Damn you beat me to it I was going to dispense some advice and tell him to go with the Flo.
Sorry I didn’t see someone else had already annoyed you with the same dead pun.

Good one start writing the Chorus now!
That is the chorus.
Verse 1
Wanna tell ya about my baby
You know she comes around
She’s about five feet four
From her head to the ground
Verse 2
You know she comes around here
At just about midnight
She make ya feel so good, Lord
She make ya feel all right
Chorus
And her name is G. L. O. R. I. A
Gloria etc

Please check out of the hotel and do your medical Flo I can’t take much more of this.
At least it’s not as bad as that cheap Bond villain fan video bloke doing that Zubimendi song that seemed to put him off.

I can’t believe nobody thought to put something to the tune of Let it go, so I’ll have to try.
Let it go, give to flo
Can’t hold him back anymore
Let it go, pass to flo
Watch him move past their back 4

I knew that already but we normally write our own words to the well known song.
I went to his gig in Edinburgh in the 70s.
I hate that I know the lyrics to this song so well I immediately started trying to write another verse in my head.

We could do the Patti Smith version:
Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine!
Ok mods, I’ll stop there.

I really loved Van Morrison’s version he wrote it in the 60s and Laura Brannigan had a hit with it in the 80s I believe.

This must be one of the Rumour Mill’s longest threads in TIA/TAN history, but with a happy end.

Or the ‘Bent signs’ threads which popped up every 6 months around the final few days of a transfer winow
I’m pretty sure Laura Brannigan’s hit was a completely different song. Might be easier to adapt for Florian for though.
Of course Van Mortison’s is the better song musically.

Dear Mods, Please forgive me, but I just can’t let this go unanswered.
“Gloria” by the Northern Irish band Them, whose lead singer, Van Morrison went on to worldwide fame, is one of the greatest garage rock songs ever written. It’s visceral energy and lust fuelled vigour was a precursor to Punk and, due to its three chord simplicity, it’s been covered by thousands of bands since. The best cover is by Patti Smith, who weaves religious imagery into the profane lyrics and creates something at least equal to the original.
That Laura Brannigan (who?) song is a piece of lame eighties pop rock that should never be mentioned in the same breath.
I’m quite upset and need to lie down and do my breathing exercises.
