FGTH back on stage for Eurovision. Do they need a pension top-up?
“The five original members – Holly Johnson (vocals), Paul Rutherford (backing vocals), Mark O’Toole (bass), Brian ‘Nasher’ Nash (guitar), and Peter ‘Ped’ Gill (drums) – will reunite for their first performance in front of an audience since their last gig in Bordeaux, way back in late February 1987”

Consider if you will, the recent hit song “Mr Jones” by Counting Crows. OK?…remember it? Sing it! Go on! Sing it now!
Right. I am prepared to bet good money that all you did was go “#Mis-terr JONES and me.. # “. Why? Because it’s the only bit that sticks in the mind. I assume there’s a lot more to the song than that like the guitars and that – but that’s all we remember.
Compare this to most ABBA choruses – there’s a line or two at least that most people can bash out if they have to.
This is different to just a memorable chorus. This is nano pop. Songs with just a tiny soupçon of memorableness. Any others?
