I just discovered that not only did I put this song up previously, I also used the same two lines. :oops: So here's a different song.

I had to put up some kind of a fight

Let's see if we can speed things up a bit with some more clues.

Thanks for the extra clue, Jill. I needed it.

Even with the help, I am a day late. :lol:

LoL, Peter.

Dang, I would have had that on the first clue if I hadn't been so busy being all retired and stuff. Yes, today is the "official" first day of my retirement. I turned 55 on 10/5, and the rest of my life is all mine... :D :D :D

(OT, but I just want EVERYone to know!)

Congratulations and good luck with your retirement, Ron. =D> ^O^

If you really want everyone to know, I can start a new post on the main forum. 8)

I lasted working until I was 56, 16 years ago, and now I can not remember how I managed to fit working into my busy schedule. :^o

Now, just don't fail retirement by taking another job!

ps: time to update your age in your signature.

Pfff - people retiring at 55/56...I hate you... :cry: (actually just seriously jealous). Congrats on not having to worry about getting up for work any more. I'm 57 and can't see any chance of me retiring for another 8 years....maybe not even then... :cry:

Which is the right answer, Peter. =D>

As it's topical at the moment, I was very tempted to put up a line from Blue Moon but I thought it was a bit too far in the past for some of our younger, thread contributors. :fsbgrin: :fswink:

With Witchy Woman, I was also tempted to only write Woohoo. Pushing my luck there perhaps. :fsbgrin: :fswink:

At the beginning of the Lock Up over here, I did say to Richard, “ Do you think we will have to wear masks in shops? “ and he said, “ Only if we are planning to rob the place. “ :shock:

During our many walks out and about, we have rather indulged in too much Coffee ‘ N ‘ Cake. Sweeties not so much.

Anyway, over to you. :)

Ron, we wish you a Very Happy Retirement.🎉🎉🎉

Bet of luck Ron. I hope you have a long and happy retirement.

I retired a few months short of my 61st birthday and I managed to set quite a few PBs over the following year or so. I also picked up a few gold medals in the PIRC, IIRC and BRIC as a result of all the extra time I had available to train.

So, you know what you need to do! :twisted: No pressure, though. :lol:

We heard this next song on the radio today, and thought it a great song and, an upbeat message is a nice change. (We can think of other nice changes we are hoping for! [-o< )

Please show me that you know this one, regardless of initial chart position. :)

Absolutely no idea. Is this another song that was a huge hit in the US and didn’t chart at all in the UK?

If so, I can’t really complain. After all, I put up a Eurovision Song Concert winner that I’m pretty sure was never released as a single in the US.
