Not sure what Roger was thinking covering a novelty song like that, Covid brainfog or maybe he admired Russell Grant's version from some years ago, I'm sure we all remember it- NASTY!

I heard one yesterday which I hadn't heard for a while, Erasures dreadful attempt at Abbas Take a chance on Me. And here it is in all its glory: Annie has always liked ABBA so got quite irritable that Erasure covered many of their songs. I agree with her, this can go in Room 101 as well: ... as can this: ... and this: ... as well as this: Are Erasure still going or did the partnership lead by Andy Bell end? Sam

I don't know anything about Erasure at all, they were around at the time when my music interest had dwindled away to practically zero.

Are Erasure still going or did the partnership lead by Andy Bell end? Still going with an album out last year. I hated their Abba-esque period too. Sam - was the last sentence in your post a Freudian Slip or have I been watching too many Carry On films over the last 50 years ?

Why I don't know but this has just cropped up in suggested tunes on Youtube.
I thought it crap when it was in the charts and time hasn't changed that opinion.

The only other thing I remember them doing was The Boston Tea party and I didn't particularly like that either

I quite like this cover and it's one that could go either way but...
