Some more lyrics.

Course you are, don't question me, I'm a superstar
Par excellance, heavy on style, I'm your main man
So come on Kevin, my number one fan...

AM, FM, all that jazz We'd rather sing along with Yazz What happened to the radio? They never play the songs we know 80s
The next verse...

Golden oldies, Rolling Stones
We don't want them back
Blank blank blank than Fleetwood mac

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 23:52

Correct with Forever Young, but who by?

When you first posted “course you are, don’t question me, I’m a superstar...” I thought it was just one of your rants!🤣

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 23:52

I’d rather jack than Fleetwood MAC!!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 23:52

I never claimed I was on the cool ladder.

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 23:53

Dunno who? Mel and Kim?

I think the word "scratch" gives it away. It's not referring to vinyl....

Bugger. Can't remember. 2 annoying girls?
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 28/12/2020 00:01

But correct

I dare not look it in in case prissy perdita pounces pointedly pronouncing "PAH!"
Honeyroar · 28/12/2020 00:05

Yep. We’re that cool!
I’m off to bed. Night.x

xsquared · 28/12/2020 00:06

No! Not then Reynold Girls!

I saw a documentary once where Pete Waterman said he's written it as an up yourself to the Brit Awards as his songs were snubbed in favour o of bamds such as U3, Fleetwood MAC, Queen etc. Said he was making a point that he could get anyone to sing the crap he wrote, and it would still be a hit or something like that.

Honeyroar · 28/12/2020 00:08

He really didn’t need to write that to prove he could get any old crap in the charts!🤣

So come on Kevin my number one fan ..... scratch

I read that as pissy not prissy.

Sad story behind Mel and Kim Sad

Well done shiny.

Please adopt the position at the very bottom of the cool ladder.

Night all x

shinynewapple2020 · 28/12/2020 10:54

I'm just pleased that my brain is still able to come up with vague memories from the distant past that I haven't thought about in more than 30 years .

I think the bottom of the cool ladder has to go to the poster who came up with all these dodgy songs in the first place !!!
