yippeee!

Ricky you star! Wonderful, it is Vanilla Ice singing "Ice Ice Baby"!

A karma goes to you.

Rock on Ricky.....!

It's amazing how similar it is to "Under Pressure"! Ice Ice Baby is the tune used in a beer ad in SA, so I knew it, but the similarity between it and Queen was quite baffling, but there you go..........I have aged considerably since you took over this topic!!

Robert Bruce · January 30, 2012, 06:23:03 PM

Oh dear! Ricky I am so sorry to be the cause of your premature ageing. But I can take comfort in the fact that back in our OPS days you were older than me. And now 40 years later - you still are older than me............! YIPPPEEEEE!

;0) Heeheehee!

And just by pure coincidence I have a song here that will very gently swoop you back to those good old days when music was music and Strauss waltzes and the Polka were the vogue..........!

So without further ado, who croons this song and what is its title?

Ricky Barron (RIP) · January 31, 2012, 07:08:27 AM

Anyone who had a heart - Written by Burt Bacharach for Dionne Warwick (also sung by Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield and a few more I would guess)

Robert Bruce · January 31, 2012, 07:12:05 AM

Ricky - you got the song correct soo get a karma but for a bonus - which of those singers really brought the song to international attention?

Hint: I am not after Dione Warwick.

Ricky Barron (RIP) · January 31, 2012, 07:21:41 AM

Cilla Black?

Robert Bruce · January 31, 2012, 07:26:10 AM

Wowzer..!! You got it first time! Congratulations.

A bonus karma is on its way to you now.

Yes Cilla hit the real international spotlight with the song.

Update: Ricky, The forum rules say I have to wait an hour before being permitted to award you your bonus karma. So I'll do this when I get to the office.

Have a good day!
