Theme 404 - Around and about - song titles which feature either of the words "around" or "about" - Val - VOTING closed MIDNIGHT Sunday December 10th

[Val]

Should be clear enough I'd hope, I will also happily accept 'round (as long as it's clearly a contraction of around) and 'bout (same meaning as about).

The next FIVE themes are:

* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 1
Up on Dec 10, nominations close Dec 17; voting closes Dec 24
I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting just because the Festive Season can get busy.
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 2
Up on Dec 25, nominations close Jan 1; voting closes Jan 7
I've allowed one week for nominations and another week for voting just because the Festive Season can get busy.
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 3 (finishes Sunday January 14)
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 4 (finishes Sunday January 21)
* Cream Of 2023 - Winter - Round 5 (finishes Sunday January 28)

and keep those new themes coming at:

I'm assuming 'songs which feature' means just in the title, rather than being prominent in the lyrics.

Apologies for not being clearer. Yes, I meant title only. I'll amend the heading.

Sorry I missed the last round, now I'm struggling with this one. Thought I'd cracked it with Around The World by Daft Punk but pesky Helen beat me to the punch, bah humbug! Could I be evil and nominate a certain Wet Wet Wet song....hmm.

Got a bit confused as to which version of Bonnie we're supposed to be voting on. "Fun version" is crap but the original would have gotten points. So, I went with the video/version in the playlist - soz.
