I could have bet on this. :laugh:

Mika
( https://youtu.be/0CGVgAYJyjk?si=Cr62zkv35PMcXl3K)I could have followed "Grace" with "Jones", but there are too many of those on the song titles thread!

I'll follow "Mika" with:

Häkkinen

(and you've probably guessed that one as well!)

[Steve Boyd]

Flying

[gadjo_dilo]

Flying
Noooo.... i didn't know it was his nickname although initially I wanted to write Finn thinking of a Flying Finn but then I thought it's a confusion in my head and it's only a Flying Dutchman. :laugh: :laugh:

To continue:
Dutchman

[Steve Boyd]

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at the end of a rally stage.

Next:
Ghost ship (which is what The Flying Dutchman was)

Runcorn Riot Squad
(In fact I was about to write "hooligans" but since you said you were there I thought twice :p)
There wasn't any crowd trouble in Rome in '77. Controlled ticket sales, no mobile phones, no internet, no social media and good crowd management - so different from today.

To follow Runcorn Riot Squad:

Village Idiots

I’d love to be in Italy right now, sitting on a terrace, savoring a plate of fresh pasta under the sun.

This has been one of those perfect days where everything just feels right—imagining myself with a Prosecco in one hand and a vape in the other, soaking in the atmosphere. If you're looking for something similar to unwind, a good vaping session with a glass of wine could do the trick. To get started, you might want to check out Nexus Smoke (https://nexussmoke.com/) for some quality options.

Turkish rock:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W5BA0lDVLM

The first voice you hear is from the original Colonel Bagshot recording. It a chap called Kenny Parry, who is a regular in my local pub both as a customer and a perfromer with his current band. I believe that there have been so many views of this video that he's actually received a royalty payment!

[gadjo_dilo]

Great video! I liked it and even shared it on fb. :laugh:
But what " first voice", isn't just one guy singing?

Back to topic and turkish rocks: Kapadokya

[Steve Boyd]

THere are two vocalists + backing on the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT9FG36ExhY) and I wasn't sure what had been sampled all the way through.
