This week Paul, Adam.and Elle put their knowledge to the test to come up with five songs sharing the same word in the title - then did it twice more.
A few rabbit holes were followed as the lists crossed soul, disco, rock, pop, rap and funk.
No gimmes like 'love' or 'the'. And yes, 'ain't' is a word!

There's new British soul, old Philly soul, Northern Ireland punks, Korean girls, classic 60s songwriting and New York New Wave of the highest order.

What better way for the See You Down The Front podcast to start 2023 than by looking back at 2022?
In this episode,  Elle, Adam and Paul pick through their Spotify Wrapped to discover what was getting played most last year - often with surprising results.
From new soul to old punk, and Korean pop that's not K-Pop, there's quite the cross section, plus Adam's perennial favourite Japanese Boy.
Also apologies to Sufjan Stevens for shockingly getting the name of his album very wrong. The track's still great though!

Remember when you heard a song and thought that's the most exciting thing I've ever heard? Could have been a new single, an album track, the opening song at  gig - or even a band changing direction. We've all had that buzz from a track that gave you goosebumps - and not always for the same reason. This week Elle, Adam and Paul choose examples of songs that excited them and the reasons behind their choices.

Illness and emigration have put the podcast on hold for a little while, but we've regrouped and we're back with our 50th episode.  Joining us for the first time is Elle who drags us kicking and screaming into the 2010s and beyond, as we each choose our top ten singles of all time. And it wasn't easy! Expect to hear some familiar names for See You Down The Front and a few making the podcast for the first time, but not necessarily the last.
