It is!

But will rogue now be cross that it's too easy so she can't save the day guessing it

I have a very sore backside after a bike ride
And my shoulders ache as I was leaning on the handlebars trying to get weight off my bum

Weighing less might help, but I needed the empire biscuits to get me home

No 4, male duo?

4 may have been done by a male duo at some point , I have 2 versions in mind neither of which fits that description

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 19:42

I might put bubble bath on my next shopping list

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/07/2021 19:47

Midge I can definitely see 2 skinny blokes bopping around the stage on TOTP. Marc Almond (ish) look about them.

Honeyroar · 24/07/2021 19:49

Screams belatedly onto thread

8 is jealous guy. Bryan ferry

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 20:02

Indeed

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 24/07/2021 20:02

You (might have!) missed a trick midge. I don’t think hurt by Jonny cash is on your list. Such a beautiful song.

Kudos to your bike ride, though. Was it hilly?

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 20:02

Whose song was it originally though rogue?

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 20:03

Not exactly... mostly old railway line. Noticeable downhill on the way back ( thank heavens )

Honeyroar · 24/07/2021 20:21

What is 6???? Someone guess it!

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 20:34

No takers for 7?

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 24/07/2021 20:39

Is 7 Because the night?

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 20:42

Thank you pantry

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 24/07/2021 21:04

@midgemagneto

Whose song was it originally though rogue?
Ooo. I don't know. I thought he wrote it.

Just asked dh. He says is it a 9" nails song?

That video of cash singing it at the piano just before he died, his hands shaking so much he can hardly close the lid really gets to me

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 21:17

Are we still on jealous guy?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/07/2021 23:31

I thought Bryan Ferry wrote Jealous Guy so looked it up. Absolutely gobsmacked! Would never have guessed that writer for it.

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 25/07/2021 09:15

It was John lennon, wasn't it?

Cos he released it as his "tribute" to him after lennon got shot

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 25/07/2021 09:17

@midgemagneto

Whose song was it originally though rogue?
Sorry for confusion.

I thought hurt by jenny cash was original. But after this ⬆️⬆️ I asked dh if it was original and he said 9" nails.

I always knew jealous guy was a cover for Bryan ferry

midgemagneto · 25/07/2021 09:32

I knew you would know

I always check Brian ferry songs after hearing a 1930 ? Version of smoke gets in your eyes on the radio once.
