Dere God, this poll nearly KILLED me I can tell you. You get thirty seven ticks to denote your Cliff love! Shadows/Drifters will be saved for another time...

"What Car?" is immense.

Am I allowed to send my Cliff-loving friend in the direction of this poll?

From: [identity profile] miss-newham.livejournal.com
Thanks! I have ticked a couple of these songs on the strength of her descriptions alone. Now go and have a cup of tea, Kat!

Is selecting only one per section just a way of preventing yourself from selecting ALL of them?

From: [identity profile] hoshuteki.livejournal.com
Ah yes, but is there anything in the code preventing one from selecting ALL of them, or is it just poor etiquette. I wouldn't of course. I can barely select more than about 5.

Tickybox!

Dude, you can tick more than one song from each selection - you're allowed to cast 37 votes in all!

I just want to tick them all! (except for Millenium Prayer).

And I want to tick all the ones I love that are not there too!

When's the Shadows poll??

I thought the mash-up of 'Somewhere over the rainbow' and 'Wonderful world' was almost as bad as 'Millennium prayer', though not quite as funny.

True. One song to the tune of itself would be the law of Cliff.

Oh, I have to go and listen to his entire back catalogue immediately.

Drifters? Do they have some connection with Cliff?

The Shadows started out as The Drifters but then they had to change their name almost immediatly because of the American group.

I bet that's a unique icon on LJ :-)

Signed a fellow Shadows fan....

(but not really Cliff all that much)

I haven't seen a Bruce Welch one anywhere on LJ in the time I've been here. Actually, you're the first Shadows fan I've met. I like it when they sing best because they all sound like dustmen.

This is my most unique icon, combining my love of cliff with my love of James May from Top Gear.

Oddly, they do both bang on about being batchelors and living batchelor lifestyles. Only, what Cliff doesn't do, James does. All the time.

Whenever God Shines His Light

Would have been a much better Christmas number one than than the ones the years either side of it. Despite the jesus-lovin' lyrics it's a great song. Really nice simple melodies, great contrast between Van & Cliff's vocal styles, and a lovely hummed ending.

It is the worst thing Van Morrison ever did. It is the worst thing Cliff Richard ever did. And there's a hell of a lot of competition in both those categories.

In an irrelevant linkage stylee, the Drifters made one of my favourite Xmas records ever - their version of White Christmas, with Clyde McPhatter coming in halfway through with his "I-I-I-I'm dreaming! Of a whiiiiiite Christmas!" which is sung in a much sillier way than I can render in text.

Sadly I can't find the actual music video for it, tho I am searching frantically.

Underrated Cliff Track

"Travelling Light" from 59 is rly rly good - and apparently not well known by Poptimists. It got to number 1 and all! It's a really nice late night campfire choon.

I've only heard about 30 of these and I could only tick 11.

But I suspect the quality ratio overall is actually LESS than 1/3.

meaning Cliff really is bobbins ultimately.

"Carrie" needs more love.

Also "Somethin' Is Goin' On".

But I'm sure there's loads I haven't ticked that I should have.

Must buy this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000073C5/026-0597449-3783622?v=glance&n=229816&s=music&v=glance) sometime. Still in print after nearly 30 years! It's also got one of my all-time favourite covers (as in: the sleeve art).
