the-theme-is

A group music blog of weekly themes. Each week, the moderator will pick a new theme and the members will post songs that fit, especially rare gems others may have not heard before.

We will call attention to forgotten gems and songs that have stood the test of time!

(We wish to stand out from the other blogs out there with this collection of rarities.)

Handbags and Gladrags - Rod Stewart

written by Mike d’Abo (then singer for Manfred Mann) and released by Chris Farlowe - this version is from the days when Rod wouldn’t let you down with his choice of material

the song gained a new lease of life in a different version as the theme tune for The Office (the original, superior UK version)

The Theme is Covers Equal To or Better Than the Original
