(clue, an evening of retro pop songs from the 50's and 60's)

Sounds like something from Les Miserables but it can't be

I will sleep on it

Bobby

My brain hurts!!!

And I apologise if that becomes today's "ear worm"!!

Yes, that is now my ear worm, but at least it's got rid of '12345 once I caught a fish alive' (my GD's current favourite!) so thanks Alea

Alea Is that Delilah?

No, Elegran!!!
Give up?
Click the link!

It's difficult - there was once a music quiz on the radio and one item was to name a tune from a sort of tapping sound, which gave the rhythm but not the notes. I could sometimes get those.

I see it now!

Alea, I don't need clues, as this sounds like the first record I ever bought,
hoots Mon! By something like Lord Rockingham?

???
No, Susan Maughan!

So who's next?
Nobody guessed it so I think you should have another go Alea.

I can't believe you haven't clicked the link!

Anyway, if I am not treading on any toes

Da da Dee da Dah
Da da de da de da de Dah
De da de da Dah Dah
De da de da da de Dah

I clicked the link - but that's cheating!

Alea DH says "swing low"

I can only remember one of Susan Maughan's - Bobby's Girl

Um, no then,
is it the Haka?

ninathegrandad I really don't think so!!(only just tepid)!!

It was indeed "Bobby's Girl" as in
"I want to be (beat)(beat) Booby's girl" etc.
Dreadful song if you have your feminist hats on

If you want to hear a song which would really make feminists apoplectic, listen to this by the Three Degrees! I could hardly believe the lyrics when I heard it played on the radio a few weeks ago...

As you were...

Yes, well ...

They probably made quite a bit of money from it and didn't need a man!

Yes, but if you listen to the lyrics, they don't care that their man is sleeping around, treats them like rubbish and generally ignores them - 'a woman in love loves only one man...'

Strangers in the night Alea?

No wonder the late seventies was a boom-time for divorce!
