[johnandmac]

Always makes me smile! The arrangement is so tight, love the drummer's face in 'Things' he cant stop laughing, brilliant!

[WANTTHATONE68]

Saw Bob in 1996 in Rhyl N.Wales.Been a long time comeback.....

[Peter9761]

You've got to love him,and her too...both with terrific voices incidentally

[reetpeet]

Bob should be prescribed as a medication for depression! Priceless!

[blabadiblabla]

Wow that was fantastic!

[crescendocity2]

I LOVE Pastel Vespa.  Thorne is such a talented woman.

[jonnyhead]

I forgot how funny Bob is, found him by looking for Anthony Newly. There you go, hi ho.

[Sinx1967]

Bob, This is cringworthingly fantastic. I first saw you in Swindon in 99 and again last year in Edinburgh. Keep up the good work.

You need more exposure in the UK; TV must be mad not to sign you up for a season or two. All the best.

[richiewilliamson]

Thanks you two. We need another Fair-well America Tour. Yes we love you here as well.

Richie(friend of Lees)

[fabuloussomebody]

I've heard it many times too and it just gets better!!!

[richiewilliamson]

Thanks Miss Lee. I totally enjoyed this. It brightened up a gray winters day here in NYC.

You know Bob you would think I would be bored with listening to this medley but nope, 7 months later and I am still listening to it! In fact I ripped it off here and I now listen to it on my Ipod as an MP3. I love medleys - I've just had four medleys made for me to perform when I do drag. They're not as mega as this but they should go down well.

[bobdowne4real]

SWEET! ta so much. i'm very proud of this medley - it's a form i adore, and i've loevd creating them over the years. BOB x

[litaaaam]

i must ave watch this about 30 times and it makes me laugh so much everytime.BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

[mussymilne]

Here here to all of the comments - Bob, you have been away from Edinburgh for TOO long, but we forgave you the minute you came on the stage in the beautiful spiegel tent. Your show was one of the best things I have seen this festival!..x

[bobdowne4real]

@mussymilne

Just in case you didn't know... I"M BACKIN EMBRA! At the Gilded Balloon until 29 Aug. See you there?

[misseymooset]

Bob! I love you, your so funny! You should be on prescription! Saw you at the Spiegel Garden, Edinburgh last Saturday, can't wait to see you again. x

[elleapril79]

bob! you are just soooooo good!!! love it Lx

[Edinburgh74]

saw Bob in the SpiegelTent last nite in Edinburgh - fantastic stuff!

Great Band and the beautiful Vespa not to mention the Lovely Bob - excellent!!

[sholbt]

Just saw your show at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival - COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! Come back soon! :)

[bobdowne4real]

Thanks! We had an absolute ball - and the Playhouse is a superb theatre for comedy and music, like an old Vegas showroom.

[sholbt]

haha especially with that carpet and decor that is so out of date that it is coming back into fashion again. :P It certainly adds character tho! Wouldn't have it any other way hey... :)

[dodger555]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! "I believe in mirror balls" ;)

[NickyandEmmi]

Fab! At last i got a Bob hit! Been long awaited my boy....Got many more vids to have a gander at i see..Googy!!!!!

MWAH!

[riggsy1980]

Thanks a million! I still can't find the lyrics to 'We Do It' so I'll just have to make up the words that I can't quite make out. Bob, who arranged this medley? it's very cleverly done. Hugs, Riggsy.

[bobdowne4real]

I must confess I arranged the medley... i adore good medleys and have been putting them together most of my performing life. This one's ridiculously big, but my fave is finding and structuring 2-song medleys.

AND WE DO IT

WE GOT A LOT OF REAL LOVE AND A DEEP AFFECTION

AND WE DO IT

EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY EVERY POSSIBLE WAY

WE DO IT

(Recorded by R & J Stone, c.1979)

[bobdowne4real]

Given up riggsy? ;-) LOL

[riggsy1980]

I so give up! I have googled until Im boggled and I still can't nail the last 2 songs. Don't ever do another medley, I don't think my nerves could cope! I do love this medley though. You have an amazing voice.

[bobdowne4real]

Alright... i'll stop the torture now! ;-) the last two songs are WE DO IT (R & J Stone), and FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER (Paul Simon), quoted in my 'translation' of DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME.

[riggsy1980]

SIX more? God damn it!

Summer Wine,

Afternoon Delight,

Nature Boy(?)

Lucky Stars

Imagine if this medley was on karaoke! You'd be exhausted, but you'd rip the stage up with it wouldn't you!?!

[bobdowne4real]

That's three more correct. For 'Nature Boy' (?), think MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN (Donny & Marie Osmond), which opens and closes the medley. Two more to go! ;-) MARK (BOB)

[riggsy1980]

Hi Swingers! Bob Downe (Mark) you are amazing!

Ok So I've got these songs:

Something Stupid, Things,

Do It To Me One More Time, Dream A Little Dream Of Me,

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life, Where Is The Love

But which song titles am I missing?

[bobdowne4real]

It's 'Do THAT To Me One More Time.' And you've missed SIX more, inc. the one that tops & tails the entire medley - what are they? Who can pick 'em? ;-) LOL - MARK (BOB)

[SisterAnne2000]

pure dead brilliant !

[bobdowne4real]

ain't she gorgeous? I'm hoping Pastel will be my special guest in Edinburgh for the proposed Spiegeltent season in August! will keep you posted... fingers crossed it'll be confirmed soon!
