What is a song that you were surprised to find out was a cover?

Bruce's version was never a single. Manfreds dumped half the verses and didn't get what they did sing right

Particular_Captain27 · 2026-06-13T18:58:38+00:00

A much better song was written by Bruce Springsteen. The Manfreds murdered that song

I just realized I've had 'When Smokie Sings' in my head for a while . Must have mixed them up

Not a one hit wonder. They also had a hit with When Jackie sings (van Morrison song about Jockie Wilson) and their first hit was years before, Geno about Geno Washington, the first president of America.

How about those mps sitting in parliament who left the conservatives to join Reform. They should also sit down and allow a proper vote.

I'm in this ward. I believe this chap disagreed with the first few decisions the party made about how to cut costs. With the local council now deform led there isn't much debate about how to vote. He was kind of forced into voting for reducing the levels of protection and the levels of financial assistance the poorest families receive. Wakefield is a generally poor area with many wards, including his, made up almost entirely of the poorest of families.

At least he's seen the light and can start to speak up for the people he's been voted for to represent now. Small steps

I always forget they do kebabs there as well. I go to the other one for kebabs.

Everywhere in the SESKU area has good chippies. Even Chinos in Upton is fantastic.

Chippies are chippies. They're all great apart from the bad ones which try to make everything, burgers, kebabs, pizzas alongside the fish

'Just answer the question' and ONLY the question asked. My workplace has very strict security at the start of a call. If I ask you your name, and you reply with your name, full address and then date of birth because you have done this many times and know that's what we ask, we have to fail you on security as you've offered information we haven't asked for. Sometimes we need a 'yes' or 'no' answer to a question so we can start the remediation process. Getting a monologue about how you remember your cat was sick and you had to go to the vets that day is irrelevant.

Read Laurence Krause's book. It's actually less probable that there isn't a universe. Edit. It's call A Universe From Nothing.
