Jill not mean at all - all yours fair & square.

All I could think of was "is it raining with you." The actual title would have taken another day at least. :)

Thank you Jan and Barbara. :)

It's unusual for me to know the title straight away - unless of course I ask Richard :fsbgrin: but in this case it's on my rowing iPod.

I've had trouble trying to think of a song - nose stuck in the CD cabinet for a while but in the end came up with this.

' They say that all in love is fair
Yeah but you don't care '

Well done Dave, knew I couldn't go wrong with something from Back To The Future. :)

Now, back to you.

Oh, you wanted the Title, rather than Lyrics? #-o

Jan, this time pick something I have at least heard of, even if I can not identify it!

Any way, Zoot was right. :lol:

Zoot was almost right. Actual lyrics are "blah, blah, blah, blah, down in New Orleans"

Way to swoop in there, Jan :)

I have always thought that "pumped a lot of pain" makes more sense than "pumped a lot of 'tane".

OK so I missed a "blah". Peter I hear pain, or what they say is "pane" for propane but I don't hear tane except in the Ike & Tina version.

Jan is off photographing lions and fantastic vistas and sipping wine but will hopefully check in soon.

Looks like I missed quite a bit while asleep!

As long as the lions haven't intervened it's over to Jan

Haven't seen any lions for a while now, but was out sipping wine this afternoon (with my private chauffeur Sheena :-))

For a bit of a change, this is from one of my least favourite songs:
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

This song was a major hit in the late 90s. Although the lyrics seem to be optimistic, the way the artist is singing them always makes me feel that he's terminally depressed...
