The novelist and Countdown sage loves Roxy Music and a certain Gloria Gaynor anthem, but which pop lothario would she queue up for tickets to see?
The first song I remember hearing
It’s a toss-up between Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. My parents were big Beatles fans and both songs filled my childhood home. I can launch into each of them the moment I hear the first beat.
The song that is my karaoke go-to
Given enough wine I reckon I could belt out I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. I’d also love to have a go at Perfect Skin by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, the first band I saw live. I secretly wanted to be the girl in the song: “cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin”.
