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





Link - the police - can't stand losing you - how apt ! Please say hello to Richie judge also leaving our job . Gar Gar

The Best Of The Rest Of The Texts:

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

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

"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

Friday's Live Drive Link-Up

As always we asked you, the listener, to find a clever connection between our link-up song and another track using either the title or the artist and you could win yourself a 103.2 DCFM Baseball hat.

This morning we controversially we picked Wannabe by the Spice Girls as our link-up song. Bill won his second hat with this clever little link:

This one's a breeze. The Spice Girls are copycat Wannabe's. The original is the chimp in Disney's Jungle Book: "I Wanna Be Just Like You". Bill





The Best Of The Rest Of The Texts:

Ok, well sporty spice duetted with Bryan Adams  who also duetted with sting and rod Stewart for the three muskateers soundtrack featuring keifer Sutherland who was also in the lost boys which had people are strange on the soundtrack by the doors! Phew! Steve.

Spice's are a form of seasoning. The most popular seasonings are salt and pepper so play the much better spice girls Salt & Peppa. Thanks, Keith.

The spice girls are rubbish so play anything by u2

Thursday's Live Drive Link-Up

By now you all know the deal, find a clever connection between our link-up song and another track using either the title or the artist and you could win yourself a 103.2 DCFM Baseball hat. We've had the good the bad and the ugly of link ups over the past few weeks and this morning was no different.

The song we played was You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive and it was linked hilarioulsy by Keith to Zombie by The Cranberries. How on earth could it be done? Well here's how:

Pete Burns has a unique look :-) and that mixed with the bands name Dead or Alive makes me suggest Zombie by the Cranberries. :-)  Thanks, Keith.







The Best Of The Rest Of The Texts:


Burns accused  Boy George of appropriating his unique image. Boy George was in Culture Club who had a hit song "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." So play "Hurt" by Johnny Cash. john the us expat

Pete Byrne reminds me how grateful I am that I'm not dead. Anything from the Grateful Dead would be superb. Bill

Spin me round like a record. Yuri Gagarin holds the record for being the first ma in orbit (spinning). Play Lady Gaga-rin's alejandro. Usa boy

You spin me right round would be something that Spin Doctors would do. They sang Two Princes which would link to Prince and getting back to Pete Burns unique look I also suggest Prince's You Got the Look. :-) Thanks, Keith.

Wanted Dead or alive was a song by bon jovi, whose guitarist richie sampdora dated heather locklear, who starred in 'scrubs' which featured the lead singer of 'men at work' who sang 'i come from a land down under' as does Nick cave,  who duetted with kylie, who was in neighbours which featured a character Harold Bishop, who is not related to comedian Des Bishop, who does house of pain's 'jump around' in Irish..,.. So play house of pain..,..woo hoo!

Peat burns, is stating the obvious..,.oil also burns..,.play midnight oil.

Pete burne sang you spin me round, keily manogue sang spinning around. She dueted with nick cave so play nick cave and the bad seeds . Molly

Ok, spin links to spinning around by kylie. Kylie dueted with nick cave on that song rose something or other? Johnny cash covered a nick cave song on america III so please play hurt by johnny cash. Little missy

Dead or alive to wanted dead or alive by jon bon jovi who had a cameo in young guns two that starred kiefer sutherland who is in 24 so you could play twenty four hours by joy division. Thanks. Cosmo seinfeld

Friday's Live Drive Link-Up

Our most controversial Link-Up top date!!

We platyed Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill and for the 5th day in a row Mack was able to link it to We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney AKA The Frog song.

But in an incredible turn of events Yolande swooped in and stole the 103.2 Dublin City FM hat right from his grasp and linked Running Up That Hill to The Frog Song. The decision as always is down to the researcher and Pam chose Yolande over MACK

Here's how Yolanda did it:

Kate bush sang with Peter Gabriel who was in genesis which is a book from the bible which also mentioned plagues of frogs. Please play frog song. Yolande :)






Best of the rest of the texts:

Frog songs first:

Link up Guess what colour most bushes are? Yeah your right they are green. Can pam name a muppet that is green. What's that john he's a frog. So frog song. MACK

Running up the hill is a green thing to do, kermit is green, therefore to support mack, the frog song, mark happy Friday

Going downhill fast by the divine comedy is sort of the opposite title. The divine comedy also had a song called the frog princess. So... I'm with mac, lets go with the frog song. Tony.

Or, Kate bush sang duet with Peter Gabriel, he was in genesis as was Phil Collins, his song was played by a gorilla in the dairy milk advert, so you could play on melancholy hill by gorillaz, mark

Running that hill was recently played on live-drive, which featured a warning about loose horses, so play crazy horses by the osmonds

Kate bush to George bush ... So play American idiot by greenday.. Frm disco stu

kate bush had a hit with peter gabriel who was a member of genesis. Phil collins was also in genesis. Phil was in an episode of miami vice as was glenn frey who was in the eagles with don henley. Play boys of summer.

Kate Bush to Bush the band, who's lead singer is married to Gwen Stefani who has collaborated with Linda Perry so play 4 Non Blondes

Kate Bush did a duet with Peter Gabriel who collaborated with Laurie Anderson on one of her albums. Ms. Anderson is married to Lou Reed who played with Gorillaz this year at Glastonbury. Damon Albarn was in Blur who had Keith Allen in their House in the Country video. Keith Allen has appeared on stage with Dundalk punk/folk singer Jinx Lennon. You never play Jinx Sarah, go on, be a rebel :-). Damncar

Running up that hill 2 keep on running by steve windwood 2 the steve miller band who sang jet airliner so play are you gonna gonna be my girl by jet. TEJ

Kate bush is to black bush whiskey is to thin lizzy is to whiskey in the jar :-)

Kate bush hounds of love was covered by the future heads. Just play that sleepy kev

Runnin up that hill leads nicely to run to the hills, or running free, or the loneliness of the long distance runner by iron maiden. Pam you know it makes sense, it being maiden friday and all that. Cosmo seinfeld

Julie Andrews also sang about hills in the Sound of Music. However, a more current (and local) Julie is Julie Feeney from Galway. Impossibly Beautiful is a great track from JF. Bill

Kate bush was signed to her record label on the recommendation of dave gilmour of pink floyd, so play 'wish you were here'
