You're right.

Must have left my house

One of my favorite Abba songs. I'm listening to it now. I love how it sounds really bleak but it's really a happy song.

"The Day Before You Came"

Calling @MartinG: Tell Amy that she's right, so that she can post another.

Yep, my favourite too. Oddly disturbing and open to interpretation. Great song.
Your turn @AmyG

Take me now baby here

Terribly kind of you but we're in the middle of a game. 😄

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field..."

Hint: This is not rock 'n' roll. Far from it. If you're embarrassed to admit you know this, send me a private message.

I have no qualms about owning up to the vast and eclectic volume of songs, great and terrible, which have stuck in my head over the years, but I just can't place this - apart from the vague feeling it's in 3/4 time....?

It's Madonna isn't it? La Isla Bonita?

Leighton · Mar 04, 2018, 09:20 AM

Bugger, it is not.

It was the 'last night' that got me (and Kathy's comment about it being embarrassing)!

Yes, it is in 3/4 time!
In fact, it's prominently featured on a mixtape I made in college (inspired by A Little Night Music) entirely of songs in 3/4 time (as is "Lucille," which is what reminded me of it).

Something swam into my head driving to work to the effect that it might be that Barry Manilow one that goes something like

When will I kiss you?
When will dum de dum da?
When will I hold you again?

Which I don't think is the title. There may be the name of a town involved. Otherwise struggling.
