Any ideas ?

I finally figured out (with the help of my Mrs) who I thought it was.

I tried to find a picture of her to prove I'm not losing the plot and failed. They're not similar at all. I'm away with the fairies.

Ya may share your thoughts

Ya failed in finding the picture ?or failed to prove ur not losing the plot ?

Really ? no comment !

I failed to find a picture that was similar enough to prove my hunch wasn't ridiculous.

Honor Blackman.

Taxi!

Plus a lot of the lyrics were actually fantastically dark, especially when they were all divorcing each other. 'The Winner Takes it All' song and video is one of the saddest and nastiest songs ever. I read a great book that argued you could transpose some of the lyrics of Abba pop songs into Joy Division songs and you would not notice any difference.

Or Fleetwood Mac?

I thought Judy Finnigan was having a really, really good day.......
relieved that the world has not gone that mad.

Or Fleetwood Mac?

I'd rather jack.

But yes to your point, another great example of divorce pop.

Big up to Abba as I would argue they were the best exponents of what they did. Not saying for a second that they were the best band ever, but they were one of the best writers and performers of 'pop' music there has been. I challenge anyone to come up with a better 'pop song' then say SOS. A great example of a band where if you took away the quality of the songwriting or the way the girls voices worked together then they would have been nowhere near as good.

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye​

I would agree they were great performers but the best writers and performers for me were the Beatles. 'Hey Jude' was a classic example of Lennon and McCartney.

There was a documentary on Agnetha on BBC Four a while back and she was still sounding good. spotify:track:7HGABPW7PFX81neX7V03rT

Don't think Lennon had much input into 'Hey Jude' purely a Mcartney song.

It was originally written as Hey Jules and was based on Lennon's Son so I think he may have had some input!

Waterloo seems like a long time ago...

1815 was a fairly long time ago.

You are right, it was a McCartney song with the original inspiration being to help Julian Lennon get through his parents divorce

 

[Snelly]

Definitely would.

Looks like Hayley Mills to me
