number one on my 18th! Number one on the day I was born was The Most Beautiful Girl In The World which, naturally, sets the tone for my whole life.

Ah yes. Ignore me, I've had wine.

Always on My Mind by the Pet Shop Boys (which is cool, unlike Two Little Boys by Rolf Harris when I was born... 😫)

Bob the Builder. Totally sets the tone for my life too …

I have a great song - A real classic but cant say as it would be outing. No 1 on both sides of the Atlantic (Different times) and written by another musical legend.

”In November 1994, in an episode of the UK television drama series Soldier Soldier, actors Robson Green and Jerome Flynn performed "Unchained Melody" as an impromptu duo The Unrighteous Brothers after the entertainment failed to appear at a wedding”

Didn’t know either, thank you Wikipedia. Obviously much lower bar to launching your pop career in the 90s.

NannyGythaOgg · 03/03/2023 22:34

Stevie Wonder .Superstition. and just before my birthday, You're so Vain by Carly Simon.
