I hope we all agree that this theme was worth doing twice and that we all have another duo of same title songs ready to go.

The next five themes are:

Theme 404 - Around and about - songs which feature either of the words "around" or "about" - Val

I'm putting my hand up as the oldest poster on these threads. Anyone owning up to more than 74?? So no apologies for nominating these two classy ladies from the 60s even if they're not your thing.

Interestingly, I have third options for three title nominations over this and the previous round, all of which I think are better known than the two that were actually selected. In this batch it's Talk Talk for It's My Life.
