Yesterday one of my 麻豆社 colleagues here suggested a song called Mold, sung to the tune of Spandau Ballet's Gold. So here's the challenge: we want you to comment with suggestions for your own Welsh town spoofs.

We've come up with a few (bad) suggestions to get you started: Crumlin Dice by The Rolling Stones; Menai Bridge Over Troubled Water and Don't Go Brecon My Heart. Or how about Laugharne Girl In The Ring, Wind Glynneath My Wings, or A Whiter Shade Of Pyle?

Over to you... Add your suggestions in the comment box below.

If you haven't already got one, a 麻豆社 iD account, you can , it's really easy.

I can't help myself thinking movie names: Bridge over the River Wye, Debbie Does Dowlais... even Arnie refers to South Wales in Terminator II when he says "Ystalyfera baby".
