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.

What?? How the fuck is that outing?

Mine was Melanie C and Lisa left eye Lopez, never be the same again. I couldn’t place it, but I’ve just played it and I do remember it, although I wouldn’t call it memorable. It’s not bad though, and I don’t say that lightly where Mel C is concerned.
