the poignant:

"The Living Years" (Mike and the Mechanics)

For those of us with somewhat complicated family trees, how about "I'm My Own Grandpa"?

Wow Stephen, I come back after almost a month and this topic is still going Grin
Have you compiled the top 20 yet?  How about In My Life by The Beatles or The Orange & The Green by The Irish Rovers. In fact when my husband and I where married in 1985, we had to go to the Uniting Church because of the orange and the green "problem"  Wink 23 years on we still laugh about that one Cheesy

Hi Ann in Oz, Glad you are enjoying this bit of fun as much as I have. Some interesting ones have come to light. Hope to keep it going for a while longer, then who knows maybe some sort of compilation to while away those difficulties or success stories. Cheers, Stephen Smiley Wink
