Oh, this song came up recently on a list of forgotten 90s hits. Fantastic record.

Ha ha! “Please be gentle with that paaaaaaaarp of mine…”

Notable single example (well there are two in the video anyway) – A Good Heart by Feargal Sharkey.

This is a bit like listening to Ken Bruce – particularly the songs that come on round the time of Popmaster. That being the case, how about bringing on the Chartreuse Microbus?
