This is what we tell them

[Muffin Top]

Should be an easy one this, it's part of a podcast. Solo female

I just wish they'd leave us alone ...

Cos when we tell them ... just how much we love each other
It's the same old song and dance, they say it's a puppy love romance
They don't know how we feel inside and just how much they hurt our pride
And this is what we tell them CHORUS

Half an hour of googling: nothing. Anyone recognise it?

Why Don't They Leave Us Alone - Little Carl Carlton reckon - on Backbeat

[Muffin Top]

Thanks Tiddles, you're brilliant. I think I got the gender wrong

[steve womack]

;D Isn't that great I was looking at this earlier and carl carlton popped into my head but then I thought No!!! MT has put 'solo female' so I assumed it was something else.
Having just listened to it I have to admit Carl really does sound like a woman and I've never thought about it before HOW strange!!!.
I just assumed they called him 'little' because at the time it was the in thing i.e. Little Stevie Wonder maybe it meant something else ;D ;D ;D ;D
Still love Comp ain't nothing though

Well done tiddles.

If you listen really carefully, he morphs from female to male after the first verse or so. Little Carl was billed as '14 year old sensation' it seems, so maybe it was hormones at work

The flip to it was called something like "One In The Bag(the others on its way)" ;D

O yeah, I remember them

'Come where the hands are clapping,
Come where the toes are tapping,
Come where the jocks are strapping....'
