Jah, you say Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head was written by Cathy Dennis. According to Paul Morley it was written by Rob Davies, formally of Mud.


PGC - you say yours was Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis. Funnily enough, Morley reckoned a test for any great Pop sng was whether you could imagine it sung by Elvis. Works surprisingly well for "can't get you out of my Head" but somehow can't imagine him doing justice to "This Charming Man"

I was under the impression it was Cathy Dennis *sigh* and Wikipedia backs me up:


"[Cathy's] highest-selling composition, "Can't Get You out of My Head" (recorded by Kylie Minogue), spent four weeks at number one in Britain, rekindled interest in Minogue in America, where it hit #7 on the Hot 100, and sold over three million copies worldwide to become the world's second highest selling single in 2001."

"this is what we want - more gig recommendations

I'm in" - SeanMacGabhann


OK SeanMacGabhann see you at the the Hope & Anchor on 22/1.

Junkbox are a top pseudo-punk outfit IMO.


I am setting a band night up at the 10 Club on Oxford St. in either June or August it'll be 8-10 quid for 4-5 bands.

Top venue, cheap beer and handy location.

More info to appear once the Saturday evening is booked.

Good old Cathy, she did a lovely version of Waterloo Sunset at some stage in the 90s.


When I think about defining pop moments, I think of Thriller (the song itself not the whole album, although you could argue both), and I guess Wannabe (horrific as it is).

No Jah, I am not confusing anything about the writing of "Can't get you out of my Head" - that is down to Paul Morley, for it was him, honest governor what said it was Rob Davis: I am the humble messenger, so please don't shoot! However, further to Mockney's post re Wikipedia and Cathy Dennis, my own little bit of snoopery found this quote in Sound on Sound magazine: "Rob Davis is one of the most successful professional songwriters in Britain. With Cathy Dennis, he wrote and produced Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head',"

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
