There is a track that eludes me from the past, I think it was "The The" and some lyrics were "cranes moving on the skyline" or something similar.

searches haven't come up with what I recall, maybe I dreamt it.

That's it Rich!

Thanks, several searches came up with nothing, but following your link, there's four or more albums.

Never mind, I have it now, been niggling me for some time that one

The lead singer sounds a bit like Lloyd Cole to me. But it isn't him.

Ahh, I didn't know that but there was a resemblance in the voice there for me at least.

And this one, a reinvention that saw me buying the album and playing it to death. Played this at a pals party and had several of the guests stop in their tracks as it zipped around the garden.

Nice one Rich!

She did some good stuff over the years, wonder what she's up to these days?

 

[StarCruiser]

Just had a look as it goes. On tour in Asia and seems to have upset the folks in the Phillipines. Just thinking back, it was the early 80s when she first appeared on the scene… that's scary!

Here's another, and if you can tell me what's unique about it you can have a gold star [emoji4]

I clicked on it and went back to paperwork and thought it was an ABBA song until i looked up , in my defence i do struggle to hear a laptop .

 

[StarCruiser]

Well you're on the scent Shayne but no gold star yet.

Dunno really Rich, her ass? Now that is unique

Is it that she's the first artist given permission to sample ABBA? Maybe something like....

Gold star for you Clive [emoji4]

Correct on the ABBA front…

I think it still is the only track to be allowed to use ABBA material.

Must watch it again and look for the donkey…

What about Status Quo you never hear of them any more , nothing fancy about them but i bet they have cheered billions in their career .

Maybe the Fugees stole this sample of 'name of the game then...'

Don't know of any more....
