    Jesus Christ, Sam!!! I think that was my senior class song!!!!

    Sorry, those exclamation marks aren't like me. Too much Geritol with my morning coffee, I suppose.

    Lol, I knew that Glass Tiger comment would get me in trouble. I actually like GT and have 4 of their songs on my phone. But c'mon, you can't put them in the same league as PJ!

    I wonder if anyone on the board was born when Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone) was number one!?
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I think Pearl Jam could rock a cover of "Someday," myself.

    I have this niggling fear that one day I'll find out I'm actually older than Rob.

    Seriously? (vs. sarcastically). He was an Australian singer/entertainer who also used to paint large canvases on stage. I remember him from when I was a kid. He did the song Six White Boomers, supposedly an Australian Christmas song about Santa's sleigh being pulled by kangaroos, plus a few other hits from the 60s on. Unfortunately, like a lot of those guys, he ended up being convicted of sexual assault on minors.

    So I just checked the UK assuming it would be the same due to the man and timing just a couple weeks after his death. Apparently he was dethroned by none other than The St. Winifred's School Choir with their hit - There's No-one Quite Like Grandma...
