Not a word that would appear in many lyrics truth be told. Care to share your answer?

I thought Fred might jump in...

Vienna, by Ultravox. Great track. Famous for being number 2 for several weeks whilst a novelty record stayed at number 1. We know some of you love YouTube, check out "Shutuppa ya face" (sp?)

Sorry, I'm on holiday with a very slow little responsive wifi connection which made me post my prior message in the wrong group. Should have been in the Injuries thread, also in reply to Plummy but on a very different subject Image

Yes - Vienna by Ultravox (lead singer being Midge Ure who, along with Bob Geldof started the whole Live Aid thing and co-wrote Do They Know it's Christmas).

Held off No.1 spot by Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce Music Theatre (full act name) - very much to the annoyance of Mr Ure!

New the lyric immediately - took me about 5 minutes until I think I've pinned it to "Life in the Fast Lane" - The Eagles (who were playing in Manchester last night)

Well done again.
Inspired by last nights concert, we were in attendance.
Just around the corner from you I know Dave, but we had to travel up and down on the night (after originally booking a hotel). Over 3hrs to do 85 miles on the way up 😮😔

Not in attendance. Still struggling to sit comfortably for any length of time so didn't want to risk it. Saw them about 15 years ago at the same venue - incredible show.

Great, let's stay on the dance floor then, a cover version of this song was released a couple of years before the Weather Girls:

Yeah, it's been covered numerous times. The dance version I was referring to was by Amii Stewart.
Over to you.

And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

Clue is in the above.

Song that is everywhere at the moment.

OK.

I'm on holiday from tomorrow so I'll tell you it's Noah Kahan and Season of the Sticks.

I think over to Wolfie.
