Remember When?

[WilliamPowell]

There I was driving home this evening with one of my doggies in the back after a leisurely day at the baseball listening to "living in the 70's" on Gold104 when a song I haven't heard for at least 25 years starts playing.

I start singing (badly) fortunately the dog doesn't start howling but I know she thought I was nuts................

The band PAPER LACE the song..... anyone care to guess?

Paper Lace only ever had 2 hit songs in the early 70's. One got a mention on the soundtrack to "Priscella Queen of the Dessert" and there is the one I heard tonight.

Try and guess 'em both

PS: I am still humming the song as I type this

Hope you had the windows up.

You're a sad person, WP 

Billy, Don't Be A Hero

Billy, Don't Be A Hero

Hahaha 

Billy don't be hero,
Don't be a fool with your life 

Well that's one of Paper Lace's hits - that was the easy one.... but that wasn't the one they played last night

Keep guessing 

Hope you had the windows up.

Not exactly FF - had to have one window down for the Dog to get some fresh air

I watched "Love Actually" the other night and they had a Bay City Roller's song on it.  Used to love the Bay City Rollers - especially Eric.

Here you go WP  .



Can you have a greatest hits album of a couple of songs?!  .

Speaking of pseudo one-hit wonders. Which 80's song are The Buggles famous for? A cover was done of it in the 90's for a Adam Sandler movie.

[Life goes on]

Whats even sadder I know the song word for word.
Billy went to fight at war and never came back

Well if people cannot guess the name of the second song now they never will - seeing it is on the cover of this Greatest Hits Album

Been raiding your Mum's record collection again MT - you've been told not too remember

As for the Buggles and their hit................

SOmething along the lines of "I heard you on the wireless back in 62" or was it 52 ??? ???.

"Video Killed the Radio Star"

Well done WP



Old(ish) Bigfootyians who visit the main board over there would recognize these pics. Classic!

Coming to a RFC catalogue near you

and was Number 6 - the Eurogliders with Grace What's hername

Nope - Eurogliders were 80's.

Clue: Think early 90's JJJ alternative-ish.
