Thank you Plummy. :)

Although this song doesn't appear to have been put up before, it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for the little grey cells. [-o<

Yes we are Plummy, although the song has been covered by several groups including The Nashville Teens.

Over to you.

I think I have this on an obscure, later MUD album as well. Good old BOOM radio in the UK playing stuff like this. I'll pop something new up shortly...

OK - a couple of clues. The next line is the song title.

OK, this was a big hit in the UK, but have not checked anywhere else. So apologies in advance ... :-)
