Correct Honey & Shiny. Found out today that the chorus music to Break the chain is the F1 theme 😊.

Yes I was quite shocked that the F1 theme tune that I’d known for years was a FM track (I probably only started listening to FM when Tango in the night came out). It still sits weirdly for me in Break the Chain, it feels like an intro not an end.

I’m off to bed too. Night music Waltons!

@FlouncingBabooshka

These are still outstanding (I think). Some biggies here that you all know. All of you...

You cry, justify
But deep beneath the feelings lie
Photo, looking old
Memory makes the day feel cold

I got a feeling inside of me
It's kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be

Love’s strange
So real in the dark

I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK

I don't think you meant to put the second one up. (A) im the only one who would know it and (B) i already got it.

Morning all x

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 10/01/2021 10:47

Morning all.
The last outstanding one is Aha Take On Me

NeedToKnow101 · 10/01/2021 11:30

Morning all.. another song that takes me right back to childhood.

Original 70s, version I'm thinking of is 80s

Bad news, bad news
I heard you're packing to leave
I come running right over
I just couldn't believe it
I couldn't believe it

Fleamaker123 · 10/01/2021 11:52

Morning!

Lately, I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart

80

Fleamaker123 · 10/01/2021 11:53

Oh no! Just realised I've committed an offence 😕🤣 oh well a nice easy one for someone x

Actually I'm a bit busy today so I'm going to cut out the middle man, and just provide the answer myself... it's Good Thing Going, by Sugar Minott. (Original was little Michael Jackson).

Do I get a point ShelfElf?
