Incidently, the lyrics are curiously very Motorhead!

Incidently, the lyrics are curiously very Motorhead! Whatever! I see a re-issue extra track was Ballroom Blitz so I'm the winner and I claim my prize!

Birdsong Administrator Joined: Dec 2006 Southampton, England	Lol. Given Ivan's penchant for cryptological riddling, I felt I needed to up my game a little. Sorry that clue ended up so far 'up itself'... Still, it's a lovely day Just for you, here is a Love Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m2JyiggwAU No hard feelings. Next...!!!

Ok .. this one's easy because I don't like hard ones (oo-er missus!). I was brought up on Smash Hits and the Daily Mirror, not my fault. Back on Merseyside, this fab four had just one tool between them. (song title: 3, 6) (you've got 30 seconds..) Last edited by MemberD; 02/20/13 09:59 AM.

Ah such is the creative way of things tis only after the solution have been revealed to the rest of us that we can understand and appreciate how you saw that imaginative and lovely image of the motoring poet speaking of lovely visions, Dave Vanian hamming it up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BUpH4_iexE and Lemmy here, they should form a supergroup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VESAnP5gj0Q call themselves Brain Tumour, enter the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, sure to be a winner
