One hit wonders or 80's songs - Venus - 30-07-2006
Jangar Wrote:Oh dear !!!!
The Missus has banned me from singing along to old 80's songs
Not sure if it's because I sing badly, or because I (don't) remember the words corectly... :haha:
Anyways, Murray Head's (ABBA's) "One Night in Bangkok" was playing on the radio today and I just had to sing along :p
I didn't ban you, I just threatened to sing louder. :p
What lovely memories this "old" thread has stirred. I remember going to a fantastic work party around the late '80s/early '90s & The Bats were playing live. They were fabulous! We had such a party! :jive:

Whenever I start singing my other half says to me "dont sing babes", I think it is because he is jealous he cannot sing like me!!!!!!!!

Nielen Mirror/ Allan Faull - Faull and Mirror - Falling Mirror .
Only problem is, his name was actually Nielen Marais, and he started calling himself Nielen Mirror, some time after the band became a bit of a success.
(God I hate these threads. No need to remind me of how old I am).

Robin Auld...... You are all of Women??? :thumbs:
Ha used to see him at the Brass Bell and also won tickets on Radio 5 to watch him at The Three Arts in PLumstead - what a dump
Evoid also sang 'Shadows'
Saw Mango Grove in Market Theatre for the Freddie Mecury Benefit (what a man)
Saw the last ever Top of the Pops last night and was singing and dancing to the songs from the past 40 years - got laughed at by a 6 year old.
Haven't been banned though - Just sing J just sing. Venus will join in, won't you V?

Imagine this, you're confined in a car, it's 32°C, a really brilliant song starts playing on the radio & the artist suddenly gains a rather out of tune backing vocalist. :noway:
ad: But it gets worse, the backing vocalist then decides to drum too, removes his hands from the steering wheel & then veers across the road. :yikes: I have aged, I tell you! :bigcry:
