Some covers are so good that the original pales into insignificance. This is one one them - for me at least.

It might make a good cover to cover for you Henry.

Part-Time Lover - Stevie Wonder

Who's up Mary Brown? Who's up Mary Brown? .......

Exits quietly stage left, to strange looks from the under 50s

Correction: Strange looks from everyone, not just under 50s having looked though the ideas think I'm a bit off piste....again... Oh well!

The JCB song - Nizlopi

This confused the hell out of me until I realised that the thread used be about something other than illicit affairs.

As I recall we used to sing his middle name as well which was strangely similar to his first name

The Millie Jackson album CAUGHT UP is a brilliant concept album documenting an illicit affair.
