Not quite sure why this particular song seemed to get stuck in my brain, but using Googleing/Youtube, I found it!

It would appear that it was released in 1983! [sock]

Sock? confused

Sock it to me baby!

Are you going to tell us what song it was Phoenix?

Luckygirl Wed 01-Jul-15 21:16:41

Oh - don't talk to me about earworms! I have been working very hard training various choirs over the last few weeks and there are several phrases that run round and round in my brain to the point where it is driving me nuts!!

Ana Wed 01-Jul-15 21:17:55

Bit of a non-thread really, without the title of the song! grin

Goodness why it got stuck as an earworm, it's not exactly in my top one hundred. I think it might be because I heard a phrase or line that is in it that jogged a memory or something.

Sorry that I can't explain further.

That link takes me to my outlook e-mail account confusedconfused

Ana Thu 02-Jul-15 09:06:34

And me to mine! confused

Which is a bit worrying...

Same here Nina

I've just contacted GNHQ to alert them. I'm sure they can do some twiddling to resolve it!

It took me to an Outlook page where I could fill in my Microsoft a/c and password if I wanted to, not to an Outlook email account - probably because I don't have one.

Maybe those of you who were taken straight to your account have the name and password in your "saved passwords" file on your browser?

What link? I can't even see a link anywhere, not in phoenix's posts or anyone else's. Am I in some sort of parallel universe?

Ana Thu 02-Jul-15 09:40:13

It's gone. GNHQ must have removed it.

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 02-Jul-15 09:42:12

Morning, we've removed it while we wait to hear back from Phoenix - just in case. Can't be too careful! smile

What IS the song?

rosesarered Thu 02-Jul-15 13:57:20

Is it a secret?

Ana Thu 02-Jul-15 13:58:53

Well apparently it was released in 1983. That narrows it down not a lot a bit!

rosesarered Thu 02-Jul-15 14:02:52
