Right then folks - how good is your music knowledge? Let's get your brain into gear and see whether you're a musical genius with today's festive 'Sunday SongFacts' on Beverley FM. See how you do with these....

• This Christmas song is a collaboration between a London-based Celtic Punk Band, who’s lead-singer was born on Christmas Day, and female solo artist, and it reached no 2 in December of 1987
• It tells the story of an Irish couple who emigrate to America in the hope of making it as entertainers in New York. In the end they end up destitute with their dreams in disrepair
• The video for the song features the New York Police Department’s Pipe Band singing the theme tune to The Mickey Mouse Club, with the footage slowed down to make it appear they were singing a different d**g

What's the song? Leave your guess here and I'll reveal the answer and play you the song at around 1:15 on Beverley FM

Hello there - It's another breezy and blustery Sunday lunchtime once again, and I'm back on Beverley FM for the next couple of hours with this little lot.....

• I'll let you know about all of the festive goings-on this afternoon across Beverley and East Yorkshire at around 12:15
• I'll dig out and dust off a couple of birthday ‘Eighties Greaties’ at 12:25, this week featuring songs from Vanessa Paradis and Deacon Blue
• See how much of a musical genius you are around 12:45 as we take you back to 1987 and test your musical knowledge with a festive ‘Sunday SongFacts’
• Two very different versions of the same song from 20 years apart in ‘For Better, For Worse’ around 1:30. Today featuring two different incarnations of the same band!
• We’ll finish the show, as we always do, in a big way with ‘The Big End’ just before 2, with a huge Christmas Belter from Greg Lake!

All mixed-in with two hours of the best music, and the usual gibberish from me. Do join me on 107.8 in East Yorkshire, online at BeverleyFM.com, or very nicely ask your smart speaker to play Beverley FM

• The song was originally released with a double-A side, ensuring it continued to be played on the radio and sold in the shops long after Christmas
