OK this one is from 1969

Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong....

Oh yes.... turn it up, a little bit higher, so you know it's got soul.

Well done Mango, Y'er up.

OK - I'm taking you further back into the 60s... our Time Capsule stops at 1966 and this little gem wafts over the speakers:

It was your father who trained you and your mother who brained you
To be so useless and shy
But I just replaced them and tried not to break them
Because you could stand firm if you tried

I had to cheat on this one, just listened to it on youtube, what a great song! I thought I had heard all their stuff before, but this is new to me.

I cheated too and would never have known it. Not a band I have much time for I'm afraid. ... and I was only 3 at the time :smt003

Anyone (old) out there who can get it without cheating?

OK, OK... enough of the old already... :smt012

It's probably a bit obscure, but I've put other stuff up that I thought was obscure and people have got it in no time. As a little clue, it's the 'B' side of a top 10 single...

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

It's tricky guaging how hard to make your lyric isn't it. Either it's fairly easy to get and is guessed faster than it took to type it or it's like this one and no one can suss it.

I don't mind either way as long as we keep playing

Until all the clues that it was a group I was leaning toward Marianne Faithful, but honestly don't remember it. :smt012


and I agree with Fausto. :smt001

I've not cheated (yet) and I'm still in a state of bafflement.
