Drat, now I've got a song about Alabama running through my brain
and I'm darned if I can remember who sung it or enough of the
lyrics to do a google!!!!

Nah, it's not 'Oh Susannah' - it's a modern song. I keep wondering if
it's Steely Dan or some group like that -it's got a very nasal
'Alabam' repeat refrain in it. Not 'Alabama', but 'Alabam'.

Drat, it'd disappeared overnight but now I've got it running round in
my head again!

Niel Young?

Bingo!!!!!!!!! Thank you, you hit the nail on the head. Great to have
an answer.

I'm amazed that there are so many songs about Alabama. I've played a
heap on You tube but needed the answer before I could haear the right
one. Thanks again. Sorry for the delay in replying - been away at the
beach for a few days.
