Monsters of Nope CD

[Mrs H.]

Another weekend - another free compilation CD with the newspapers - and not a very good one either.
As everyone seems to be getting a bit touchy in the Banter Forum I though I'd create a diversion by compiling a Nope CD.
Please feel free to add tracks as they come to you but here's a starter:
1 Keep on Running - Spencer Davis Group
2 Ain't no Mountain High Enough - Supremes (?)
3 Norwegian Wood - The Beatles
4 He ain't Heavy - The Hollies (that's for the rescuers)
5 Lost in France - who the hell was that

Over to you - be happy - i'm off for a jog - or perhaps I'll go and have breakfast and look at the washing.......

[brooner]

5 Lost in France - who the hell was that

bonnie tyler according to google

cure - a forest
u2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
snow patrol - run
flaming lips - race for the prize
mogwai - yes! i am a long way from home
led zep - ramble on

[Nailest]

Longpigs, Lost Myself

edit: in a similar vein, Karma Police with its "for a minute there, I lost myself"

I guess Mr. Yorke is a little better at relocation.

[Klebe]

HELP ! - the Beatles

[Ed]

Zooropa - U2

"and I have no compass, and I have no map, and I have no reasons, no reasons to get back..." (I think it's zooropa anyway)

Stand - R.E.M.

"your feet are going to stay on the ground, your head is there to move you around"

[Nailest]

As I recall, REM also have a track called "Maps and Legends".

How about Bow Wow Wow: Go Wild in the Country.

And there's a track on Bowie's Space Oddity called "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" which seems appropriate. For me at least.

[Mr. Furness]

the yeah yeah yeahs have a song called maps?

the last song has got to be run to the hills by iron maiden. good psychy-uppy rock song.

[Becks]

Oh yeah, Run to the Hills!

I Don't Have the Map - Idlewild

My boyfriend always plays me a song that I think proves that one of his favourite bands liked orienteering. Can't for the life of me remember who it is though.

Rocky will tell you that once John Denver wanted to go orienteering on that MTV House of Rock Cartoon. Kurt Cobain wasn't impressed.

[PorkyFatBoy]

I was going to add "Run to the hills" too - how about "shadows in the rain" by the Police - it starts with "Woke up in my clothes again this morning" - obviously after a good Snatch session

[Mr. Furness]

this is leaving the topic slightly but just remembered another classic mention of orienteering- in 'the office'. any fans will remember gareth doing wrist strengthening exercises. not for the charity wankathon but for orienteering with the TA.

[Ed]

possibly the only properly released track with the word "orienteering" in the title:

"Recent Orienteering" by The High Llamas

it's 45 seconds of ambient noise with bubbly sounds! (track 7 on "hawaii" - fantastic album)

look it up on amazon.com if you don't believe me!

[PorkyFatBoy]

Ready for Penhale Sands..

On the Beach - Chris Rea
Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins

or, showing my age
Do a Runner - Athletico Spizz 80

[Mrs H.]

Good work - I thought this might cheer everyone up

How about KC and the sunshine band - Give it Up! We've all felt like it some time
Kate Bush did something about Running up that Hill.
Jimi Hendrix - There must be someway outta here.

Olympia by some swedish guys i think....
try your best and see what you can do, we will go for gold and bring it home for you

or the woc song...run run run for victory come join the world make history!

[samsonite]

of course the woc song. i had forgotten.

eddie and i were treated to that song after the relay on the live coverage (as were thousands of others) with karaoke style lyrics on the screen and everything

it was amazing

does anyone know who wrote/performed it?
