    And I guess most people know that the guy who gave us this: Northern Classic Also wrote this: Classic of a different sort

    Of course there's the man who wrote this classic... ...but who is much more commonly known for this instantly recognisable theme tune.

That's me learned something new today so not all bad :thumbsup:

My favourite one I noticed years ago is that Skiing in the Snow has the same writers, producers and arrangers as Native New Yorker.

believe it or not jackie lee who did all the mirwood stuff is not the same jackie lee who did rupert the bear, however, jackie lee who did rupert the bear is emma rede who did the brill i gotta be with you, and

theres a great version of walking the dog by a uk group where the drummer is the bloke who played jack sugden in emmerdale

Oh no, I'm not having that.  This kind of mis-information is ruining the scene.  In fact, I've got an acetate of the original demo of "Oh My Darling" where Jackie clearly sings "Oh My Trousers" - an oblique reference to his famous checked strides.  And it's Nutwood not  Mirwood -  get your facts straight!

That's a great video with a great message.

LOL After it finished for me it ran through to some more Macka B videos. One called Wha Me Eat about being a vegetarian/vegan. What a hoot! Never heard of him till today. Now I'm a fan. :)

try run rushdie run and get rid of maggie, both never fail to make me smile

Great Macka B vid. Or at least the parts I understood. Seems he mellowed down a bit (in a political sense). Last time I played his records was in the late 80s and he talked about to get rid of Maggie and described some blokes as coconuts (black on the outside and white inside).

Edit: Sample taken from 54-46 was my number or is my number?
