Lionel CANON

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I adamantly REFUSE to work through my lunchbreak, so I thought I would pander to the requests of this community and present you with the LIONELCANON! In a change to canonical form I've included the pre-1981 singles from Lionel's old band The Commodores, because their outfits were utterly hilarious I feel like it. And no-one can remember who else was in the Commodores anyway*. SO! You have NINE ticks to choose your favourite UK Top 40 Lionel hits!

*Oh I'm sure you're all just DYING to tell me in the comment box, aren't you...

The listing of Easy (...like Sunday morning) will make me write about my favourite Sunday morning song later, when I am home and can offer a YSI of some version of it. First lines of that other song:

I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that it didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert

Off topic - ignore if you don't know what I'm on about

Also if anyone has noticed their journal layout going a bit mental, then you can go here (http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/) to change it back to Xcolibur or Lynx or whatever one you use. I can't seem to do it for communities though, it might only be paid accounts...

Sail On

Here is me defending "Sail On" on ILM (http://ilx.wh3rd.net/searchresults.php?board=2&mode=messages&q=segmentation&titlepart=singles&name=&email=&username=&dateafter=&datebefore=&catid=all)

Say You Say Me has an amazing switcheroo halfway thru the track, turning into 'Dancing On The Ceiling (Prelude)' before reverting back to plodding ballad again. Bizarre.

It's awesome! I'm surprised by how many Lionel singles I really enjoy.

I am sad that this poll doesn't include 'Night shift', one of my favourite songs EVAH.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

That was after he left!

[miss-newham.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh I never knew that! Aren't I the fool!

[damnspynovels.livejournal.com]

I think it was the Commodores biggest hit too.

Marvin...

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes I was thinking that!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The canon is Lionel-centric.

My brother is a huge fan of "My Destiny" and I think it's better than the 2 ticks it's got so far.

How can "Hello" not be winning?

HAHAHA SHE ONLY LOVES HIM COS SHE'S BLIND

He was rather hard to love, having an afro-mullet and all...

No-one has made the Rich Tea joke yet! Someone (mrs_leroy_brown, perhaps?) on LJ had an excellent icon depicting this joke in visual form, once upon a time.
