Noel starts a debate on never-ending songs

A listener's request starts Sean on a discussion about songs that never end.

Noel in Sligo suggests that "Walk Right In" by the Rooftops is an ideal song for a bus run.

Janet shakes her head.

Sean says it's not on the list for the bus run: "It's one of those songs," he says, "that you don't know how to end. It could go on for about an hour and a half. There are some songs that you just shouldn't start singing because they don't end."

And he adds, "There's one song in particular, Roger Miller's King of the Road. Very hard song to end... Anyway, it's not on the list, Noel, unless you start singing it."

Stretch in Ballymena suggests Andy Stewart's Marie's Wedding. "Start that one and you'll be at it next week!"

Sean sings: "Step we gaily, on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe, arm and arm and row on row, all for Marie's wedding", and stops: "That's all I know. That ends it."

With music from The Tremeloes, Alan Price, The Drifters, Dusty Springfield, The Rooftops, and more.
