An eighties hit song would be nice but......

Stuck on You

Elvis

kind of appropriate for a newborn baby

Ha. You're a mere sprite.

I remember doing the twist at primary school

A mere sprite! Why don't I feel like a mere sprite?

Just remember mate, age and treachery usually beats youth and enthusiasm

Two truly revolting songs, oh babe of the '80s. Whingy, arrogant and complaining. (the songs, that is )

Makes me feel a whole lot better about mine, which were simlply anodyne rubbish.

 

[Olly]

Too cool,

My UK one is: I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

US is: Dizzy - Tommy Roe (no idea what this one is)

I think I"ll keep the Marvin Gaye one!

asy

It's had a few remakes by various artists as well. I'm sure you'd know it if you heard it. Olly

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy

First time that I saw You girl, I knew that I just had to make You mine
But it’s so hard to talk to You with fellows hangin’ round You all the time
I want You for my sweet pet, but You keep playing hard to get
I’m going round in circles all the time

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy

I finally got to talk to You and I told You just exactly how I felt
Then I held You close to me and kissed You and my heart began to melt
Girl You've got control on me,cuz I’m so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy
my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl making it spin
You're making me dizzy
you're making me dizzy

Hi guys

I came across this site recently, if you have nothing better to do with your day. It shows you what was the No. 1 song in the charts on the day you were born.

Hey Paula - Paul & Paula

www.thisdayinmusic.com

(Go to Birthday No.1 at the top of the site, it’s free, you don’t have to log in).

My number 1
Hey Paula - Paul & Paula - never heard of it!

Loads of other good music trivia on the site as well.

Cheers, QB

It's usually a duet (male and female) singing to each other. I'm sure you'd know it if you heard it. Olly

HEY PAULA(Paul & Paula)

Hey hey Paula, I wanna marry you.
Hey hey Paula, no one else could ever do.
I've waiting so long for school to be through,
Paula, I can wait no more for you,
my love, my love.

Hey Paul, I've been waiting for you.
Hey hey Paul, I wanna marry you too.
If you love me true, if you love me still,
our love will always be real,
my love, my love.

True love means planning our life for two,
being together the whole day through.
True love means waiting and hoping that soon
wishes we made, will come true,
my love, my love.

hey hey paula i've been waiting for you
hey hey paul i want to marry you to
True love means planning our life for two,
being together the whole day through.
True love means waiting and hoping that soon
wishes we made, will come true,
my love, my love.

It's usually a duet (male and female) singing to each other. I'm sure you'd know it if you heard it.

Although it was a sad day when Ernie Sigley and Denise Drysdale re-recorded it 1974.

I didn't realise I was so old- Beethoven's sixth symphony

(Actually "Oh mein papa" in England, but charts had not started in the US until 1955)

Snap - Oh Mein Papa that is - not Beethovens 6th!

The thing is, I recognise everybodies songs they're mentioning and know the words! I've always been a music lover and sing alonger!

Cheers
Olly
