I know some of you lot are super clued in on music...

I listened to a BBC podcast and there are clips of a song all through but no mention of who sings it and I can't find it online. Any one know?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pt8dl listen at 2:22 for example

If you say red light I'll stop, if you say green light I'll go...

It sounds like an American 50's singer of country origins or maybe someone like Guy Mitchell.
Hmmm good one Gardner. :?

:roll: How could you have listened to it and thought it was Frankie goes to Hollywood? :roll:
It's obviously an American with a slight country twang and the song has a 50's feel about it.
Micheal???!! What do you think?

Well done.
Never heard of him but i looked it up this morning in my Guinness book of Pop music and saw Red Light,Green Light,Mitchell Torok.
Just too late to show everyone my enormous knowledge of music!!! :cry:
I bet he was Holly Johnson's dad.He played Liverpool Empire when he was touring the UK in 1957.
You never know.Hence the Frankie Goes To Hoolywood feel. :roll:
