As a kid, I thought the Karma chorus was "Every day is like the Bible/You're my lover, not my rival."

Voted Blue Monday.

Superstar - Lydia Murdock is the worst song here. I've never been a big fan of "answer" songs and Lydia's is particularly anodyne.

I have never heard the Ryan Paris song before!!! Given it went top 10 I am amazed I have no recollection of it. Maybe he never performed it on TOTP.

I don't think I've ever heard "Midnight At The Lost and Found," but it's funny to think there's a lost-and-found anywhere that stays open 24 hours.

just read the lyrics and as I suspected "lost and found" is being used euphemistically for "singles bar"

Or then again, he doesn't say that the L&F is open.

Interesting how "Go Deh Yaka" got a lot of positive mentions in the thread, yet no votes.
