Have a rummage around in the big box for this week's edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:

Toys & Games

So all of the suggestions this week have been formatted to play on one of those Fisher Price 'My First Record Players'. Two hours of gentle tinkling that vaguely reminds you of Top Pop Tunes.

Or not.

The tunes played this week, in case you couldn't work out what they were supposed to be when played on a Fisher Price record player.

This week's playtime buddies, all of whom are It. But I'm not, because I made up the rules and they say I'm immune.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist the theme will be:

Accents

This one has been bubbling about in my branes for a few months, so I'm interested to see if people come at it from the same direction as me.

Fling your suggestions this way with #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll be build a radio show the direction of which I have no way of predicting.

@DJDarren I'm nothing if not self-centred, so all my suggestions this week are based on my own accent.

Levellers - 100 Years Of Solitude (my original accent before life happened)
Foy Vance - Closed Hand, Full Of Friends (Northern Irish: Foy's from the Other Bangor)
Duke Special - Freewheel (Northern Irish: from Lisburn! and I think these lyrics ONLY rhyme in this accent)

No k-pop this week because it would be too easy. Papa Steph sent me a list of about twenty songs, as is his wont, so from that I have selected one. Don't feel as if you must include him every week, you can count us as one person if you like. We're very similar, except he's a bit taller and quite a lot older and has far worse tattoos. ANYWAY:

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)

#ThePlaylistSuggestion

@DJDarren My dad has insisted that for St Patrick’s Day I also suggest:

The Dubliners - McAlpine’s Fusiliers
