Re: Name that tune
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.
And don't try to dig what we all say

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

Re: Name that tune
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
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

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

Re: Name that tune
You are correct Paul. I thought this would go in minutes as it was such a massive hit.

Re: Name that tune
Thanks Plummy. I was surprised to see that it took over two weeks before it was recognised.

Re: Name that tune
wow, as you say, I know the song very well but would never have guessed it from the verse. Quite odd.

The line I picked is probably not that helpful. I've added the previous line.Wolfmiester wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:16 am wow, as you say, I know the song very well but would never have guessed it from the verse. Quite odd.

Or do you need more?

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

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

Re: Name that tune
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?
