@ladyfiona Can you please add the -6 points for Frankie Vaughn – Tower of strength please?

I guess justonecornett  added them a little later...

Thank you!

[ladyfiona 2,041]

Hang on I think I did an error - give me 1 minute.

 

Edit - fixed it.

[justonecornetto 783]

@ladyfiona sorry I made a mess of my edit and had to do a second edit

 

Just seen that this has been spotted

[ladyfiona 2,041]

I did a double copy for some reason. I didn't add the -6 to Frankie Vaughn because I think @justonecornetto fixed it?

 

Edit - Well something Happened but all is good again.

@Paul Bearer I hear you, fellow Olde person.  I know too many of these lol.  
It’s early so let’s move a few songs in the right directions.  I’m not a big Elvis fan but I know a good Elvis song vs shite, thus my votes.

Tell Laura I Love Her is pure evil.  The story (lyrics) leave wee vomit in my throat upon listening.  It’s my personal target, it can be yours too for the low price of a vote!

14 Frankie Vaughn – Tower Of Strength

14 Everly Brothers – Walk Right Back/Ebony Eyes

11 Ricky Valance – Tell Laura I Love Her
