Just really interested to hear what Sotonians believe is the best song that Boney M ever covered?
What is it Sotonians? (@Fowllyd, any ideas?)
Are you off your medication again?

What took you so long? For my money it would be Maryās Boy Child, but Iām sure others will have differing views. Some may go for Brown Girl in the Ring, though this is perhaps less a cover than an interpretation of a childrenās song.
I heard it said somewhere or other that they had done a cover of King of the Road, but I suspect thatās inaccurate. Hard to imagine such a thing being true.
Like this you mean?
Blimey. Iād never have believed it if I hadnāt seen and heard it on here. That was one hell of a find, Bletch - I really must congratulate you.

For the uninitiated @Fowllyd (and his ever loving life) and I (and my ever loathing wife) periodically enter a local pub quiz.
We did so last Thursday evening and during the music round, that cover of King of the Road was played and we were asked to name who was covering it.
Upon hearing the string arrangement and the voice of the female singer I told @Fowllyd that it was Boney M.
āI donāt know who it is,ā says @Fowllyd, ābut it isnāt Boney Mā.
He got a bit racist too by telling me that the singer was definitely white and English.
I think he wrote down āSandy Shawā as our answer, but it might have been āEva Braunā, Iām not sure.
Itās OK though because Iām over it now.
