Fancy winning 150 tokens

- It must be a well known song, I will use the British charts for reference
- The competition will run until all of the questions are answered, or until the end of October
- The 150 Tokens will go to the first person to correctly list 16 songs
- Its a difficult one to judge but I will use a lyric reference site to check the answers. Members are welcome to have your say on this one.

- For instance Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann. First Line "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night"

Yep I did...
I used to hace a huge crush on her...
It used to be great when all of the "old" 80's pop stars used to present shows on VH1 (VH1 has since gone downhill in my opinion)... Claire Grogan had her own... still looks fantastic at 40 odd.... there's just something incredibly sexy about a scottish accent on a good looking woman...

The 22nd - so I'm 51 weeks older than you. ;-)

I was thinking about when I was 25, that was my golden time. No wife, kids or mortgage. I was striker for a good soccer side, scoring goals, getting lucky every weekend, earning good money (that I could spend on what I wanted) :cry:
