Thanks Paul - yes, great holiday thanks, my daughters did karaoke in the campsite bar nearly every night and I got dragged up for this one (sorry for hijacking your quiz here Karen!).
My eldest daughter has a great singing voice (if I say so myself) but even I was fed up with her version of "My Heart Will Go On" after 10 nights  ::).

Whoever wrote the lyrics on the karaoke machine in Spain obviously never heard the un-bleeped version as on the screen it said "son of a gun".
Amazing to thiink that the original *bleep* was so controversial as to cause the censors to cut it in the 1960s.

Hi Karen, I'm late as usual and most are gone, Oh well
