Simon? Simon Cowell??

[Northender]

Yes, that Simon. 'U' is reportedly a great favourite of his, but not necessarily in the two versions referred to here.
The punctuation of the question is correct.

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes, that Simon.

Getting all greased up and limbered up for the return of X Factor this weekend, Northo?

[Northender]

Definitely not! It's just that Simon Cowell's name name cropped up when I was compiling the question. He very probably has views on the performances of this reported favourite of his by the trio and the duo who also feature in the question.

An exemplary answer, if I may make so bold! Over to you!

It's a lovely tune; also covered by Jimmy Young in the days before Raimondo kept asking him for recipes. (On his final programme before the Beeb "retired" him, his producer sneaked the recording in as a last item.)


This is probably a "repeat", but ...

A V connecting Death, Games and a Three-cornered Hat.

Not that I know of: but there is a connection with Diaghilev.
