Re: Name that tune
Hey Dave!
I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. Is it one of those one-name artists like Prince or Cher? Is it Cher?
Cheers,

Re: Name that tune
Not a one-name artist. The song was written by a globally recognised male vocal trio

Re: Name that tune
Well, we're all over the place here at house Zoot. (Mrs Zoot says Hi by the way!)
Neither of us recognizes the words. By your clues Mrs Zoot's first guess was Madonna. For the "globally recognised male vocal trio" we first thought of The Kingston Trio (our tastes are pretty old), now we're thinking maybe the Bee Gees? So, Olivia Newton John? Didn't she sing with the Bee Gees sometimes?
Jill? Carole? Paul? Peter? Need some help here!

Re: Name that tune
Bee Gees I think. But can't yet recall which song.

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Carole; obviously still eighteen ... just like me.
How about Barbara Streisand? No clue as to the ( possible ) song title though.

Re: Name that tune
My next slightly cryptic clue was going to be "the clues are genuine, there's no BS" - but Jill has the artist nailed down (and aptly described by Carole). Just need a title now (there aren't that many to choose from to be honest) - this one topped the billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks!

Re: Name that tune
I thought some random guesses may have been worth a try here but no takers it seems...
The song was "Woman in Love".

Re: Name that tune
Actually, I would have known that if I hadn’t been AWOL for a couple of weeks.
So I heard this song tonight and decided “why not”.
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh.

Re: Name that tune
The version I heard is a cover by an English singer of a song written by a Swedish singer-songwriter. It was a big hit in the UK in 2016.

Re: Name that tune
Doesn’t look like anyone knows this. The song is Dancing On My Own, written by Robyn and covered by Calum Scott.

Re: Name that tune
I knew the lyric but not the song or artist. I began to think this had appeared here before and it did, back in June 2021.
