Amazing. It sounds good. I can't believe it. I've only just realised that my childhood nickname might have come form a song I didn't know existed until tonight. It was me who first spelt it with an 'i' for effect.
I almost fell off my seat when I heard it - downloaded ! That's what I love about GIO, learning by doing.

I must have missed that post!
The 10CC track is clever, as always, but i don't enjoy it really - it was a comedic Bohemian Rhapsody (and I just plain hate Bohemian Rhapsody) - not their best work, and I don't care for comedy songs (like I'm 'enery the 8th) in general.
I also came across a charming song called 'Henri' by Marie Kiss La Joue.
By the way. there's a song called 'Scotch Krotch' by West Bruce & Laing if you're interested.
#25: yep, I'm disappointed they missed DC's Dad.It was on theme too.
