Is no 1 (Country Roads) take me home? Olivia Newton John if so
Sorry @VictoriousSockPuppet it's not that .

It was a solo offering by member of early 1980's group , this song was around 1983/84

KatherineJaneway · 30/07/2020 21:05

Ah! I've just got to have her, have her now
I've got to get closer, but I don't know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word

NeedToKnow101 · 30/07/2020 21:14

The only thing that makes it good
Is seeing my favourite sight
Prance and flutter stride down that green escalator, yeah

Honeyroar · 30/07/2020 21:24

@TwigTheWonderKid that’s Fantastic Day by Haircut 100. My best friend at school used to fancy him and I couldn’t ever see why!

Actually is it Favourite Shirt not Fantastic Day?

TwigTheWonderKid · 30/07/2020 22:37

@Honeyroar it is Fantastic Day. I have to say I he was a bit too clean cut for my liking but he has aged incredibly well...

Honeyroar · 30/07/2020 22:41

I’ve just googled him. He’s still not for me! There’s a guy in my French class who looks just like him now, if you’re interested!

😂😂 I have never heard of Ivana Spagna!
Some of the artists I haven't heard of, I have no idea if they're cool lesser-known bands and singers, or naff pop one-hit wonders Blush Grin
