The Last Live Drive Link Up!
The last ever Live Drive Link-Up on John Mc's last ever day with us. It could only be fitting to play "We All Stand Together" aka "The Frog Song" to send both of them off!
Where did the link go? Well, it went a little like this:
Hi sarah. Simple link, the frog song (we all stand together) is so good it's bad, so call the police, i can't stand losing you for john the brave. Ray

The Frog Song to: "Jerimiah Was A Bullfrog" by Three Dog Night to: The Bonzo Dog Band's "The Intro And The Outro" john the us expat
We all stand 2gether > stand > by REM > wots de frequency kenneth {ken} (ken from meath)
Frog song is John Favourite song John is leaving today play Yazoo Don't Go nicknameless
The Frog song to it's not easy being green by Kermit the Frog-MUSICMAN
We all stand together, except the tough who always get going, when the going gets tough, like John Mc - Rachel
If we all stand together does that mean we can look forward to Return of the Mac? Good luck John. Col
Poor mack wanted the frog chorus for the first few weeks of the linkup competition, Sinatra sang mack the knife and he also sang my way, covered by jonny rotten which would be a great send off song for John, Mark
Linkup-the frog song. Paul Mac wrote this he also wrote live and let die, guns and roses did a great cover of this but they also did don't cry, which is the message of the day. Mack
We all stand together to i saw her standing there by the beatles who sing drive my car to let the monkey drive by sparks. Cosmo seinfeld
The frog song 2 kermit the frog who was green, the riddler wore green aswell and his enemy was batman so play here comes your man by the pixies (for john) TEJ

Thursday's Live Drive Link-Up
The Live Drive Link Up this morning was, Garbage's "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" as lead singer Shirley Manson is 44!
Well believe it or not, but it was linked to Guns N' Roses' You Could Be Mine.
Here how Gavin did it!
Shirley from garbage was in the Terminator tv series (as a terminator) & terminator was a film too. Guns n roses did theme in T2 so play U Could Be Mine. Gavin
The Best Of The Rest Of The Texts
"Only Happy When it Rains" to "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen. Neither Leonard nor Shirley sound very happy. john the us expat
Garbage is another word for trash. With poetic licence I get thrash metal which is epitomized by Metallica. I'm only happy when it rains is 'Sad but True' so how about that track? Col.
I'm only happy when it rains 2 its raining again by supertramp who sang the logical song. Logical was a favorite saying of mr spock who was in star trek so play the common people by william shatner (as a tribute 2 john) TEJ
Garbage did the worst ever 007 theme, the best one was by Carly Simon, so play The Spy who loved me!
Butch whatshisface was in Garbage and he produced Nirvanas Nevermind. Courtney Love married to Kurt was in Hole, as was Melissa Auf Der Maur who played in the Smashing Pumkins for a bit. Forget that though cos she also dated Dave Grohl who played with Lemmy in Probot so play Ace Of Spades by Motorhead. TallaforniaMan has a sore head after that one
Garbages shirley Manson to shirley valentine to blue valentine by tom waits
Only happy when it rains suggests that she is pad when it's sunny. How about playing the Jackson 5 as they feel the opposite as "there ain't on sunshine" when they are sad. Thanks, Keith.
Only Happy When It Rains leads to Its Raining Men, thats when I'm happy :-) Mathew
Garbage.. Oscar the Grouch lived in a Garbage can. Oscar was the original muppet on Seasme Street play that Muppet song for Anima :) nicknameless
Garbage is rubbish so play something by oasis. Actually dont. Forget i said anything. Cosmo seinfeld
Linkup- simple one november rain a guns and roses. Mack
Shirley manson plays a terminator in the sarah connor chronicles. Guns n roses were on the terminator 2 soundtrack. You could play paradise city. Cosmo seinfeld
If she's only happy when it rains then play make it rain by tom waits
Well believe it or not, but it was linked to Guns N' Roses' You Could Be Mine.

