Problems, problems...
Despair, heartache and spots could all feature on tonight's show. 'Songs that could be on the problem pages' is the theme which was suggested by Kirsty in Killie. There are tons of good suggestions elsewhere on the blog and despite what you might think it sounds like we will have some funny suggestions.
Don't think we will match some of the puns suggested for last night's car theme. 'CorTina Turner' and 'Nissan Dorma' were two of my favourites suggested by Carol, but the best e-mail of the night came from Andy in Inverurie who suggested we play Roxanne by The Police. "It's a song about an escort" explained Andy...
The very nature of the subject means that a lot of the songs suggested are a bit 'down', however the Meeks in Dundonnell have come up with the song that will save the show! the pic above should give you a clue.

Enjoy

She was I think remembered for her ability to 'belt them out' but here she shows her real ability to put so much feeling into such a subtle song with an amazing control and lightness of touch.
