The NME once ran a competition to find the best song lyric which replaced one word with the word "brick". "Killing me softly...with his brick" still makes me laugh.

Killing Me Softly was a great song in its day. It's a song that has been panned a lot because it is somewhat syrupy. Having said that I would love to have written that song because I would never have to work another day in my life.

Im interested in"Who was the subject of the song?" Ive got this feeling in the back of my head about John Denver or Simon/Garfunkel I know its wrong but does anyone else want to chime in? Is it wrong

I think the subject of the song was Don MacLean of American Pie fame.

That's it. Good one.

Now one question remains unanswered.

It wasn't Carol King was it? Just a stab in the dark, really.

Never mind I googled it and I'm wrong.

A difficult one this especially if you're from US as you may not have heard of the act.

Who was the first act to appear at the Cavern that had been number 1 in UK charts

scotty · Post by **scotty** » Sat May 31, 2008 5:49 am

was it Cliff Richard & The Shadows ?

good guess Scotty but no

Bit hard this I admit so here's a clue.

Act had been number 1 in UK in October 59, singer was originally from Bahamas

Emile Ford & The Checkmates, perhaps.

Thanks, Roy. I did not see the clue before I responded. Fingers crossed.
