Can I have a clue please? Also yes, David Dundas did sing that song. He's also a hereditary peer.
Here's one.
My mate Dean, originally from Cornwall, was the drummer for a band who looked like they might go somewhere. They had a day of the week as part of their name.
He was sacked, and replaced by a drum machinelolol
Name both bands.
Likewise, can I have a clue please?

OK...My mate Dean joined BOB, and the day of the week in the original band's name was Wednesday. They were on Pink records, and did a rather winsome version of White Horses.

Jamie Wednesday! That's going back a bit. I think I know the band then - Carter USM.

Top Marks. Mid to late 80s.
Jamie Wednesday were always playing the George Robey at Finsbury Park, or the Bull and Gate, Kentish Town. They were excellent. I haven't seen Dean for years!
Been done before I know but not for a while I don't think. I think the last time that we did this I hardly recognised any of the bands/artists being mentioned
At the time, Mick Jagger was often put forward as the person being referred to in the title of Carly Simon's single "You're so Vain"
In fact he was a backing singer on the record and can clearly be heard on the backing chorus, especially towards the end of the record.
Mick Jagger was on backing vocals on You're so Vain. Have a listen. Clearly Mick
It was about Warren Beatty.
But who wanted to be Warren Beatty's finger tips?

He also did backing vocals for another huge number one from the 60s. Can you name it.

Was it a Stones song covered by someone else? If so, I think I know the song, but can't remember who it was by.

The first one I knew, didn't know about the second. I've a feeling you'll wipe the floor with me on any Stones related trivia!
Here's one from the 80s. Why did Eric Clapton get a credit on the Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms' album despite not writing nor recording any of the songs?

Ah yes, Chris Farlowe. I remembered the song correctly, and could picture CF, but his name wouldn't come.
Because Mark Knopfler was using Clapton's guitar.
