Thanks Jan. OK, a nice easy one - easy if you know it, that is.

And I'll try not to sing out of key

Paul, many things are easy if you have friends to help you. For example, I get by With A Little Help From My Friends!

Paul, what too you so long? We thought this was right in your karaoke sweet spot. :lol:

This was Ann's suggestion, even though we were very happy to move out of the sleepless city of our birth.

Is 4 minutes a record?

I will try the one that stumped Ann on my next turn.

Your turn now Paul.

It's ' The Sunshine Of Your Love ' . The version I'm thinking of is by Cream.

Thank you Tom.

I'm on my hols at the moment - Vancouver Island. It's most unlikely that I'll bump into the singer of this song ... But then again, you never know ...

When the morning breaks
We go out separate ways
If the night was made for love it ain't for keeps

Let's see who can break Paul's 4 minute record. :fsbgrin: :fswink:

Some clues to help.

Male singer: not Neil Young, Michael Buble or Justin Bieber.

First three lines of the first verse:

You're the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that I'd be touching you

As the singers you mention are all Canadian, I presume it's someone like Bryan Adams. If it is him, I haven't a clue as the only songs I can remember that he recorded are Everything I Do (I Do It For You) and Summer of 69 and I'm pretty sure it's neither of those.

Paul, it's One Night Love Affair by Bryan Adams.

Apologies, thought that everyone would know it. #-o :oops:

As any available Wi-fI is going to be unreliable for a while, then please take the next turn Paul. :)

No reason to apologise Jill.

Just because I didn't know it doesn't mean other people wouldn't.

I think you should have another go.
