    There's really no such thing as 'too much banjo'. 7.3/10.

    8/10 - I quite like this one actually (even though the lead is painful to watch).

    Is it a little "lively" for you, Six?

    I likeThe Move. It reminds me of being a kid. They sound of the time don't you think? I've just listened to Blackberry Way after listening to that. I sometimes sing it to myself as I ride down Blackberry Lane on my way to work on mm bike on a Monday. Enough of my Whimsy.

    Do you remeber Alan Price?

    I do. And he understood that a catchy, cheerful tune can carry a serious, thoughtful message - this one especially. That's why he was such a fan - and friend - of Randy Newman, by whom, I think, this song was strongly influenced.


    9/10

    I was going to go from there to Jona Lewie. But let's take the next stop to Eric.

    And she probably lives in Tahiti.


    Which in turn featured as an idea in this.

    Thoroughly boring. 3/10

    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    That's the whole point!

    What's the next song?

    Something about Cats has never meshed for me, I just don't like it very much.

    6/10

    The most memorable song from the show is Memory though.
