    Posted by Marcella Ross on January 16, 2007 at 6:11 pm

    OK …………. I have good musical knowledge but at the minute these escape me. Emily is doing a show at school, Disco Inferno, and she’s wanting to hear the original songs that are being used. So she brings out a list and it takes me back ………… (I was only 8 or 9 when most of these were on the go BTW!) 😉 she’s got the names of the songs but not the artists ……. here are ones that I can’t remember who sang them, anyone help? I’m downloading them but getting nowhere with just these titles.

    Figaro (Brotherhood of Man, got it now!)

    Some Girls

    Fire

    thanks

    😀

    Three corkers which I believe.
    just crept into the seventies were:

    Airport by The Motors
    We’re only making plans for Nigel by XTC
