Saturday 12th January - Benediction time

‘Tas been a while, so let’s brighten up a dull winter’s tale with a visit to Hartley’s.

Route out will be Puxton, Sandford, Wrington should you wish to latch on.

Poptasms:
These artists did have songs which included the word ‘don’t’; who, and with what songs? (Year of songs included as you wouldn’t get some otherwise)

CR - 1979
SM - 1985
TW - 2002
HL - 1981
CG - 1977
EG - 1982
B - 1969
TB - 2014
O - 1995
GOF - 1983
A - 1998
TP - 1980

PS - please note deliberate absence of a Pink Floyd entry.... because as everyone knows, we DO need educating.

PPS there are loads more, feel free to add.

Well i can get the obvious one Human League

Maybe we should ask Mr Hartley - A pox on you sire and your modern tunes, thou should learn the ways of the lyre and now for some doughy sustenance and a cup of the finest beans brought to your table by a comely wench for but a small consideration (trans: A cup of coffee and a pancake - £10)

1979 Cliff Richard - Please Don't fall in love
1980 The Police - Don't stand so close to my ego
1982 Eddie Grant - I don't wanna dance
1977 - Chris Gough - I don't wanna go on the front
1983 - Gang of Four - Don't Know

It has just occurred to me that Pink Floyd were in agreement with me.

I concur that we DON’T need NO education. Bravo to them for taking such a responsible attitude.

Yes Cliff Richard but 1979 saw his classic hit with the unforgettable ‘roller skate’ video.

Nice try with Chris Gough, close but CG was a country singer.

TW was a cover version, but much better than the original.

If Nick doesn’t get SM he needs shooting.

Ah ok Crystal Gayle - Don’t it make my brown eyes blue
