other half bugging me bout this song

[nuttymum]

My other half is ten years older than me, so please help me now! He has a song stuck in his head from the 70s. It has the word music in it...that narrows it down!!! and he believes that some of the music sounds like the theme from blake 7. Any ideas?

[nuttymum]

hes definitely bugging me now...i now have to add that it had the words 'music was my first love...music of the future and music of the past' ?

[mushroom25]

that'd be "Music" by John Miles.
there's an instrumental bit 3m18s in that meets the above description.

[nuttymum]

Any idea if I can find it anywhere on the web anyone?

I liked the bad guy in Blakes 7.

Thanks mushroom and dotty...you've made an old boy very happy! He hadn't heard it for about 20 years. And by the way dotty he said the bad guy was cool...bu this is coming from the man that didn't stop going on about monkey and I have no idea wot hes talking about. Anyone got a link for monkey from the late 70s early 80s. It might help me understand my husband more...or blake 7.

The bit that sounds like a section of John Miles "Music" can be heard at 15 secs in this clip of the opening titles of Blake's 7...

Great - I loved Blakes 7 and Avon (Paul Darrow) was my favourite! I even have the videos - sad or what?

[DottyH]

that's him, he was the bad guy wasn't he? all dark and moody

All together - "Monkey magic, Monkey magic..."

my other half just clipped me round the back of the head for laughing at the intro on youtube. Sorry guys, it was a bit before my time, so I didn't learn to appreciate it. My fave was star trek next generation, and i could never decide whether I fancied jean luc or riker more

[DottyH]

errr who are they/ star Trek is Kirk, Spock, Chekov and the rest, tut, kids these days!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell your fella, there's a programme about Monkey on tonight, Damon Albarn and Jamie Howlett from Gorillaz have turned it into an opera, of all things !

It's on BBC 1 at 10.40 pm

Buck Rogers...biddy biddy

[nuttymum]

kempie are you sure you're not my other halfs doppelganger!

[nuttymum]

Wish i was still a kid. Thanks guys you've all been really helpful. Nostalgia eh!?

Avon wasn't really a bad guy, more an anti-hero.

Servelan was the baddie!
