Keep it clean - I am of course referring to cheesy musical classics that you love but can never ever admit to ,for risk of losing your street cred forever!


1) Escape The Pina Colada Song By Rupert Holmes - I have to admit having a soft spot for this - it makes me smile and takes me back to when I was about 10, its catchy and happy and goofy. I like songs with stories ### Spolier alert### Rupert puts an ad in the personal columns (as he is a bit bored with his woman) only to find when he turns up on the blind date, it is his own lovely lady who turned up. What are the cahnces of that?!

If I remember correctly this became a hit off the back of Terry Wogan playing it constantly on his R2 show, something he did with other hits I think.

Isca you officially want it noted on Exeweb for posterity that your guilty (pleasure?) is Captain Beaky and his band?

Satin finish bomber jacket, cricket jumper and peaked hat.
Subversive stuff.
Post punk anarchy at its finest.
