[Babybob]

Not sure if it's been done before but just for a bit of fun can you name any bands/singers/artists etc that have a place name in their title......


I'll start with one of my favourite bands of all time...

Kansas.

it was a classic.....i am still laughing. I even gave her the example of texas beforehand to make sure she knew what i meant, obviously straight in one ear and out the other....she is now pretending that she was winding me up when i know she wasnt....she forgets i remember all the stupid things she has said in the past....this being one of them...

I am struggling with this game...
