songs to get your cigarette lighter out to.....

[dellzeqq]

I know there are those of you out there who are so darn cool, so en pointe, that the thought of brandishing a cigarette lighter at five young men on a stage some 300 yards away is anathema, but, you know what.........that's your loss! The human beings amongst us, those that seek reassurance and affirmation through music of dubious integrity salute your strength of will, but we will not be deflected in our adoration of the mediocre. Give us a ponderous beat, some dodgy strings and memories of a waistline long gone, and we enter that blissful moistened-eyed state of sparkling, suspended animation known as 'stadium rock merchandising opportunity'.

No one can claim a monopoly of cigarette lighter moments, but there are standards, the AM should-be-immutables, worthy or preservation even as our wicks dessicate and our fluids run dry. Let us therefore, before times winged chariot consigns us to the great unstructured jacket in the sky, attempt, at this most sentimental of times, to construct the must-have cigarette lighter list.

I'm going to start off with my personal faves...........




take it away..............

Not only a lighter in the air moment, but a whistling one too..

Dell,

You are so last century. It's camera phone LCD screens nowadays.

Even so,' Lines on my Face' would have me fumbling for something luminescent.

Vern - I'm not so sure. I'll grant you the iffy barnet, but can you really see yourself swaying gently from side to side, clutching your fifty quid goody bag....?

Foreigner's classic tear jerking lighter waving classsic



And let's not forget Cindy Lauper's dabbing the old eyes with a hanky wavy lighter classic Time After Time

mind you, Vern, there are moments when neither cigarette lighter nor mobile phone will suffice. Cue evening classes in pottery...

provoking this heartfelt sentiment....

I was dragged screaming to a Dire Straits concert at Earls Court many years ago. For someone who really doesn't like stadium rock, it was a shocking experience. I was squirming when the fag lighters came out for "Brothers in Arms"...

Never, ever been to a gig where it has happened. Though recently have been to two where the iPhone generation got their screens out.

How can anyone forget:

There's a Light (Over at the Franenstein Place)

from the Rocky Horror Show.

 

[Aperitif]

It has got to happen on a FNRttC! Preferably during one of Dellzeqq's soliloquy moments...when Poussin is pullin' and the romance of the full moon is just too much!
