I know I know it Peter, just can’t place it

In my head it sounds like a "power ballad" by Heart, Journey etc
First guess, "we built this city"?

Well, congratulations Peter, that one is certainly "challenging but identifiable"!
I'm sure I know it

Well done guys.
None of you, however, are giving any positive vibes for the rest of us to take this on

Thank goodness for that

Ok, what I think should be an internationally known song…

“Blue, blue, ‘lectric blue”

Ooh, ooh, please sir…
Obladee oblada …

Congratulations Jon for working that out, and taking the time for it!

Two more ladies would float 2 more boats.

Thank you Jill and Brit for 2 and 3

The Monkies, or the Eagles? Not even sure if either of them are from California

Good to see plenty plenty of activity, welcome back Andy! The problem with not doing much (any) erging is not knowing how to pace pieces :-( I wanted sub 1:46 to squeeze a temporary seat in boat 1, and it seems my "feel" hasn't left me much. thankfully. Ahead on the way up, but slowed for ...

Hi Jill. Before seeing your post, I decided to share the pain with you and name the tune, rather than just saying "it is bad no one can name it". Really bbbbbbad. But, I decided to "person up" and save you. Thank you Peter, that's brilliant. :lol: Last year, George Thorogood and...

Hm, those are strong lyrics. Should be I nstantly recognisable, if you know them!
Sorry, another one I can’t decipher.

Just also wanted to say hi to John, welcome any time.

Ooh crikey, good news indeed (very, very easy for road, rail and flight links too). Sadly I’m on holiday.
I hope it’s a success and it’s run in 24!

Hurrah, correct Jill.

“…I can almost remember their funny faces.
That time you told ‘em that you were gonna be marrying soon”.

Ok, another line (not sequential)
“…was your father as bold as a Sargent Major?”

I actually thought this one would go quickly.

Great result Ian.
I had half an eye on you, and was ok after 4 reps but couldn't keep it up.
Petered out a bit for 10:22.7 / 43.8 / 31
Had to finish and put a time in as off on hols the weekend!

OK then ...

"...I can almost remember their funny faces..."

Agghh, another good one Peter!
I have an inkling it's a Southern rock band messing around. Maybe a Skynnard song, but which one? Lets go for Sweet Home Alabama.
But I'm more than likely way off ...

Well done Jill, very good.
I was just about to post the first line of the verse .. "Look around.."

Well Spidey, there's still time, and I'm happy to report it's easier the 2nd time as you KNOW you can do it!
1144 this time, for a decent gap from Ian and JBH (before they have another go)

Hm…

The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It’s the springtime of my life”
