Thinking of the theme I imagined the classic country relationship songs and tried to come up with an original angle of incorporating ( shoe horning?!) some 1970’s UK gameshow titles into the song. For once the words, tune and chorus all came together very quickly so seizing the moment I made a quick video recording and entered the challenge!

Quick work! And a great story. The golden shot eh? I used to love watching that. I really enjoyed listening to this.
Clever Lyrics Mark.
Invokes many happy TV memories too!👍
Very clever lyrics, glad you were able to incorporate some BBC radio 4 contributions. Did you play your Joker?
Your lyrics tell a great story! Nice vocals.
Great stuff Mark. Well done. Really enjoyed this.
Good ideas…..come on down……Like the juxtaposition of a relationship start/finish with gameshow culture catchphrases linking it all up. Really well done!
Very original idea. Well done.
Who needs massive production when you can produce something like this. Very clever and very enjoyable Mark.
Really original song (and it’s hard to be original with country) you’ve got me all misty-eyed thinking of those ’70s songs. The cover picture featuring (if memory serves) Anne Aston and Wei Wei Wong took me back, too. I really like the cut of your jib. Cheers.
Brilliant! This really made me smile – I imagine you had a lot of fun writing this. The lyrics make you want to listen hard unless you miss the next reference. What a great idea! And it’s definitely met the ‘country’ brief.
Cousin Bob Monkhouse! Well, sort of. My cousin Jackie was married to Bob. A really nice man. As a 14 year old I was part of a group that auditioned for Opportunity Knocks and I still remember what Hughie Green said as we reached verse two of Plaisir d´Amour. He said “Next!” A brilliant idea to incorporate those game shows into a story although I was sort of triggered by the Hughie Green reference. I might need a lie down
Very clever lyrics Mark. Very good song – in fact, It’s a knockout!
Just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone for their supportive comments. very much appreciated!
Very witty, Mark. You took me on a journey through all my misspent gameshow-watching hours! Very enjoyable. The time you’ve spent crafting those lyrics was worthwhile 😎.
Loved this, really clever lyric. As Paul says the lyrics make you concentrate so as not to miss anything, brilliant!
