The Joe Elliott Show - Quotes
Show Intro
"."
Bubble/Share Ross
"Any ideas?. Nah, I didn't think so. Stumped you there haven't I? Yes, that's a band called Bubble. Bubble are in fact a vehicle for miss Share Ross the bass played in the Down 'n' Outz. She does a lot of work with different people. Specifically her husband Bam Bam who used to be in Dogs D'Amour and what we just heard there was the Billie Holiday kind of thing called Merry Christmas Baby and before that the completely Ramones-tastic Christmas Here On Mars. So there you go a band called Bubble."
Show Outro
"Doesn't get the airplay that Wizzard and Slade get but it's right up there in my estimations as one of the best Christmas songs ever made. From the album Songs From The Wood that is Jethro Tull there with Ring Out Solstice Bells. And before that we heard from the magnificent Brain Capers album back in 1972 Mott The Hoople with Death May Be Your Santa Claus."
"And that my friends for the almost Christmas show is about it. I shall be back with you next week with my kind of round up of 2014. Until then I'm gonna leave you with this wonderfully fantastic and ridiculous song from the Sensational Alex Harvey Band from the album Framed this is a ode to the electric chair. This one is called There's No Lights On The Christmas Tree Mother They're Burning Big Louie Tonight. So Merry Christmas everyone. Until next week see ya! Oi! fetch me some more drink! now!."
