Deeply Dippy by Right Said Fred

Common People – Pulp
Cider Drinker – WurzelsGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Blackbird song would be the top song come to think about it
Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Never a big fan of theirs Nathan. Surely Blackbird wasn’t a cover of the Beatles song
Blackbird was on their White Album and according to Spotify was about Civil Rights Movement and end of Racism. I don’t think it got released as a single, but it’s not a bad song unlike Revolution 9 which must have been a joke when they did it. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
Homer I remember Right Said Fred doing Deeply Dippy on Pebble Mill At One back in the early 80’s
I know they had I’m Too Sexy but Deeply Dippy was their only number 1 in the UK and both are on the album UP.
Also a big fan of The Feeling since I heard them on radio a few years ago around Valentine time, but don’t know if they released singles.
The was one I was going to include in my list but thought too weird. Bring Me Edelweiss by Edelweiss which I first saw on James Whale show when it used to be on.
Legend of Xanadu used to play on my Radiogram and English Country Garden was in the top 40 back in the week I was born.
Which shows my age
When I say my Radiogram, really meant my parents but that goes without saying

Don't mess with mister in between.Finally I agree with Jackie Chan in the film Rush Hour, ” Everyone knows War!”
Homer one of my favourite tracks from BAND ON THE RUN is MAMUNIA but I like to call it PNEUMONIA listen to the lyrics and you probably guess why.
