Try wearing a cap!

Too much too young - The Specials?

CarnageReincarnated · 22/05/2022 06:33

I must catch up with the two tone programme, when / what channel was it on?

Glad it was good, carnage. Been a long time coming

Well worth the wait Roguey.

I thought the line was "All the clubs have been closed down"?

Ah.

It was.

My bad.

Have an extra point.

Deducts 10 points from @IanOsenfrote for publicly shaming me

Rogue1001MNer · 22/05/2022 14:59

Correct N2K

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 22/05/2022 18:48

I remember The Beat cover of Tears of a clown now! They also did a cover of Can't get used to losing you which I remember buying the 7 inch single at the time.
Also apologies for not spelling Gangsters properly!

Aw, I love both of those covers by the Beat 😍 (fond memories of my yoof)…
I also love Mirror in the bathroom.

ConcernedSchoolStaff · 25/05/2022 10:23

If I may try one, anyone recognise the line

"Watch while the Queen in one false move, turns herself into a pawn"

May be a bit obscure, but it's from one of my favourite artists.

ConcernedSchoolStaff · 25/05/2022 10:36

IanOsenfrote · 21/05/2022 18:50

@ConcernedSchoolStaff Yes, it's Respectable but someone got that earlier

Thanks, sorry I didn't go all the way back through the thread, I'll do better next time.

@ConcernedSchoolStaff Don't worry, we've all done it!

Dig your grave
70s

She’s got a cousin
In fact she’s got bout a dozen
She’s got one in the oven
But it’s nothing to do with me

90s

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry

Jakki Graham ? David Grant ? Not 100% sure on the artists
