This one came to mind this morning:

There’s a Kind oh Hush All Over The World
Herman’s Hermits

How about Don't Stand so close to me by the Police?

Callistemon Fri 17-Apr-20 21:33:38

MissA yes, the Carpenters sang it as well as Herma n's Hermits
My budgie was called Bimbo

You've got a Friend
(But self-distancing)

What about Alone Again, Naturally, by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Paul McCartney wrote Rupert and the Frog Song, by the way.

Granny bags, The three degrees.

For me, Bird of Paradise by Snowy White. And, White Rabbit
By Jefferson Airplane.

Remember, what the door mouse said, “keep your head, keep your head”

How about Somewhere Over The Rainbow?

lemongrove Tue 05-May-20 11:20:27

You’ll Never Walk Alone ( except...for the next few months)?

Lemongrove, I have just found version of Bimbo, by JimReeves 1953

Bridgeit Tue 05-May-20 13:02:28

Yes she did in 1954 , just found it

Where have all the flowers gone? Pete Seeger, then also Joan Baez and Peter,Paul and Mary. It's very evocative of its time and its message is timeless.

What about “You're a pink toothbrush, I’m a blue toothbrush” sung by Max Bygraves...

Bridgeit Wed 06-May-20 10:35:01

Ahh Nanatwiglet , I loved that song.

Oh! and my first pet was a budgie - and he was called Bimbo,too[smile

almostelderly Sat 09-May-20 17:17:13

How much is that Doggy in the Window, I can still remember the words. Bimbo is another one, because of the song I was called Bimbo by all my relatives. It certainly has different connotations nowadays.

lemongrove Sat 09-May-20 17:41:00

Thanks Bridgeit ?

What about Love And Marriage ( remember that? ) Goes together like a horse and carriage.
Well, I sent the horse out to do some gardening today as he was ever so slightly getting on my wick!?

MissAdventure Sat 09-May-20 17:57:20

How about "You're the fella, you're the fella that rocks me..."

No idea who sang it, but it's in my head.

Bridgeit Sat 09-May-20 20:08:44

Haha Lemongrove, but be careful That horse may be after his Oats?

Bridgeit Sat 09-May-20 20:11:55

Miss Adventure, I looked it up it was Esther & Avi Ofarum

lemongrove Sat 09-May-20 22:06:51

Bridgeit oats? Haha, only porridge ( no wild oats here)?

That was Rockerfella ( I think)

lemongrove Sat 09-May-20 22:09:04
