A fool such as I...
It's April Fools for tonight so songs about fools, jokes, tricks are welcome.
Despite being caught out by at least one newspaper April Fool the most fun I've had all day has been listening to a David Essex CD which Paul ordered from the library but has no memory of why.
Just the mere mention of David Essex can still make women of a certain age go weak at the knees. Looking at this pic of the twinkly eyed rocker in his peak shows what the Ronan Keatings of this world have got to live up to.
He did get talked into recording some pretty naff things over the years though as this CD shows. It does include Tahiti ( number 8 in the charts apparently!), Myfanwy and the bizzare Me and My Girl (nightclubbing), the 1982 hit which had David going all new romantic and futuristic.
I will hang on to this CD though as one of the great themes suggested last night was artists named after place names and surely there's a space for Mr Essex in there...maybe not Myfanwy though.
