Yep, you're right zzxxee, Jim McDonnell (drummer)

[zzxxee]

er boxy erm..........can you highlight where the lyrics

tossing and turning, turning and tossing all night,

come in?

i never had a drop last night either, so if you can show me where them lyrics are......i'm of to the doctors :0(

[boxtops]

No I can't Mick, but the first view verses are definitely from the Stray Cats. Tossing and Turning come in a number of other songs, Ivy League as said http://lyricsplaygrou...ssingandturning.shtml

[tamborine]

not Brit ?

PS there's no tossing and turning in the lyrics you posted earlier!

[Mick-Talbot]

lol boxy i think you have your wires crossed.

[Mick-Talbot]

For Funks Sake i'm getting a migraine ;0)

i posted the stray cat lyrics boxy so zzxxee and bernie could see that wasn't the song jojo wanted. tambo that is not late 70's early 80's

[boxtops]

Might be - I thought you were posting the lyrics on page 1 to find out what they were, defo Stray cats. Tossing and Turning is therefore nowt to do with that?

[zzxxee]

i think to clear up the mick boxy thing i said i thought it was rock this town by stray cats mick then posted lyrics that dont mention tossing and turning at all and boxy has got a little confused somewhere xxx
there lets all go and have a lie down now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boxtops]

^ crossed with mine, thank God for that! I'll go and paint the ceiling now.

[Mick-Talbot]

well this confusion is making me laugh anyway boxtops
i'll just move my cereal bowl before i start banging my head on the table ....

The Stray Cats aren't British btw. Showaddywaddy also did that Bobby Lewis song.

[Mick-Talbot]

I can remember Matchbox having one of the stupidest names for a song ever
