If it's not too late": Born to Run, Mamma Mia, Eighteen With A Bullet, Love Hurts (the Jim Capaldi version)

This is one of those songs - and I absolutely appreciate I am in a tiny minority on this - that I cannot abide. Have to instantly turn it off the second I hear the first couple of bars (see also Toploader, Simply Red's 'Stars')

...oh, and I love Levon from MATW as well 🥰

I have always loved The Camera Never Lies from 1988's Reg Strikes Back album 🥰

Betty, Is It Over Now? from the 1989 vault and the long version of All Too Well 😍

There is hardly a day goes by - even four years on - that I don't think about the travesty of Ove Os Pa Hinanden not making the final. The best Eurovision song in *years* 😭

...although without all this rigmarole we'd never have had Is It Over Now? so there is that

I absolutely love Elton but find a lot of his singles to be a solid 7 or 8/10 meaning there's no real standout one multiple people might choose. Means a fantastic back catalogue but will always be beaten by a lesser act with one 10/10 banger 😥

I don't consider it 'lost' - is more 'elevating to the third quartile'. Why would you want what you love to be the same as everyone else? 🤣

Hi Aaron. Yes, I have an 11 and the 12* to come 😊

Anyone would think I had deliberately planned that 😅😅😅

...and artists who cover songs you love generally ruin them, right? Not so with this excellent version by *checks notes* Taio Cruz 😮
