Note 1
When Randy Gibbons submitted
Saturday Night Didn't Happen he was waxing lyrical about it, and quite rightly so, it's a fantastic track. Randy also said that the song contained the greatest rhyming couplet ever in recorded history. Quite a claim!
Now my trouble is that I tend to ignore the lyrics in songs, so I'm notoriously bad at remembering them. This means I've had to listen to
Saturday Night Didn't Happen several times (no great hardship) to try and get the rhyming couplet that Randy was referring to. I eventually managed to remember a terrific little rhyme about feeding the parrot with a carrot. Was this the rhyme you meant, Randy, or was there something even better that I've missed?
Note 2
I have submitted scores of tracks over the last fourteen months and a sizeable minority of them have been ones that were unknown to me prior to the commencement of the thread. Last year I was so much enjoying posting to this thread that I decided to go out of my way to find rare sixties tracks that were new to me, and I discovered some real gems, with
Mary Jane by the Baroques (see above) unquestionably my greatest discovery. I think it's an amazing track.
