Name that song...
Thanks for all of your suggestions for what turned out to be a surprisingly tricky theme! We did get some good tunes though and Eddie Holman's Hey There Lonely Girl was outstanding.
Tomorrow's theme is songs that mention names so that could be anything from Hey There Delilah to Department S doing Is Vic There. Co-incidentally we played both those songs tonight so they won't be receiving an airing tomorrow. What will though? Over to you...

I suggest 'Weasel and the white boys cool' by Rickie Lee JONES because in the lyrics you find 'Sal', 'Angela', 'Perry' and Mario'
"So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and your dad
Sal, say good-bye to the barrio
Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and your pals
Angela, Perry and Mario"
