Beat then, really thought it was revenge girly songs.

You were annoyingly close, as was Blondie but she was rejected in a bid to join this category. 

 

My response to Boof is a clue. Big clue.

Now I'm not so sure the link in my head, is the same as yours.

And if Jolene's right, we're definately on different paths.

Aye, but his clue. The big clue. Doesn't tie in with what I'm thinking, unless I'm having a woosh moment.

Jolene - Dolly Parton? 

 Not Dolly. I think Carly's nips have distracted you.

What about Gladys's Pips ?

 

Does Gladys Knight & The Pips - I Heard It Through The Grapevine, work with the theme you have ?

I've got a new one up my sleeve once this one's put to bed.

Do you expect me to talk?

You may be having a whoosh.

Strangely, she's better suited to the theme without her pips but she's a one for sure. 

 

And for youse still struggling with this, don't be distracted by the fact that, so far, it's only bursds. There's blokes and groups that fit the theme, too.

Am I looking lyrically?

 

Or, I should say...should I be looking lyrically?

 

What I am looking at the moment is frazzled :lol:

 You should be looking artistically. All these artists have done something in common that Rush haven't. Nor have The Who or Bruce Springsteen. Or Dolly Parton.

I'd say that gave me my 'Aha' moment. Hunting High and Low...finally got it.

Daaarn. City Boy worked for the link I had in mind 😔.

How about one of your earlier guesses - Dolly Parton - Jolene ?

It ought to help.

 

I nearly gave a hint but it's a wee bit too soon for that.
