Actiually, come think of it, there were probably several songs before the Madness one I mentioned. I recall that one because I remember writing the lyrics out for a friend's daughter. But mention of some songs above (eg Horse With No Name) reminded me of earlier stuff.

If we forget the songs I had to learn at school (like 'Te Harinui') then the answer is... I don't remember!

 

[betty swollocks]

Ten Green Bottles.

 

[AndyRM]

"You're gonna get your f*ckin' heads kicked in".

(Learnt on the terraces at Upton Park).

In a similar vein, mine were:

You're going home in a Killie ambulance.

And in response to @Marmion's sympathies of "Hibees" our response would be:

SHITE

Actual songs would involve The Singing Kettle. Probably If you didnae huv yir wellies.

I remember stopping the tape machine, writing down the next line, play a bit more, stop, all the way to the end, then singing along to the song 'over and over again, what' ll I do... '

Barbara Streisand - I am a woman in love.

Gloomy Don McLean reveals meaning of 'American Pie' - and sells lyrics for $1.2 million

That photograph was always a little bit blurry. At more than 800 words, the meaning of “American Pie” proved elusive even for a generation used to parsing inscrutable Bob Dylan and Beatles lyrics. McLean has said the song was inspired by the 1959 plane crash, but has been cagey about other details.

“I have two children and a wife, and none of them seem to have the mercantile instinct. I want to get the best deal that I can for them. It’s time.”

Another track on the album, "Empty Chairs", was said to have inspired Lori Lieberman,
