You'd probably get off, if the judge was into music.

Better just to divorce her, though. At least you won't have a tug-of-love over the best CDs.

A little extreme.

Maybe you should either cut off her feed to the Big Brother house for the remainder of this year's show - or better still, insist that she spends at least 24 hours in there with all of this year's contestants.

Or something...!?!!

Paul young is nothing. My one and only has every solo album ever made by one Stevie Nicks.

And there was me puzzled as to why she wasn't with you at Hyde Park......:eek:

She wasn't there because she only likes LWTUA when it's sung "properly"... :D

Young said that he was introduced to the song by Laurie Latham, his producer, as they were looking for 'modern' songs to cover. Quite why he undertook to cover something that was already a masterpiece is quite beyond me but that hasn't stopped loads of other buggers having a go at it too.

He's recently said that the original is unasailable and he should never have tried. It's a filthy version too; he was better off murdering other covers like Love Of The Common People. That said, No Parlez is the best out of his solo albums. He could hardly get himself arrested now.

Swans version of LWTUA is OK.And did anyone catch the Glastonbury Saturday afternoon 1 hour programme on BBC2 back on June 25th?.There was a band that did a great acoustic version in the BBC garden set.A couple of girls on vocals.Very nice rendition.
