Chaps I'm making a mix cd for our trip down to Brighton to watch the Premier League darts final. I'm looking to fill it with songs with with either references to Brighton or used in the darts. So far I have:

Brighton
Fatboy Slim - You're not from Brighton
Metallica - So What (I know it's a cover)
Bloc Party - Waiting for the 7.18

Darts
Planet Funk - Chase the Sun
Snap - The Power
Tony Christie - Amarillo (even though Manley isn't involved)
Sam Sham & The Pharaohs - Wooly Bully
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

I need some help to fill it up. Oh and I'm leaving this afternoon so I don't have long.

on the subject of the Who, I saw them in Sheffield last week and if you going to see them at the Rose Bowl next week then you are in for a real treat, as they were superb, a couple from Quadrophenia as well and the encore of Pinball Wizard, Amazing Journey, Sparks and See me Feel me was awsome. Tank and Race have fun...

Metallica - So What (I know it's a cover)




But do you know who originally recorded it? Clue is that they were from Tunbridge Wells!

• In October 1982 Dexy's Midnight Runners appeared on Top Of The Pops to perform Jackie Wilson Said, the band's tribute to the soul legend. Appearing on the screen behind the group, however, was a giant image of Jocky Wilson, the darts player.

Elastica, "Brighton Rock" ("We were sauced right there on Brighton beach, / You a Goth and I was such a peach, / I sought to be the best at it, / PC Plod he still arrested it… / Your name is carved on my Brighton rock, / My name can be your mental block”)

The Spizzles, "Robot Holiday" (("No more work for one whole week, oil my joints so they don't squeak, / I'm going to Brighton in the sun, I sit in deckchairs, have some fun")

Ralph McTell, "Maginot Waltz" ("All off to Brighton in a charabanc, / Albert played his banjo and how we sang, / The beer was expensive, but the laughter was free, / Oh how we do love to all be beside the sea...")
