Well done Ruth. It was Arlo! I bought an album of his after watching a television programme here about the American rail roads which featured his haunting version of City Of New Orleans. Alice's Restaurant was on this.

Don't know who did "Hello In There".

Hi Rod:

I love it too:  Good morning, America, how are ya?  Don't you know me, I'm your native son....great song that.

Hello In There is from an American folk singer, somewhat in the same vein as Arlo and Woody Guthrie.  I'll leave it up another day to see if anybody else gets it.  It's another haunting song, about growing old.

Not sure about this. Remember the catchy song though.
By coincidence, we were at The Lowry on the Salford Quays only last Monday, viewing the artist's work. Well worth seeing, plus the film there about his life which lasts about twenty minutes.

I had to google it, and still didn't recognize the names. I remember the song well, an annoying tune. I believe the music video was well done though.

I remember Michael and Oliver making matchstick men, cats and dogs! Does that count?

Answer therefore: Michael and Oliver! Lol

Yeah, it counts, Ron.

I can 'see' them singing it, but I would never have remembered who they were. I think they were a one hit wonder. 

Who sang 'Build me up Buttercup'?

Ah, I know this one Sue but I'll leave it a while to see if anybody else gets it. It's all about building on a concrete base isn't it? Lol
