I think I'll go ahead in anticipation of plummy confirming that's correct. Here's an oldie (even older than Sailing).

For some reason, I was thinking about this song earlier today.

Under the Boardwalk, by the Drifters.

Looks like we will not be up on the roof or under the boardwalk soon. :cry:

We did get a delivery from the wine and liquor store today. \:D/

And Ann :fsbgrin: reached 33 million meters. =D> ^O^

Thanks Paul. And Ann says thank you to you, too. :D

We have been thinking of another song lately, but I searched and it has already been used here. So, instead, another one by the same artist. (No, not really a clue, just some mental rambling. :roll:)

Nicely done, Peter. Your go!

Funny; I had a feeling given the genre and the age that this one would one of those "obvious to me, but stumper to others" kind of tune. Then you guess it in 5 minutes... :lol:

Link for those unfamiliar with this classic, but still apropos song:

A well know song over here too Ron. I'd have got that one, and I'm only 55 :-))

Thanks Ron.

In case my previous "comments" were misconstrued, I will now change the sentiments!

No idea so far, but I'm wondering if you got your inspiration from the Dreadlock Holiday discussion a couple of pages back? A similar theme....

(I don't like reggae, no, no, I love it!)

Sorry Ron, not at all.

I was watching a late-night TV show last week, with a singer as the guest. I initially misremembered who sang the song on Sesame Street.

That's exactly what I thought! Don't know the song though. Or if I do, don't recognise it right now.

"I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Though oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly"

"I love you and, all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter"

Lots more lyrics, since I was getting worried that it would take a Miracle for someone to name this. :wink:

Peter, thank you for the extra lyrics and the " Miracle " clue, :) although I should have recognised this a lot sooner. :oops: #-o

Congratulations Jill. =D> It's all yours now.

I was not too worried initially, #-o since the Beatles covered the song.

As I mentioned, Smokey Robinson sang the song on Sesame Street. I did not remember that he changed some the words for the show.

Thank you Peter - so many happy memories of watching Sesame Street with my son, Ian. Sadly, my grammar ' ain't so hot these days ' so the link belong was of great help to me this morning. :)

Some more clues - all of first verse:

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know


Famous British rock group - the lead singer sang this as his swansong. He died shortly afterwards.
