Dusty Springfield

or Edith Piaf

Debbie Harry, Nico or Rita Hayworth singing 'Put the blame on mame" with gloves et al. Any of those would require wearing a big wig, which is something I love about fancy dresses, don't know why!

I was thinking of asking this very question! My friends and I use it to express our moods, eg. "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be.... Morrissey" = I feel moody and unloved; "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be.... Lauren Laverne" = I feel deadpan and glittery and "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be.... Esther Williams/Brian May/him from the Everley Brothers" = I feel really random and bizarre.

I actually have to choose a "pop" song to sing in 4 weeks time. it's just piano accompaniament (sp?) -- at the moment I am thinking of singing either Lamb's Gorecki or Dusty Springfield (Carole King)'s Going Back. I have to get the sheet music either way.

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 10:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Go for Going Back - you want something people know that will suit you.

Me, well tonight Matthew I'll be Father Abrahams.

Eartha Kitt, grrrr!

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 10:56 (twenty-three years ago)

GOing Back is for when I realise that the Lamb song really sounds a bit rub and repetitious with just a piano, but I think I could carry it off, hem hem, (in another octave, obv).

Andrew Ridgley!

Get the Byrds version if you want some male range pointers, Alan.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 11:23 (twenty-three years ago)

But I've already got the wig to do it Dusty style :-(

me Jonnie and Dave were once going to be Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black mambazo doing "homeless" as Dave sings the harmonies so well.

Joe Longthorne. He's the only person in the entire universe that is worse at singing than I am. Although apparently Bill Tarmey has had more that one album out.... oh, the choices.

James McNew in Dump incarnation (since I refuse to be Howard Stern, for fuck's sake).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Ideally Debbie Harry. Probably Tori Amos.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea, but Rod Stewart.

Which brings us to Underworld's fascination with the show, and the alleged fact that Beaucoup Fish was at one point going to be called "Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be Underworld"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 14:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, I had fantasies about Julio turning up and saying "Tonight Matthew, I am going to be ... Derek Bailey!" Perhaps Marcello could do this?

I'd be Louis Prima, as middle-aged, out of shape and funny is my best bet.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Jim O'Rourke, alas.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't apologize, Tom, he was looking great at the Sonic Youth show.

he is a member of the socialist worker's party (IT'S TRUE!!) (actually it may be the RCP or the WRP, i've never pinned it down)

Blimey, what next, Jeremy Beadle in the CPGB(M-L)?

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

flamin mongrel pinkoes!

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 23:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Beadle used to put on rock festivals in the early 70s with people like Beefheart on the bill. FACT etc.

― Venga, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 23:25 (twenty-three years ago)

And, er, I'd want to be Chris Lowe (if he'd spent the previous week in a pie shop alas).

― Venga, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 23:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Ideally Richard Harris. Probably Bonnie Raitt.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 23:29 (twenty-three years ago)

is it me, or does anyone else wish mathew would stop fondling the contestants?

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 02:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Stephen Merrit would be too easy. Keiji Haino would be too hard.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 03:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Haino would be easy for halloween tho! embarrassing tho', unless you would not be embarrassed looking like a jim morrison fan goth.

― spectra, Wednesday, 30 October 2002 05:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I would want to be Tiny Tim as produced by Lee Perry instead of Richard Perry.

Or perhaps even Einar Orn!

― Ashley Andel, Wednesday, 30 October 2002 06:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Odelay era Beck. I've already got the cowboy hat!

― kate, Wednesday, 30 October 2002 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

''Haino would be easy for halloween tho! embarrassing tho', unless you would not be embarrassed looking like a jim morrison fan goth.''

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 13:46 (twenty-three years ago)

No! Wait! Forget Haino! I wanna be Heino!
