you know, anxious or because I'm jubilant, which isn't that often, but is this one.

The first line of which is, holy told me there's a fork in the road.

So I walked on down the road a mile and went to the house that raised a smile.

And I've sung that ever since, you know, before this century.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine was a song I learned all the way through because the only bit I knew was, I know a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't keep inside.

And I didn't know anything more of it.

And then I'd have to sing the chorus.

So now I do, I did once know, I'm not sure if I still do, all the words to I Heard It Through the Grapevine.

Then Take Some Time Out for Love, which is a little known early Isley Brothers tune, which I discovered somewhere recently.

a million years ago, and we used to play it at the Stop Making Love Club above the co-op in Caterham High Street when I was in charge of tune selection and dancing because I used to have to go on the floor and dance in the hope that somebody else might dance with me.

And then Bob Dylan's I Threw It All Away, which is a kind of perfect country song

which he just produced after he stopped being the kind of artist that we'd known him as for the first four or five years, and then he kind of became a country artist briefly.

And then there's a song, which I just like the title apart from anything, and it's very catchy, and it's called Any Major Dude Will Tell You.

Incidentally, I think dude, you can hear how uncomfortable I am saying it.

I think it should go on the band list, but with a...

With a caveat, I've never used that word in my life, but I think it's correct, that it's okay for people under 20.

But anyone over 20 that says, dude, you know, they always go that, you know, like, dude.

You know, at the beginning of a sentence, they'll say, dude, what the, you know, like that.

And it just goes through me like a knife.

Anyway, that's by Steely Dan, which is, I think you'll agree, a compulsive little number.
