Lily Was Here

Simon Mayo|06:31 UK time, Tuesday, 18 May 2010

A hit for Candy Dulfer in 1989 but nothing to do with today's programme merely to provide a headline for the appearance of Lily Allen. She is on the show after 6 and has just returned from Brazil where she has been working on a Save-the-Rainforest campaign. I spoke to her just after she had been seen crying when Fulham lost the Europa Cup Final - you'll get all the details after 6.

Regular followers of my tweets will know by now that occasionally, just occasionally, my spelling lets me down somewhat (although I did get 'occasionally' right first time). So I watch spelling bee competitions with awe. The Times is running one for schools at the moment and it has reached the semi-final stage. The teams have already negotiated words such as 'symbiosis' and 'maelstrom' and now reach the real tough stuff. So for the oldies today we'll have a go at spelling songs. And there are loads of them! Leave your favourites below and we'll put the best on after 5.

And also a confession that you can listen to while eating. See you later...
