Snap...
As Bucks Fizz fans will testify, the camera never lies - although looking at the wrinkles in that photo I wish that were not the case. That song was pre-digital though so I guess it's up there with Half a Sixpence and C30,C60,C90 Go as songs which are out of date.
Tomorrow's theme is 'photography' and I wonder what will be the picture for tomorrow night's show. I want to avoid Blur but definitely want Focus. I'll accept both songs and artists with photographic connections so that could be anything from Roddy Frame to Girls on Film.

A couple of years ago I donated a few quid to have this played on Children in Need night.
A fabulous piece of playing, one of thier finest records, and bang on theme - listen out for Eric Stewart's imperious guitar work as the track closes.
A tale of paparazzi and newspaper shennanigans, and furtive photography, that unexpectedly backfires making the victim the benficiary, for a change. Highly topical,

Who knows KG, if we can have 7 "Smiles" in one night a couple of "Zooms" wont hurt.
In fact, "Smiles" fit tonight's theme better than the dentistry one, IMHO.
BTW, why didnt we have a thread yesterday? Were we all on Gaie's naughty step?
