I hope you've all done your homework for this theme because you have to know both the recorded version and the live one to check that the both comply with Jim's wishes.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 453 - Easy or hard? Any song with either or both of these words in the title. NO comparatives (easier, hardest), just the four letter word. - Val
Theme 454 - "Hall of Shame" - "stalker" songs e.g. the creepy "always watching you" sort and the "I'll get you and keep you, whatever you want" sort. Reversing the usual idea, so vote for the worst offender. - Isabella
Theme 455 - "I ??... 1987. " Songs from your favourite albums of '87. (Singles released either side of said year are fine) - Collette.
Theme 456 - "Wot No Royalties?!" - Music released by artists/bands/musicians copyright free. - Das Duke
Theme 457 - “A kiss is just a kiss” - Songs with kiss, kisses, kissed or kissing in the title. - KJS

Really struggled with this one. I have gone goth so will likely garner very few points. Might change my choices.

Midnight has come and gone and we're left with a nice, clear result. Derek takes out the top spot with 33 votes for Talking Heads. In second place we have Grimmy with 25 votes for The Beatles. And third spot goes to Sera with 22 votes for Dire Straits. Well done you three. And, yet again, no wooden spoons! Hooray!!

Opps Val. We’ve got 2 Talking Heads. 🤪

Yet another senior moment. Thanks for being observant Jemma, I’ve corrected now.