Wednesday's Live Drive link-Up
This morning's Live Drive Link-Up came to us this morning from The Buggles' legendary "Video Killed The Radio Star", with keyboardist Geoff Downes being 58 today.
It was a potential mind-Buggles-er but not for you clever people. Nicole was astounded by Col's link which incorporated Live Drive so he was the winner. Here's how he did it.
Video killed the radio star. You need a tv to play the video, but you also want to listen to Live Drive on the radio. To do both you can put your 'TV on the Radio' so how about something by them. Col.
And The Best Of The Rest:
John peel was a radio star. I miss him much. Play miss you by the stones. Annie
Video killed the radio star, but they'll always be together in Electric Dreams! MG-Girlie
Guess who else sang about radio? Yep, fab Donna Summer.. So play "On the Radio". Bill
Buggles rhymes with Muggles which are non magical folk in Harry Potter. Harry is a student wizard so play some Wizard. :-) Thanks, Keith.
Barry White is a radio and video star and rather than killing anyone HE saved my life so play Fun Loving Criminals. :-) Thanks, Keith.
Buggles with. Video killed the radio star to Gerry Ryan who was a huge radio star who died this year who has a daughter called bonnie to bonnie Tyler total eclipse of the heart .. From disco stu
Video killed the radio star to what's the frequency Kenneth by rem .. From disco stu
Buggles singer was Trevor Horn who was head of ZTT records links Frankie goes to Hollywood links Marina and the Diamond song Hollywood. nicknameless
Video killed the radio star, but while the run always shines on tv, we're all radio ga ga! Alison
Linkup. It was the first music video to be played on mtv. One of the artists from the monkey's (dave) was the main person behind mtv so any chance of the monkeys theme tune or there is another song about another animal called the frog song. Mack
"Video" killed the "radio" star; "radio" ga ga by Queen which i tink was one of de 1st "videos" on MTV (ken from meath)
Hi. to kill a radio star you must be a killer. Thin lizzy sang killer on the loose... . A good song to get the blood flowing! Mark, The white van man
Lead singer of buggles, trevor horn, went on to become a top producer. Please play clever trevor by ian dury. Gar.
Presidents of the USA covered video killed. Bill Clinton is a president who played the sax, the sax which features prominently in Gerry Raffertys Baker St which is an awfully bad tune, so play Bad by U2
TV On The Radio returned video to the radio. "Golden Age" john the us expat
Hi sarah. Video killed the radio star came out the same year gerry ryan launched his show on 2fm, Play his favourite song chasing cars in his honour. Ray

I'll never complain about a traffic jam again!
We just spotted this article on AFP
China's nine-day traffic jam stretches 100km
The Beijing-Tibet expressway slowed to a crawl on August 14 due to a spike in traffic by cargo-bearing heavy trucks heading to the capital, and compounded by road maintenance work that began five days later, the Global Times said.
The state-run newspaper said the jam between Beijing and Jining city had given birth to a mini-economy with local merchants capitalising on the stranded drivers' predicament by selling them water and food at inflated prices.
That stretch of highway linking Beijing with the northern province of Hebei and the Inner Mongolia region has become increasingly prone to massive jams as the capital of more than 20 million people sucks in huge shipments of goods.
Traffic slowed to a snail's pace in June and July for nearly a month, according to earlier press reports.
The latest clog has been worsened by the road improvement project, made necessary by highway damage caused by a steady increase in cargo traffic, the Global Times said.
China has embarked in recent years on a huge expansion of its national road system but soaring traffic periodically overwhelms the grid.
The congestion was expected to last into mid-September as the road project will not be finished until then, the newspaper said.
The roadway is a major artery for the supply of produce, coal and other goods to Beijing.

And Now, The End Is Near...
Those of you who regularly commute via the N3 will be delighted to hear that the final pieces of the jigsaw are starting to slot into place. An official opening has been pencilled in for August 31st, after which all of the slips will be opened permanently.
The first stage of these final works will be happening tonight from 10pm with the permanent closure of the existing southbound on-ramp from the junction. This will be replaced by the new free-flow slip from the N3 inbound to the M50 SB which opens at 6am tomorrow morning. Diversions will be in place from 10 to 6.
Just a note on the final layout. There will be no direct access to the M50 South for traffic coming from Blanchardstown village. Traffic wishing to access the M50 South from Blanch village must continue citybound and take the left slip just after the roundabout, this slip will allow you to turn right to the N3/Auburn junction where you must turn right again to the N3 outbound to proceed to the free-flow slip to the M50 South.

Madness

The Cure
The Cure
Clearly our listeners quite like being gripped by Madness, as the Cure were pipped at the winning post by a mere one vote.
So Madness are next week's Fartist!
They also clearly have a penchant for stating the obvious...

