tamika Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I love the 500 miles song. when I first heard GK I thought the "could be" part sound like the "gonna be". they dont sound very alike now. Last time I saw alist about his top 5, he had MCR's welcome to the black parade. I wonder were the view's same jeans went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say this, but I bought my first Proclaimers *cassette* back in the mid-1980s at Tower Records in London! Been a fan ever since. As for the rest of Mika's playlist, I quite like all the tunes except I'm not familiar with the Nina Simone song. How did I miss that one?

Christine Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I saw/read something recently about Martin doing the Proclaimers song to distract the audience while they tried to sort out a technical problem?? Anyone remember this? I think it was in Ibiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
