Spriggy that's the one I was thinking of. He was born in Argentina. I can only think of one other but I'll wait and see. Reply #6841. Feb 22 17, 9:40 AM |

That is a big fat "Bingo" for spiggy! I never liked the song when I first heard it and then it was ubiquitous. And I will be looking forward to see what VV will give us next ;D For now it is your turn, spiggy! Reply #6842. Feb 22 17, 10:16 AM |

I'm going to stick with classic songs. This one could be considered one of the first "protest" songs, that's all I'm saying for now. Reply #6843. Feb 22 17, 10:52 AM |

No you're way out veronica, this song alludes to a pretty gruesome practice. Reply #6848. Feb 22 17, 12:40 PM |

Not really, but I pick up a lot because it is connected to something els I know (like the Sting version of the song). Sigh, now I have to come with something myself again... A song by an US artist, number on in UK, Australia and New Zealand, but not in the US. Reply #6851. Feb 23 17, 7:49 AM |
