Going for the double...
There were way too may good suggestions to pick out a few but some of the best ones will remain up on Facebook and the blog.
Tomorrow night's theme is double-acts and you can stretch that to include one off collaborations as well as established duos if you like.

I made it 14, a fantastic performance for a theme which should have thrown up the blindingly obvious, but again avoided that trap.
Richard now stands at 41 points but is one show ahead of Mandi at 35 and two shows ahead of Kirsten at 21.
I have now settled on a prize for this month - Amazon delivered it today.

Relator has been played on GIO once ( track of the night) - though it has since frequently been requested, undoubtedly worth a point - and it's great, 4th'd.

I never ever got the Eurythmics. Totally left me cold. However Dave Stewart's most recent collaboration has me rather guiltily hitting the repeat button over and over. I really don't know why. Just something about it.
