I remember every random song from the 80s. Ssriously. Even if I hated them. Tis a curse...

Return of the Mack.

Which was a bit random because I could never work out where he had returned from and after his return he was never heard of again

PuppyMonkey · 25/03/2008 20:10

He went back to Leicester didn't he?

Crikey, was he really the 80s??

Fullmoonfiend · 25/03/2008 20:11

I've been singing Fergal Sharkey 'Never Never' all bloody day for some reason.

MrsTH - that takes me back. My friend wanted to buy it for her boyfriend but was too embarrassed to actually go into Woolies and purchase it herself so got me to do the deed (wearing a pair of dark glasses at the time!)
Mind you they are now happily married so it was worth it
