I once heard Flo and Eddie on stage intermingle "You Showed Me" 
with "Riders On The Storm".

Glad to see somebody else rememember that commercial
riff. Ray Davies threatened to sue them at one time
for "Hello I Love You". However, I recall the similarity
between his "Tin Soldier Man" and the Mountie's tune
from the musical "Rose Marie".

Thanks to the boys in the control room for posting the photo 
of EG and ME - in case someone takes a look at it, I should 
add that the photo went out with the caption:

ELLIE AND BELL HAVE A WINNER!!

It kind of makes more sense that way.

I'm afraid it's one of the worst records ever made - sentimental, 
sickly and sung by gap-toothed six year olds. "Grandma we love you, 
grandma we do"...
