We had a squadron commander who believed in the head-on attack. 'The next raid we go up to intercept, we will do a head-on attack,' he said. So he attacked an Me 110 head-on and I'm afraid Jerry got the better of him and all we found of him was his shirt! Flying Officer Harold Bird-Wilson, 17 Squadron.

For some odd reason everytime I hear this it makes me think of Gerard & his disco.
YouTube - Alphabeat - Fascination (ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!!)

I've got this going around in my head for some reason.
Maybe because Chris Evans on Radio2 keeps raving on about them.
YouTube - The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go

Well Paul is right, you are becoming trendy!!

As for my discos and to give you a flavour of what I have to play, well the top 5 songs I have been asked for in the pub I play in are as follows:

YouTube - Journey - Don't Stop Believing (Lyrics) The Sopranos have a lot to answer to!!

YouTube - Faithless - Insomnia An absolute monster of a choon

YouTube - Mark Ronson 'Valerie' A reworking of the Zuton's original

YouTube - Estelle featuring Kanye West - American Boy British and US R&B collide

YouTube - Mundy Galway Girl Its in the Bulmers (Magners to you guys) Cider ads over here and is HUGE!!


I always finish my pub gigs with this: YouTube - Robert Miles - Children

Now Weddings and 21sts would be more like what Owen was thinking about!!
