Angelo • Brotherhood Of Man
Angels ~ Robbie Williams Same title up until the final letter. Just a thought. Angels is apparently a popular song at weddings. It would be funny if at a future wedding Angelo was played instead of Angels in error.

No one would listen to that song TC
Smurfs In Prison • Barron Knights The Beer Olympics - The Lancashire Hotpots An Olympic connection as Barron Knights had a 1968 single called The Olympic Song. Also, both are British Comedy bands. (NB: Due to a copyright complaint from the IOC, the latter is now known as The Beer "International Non-Profit, Sporting Quad Yearly Event". This is actually a true story) |
