Rayzor Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 UB40s first big hit. Memorable, haunting sax. The other thing I remember most about this song is that people could never get the lyrics right. Some guy at school use to sing "I'm a creamy donut..." 😲 instead of "Ivory Madonna"...(Food for thought I guess??). When I told some mates this story a couple of years ago they both thought the line was "I'm a prima donna...." Thank goodness for google eh? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Actually I have kept up with a trio called Uncle Jed. They were on AustraliaGT in 2013, if you can find it. Laura the singer did backing vocals for Jessica Morboys, and has a fantastic voice. They are one well oiled machine and talented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 🙂 This surely had to be meant as a comedy... if not.. it should have been 🙂 excellent! I watched so many of these as a youngster.. but now such classics that can't help but make you smile 🙂 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 There are apps like Shazam, whereby your smartphone's microphone will take a small part of a song on the radio etc, and identify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
