protect against such unexpected nightmares but even so now we're feel that was such a disappointing response from the venue. It's amazing how many people you meet. Me and my dog wants to meet as many of you as possible I need your help to reach my target of 101 dogs. Across runaway Hill devices. If you don't have a dog just for a friend and if you don't want to for a friend just come from anyway takes place on Sunday the 18th of March. And it's completely free. With. 80. I don't think. For the moment I have got a cold dry whistling round my legs. Like I've got my own version of. The studio going on around. Us. Really great suggestions but. I'm sure you could do something if you don't know what the story is because you've been doing something else then. And have a look at the store. Very quickly on the Facebook page and then make a decision of which songs it is but you've only got 5 minutes to do it let me see if we can inspire you a little I'm amazed if the one the one thing I was talking about the song I was talking about earlier has not produced the song I'm still waiting for which is really taking me by surprise but anyway Marian intro bridge suggests amongst her those go now by Moody Blues Jenny suggests I won't back down by Tom Petty we've got several songs by Tom Petty suggested tonight I actually wonder how much he's guitar went for at that auction everybody's talking about the Clapton guitar which 25000 last night and yet the real story was actually the fact that somebody got a Tom Petty guitar well one signed by Tom Petty up for auction I wonder how much that nobody's talked about it no idea and that for me was a bigger story because he died a few months ago and you would have thought that would have been the one drawing the money Barry why they go maybe I know nothing Gene says what about Whitney Houston and I have nothing and well remembered on a legal matter by The Who by the way Jane in Yeoville suggest Don't Stop Believin by Journey also Carrie Underwood and don't stop no but I'm saying Carrie Underwood and an all american know it's all American girl isn't it so many songs with similar titles other suggestions are we doing for time are not well enough actually choose because it's time to shut up about. Time to show them once again oh by the way cathing crew can thank you for your suggestions nobody knows is great but it was actually by the time you reach project produced by baby face so good one will include that thank you.
