    Secret Lovers (Atlantic Starr) was a top track back in the 80's. Loved a bit of 10 to 2 down T's to that one. If i ever managed to head lock someone in to dancing with me.

    Some covers are so good that the original pales into insignificance. This is one one them - for me at least.

    It might make a good cover to cover for you Henry.

    The Band didn't do the original but about time we did a cover to cover.

    Be careful with this song. It will melt the last bit of resistance in you.
    What a way to go...

    Illicit, you say?

    Well a choice between Good Morning Little Schoolgirl by numerous people since 1937. But probably Ten Years After. Would anyone dare write/sing those lyrics today?!

    or Brown Shoes Don't Make It by Zappa which turns out not to be much about shoes at all.

    Who's up Mary Brown? Who's up Mary Brown? .......

    Exits quietly stage left, to strange looks from the under 50s

    Correction: Strange looks from everyone, not just under 50s having looked though the ideas think I'm a bit off piste....again... Oh well!

    The JCB song - Nizlopi

    This confused the hell out of me until I realised that the thread used be about something other than illicit affairs.

    As I recall we used to sing his middle name as well which was strangely similar to his first name

    The Millie Jackson album CAUGHT UP is a brilliant concept album documenting an illicit affair.
