    I heard it in a mash-up with a Bloc Party song (Uniform) and then I found the original on Youtube. I think it's class.

    Going off to practise it now....:p

    Not embarrassed to admit to it, it's just OLD!!

    On Fallout 3 there is a tune by the Inkspots called I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire, think it's from the 1920s, took about 6 months to finish it and that tune was stuck in my head...

    In a similar manner, I had this one stuck in my head four about two months.

    Love it, all the tunes on that game were deadly

    There aren't enough properly embarrassing songs in this thread. It's like the threads about strange crushes where people name hot celebrities.

    Not embarrassing. The guy in shades rocked.

    'never Surrender' is another good song from him.

    I'd never heard about this song until MJ died and I watching some compilation programme on MTV
    Realy under the radar, it's not on any of the "Best of" albums I've ever seen

    Tis very cheesy but very catchy. Cool video too

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLEhh_XpJ-0
    It's on a Wings album. Have it at home on vinyl somewhere. Paul wrote this one and MJ wrote 'The girl is mine'.

    Don't know Beautiful Affair, but love the other three. In a Country Churchyard though, is the only one that I feel is in the spirit of the thread.

    I'll add, "I can't fight this feeling anymore"-REO Speedwagon, to really get into the swing of things, and maybe bring a few posters out of the closet with a few shockers.:)

    Disclaimer:

    Btw, my liking for In a country churchyard, in no way reflects my personal opinion of Mr. De Burgh or his spawn.
