Theme 370 - Hello, Goodbye - song titles containing the words "hello" or "goodbye". - KJS - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday March 5th

[Val]

I don't think this topic could be any clearer so let's be having your tunes with either (or both) HELLO or GOODBYE in the title.

The next five themes are:

Theme 371 - Rabbit, rabbit... Ooops! - Tracks which have band chatter before or after the song, or have false starts - FishyJim
Theme 372 - To Too Two - Song titles containing one (or more) of the homophones to, too, two - Helen
Theme 373 - Ain't no nothin' to it - Song titles with a contradictory double negative eg Ain't No or Ain't Nothing (The words don't have to be next to each other but the effect has to be the opposite; if there Ain't No Sunshine then there must be some sunshine. Dawn Penn's No No No for instance isn't contradictory, just repetition for emphasis) - Brass Neck
Theme 374 - "Apein' About" - Song titles &/or band names featuring either the word Ape, or any of it's Hominoidean species....except Homo Sapiens. - theDukulele
Theme 375 - Apostrophe Catastrophe - song title has to contain an apostrophe .... simples - Brass Neck

I'll leave a gap where Val's duplication of Prine's song was, for her to put in another choice.

That was a close race at the end but we have a result:

1) It's Jemma with 23 votes for Elton John
2) Duke got 21 votes for The Beatles
3) Collette with 16 votes for The Manhattans

Well done you three. Two wooden spoons awarded to Collette (James Blunt) and Helen (The Primitives). Speaking for myself, I could have given votes to both of them but they missed out in a strong field.

[Jemma]

Val - EJ was my nom. 🤣

Many apologies Jemma - sometimes my eyes just scoot over the page without focussing. You are indeed the very clear winner of this round. Well done!
