that is a fun game!!! total eclipse of the heart, by miss bonnie tyler-couldn't have asked for a better song

I agree. Rough & macho jus' like you!
Bloody hell. Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up. How embarassing.
The Four Seasons, "December '63 (Oh What A Night)." Blecch. Since I'm from the US, I'll go with Rhythm Heritage, "Theme from 'S.W.A.T.'," which I actually like.
At least Buck's Fizz are relatively modern. Mantavoni is from the days when crinolines & pantaloons were worn.
I'll bet your mum thought the song was appropriate enough though Mr DanTobin.
What is wrong with pantaloons? Crushed velvet purple ones at that?
You can't fool me, you know.
At the time of your entry into this vale of tears crushed velvet pantaloons were indeed worn and these were mega-flared and trailed in puddles. Pantaloon wearers boogied to the tunes of a player known as Marc Wondrous Kerr. Whereas when I was born certain effete members of society might have worn velvet, purple and crushed. Bit these were worn fastened beneath the knee with silken hose and buckled shoes. Ladies wore crinolines and (if they could afford them) 'interesting' silken drawers. Minuets were danced to the delectable strains of Mantavoni.
Yeah, well, the list doesn't even go back far enough for me!
You know you're old when that happens!
Nelly: your definition of modern and mine evidently differ somewhat.
/ comming from the guy who the office thought was in his 30s. Bah humbug with the people thinking I'm considerably older than I am.
Yes you're right. My definition of modern is different than yours. It's a generational thing. Anything that has happened in the past 25 years is quite recent for me.
As for you getting accused of being older than you are -it must be because you seem so sensible.
Ad don't be making my girl sing Kiki's part!
