Anyway, I totally accept that you didn't need my contribution and I think you should put up the next set of lyrics Ron.

Ron, I am in full agreement with Paul.

You are up next.

Thank you for your help Steve and Peter. :) When I clicked on submit, the magic words, " Your message has been sent " came up, so hopefully Steve it has worked. My laptop, an evil entity, :twisted: rules the roost, therefore it's always a triumph when I sometimes get the upper hand. :fsbgrin: I am g...

Thank you Boris and Steve for organising the dispatch of the sweat bands and also for covering the cost of the postal charges. :) I ordered 3 pink headbands. I am having problems trying to send you a PM. :? I have tried writing both Steve Smith and then Wolfmiester in the ‘ Add Recipients Box ‘ but ...

Would the clue be Richard’s question, if we were to remove the question mark?

Yes it would. Still need to ' name that tune ' though.

I definitely recognize the first set of lyrics, but not the second. I just can't find a rhythm for the words I'm seeing... Richard recognised the lyrics straightaway and said ( laughing ) " I can't believe that no one has recognised them. Who are these people? " More clues then: We'll be fighting i...

It sounds like the cadence of Mambo No 5, but I don't recognise those particular lyrics. That's because it's not the song - A little bit of brain power is what you need :fsbgrin: :fswink: Or I guess it could be The Man in the Mirror. Definitely not. :shock: :lol: Richard recognised the lyrics strai...

Will our two Awesome Americans be able to continue their athletic game of leapfrog and which one of them will reach 2,000,000m first? With mighty muscles and sinews … Colin Brinkman … continues … to race apace ... in order to be our first and fastest ( 30 days ) Free Spirit to reach Two Million Met...

Thank you Plummy - this was one of those rare occasions when I recognised the lyrics straight away. I wish to state, that as an ancient headbanger, I am not and have never been a fan of Mr Jones. :lol: Listening to this on my rowing iPod this morning and as I now have a hair appointment for next wee...

"She stood there laughing"

Is it Delilah?

I am absolutely loving Jill’s write ups of our million metre heroes... Keep ‘em coming... Thank you Dave :) - I will do my best although I can’t make any promises, as I now ( as I keep telling friends and family who are kind enough to listen ) have a brain that’s 50% marshmallow and 50% mashed pota...

With his siren ... nee nawing … and his blue light … flashing … Fireman Shuker … has been dashing … up the Meterboard to become our fourth Free Spirit to attain One Million Metres For The Season. Nick - 1,000,000 x =D> ^O^ ❤️ New Hip! Hip! Hooray! :fsbgrin: :fswink: It’s a pleasure to see you back i...

At this stage, our planned trip to Alvor in mid July is looking very doubtful. The 14 day quarantine for those arriving in Ireland from abroad is still in place and friends of ours who were due to be in Alvor at the same time as us have cancelled their flights. On the plus side, my home gym is not ...

If the erg … you are tempted to sample … then Patrick Monahan … is an excellent example … of its benefits, as he becomes our third Free Spirit to reach One Million Metres For The Season. Patrick - 1,000,000 x =D> ^O^ ❤️ Keep, keeping fit, Patrick. 8) 👍💪 :) A Very Special Mention and a Very Special T...

Next tune ...

"I really love your peaches"

Steve, is it The Man From Del Monte?

Thank you Paul - I didn’t know that Bonio had an actress daughter either. I have also heard the finger snapping story but have no idea as to whether it’s true or not. I can enjoy an artist’s acting/singing etc but for several reasons, not necessarily approve of them. As a fully fledged Grumpy Old Wo...

Far more revered by the Irish public than Mr Hewson. Paul Hewson's daughter, Eve, was interviewed recently about her leading role in the BBC's new drama, The Luminaries . I only skimmed the article, but she did admit to having doors opened for her, because of having a famous father. Now, there's a ...

Rosalie ?

Well done Steve. It would have been curtains for me otherwise, as I'd run out of clues.

Over to you.

No Paul, not Smooth Operator

More lyrics:

She knows music
I know music do you see
She's got the power, got the power ...

This is a song by Bob Seger - one word title, woman's name. The cover version that I have is by a singer ( who was one of your fellow countrymen ) and his band.

More lyrics:

She's quite a mediator
A smooth operator you will never see

Thank you Paul.

Here's another song from my iPod rowing playlist.

She's everybody's favourite little record girl

Thank you Paul - Clare/Claire then?

so here's another clue. Irish singer-songwriter who took his name from two English operetta composers. You would indeed! Now you just need to name the song. After your helpful clue, naming the singer was the easy bit ... The only song I can think of ( and then I'm not so sure ) is Alone Again or fa...

Would I be right in thinking that would be Gilbert O'Sullivan?

Thank you Jon ( and possibly Peter ) for offering to ( hopefully ) take over from Thomas and for all the ongoing time and effort that you are putting into ‘ learning the ropes ‘. =D> =D> 8) In case things do not work out, then I have a couple of tentative suggestions which I’ll keep to myself for th...
