On tonight's segment of Life On Mars, at the very end, Long Promised Road was played. The very, very end of the show. ( A cops show set in the 70s. Actually a detective from today is somehow sent back in time, to the mid 70s )

I was stunned to hear this!

I was wondering if anyone else saw that! I was just thinking '73 was a great time musically for the BBs (and I hadn't heard a really good song on that show) that it would be shame if they didn't use any of their music. So it totally made my day when I heard Carl's beautiful voice Grin

I flipped to that channel just at the end of the show.....and WOW!

What an excellent song and what a great voice.  The apogee of his artistry?

Hearing it unexpectedly and out of context was like a revelation even though I've always REALLY liked that song.   Darn near got goose bumps!

Missed that, but was surprised to hear "Little Children" performed by the Wiggles on my toddler's new dvd the other day!

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

Yeah seriously! Let's just hope they don't delve too deep into the back catalogue - The Wiggles sing "I wanna pick You Up" anyone?!

I know. What I should have wrote was "that era", I just put 73 because that's the year it is on the show and most of their stuff from the early 70s gets overlooked by the masses.
