Peaches, you'll get my 10 Points for Would I Lie To You, 90s Soul that sounds like Classic 60s. I reckon Joe will like it too. And I just noticed that Radhi likes it also!

And you weren't going to nominate ??? :shocked:

As for many of the other Nominations - well, unfortunately I think they confirm that I'm too old for this. I should be in a 50s/60s Site.

:P

DARRYL! I'm shocked! You don't belong anywhere else but right here.

Everyone, things are looking really good this week! I do believe that Kevin may be the only one of our regulars who is missing, and if anyone else would like to nominate there is still time!! :)

Thank you all for helping make this easy for me! :) :thumbsup:

Thanks but I dunno CeeCee. There's a few there I just don't know. I think it's a good idea to put video clips, because I found I DO know (and like) A Girl Like You when I watched it. One of my daughters had the single.

I was trying to find a clip of the original "That's What Friends Are For", and I see Westlife and Contestants on American Idol have covered it !

I won't vote for "Ballad Of John And Yoko" because John unnecessarily used 'Christ' in the lyrics; same with "Bicycyle Race" / Queen. Just a little peculiararity of mine. I think songwriters don't have much imagination if they have to use blasphemy or bad language to get a message across.

:P

P.S. They're just my personal opinions and are certainly not directed at my good friend who nominated the song.

I always figured it was because it wraps up the verse pretty neatly - beginning with Christ and ending with Christ's crucifixion.

"Christ, you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're gonna crucify me."

Sounds to me like he's commiserating as opposed to blaspheming.

That's what I always thought too.
