Some of my favourite tracks in this week’s show are: Words from Boyzone. I don’t know why but this track always takes me to the brink of tears. the lyrics aren’t particularly sad, I think it must be the music that gets to me.

Chicago and Hard Habit To Break – written by Steve Kipner and Jon Parker. Kipner also wrote the Olivia Newton-John hit, Physical.

REO Speedwagon Keep on Loving You and of course The Righteous Brothers –  Unchained Melody

The band name ‘Barenaked Ladies’ was created to freak out the organisers of a concert at which the band was playing (so I understand)
