My school friend's dad was the man in that advert 😂😂

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 20:21

It’s older than that Honey. First aired in the 70s. Written and performed by Elvis Costello’s dad with EC on backing vocals - his first TV performance.

Correct x 2 FlouncingB.

Usually, I'm reluctant to be too generous with the points, but as you're having such a bad time, you can have an extra point.
You're welcome

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/09/2020 20:26

Correct to Flash Gordon 😄. Can't blame a girl for trying 😉

@Honeyroar

Oh no *@FlouncerInDenial* I hate that Flash Gordon song, it’s the worst Queen track ever, but I knew there was a bit of the film at the start!
Methinks the roar protests too much.

I can picture you now, MNing in your dr spock ears with your starship enterprise duvet cover on your red dwarf bed....
