Mr Vain - Culture Beat

Remember dancing to that on holiday the following summer. Good old Euro disco 😆

Killer by Adamski - love that song!

HedwigIsMyDemon · 04/03/2023 00:01

Metal Guru by T Rex was No 1 when I was born 😄

Swing the mood by Jive Bunny. It really doesn’t get any worse than that.

Had I been born just a few weeks earlier, I could have proudly said that Back to Life by the wonderful Soul ii Soul was number one on my 18th…

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.

This is the most mumsnet thing that has ever happened

A Different Beat by Boyzone
