Forced to peruse social media while the Bunker was down and was surprised and impressed to see that Elvis has joined Squeeze. Bit less cockernee than the original Cool for Cats but a good performance clappp

Probably the most surreal thing that's ever happened to me in my life!!

Don't meet your heroes as they always let you down eh?

Well I've been on-stage with mine, and he was CLASS.

Pretty sure it will be on YouTube soon but for those who don't do Facebook, I sang "Cool For Cats" on stage at The Arc on Saturday night with Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze.

If I get knocked over by a bus today, I'll go happy.

Good stuff Mr Dunn, a lifelong ambition fulfilled.

The Colonel · **Joined:** Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:49 am **Posts:** 4891

surely a true pools fans only ambition is to see pools at every single ground, in all competitions all season?

Incl the JPT.

I mean, anyone can get on stage with a common pop star like Glen Tilbrook and sing with him. We have al done that.

But to see Pools in the JPT against a premier league reserve team? Now thats talent.

Oh and when I did this, I too got a huge round of applause as well.

Piece of piss.

Tis true. And just remind me how much the much malined Bunker made for chairty with it?

Bet its more than can be achieved with any meat raffle.

What about if it was a global meat draw and the prize was a lifetime supply of kobe beef for you and a chosen concubine?

Sure it made a substantial amount for the "Youth" team and the young people of the town

Just watching said clip of said brother with said legend in a poorly-lit hotel room in Bordeaux, where the news is busy shitting itself about the rise of the Right.

There is, indeed more to life, and Tilbrook is a fa-hooking legend!!!

Mr G you are indeed a lucky fella !
Seen Glenn Tilbrook a number of times in York & has never failed to deliver, whether with a band or "unplugged".
Not sure about "Cool for Cats" mind - prefer "Hourglass" meself !

Dont get the love of the truth.

Many many better tunes incl

If this was QI would I get the Buzzer for saying Up The Junction? Too obvious?

The Colonel · **Joined:** Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:49 am **Posts:** 4891

NOT AT ALL.

So many great tracks from my childhood

Bang bang
Misadventure
Slightly Drunk
Third rail
sunday street
Its so dirty
Melody motel

And if you only ever listen to one squeeze song ever listen to Some Fantastic place.

quite possibly the most amazing song ever written.

Am I allowed to admit I am not keen on From the cradle to the grave? Possibly the only Squeeze song I don't like.

It's average. The next single from the album, "Nirvana", is amazing though!

Good shirt option there EC - ready for any occasion. The chubby bloke in the not-quite-Hawaiian looks like he was having a good time on stage with you!
