THIS SONG IS CATCHY AND PAUL EVANS, HAVING A WELSH SURNAME, WAS OBVIOUSLY BORN TO SING! ROLF HARRIS AND KYLIE MINOGUE ARE HALF-

WELSH. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE: THOSE WELSH PEOPLE WERE BORN TO SING!!

DES, DUBLIN, SOUTHERN IRELAND.

Apparently someone called Leah Jane Beranati. She has a studio in Nashville.

Was mentioned on Radio 2 today on the Graham Norton show.

It's very upbeat considering the subject matter!

I don't know who she is but is she an older relative of Cat Deeley? She looks similar.

@jezebel892 What's the point of thanking Allah when he doesn't exist?

[joanyh]

Brilliant lyrics and great catchy tune.Pity it ends tragic but the message is don`t drink and drive. This song should be used in a drink drive campagne.

Thanks for posting this track , its brought back childhood memories.
