Shirley?

Postby dkmp25 » Sun Mar 14, 2004 6:41 am

I'm trying to recreate an old mix tape I found from 1987 -- there's a song on it that I think is called "Shirley," but I don't know the artist and haven't been able to figure it out online.

Billy Bragg. It's called 'Greetings to the new brunette.' It also features the late great Kirsty MacColl on backing vocals.

Thanks everyone for the Billy Bragg hint. Except the person who called me a tool.
