It's the Viacom benefit ALPHABETICAL DISCO!

Welcome to this week's disco which is by popular acclamation a benefit for Viacom who are being driven out of business because some of their clips have been on YouTube. Anyway, there'll be a collection at some point in aid of their boss Sumner Redstone because he's down to his last nine billion dollars.

We have a format here. It's Alphabetical and the alphabet system we follow is as would be adopted by a record shop. That is, in the case of a solo artist, it's the surname. In the case of a group it's "B" for "Beatles" rather than "T" for "The".

I'm going first with Aerosmith. Who's next with a B?

For anyone going to Cornbury...

don't forget those wellies

It's not

But he's a member of a dynasty.

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:32pm

Is it

Michael Jackson?

Handsome.P.Wonderful | 4 July 2008 - 3:36pm

It's a Buckley,

I'll wager.

Vulpes Vulpes | 5 July 2008 - 10:19am

A wild, left field guess - a

A wild, left field guess - a very young Paul Rogers out of Free, Bad Company and Queen.

Scuse me, sir

I've got the afternoon off this week. Can I join in? Can I copy someone's homework so I know where we're up to? Or do I need a chit from matron?

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:30pm

Come on, Hare

We're on "N"

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:31pm
Commoner | 4 July 2008 - 3:32pm

Viacom

are coming to get you!!!

Gordon Kerr | 4 July 2008 - 3:56pm

Lerv Chrain!

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:34pm

Oops I peaked too soon

It's Hare's fault, sir. He was supposed to do "N", sir. And I was busy looking for my "O" in my satchel, sir, and thought he'd done it. I think a good board-rubbering is in order for Hare, sir, don't you, sir?

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:36pm

Drums fingers

Still waiting for N.

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:34pm

Oh

What was N then?

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:35pm

N, baby, N

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:36pm

Boo chiz

Some James Burton for teach in a weaselly attempt to get out of Big Trouble, that's just typical, Hare. I hope you get cuffed.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:39pm

Sir! Sir!

Tell Valparaiso no more pictures of the beach. It's not fair!

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:42pm

Nolans!

Come on, admit it. It's not that bad.

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:39pm

Gizza clue, sir

Is he English or American? Been on the Word cover?

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:42pm

Is it

Jeff Buckley, sir?

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:44pm

No

It's not.

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:46pm

How about

Tim?

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:47pm

CORRECT

Tim Buckley

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:49pm

Well done, Hare

Sneak. You'll get a phosphorus bomb in your satchel for this, minimum.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:50pm

John Phillips?

Of Mamas and Papas (the band that could have been Brotherhood of Man) fame?

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:47pm

Darn.

I knew this when you asked first Sir. I should have been paying attention.

Vulpes Vulpes | 5 July 2008 - 10:21am

Here you are, sir

Photobucket

Vile-Peas Vile-Peas, for the violently hurling at, sir.

Archie Valparaiso | 5 July 2008 - 11:01am

ooo I know this one!!


Blast too late!

muttnjeff | 4 July 2008 - 3:42pm

It's all Hare's fault, Mutt

He deserves to have his PE kit dispersed all over Big Side for this.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:43pm

Yes, we'll jolly well roast him for this.

Six of the best, trousers down, and a radish where the matron won't find it.

smurphy | 4 July 2008 - 3:45pm
smurphy | 4 July 2008 - 3:42pm

Admit it . . .

We're all stuck on Q, aren't we.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:49pm

Is this cheating?

Commoner | 4 July 2008 - 3:50pm

I was trying to avoid being

I was trying to avoid being greedy

Commoner | 4 July 2008 - 3:51pm

Handsome.P.Wonderful | 4 July 2008 - 3:51pm

Queen is to disco what . . .

Hare is to Not Cheating.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:53pm

Or Osibisa

Queen were a staple of my disco years. In all that time I never heard an Osibisa record.

Handsome.P.Wonderful | 4 July 2008 - 4:27pm

Simmer down, you boys

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 3:55pm
John Connolly | 4 July 2008 - 3:55pm

Tell him to stop picking on me, sir!

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 3:55pm

Pax!

But no more getting questions right if you want to sit on the back row in Geog on Monday.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 3:59pm

Quiz, ego and no returns.

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 4:03pm

Chris G | 4 July 2008 - 3:57pm

R is also for Ramone

R is also for Ramone


Andy Lynes | 4 July 2008 - 4:15pm

Everything OK in here, Mr Hepworth?

I can hear this noise all the way from the locker rooms, and you know I'll only have to clear up in here as well. Are the boys behaving?

Fraser Lewry | 4 July 2008 - 3:59pm

Ignore Mr Lewry, Sir

Just seen him in the assembly room

Gordon Kerr | 4 July 2008 - 4:07pm

Ah, stout caretaker!

Know anything beginning with S?

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 4:04pm

Hey, you lot

Heppo's gone for a slash or something. Let's rock!

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 4:04pm

sssssssss

For S how about these brace of keen danceable tunes



Chris G | 4 July 2008 - 4:05pm

That Shirelles video is wonderful

They took the song to apply to wedding nights and not just a drunken lunge in a cab, didn't they?

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 4:08pm

one of the sailors looks like a young

michael eavis!!

Chris G | 4 July 2008 - 4:13pm

Oops he's back

Sorry, sir. I was just saying, sir, it's hot enough for a hippo, sir.

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 4:05pm

Valparaiso!

Have you got something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 4:06pm

If he's not back in fifteen minutes...

...we can take a cut! Careful of Mr Lewry, though.

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 4:06pm

In this context...

Lewry does not qualify for the honorific "Mr".
Like most school caretakers he is known as "Old Lewry".

David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 4:10pm

Old Lewry

They say he never sleeps and eats ants in the janitor's cupboard.

Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 4:12pm

Is it time for French?

But I'm going to tell about you and Matron

Gordon Kerr | 4 July 2008 - 4:17pm
