Anyway, dead easy this one. Connection revealed later but if you know, feel free to add to the list. 1. Our Lips Are Sealed - Fun Boy Three. 2. Have I The Right - The Honeycombs 3. Venus In Furs - Velvet Underground I happened to be watching a Communards video t'other night and was going to post that up but a bit of checking revealed that it would have linked even more strongly to your Fun Boy Three one.

I P Knightley Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 So, are we clear of both of Boof's rounds and JWL's so called "easy" round about Wossname, the session singer who sang on about 5 obscure tracks in the early '70s? (Seriously, whoever came up with Brotherhood of Man has no excuse to not get any other theme instantly). If so, I can start a new theme tomorrow that might not be as "easy" by the JWL definition but you'll all get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
