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',"

    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)   
    • I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!
