    Not as old as you've just made me feel!

    I worked with Mike Cole, the bassist of Mungo Jerry, just a few years after that.

    Blondie - Sunday Girl.

    Just missed out on Bright Eyes and I Don't Like Mondays. Either of which I would have preferred.

    Call out the instigators
    Because there's something in the air
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
    And you know that it's right

    That single is so evocative, well for me anyway......
    I remember it being No 1 and going to Goldsmiths Art college, along with allright now by free the two best No1s for me.......
    but of course as a hippy type, only really bought LP's....... 'man'. Poor Jimmy McCullogh talented guy, died too young.

    Lily the Pink... which i knew.

    They dont make them like this anymore:

    Aunty Milly ran willy nilly
    When her legs they did recede
    So they looked on medicinal compound
    Now they call her milipede

    Jennifer Eccles, had terrible freckles
    And the boys all called her names
    But they gave her medicinal compound
    Now he joins in all the games

    We'll drink a drink a drink
    To lily the pink the pink the pink
    The saviour of our human race
    For she invented, medicinal compound
    Most efficacious in every case

    Nothing wrong with Blondie. Total goddess in her heyday and an awesome band. They inspired so many female artists in later years.

    I was actually conceived on the beach in Weston-Super-Mare :o(

    Just noticed today actually that my birth song was adapted into one of my favorite Charlton ditties. Omen or what?!?

    I don't. At school we had to sing the hits of the decades for the school's 50th birthday. I had to do the 80s, which meant singing Bright Eyes dressed as as a rabbit. Scarred.

    You speak with 'fork' tongue Pilchard?.....
    Simon's dad worked as a stand in for one of the shadows ?...... but had to leave the band under a bit of a cloud?.....
    Some say he had a bright future, but his name 'sherbert bon bon ' sucked?......

    Ha - just the opposite, sick to death of AWSoP and House of the Rising Sun has the same effect.

    Silver Machine I like...
