Sing me an old fashioned song....
Back In The USSR, Working In A Coal Mine and Top Of The Pops all cropped up in tonight's show. The link? A brilliant theme from Graham Rennick of 'songs that are no longer relevant or true.' I'm sure I'm not the only presenter to play two hours of irrelevant music, but at least I knew I was doing it!
Some really clever and very funny suggestions have come in and here's a few of them:
"We're on the march with Ally's army - we're gonna win the world cup!"
"Like A Virgin - Madonna"
"Wichita Linesman - no longer relevant because linesmen are now called assistant referees."
"How about 'Here Comes Summer' as we haven't had one in ages!"
"Do you think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart....he's not!"
"Simply The Best - Rangers FC"
"Sylvia's Mother -Dr HookÌý - 'And the operator says forty cents more for the next threeÌýminutes.' Please!!!! "
"How about I like driving in my car by madness. Am also stuck on M8 moved about 8 feet in an hour! "
"Iggy Pop - The Passenger - no longer appropriate as he can now get car insurance"
"Skye Boat Song - there's now a bridge!"
