    I don't know what era that song was from-but I can remember p***in myself laughin when I first heard it,mainly at the way he was singing,and at the lyrics.But the song probably has some deeper meaning to it.....

    I remember as well in a shop where I was workin,there was a continuous tape or CD playin,and every time it played the song "Sylvia's Mother" it used to drive me mad!!!
    Jesus I hate "Sylvia's mother" - terrible dirge. The other song is "Macarthur Park" and I think it was Richard Harris singing it. Mental lyric all right! (I wonder if it was a hash cake).

    Stutter Rap by Morris Minor And The Majors.That guy who went on to write a book about traveling around Ireland with a fridge was involved with that.

    "Hey there people won't you lend an ear, I've a story to tell & I'm tellin it here"....what? Nobody else knows the words ? :)

    Pass and move, pass and move, it's the Liverpool groove.

    Should be "chomp and gnash, it's the Suarez rap"

    "Don't tell my heart,my achin breakin heart,I just don't think you understand-
    That if you tell my heart,my achey breaky heart,it might blow up and kill this man."

    I know a lot of people like(d) this song,but back then I couldn't help wondering how the hell it got to number one

    Even though twas a for a great cause,I think the songs themselves were awful,including the ones from Band Aid and USA for Africa.

    Here's one by the same group on Top Of The Pops,introduced by a DJ who I don't think we'll be seeing on our screens again.

    I don't know why this keeps happening but whenever I try the link it just keeps sayin "invalid entry" as did with the Self Aid link.Is it something I am doing wrong?

    Apologies for going slightly off topic-I just wanna ask about the song "Chinese Boy" (from the late 70s or early 80s).....
    There was a story that this song did not become a hit in Japan,because the Japanese hated it and there was a kind of uproar because of it over there; and the woman who sang the song(who was neither Chinese nor Japanese) hit back at them by saying publicly that she would never do a tour in Japan because she thought Japan is too much like China.

    Is any of this true,or have I got the whole story completely wrong?

    I woke up one morning and my love was gone
    Oh, my Japanese porn
    Ooh, I miss my Japanese porn
    Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh...
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
