Entertainment For Lively Minds
2 becomes 1
In the spirit of The Spice Girls classic I feel the old site needs group hug moment. Following the Bargepole crisis came Mr Crowthers thanks to us all, a reminder of the camaraderie required when this many men and women of a certain age come together. I hope the current Archie Valparaiso / Middlerabbit situation can come to a peaceful end and I hope my attempt at a distraction can divert attention back to a less confrontational mood.
Music brings us together, I'm sure that's why we all spend so much of our time here and nothing evokes the spirit of musical harmony like a good duet. It would be good to hear Archie and Middle do a version of "Something Stupid" ala Robbie and Nicole. My duet of choice would be this, what's yours?

Well, as it's (almost) the season...
Aw, shucks...(something in my eye).
I'm Kenny, ok?
"Jackson" - Nancy and Lee
Of course, with this song I could be Johnny of Johnny and June, but actually I'd rather be Lee of Nancy and Lee. Hotter than a prefab sprout:
Archie!?
Keith n Toots
If your cooking ain't greasy...Dave Edmunds & Carlene Carter
Obviously
missed something here. I've always found Archie to be an amenable sort of chap, but don't remember ever seeing the musings of Mr Rabbit....could someone please point me to the scene of the dust up so I can indulge in some mindless voyeurism?
It's Here

Take your time. There's a lot in it!
Thanks Iain
Was looking for a thread entitled "Archie - he's a ****" so no wonder I didn't spot it!
Just
skim read it...couldn't do the whole thread as
a) my lips would ache after trying to pronounce all the long words;
b) I'm 50 and don't have that much lifespan left; and
c) lost my will to live anyway.
I think a number of participants just got carried away. I can only hope that, having apparently shooed Archie away, Mr Rabbit proves to be a suitable replacement in the wit and pith departments.
The floor is yours.............
Surely, continuing Archie's western theme...?
Gram and Emmylou...
Slightly off the point, but
when a snippet of Elton & Kiki's video was played on one of Channel 4's "Top 10" clipathon shows a few years back, I laughed mightily when the voiceover referred sarcastically to its "bleak, impenetrable symbolism".
Good Lovin’ Ain’t Easy To Come By
And nor are nice, friendly web communities full of daft diversions that make the days a wee bit more enjoyable than they otherwise might be. Stick around Archie, you’re amongst friends here.
Iggy & Debbie
Rooty toot.
"The Apple Tree" by Peter and the Wolf
A sweet little duet about relaxing in the garden:
Lisa Hannigan and Gary Lightbody - Some surprise
It's more like a collegiate thing, I feel...
Don't go there
I have been listening to a CD in the car today that features two of the tracks above - Islands In The Stream and Don't Go Breaking My Heart. In the interests of peace, love and harmony I will not post these particular tracks by Pete & Katie but perhaps we could keep them close in our hearts and thoughts tonight...
Alright I picked up the wrong CD this morning. A simple mistake any fool can make. It should have been the Hanson Christmas CD. Doh!
Todd says...
It Takes Two
It Takes These Two
Cliff and Cilla; the band Elton and Kiki could have been if they'd stuck at it.
Which version do I prefer?
Hmmm ...
thank you
i just learned the opposite of sexy
A lorra gas
"Life's A Gas" with our Marc 'n' our Cilla.
Elis and Tom
Dean Friedman and Denise Marsa
Perfect for the occasion
As its nearly that time I'm not going to mention
Take it away, Tony and James
Katie & Peter
No, not THEM, these guys
That's possibly a little *too* intense for
an Archie/Middlerabbit 'make up' duet
I remember
going to see Peter Gabriel somewhere big in London (Earls Court, possibly)during the So tour. During that song, which I was fully expecting him to sing both parts of, right on cue - there was Kate. On stage. Singing. How we cheered:-)
Spotify version
by Willie Nelson & Sinead O'Connor

Come on you lot -
this one beats them all into a cocked hat (whatever that means)
Jesus & Mary & Hope
"Sometimes Always" by the Jesus & Mary Chain with Hope Sandoval.
Maya Angelou & Jessica Mitford - "Right Said Fred"
Surely the most baffling record of all time. Certainly the most disconcerting duet:

I thought you were joking
That is the most remarkable thing I have ever heard in my life.
Agreed.
I can die happy now. This world holds no further surprises.
Cheryl Cole and Snow Patrol
Er,
(dons pith helmet) that's actually pretty good isn't it? Part of me quite likes, in a Paul Morley style, that a song as bizarre as 'set the fire to the third bar' is mainstream entertainment. Not bad singing from Ms. Cole either.
I watched it
with the wife earlier on The Children In Need special and thanks to the wonder of Youtube was able to post it here the same evening. In the spirit of this thread at the end of a very strange day I agree with you Dougie it IS pretty good, strangely hypnotic and just goes to show that you should never judge a book by it's cover, in fact it's unadvisable!
I miss him so much I went and named my child Archie
Innocent when you dream
Neil MacColl and Kathryn Williams. Better than Tom
