Metal vs Manilow!
Harrumph!
ANY knacker replacing AC/DC with Barry bloody Manilow quite frankly deserves defenestration! And a whole lot more besides. Boo Don! Go Doyle!
Furthermore, this surely could have only happened with one of these dreadful 21st Century Internet style jukeboxes where (theoretically) they allow you to play anything.
(Had a nasty experience myself in a Rock bar which had replaced their old juke box with one of these monstrosities. Some idiots ended up putting on the likes of Britney Spears & Martine McCutcheon. Rassum frassum…)
Anyway, back to my point. No sympathy at all for Don this issue whatsoever!
Take that Knightflyer!
On the plus side however, Sarah's alive! (And this issue may have gone someway to explaining her peculiar musical tastes).
But she's still not exactly okay...is she?
Luddite Lardboy.
P.S. I know it may not be quite as well known Dave, but surely an even better tune for Doyle would've been, "Dirty Deeds, Done Dead Cheap!"

Re: Metal vs Manilow!
I think "Dirty Deeds, Done Dead Cheap" was one I considered but I went for the one that I thought might be better known.
I might have known you'd be cheering on the villain! But I'll tactfully avoid mentioning that you seem awfully good at recognizing Barry Manilow lyrics...
I remember being in a dodgy bar in Hendon (remember The Bush?) and accidentally putting on a WHAM single, which proceeded to stick and repeat the chorus non-stop... thank God the Angels weren't in that night, or I might not be here to tell the tale!
Now if I was in bar with one of those Internet jukebox things, I'd put on something really long like 2112. Or maybe the entirety of Tales from Topographic Oceans -- two hours of music for the price of four songs, plus you'd have the added bonus of emptying the place!

 I bet everyone in the bar absolutely loved you...!

Re: Metal vs Manilow!
Dave, if I'd've been in that bar with you that night, rest assured you would have been soundly chastised!
Hendon! Why did it have to be Hendon...
Sometimes I'm astonished you yet live!
As for recognising Barry piggin' Manilow lyrics, I think it's cos it's one of my most hated tunes of the Seventies!
(Along with that one done by Dean Friedman...)
Know your enemy! I'm sure Doyle would agree.
'Sides which, he's not a villain! He's a...ahem...businessman.
Lard.
P.S. Hmmm. Was not that Manilow song originally written by one of the Beach bloody Boys? Pah! Yet another one of my most loathed groups...ha ha!
