A song that mentions a specific beverage- Lola by The Kinks, “You drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola…” The mention of Coca-Cola in this song caused some problems at the BBC, they did not want to endorse a specific Company, so the Kinks re-recorded the line to say cherry cola in the British version instead.
A song sung by a mother- Lita Ford is the mother of two sons, James & Rocco. Sadly, a nasty divorce from an abusive husband left the family shattered and her children estranged. This moving song is titled Mother…
A song that mentions some sport or sports- I Like Sport by The Stukas. The Stukas were a great, but unfortunately very short-lived, British punk band from ’77, they released only three singles/EPs, and sadly never made a proper album.

A musician with a May birthday- Mick Ronson’s birthday is May 26th… Mick Ronson is a brilliant guitarist most famous for working with David Bowie and later, Ian Hunter… But he was also was an excellent solo artist… He is missed…
Your take or nomination for the greatest song ever written- well, you know this is impossible… How can you compare the Ramones’ Blitzkrieg Bop to Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor… Two incredibly great songs… So it comes down to a matter of taste and preferences, my nomination is Halo of Flies by Alice Cooper, written and performed by the original Alice Cooper group: Alice Cooper, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton, one of the greatest rock bands ever! An epic, truly original song, great musical performance, great lyrics, brilliant delivery!
A song about a beach- Nothing by the Beach Boys or Jan & Dean, not Beach Baby, almost Rockaway Beach, but my pick is Funland at the Beach by the Dead Kennedys…
