Eek! Duran Duran... I need to keep my mouth shut next time 😂😂😂

in reply toUnfitNoMore

Ha-ha I out-nemesissed you! And notice you and Miss Wobble have been immortalised in the title My next theme is a corker - and the great thing is it limits you to just one choice, so even if you nemesis me again, it’s just the one track. Funnily enough Marilyn Manson is becoming my favourite musical villain. I quite like Sweet Dreams...

in reply toUnfitNoMore

Another fab playlist Hidden ..I'm taking this out with me next time...maybe my mojo will listen to bronski beat's 'don't leave me this way??' Xx

in reply toMummycav

I think the mojo must be taking notice by now - this I have to say is one of my favourite’s of all of our playlists...some make me giggle, some of the artists I’d never heard of. So if your mojo is one that gets intrigued then this playlist must help...

Not what you're looking for?
