"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand" to give it it's full title.

I was introduced to Primitive Radio Gods by an ex.  I've always had a thang for Luke McAuliffe after seeing a naked photo...

OK - an easy one for 80's folk...

Oh how can you be so cold
With my arms to hold you?

I had to sing it through to get there, though ;D  I could hear her voice, but couldn't place it.

Here's a question, then.

How would a Mexican Whistler and Celina's other half be able to better inform the Only Man On The Island?

Yeah.  I thought people might be a bit bored of What Links?  I did one that might take a bit more intensive Gewgling, so it's not just fastest finger first ;)

I like RBQ.

Implausible teeth may be in there somewhere ;D

Hope that doesn't put anyone else off the scent, though.

I know that her husband is a Beverly Hills dentist and fixed her once wonky teeth.
The other one is an overly toothy bastard.
Whistle through your teeth.


That's why I was getting teeth.    ;D

Tommy Steel was Only Man on The Island.  Depends on which Celina you're referring to...

...the Mexican Whistler: Ennio Morricone by any chance?

Warmer.  You've got the only teeth I was thinking of.  It's Steele with an 'e', by the way - show respect to the British Elvis! ;D

Celina will be the harder one to crack.  But, if you can sort out the Mexican Whistler (not Morricone), and find a link to Steele, you'll have a pointer.

The only other Mexican Whistler I can think of is the Roger Whittaker song...

I think I'm getting close to cracking this one - is it something to do with the first two answering a question posed by the last?

Not a question, really.  Just that they know a lot more about the subject broached by the third.

Nope.  But thinking about Steele's singles discography and info about Whittaker could lead you to an interesting convergence.

OK, what do we know about Roger Whittaker?

And which of Steele's singles is related to that biographical fact?

Expand if you would, and give me the third name... ;)

I would say that it's not quite as specific as Nairobi, but that's a big part of it.
