Snapshots Spillover: More!!!!


Even more exclamations of exasperation and surprise... starting with the ones I mentioned briefly yesterday...

Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren - Goodness Gracious Me!

Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire!

Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly!

And then we might also shout...

Kate Bush - Wow!

The Blue Aeroplanes - Huh!

Captain Sensible - Wot!?

Marina & The Diamonds - Oh No!

Gay Dad - Jesus Christ!

Blancmange - Bloody Hell Fire!

But I think this one has most of the bases covered...

About This Blog

Just the humble witterings of a middle-aged music fan from the north of England. I don't claim these lists to be definitive, I haven't heard every record ever produced (though I have heard a good number of them), I don't believe my opinion to be any more valid than yours.

I just like listening to old songs from my record collection and writing about them. Your recommendations are always welcome... if I've missed your favourite - let me know in the comments.
