Amazon exiles discussion

I think the theme should be self-explanatory. After a bit of faffing around, I've restricted it to track titles only.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 483 - Flower Power - song titles containing the name of a flower eg. Rose, violet, daffodil, jasmine, tulip etc. etc. - Helen
Theme 484 - All You Can Eat - song titles or band names with something edible contained therein - Tim
Theme 485 - Songs with Guitar Intros - Jemma
Theme 486 - Cities, towns, villages, hamlets, population centers in general. Residencies are not ok. eg Back In The Village is ok, Home Sweet Home is not. - Sera
Theme 487 - Original versions of songs that would be completely overshadowed by later 'hit' covers - Tim

And new ideas needed at:

Where did The Simple Minds track with no video link come from?

Presumably it was on the Duke's shortlist and got added accidentally. Otherwise, who knows.

Opps, apologies, a wee oversight, now removed.
