I'd go along with #2
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

I disagree with a lot of these.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

There are some cracking tunes on that list! And they've forgotten to add Jennifer Rush The Power of Love.

Sorry, it's my least favourite song of all time.

Mind you, I like Frankie Valli and Barry Manilow so what do I know!

I cba to look. Now that is truly dreadful

May I give you 'I've never been to me' by Charlene. Please, take it?

Oh, I've been to Niece and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Ah, but like Seasons in the Sun, it's so awful that it's good.

The song which kept Vienna from reaching Number 1. It means nothing to MIdge Ure (your close personal friend from school) of course.

Is Mysterious Girl on there?

Both as irritating as fuck
