An 80s 'Doubles' special

It's an 80s "Doubles" special -- songs with the most tenuous connections we can find; two songs about shapes, two eponymous hits, two sung by a bloke called Mark, and two 'fruity' singers! We also have singing families, two Eastenders, and two things you find in a bathroom!