Friday's Live Drive Link-Up
This morning's Live Drive Link-Up brought us the dulcet tones of one Philip Parris 'Phil' Lynott, who would have been 61 today.
Mark didn't even break a "Cold Sweat" when he sent in this winning link:
Phil lynott's father-in-law was Lesley Crowther, the first host of Stars In Their Eyes, a programme of impersonators, the most commonly impersonated person is elvis, so play suspicious minds.
The quality of useless information that our listeners know never ceases to amaze us!
And The Best Of The Rest:
Old town to Dirty Aul Town - Luke Kelly. Musicman
Phil lynott was from dublin as were de dubliners who sang "dirty old town" but its a common misconception dat it was written about dublin. Ewan mc coll (kirsty's dad) wrote it about salford, greater manchester so it has 2 b DIRTY OLD TOWN by THE DUBLINER'S ! {ken from meath}
Old town 2 allen town by billy joel who sang the piano man so play I'm the man by joe jackson. TEJ
Old Town by Philo Philo was from My hometown Dublin play Bruce Springsteen My Hometown :) nicknameless
Another link between Philo and Elvis Philo sung The Kings call which is about Elvis :) too late to think of that now nicknameless

Phil Lynott was in Thin Lizzy, play Whiskey In The Jar - Michael
Lonely town:rick nelson.

Wednesday's Live Drive Link-Up
This morning's Live Drive Link-Up, as always, drew some inspired connections from you clever lot.
In the end, Steve was the successful linker-upper with this:
Arcade Fire are canadian and so is Bryan Adams who sung the theme tune to the three muskateers which starred kiefer Sutherland who was in flatliners with kevin bacon who was in footloose which was by kenny loggins! Ta da! Steve.
He was chuffed to win, since his dog ate his old cap! Obviously his dog has great taste, but still.
And the Best Of The Rest:
Wake up to wake me up before you go go just for a laugh cos its hump day.
Wake up was the Intro song for U2 Vertigo tour, my girlfriend is Cassandra (who is suffering badly with Vertigo), play Wonderstuff and Vic Reeves I'm so Dizzy :) nicknameless
Prodigy had a song about a bloke who started fires, they also wrote a song called charley, which is slang for cocaine, which is an illegal drug, as is heroin, therefore you could play golden brown by the stranglers
Arcade fire."zen arcade" husker du, who covered "eight miles high" by the byrds.there you go. richard
I think the original 'wake up' song was "Wake Up Little Susie" by the Everly Brothers. Bill
For the live drive link up from arcade fire to U2's unforgettable fire, U2 were due to play Glastonbury but couldn't but Thom Yorke played a surpise set so play Pyramid song by radiohead. lorcan
The members of Arcade Fire, Win Butler and Regine Chassagne, also perform under the name Win and Regine. "Final Fantasy" is a Live Drive favorite. This leads to "Final Countdown" by Europe. This leads to "Space Oddity" and Major Tom's final space flight by David Bowie who we are featuring this week. john the us expat
Wake up links to sunday morning by the velvet underground, the film blue velvet is a david lynch film, another david lynch film is mullholland drive which had a fabulous version of crying by roy orbison. Could you please play the spanish or original version? Little missy
Wake up by arcade fire to sleepy the dwarf to snow white to snow patrol , so play chasing cars by snow patrol... From disco stu
Arcade Fire are Canadian, so is Bryan Adams, play Run To You
Arcade Fire to Final Fantasy ("Dream of Wyn and Regine") - Ray
In the end, Steve was the successful linker-upper with this:
Arcade Fire are canadian and so is Bryan Adams who sung the theme tune to the three muskateers which starred kiefer Sutherland who was in flatliners with kevin bacon who was in footloose which was by kenny loggins! Ta da! Steve.
He was chuffed to win, since his dog ate his old cap! Obviously his dog has great taste, but still.

