The sleeve is a little too sexy for a charity record.Or might it be a desperate attempt at rescuing the remains of a career already in tatters?

I have to go out for an hour or two now, but it was jolly nice talking to you all. I'm not in work today.

Pookie: it's been a while, eh? I hope everything is good.

Dolly for me.

On the subject of Bunton, I didn't fancy her in the Spice days, but she's had a late blosomming which has led to me finding her very attractive indeed. Her music is still munting though.

I haven't heard any cover versions of "Downtown" besides Sinatra's and B-52s and chose Petula Clark.

Songfacts: This was Petula Clark's first hit in the US. She was the first female singer from England to hit #1 in the US during the Rock era (after 1955).This won a Grammy in 1965 for Best Rock & Roll Recording, making Clark the first British singer to win a Grammy. In 2003, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for above 2)A British songwriter and producer named Tony Hatch wrote this. During the '60s, he wrote most of Clark's material, including her follow-up hit "I Know a Place" (which also dealt with city life).After the words, "And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you," there is the drum roll from Little Peggy March's #1 version of the French tune "Chariot." In 1962 Petula had a big continental hit with the same song, which was also known as "I Will Follow Him." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)This was used for the soundtracks of the films Twin Town (1997) and Girl, Interrupted (1999). (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA)

Fact: The CD that she puts in is not Petula Clark's. It is Speaking In Tongues by Talking Heads.

IIIIIIIII LOVE THIS SONG! (Only ever heard the Petula Clark version though)
When I used to go downtown a lot, I'd sing it the whole bus ride there and everyone would get annoyed hahah.
