My dad used to make up compilation tapes for us and this (below) was a great favourite.
I remember singing it to my class at school, no accompaniment. Since I can't sing in tune and couldn't remember all the words when confronted by a sea of small bemused faces, it was a little bit excruciating. I just kept going round and round while my classmates put their heads down and their shoulders started to shake. God knows how many times I sang that chorus. The teacher had to stop me in the end. That single act should be the dictionary definition of 'merciful'.
It's been 36 years since that notable day. I am told that time heals, so no doubt the chagrin will fade eventually.
Enjoy!

Oh, how lovely going through all the old tapes. Compilation heaven! What was that other Cilla one we used to love? Remember our Abba sessions with microphones? Oh the joys! xx
Anyone who had a heart or You're my world?
