Thks bro, just kidding eh. I am sure Bread is quite popular with many of us here cos during party last time, when Bread song play, we can grab a girl and rabba rabba...ooops! I mean slow dance.

I heard The Wailers are playing in town tonight. So a tribute to someone i am sure they love and miss very much - Bob Marley.

ROD from youtube, so next best... (keeping in tune with this thread?)

BRINGING ON BACK THE GOOD TIMES
The Love Affair

Since you went away I've been losing my sleep at night
Never thought there 'd come a day
when you'd be back to make everything right,
but how wrong could I be
'Cos now you're here with me
Bringing on back the good times,
taking away the pain.
You're bringing on back the good times
and I'm living on air,
So glad that you're there,
sweeping away the sad times,
making me laugh again

I've never been loved by anybody
that's quite like you,
So when you're telling me
of all the things you want me to do,
now you've made me see
what you mean to me
You're bringing on back ....

It was always burning

But we tried to fight it
