Re: Oldies music quiz

Crikey Ab, you did really well but I know you like your music.
I have to admit it was a big blast from the past for me too Hubby and I were singing along as I read them out.
Got stumped on quite a few but I do believe number 25 was some sort of joke.
Fanny is backside in America, so is butt and I did a search and can't find a thing.
