If anyone listens to Chris Moyles at around 5.30 will know what i'm on about. For those of you that don't, basicly its a feature used on the show to play their favourite records, using very vague links in the process.
I'll start off with an example...
Coldplay - Yellow,
Yellow is a colour in the Rainbow. Rainbow was a classic kids TV show. Rod, Jane and Freddie used to appear on Rainbow. Freddie was the first name of singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of the band Queen. Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of the United Kingdom. Gulliver’s Kingdom is a tame theme park in Derbyshire. Jane Derbyshire is a presenter on BBC Radio Five Live. Going Live was a programme broadcast on Saturday mornings. Mornings are of course AM. Melody AM is the abum by Royksopp. So Easy is a song off the album Melody AM. Easy Rider is a classic film from 1969. Rider is also the surname of Shaun Rider. Shaun Rider was also the lead singer for the Happy Mondays, which brings me neatly to.....
Happy Mondays - Step On
*breaths*
So, where to go from here? Can anyone think up a tedious link to there favourite song?

Which brings me to Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland... Dilemma
Well, it was the best I could do
So can anyone tediously link, Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland - Dilemma, to a favourite song of theirs? Using only the power of tedium.
Roland (different spelling obv.) was a famous television rat. Rats are often found in The Streets. The Streets is also the name of a group, whose lead singer is called Mike Skinner. Mike Skinner is also the name of a NASCAR racer. NASCAR is a popular sport in the USA. Another popular sport in the USA is baseball. Baseball involves the pitching of a ball. Balls can also be called spheres. Music of the spheres is the name of an Ian Brown album. This takes you to:
Ian Brown - F.E.A.R.
I may have cheated a little, by using phrases instead of single words.
I told you it would be crap
Doesn't work. Ian is a character, not an actor.
So then, Good Time Boys - RHCP
The opposite of good is bad. Bad was a hit album for Micheal Jackson. Micheal Jackson has a monkey called Bubbles. Bubbles are round. Roundabouts are also Round. Roundabouts are there to relieve traffic congestion. Congestion rhymes with indigestion. Rennie tablets can be taken to relieve indigestion. Rennie was also a character from the BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo. 'Allo 'Allo was set in France. The group Air are also from France. Which leads me quite effortlessly to.....
Air - All I Need
Better?
Supergrass - Grace
The Beatles - Lucy in the sky with Diamonds
The Vines - Get Free
(God, that was really tenious!)
free
free for all is sung by ted nugent,
ted nugent is a song by goldfinger
