MISTER SINGALONG - the songbooks
As you can see, the songs tend to be on the gentler side - more Beatles than Stones, more Robbie than Big Country.
(On the whole, if bands have trousers that hang really low, and show their boxers, they aren't on the list. Don't even look for them. You know what I am saying).