Hard Habit To Break
Judging by the texts we regularly receive from many a frustrated listener, a lot of you are driven mad on a daily basis by the appalling driving habits certain Irish drivers just can't seem to shake.
So it will probably come as no surprise to find that the rest of the world isn't too taken with our driving habits either, if this article in today's Irish Independent is anything to go by!
"Foreign visitors appalled by our driving standards, survey finds
Foreign visitors are appalled at the poor standard of Irish driving especially on motorways, a new survey reveals.
And our notoriously bad driving habits - road rage, tailgating, speeding and using the mobile phone behind the wheel - have not improved by much in the past 10 years.
The findings emerged in a survey of almost 7,000 Irish motorists conducted by the AA.
Mobile phone use while driving, speeding, aggressive driving and tailgating are all cited as the major causes of concern by responsible motorists.
Many of those surveyed, especially drivers from the US, the UK, Australia and continental Europe, also complained about the inability of Irish drivers to use motorways correctly.
Motorists complained of a worsening culture of impatience and speed, often blamed on the values that were prevalent during the Celtic Tiger years.
The AA said that overall the result were positive, as most people felt that standards were better now.
"But the results were far from unanimous and many people felt that Irish drivers had gotten worse, not better," it said.
There were mixed views on whether drivers had improved or not. A total of 43pc of respondents felt that car drivers had improved in the last decade, but 37.5pc said that they had gotten worse.
Conor Faughnan, AA director of policy, said in overall terms, Irish road death numbers had improved greatly, and this was the most important measure of all.
"But there is no doubt that we have a long way to go," Mr Faughnan said.
Safety
"Our survey showed that Irish drivers still have lots of bad habits, and in terms of everyday discipline on the roads we do not compare well to other countries in Europe, even as our improving road safety record begins to match theirs.
In fact, foreign drivers in particular seem to find Irish driving behaviour to be poor, based on the comments that we received."
The same poll found that the worst-behaved cyclists were in Dublin, with 38pc of people surveyed believing behaviour had worsened over the last 10 years, while only 25.6pc stated that it had improved.
Mr Faughnan said the results were disappointing at a time when cycling was being promoted, but had to be seen in context.
"Cycling numbers are up, which is a very good thing, and that means that more cyclists are visible on the streets, so it is not much of a surprise that there are more complaints," said Mr Faughnan.
"Most of our towns and cities still do not cater well enough for cyclists in terms of cycle lanes and facilities and in fairness, many of the comments from AA Panel members made this point."
The same poll of 894 drivers showed that just 10.5pc of motorists cycle regularly, with 2.7pc cycling on a daily basis. In Dublin, 12.7pc of motorists are regular cyclists and 4.1pc cycle on a daily basis. "
So it will probably come as no surprise to find that the rest of the world isn't too taken with our driving habits either, if this article in today's Irish Independent is anything to go by!

Friday's Live Drive Link-Up
This morning's Live Drive Link-Up celebrates the birthday of the one and only Feargal Sharkey, who is 52 today.
We played "A Good Heart", and Yolande took the alternative tack of using Feargal's name to link the track to Carly Simon's "You're So Vain". Here's how she did it.
Fergal Sharkey. A shark was the star of Jaws. Jaws was a character in Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Title song sung by Carly Simon. Play You're so vain by Carly Simon:) Yolande
The Shark, as he is not known by anyone, would surely be inpressed.
And The Best Of The Rest:
Feargal Sharkey collaborated with Madness on the song "Listen To Your Father". Madness sang "Michael Caine" who starred in the film "Alfie." Play the song "Alfie" from the movie sung by Cilla Black. john the us expat
A Good Heart is the Link song, the winner is picked by Nicole, A Little peace was sung by Nicole in the Eurovision in 80's.. :) nicknameless
Fergal sharky was in the undertones, the undertones lead to two tone records,the specials were on the two tone lable so play ghost town by the specials. bob.
Fergal Sharkey's a good heart seemed to accompany every sex education film we saw at school, using education and teachers, you could link to pink floyd's another brick in the wall, "teacher, leave those kids alone" Mark
Fergal sharkey looked very like Ned Kelly (he really does, google it!), kelly was played in a movie by mick jagger.., play 'waiting on a friend'

In the Air Tonight. by Phil Collins. (The monkey can drive AND play the drums!) Philip
Gosh Phil Collins, you're lookin' awfully hairy lately...
And the Best of the Rest:
Sparks start fires so how about Fire Starter by The Prodigy - John D.
Let the monkey drive leads to drive by the cars which follows on to cars by gary numan who has a pilots licence as has john travolta who starred in pulp fiction directed by tarantino who also directed reservoir dogs which featured stuck in the middle with you by steelers wheel which helps you DRIVE so play that. Anthony
Let the monkey drive related to the gorilla in the cadbury add wit music by Phil Collins who was in Miami Vice. CSI Miami theme from The Who, how about a track from them! - John D.
What do you expect after the monkey driving. Crash by the primitives. Kev

"Let the Monkey Drive" to "Shock the Monkey" by Peter Gabriel who is a flautist as is Ian Anderson - leader of Jethro Tull . Jethro Tull was an agricultural pioneer in the 17th century who improved the seed drill. This leads to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. So play "Into My Arms."
