I think I may have it---is it "Can this be love" ?

Well done, Marian. You got it! We all know that Harry's favourite song is From Russia With Love. And we know that Lena's favourite song is Can This Be Love. Even though I'm still learning the songs on disc 1 of The Rare Monro, I think I'll dig out A Time For Love from its rainy day cache and listen to Can This Be Love soon.

Your turn to submit a really tough one!

I have to say Jeff, that it is only that last clue that gave it to me---and strangely enough , I had remembered that "From Russia with Love"s Harry's favourite, but I had to look up Lena's one.


I shall pick out a song shortly and think up a really tough clue for it, by tomorrow

After reading your last clue Jeff, it came to me straight away, as I remembered Harry's favourite is FRWL and that Lena's is CTBL. But Marian had beaten me to the answer :roll: :roll: I didn't have to look the answer up either :wink: :lol:

Wow, we'll have to go back on the Phillosan, I was miles out with my thinking on this one, but nice to know that we were both in mind for your antonym Paul. :lol: :lol:

Here is my new one--it is not really that difficult---but I really like this clue--

Thought I'd try "Going Places," but they are, so it's probably wrong!! :roll:

Some really good guesses--I liked "Hello young Lovers" and "New York, New York" was a really good try---but you are all still wrong !!
