Thank you Peter, I can now go ahead with a clear conscience and I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday.
This shouldn't be too difficult, especially if you are a Baby Boomer.

Felton, Ann and I may be being influenced by our last night cocktails on board, but we both said "White Wedding ".

Plummy is quickly correct.
We are in Auckland, New Zealand, spending the day with friend and Free Spirits teammate David McCullough.

Clue time - first two lines are:
Here comes my happiness again
Right back to where it should have been

All the first verse:
Here comes my happiness again
Right back to where it should have been
'Cause now she's gone and I am free
And she can't do a thing to me

I think that's "Dance the Night Away" by The Mavericks. One of the many songs I've butchered at karaoke over the years.

You are correct Paul. I thought this would go in minutes as it was such a massive hit.

Thanks Plummy. I was surprised to see that it took over two weeks before it was recognised.
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

wow, as you say, I know the song very well but would never have guessed it from the verse. Quite odd.
Don't know yours either Paul

The line I picked is probably not that helpful. I've added the previous line.
Or do you need more?

Just watched the video. I don't believe I've ever heard this song in my life - sitting here in the middle of Indiana, USA....
It's catchy though!

Two more "never heard it" votes from Upstate NY.
Catchy at first, then went on too long.

Hi Paul.
Struggling with this - is it something recent ( in which case ... Help!
) or is it something from a while back?

Hi Jill
It's pretty recent. Here's the full verse.
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
