I meant votes that were counted. The opposition had got it's 6 votes at that stage. Your vote did not count and Kolido did not include it when giving the result. I like that song too.

My vote above. Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, there was indeed a song called "I Shall Never Pass This Way Again" at Number 1 in the Irish Charts during May 1989 but it appears to be the same song!
