I may be making a rod for my own back here, but at the special request of the Zeppelin who is one of our most regular Music contributors, I've been persuaded to start another famous vespa.org.uk Music Game.
The theme for this game is: Song titles with units of measurement in them.
Such as: 25 Miles - Edwin Starr
They can be imperial or metric, distance, volume, weight, speed etc, but not time, that'll be for another game. The usual rules apply:
1. Song title followed by the artist (as above) 2. No repetition (so read back through the posts before you make that witty entry) 3. No multiple different versions of the same song 4. No alterations in spelling to make things fit 5. Only one entry per post (if someone beats you to one you were going to post next, that's tough sh*t) 6. Clever entries are welcomed, pathetically tenuous ones are not 7. I, as moderator, reserve the right to delete unsuitable posts in order to keep the size of the thread down
So, you already have my example above, and here is my first entry to get the game going:
Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin

To be blunt zepp, yes you are. ;D
You fancy continental types might be using Kilograms, but we here are steadfastly refusing and still using good old fashioned stones, pounds and ounces.

Doh! Sorry Robjack, I was guilty of not reading the rules properly. I was only thinking of length etc, not weight. Anyway, before I go back to the drawing board; Tiger Feet - Mud.
