Had that moment last week.
T.G. Shepherd's "Slow burn" (1983) starts with the line, "She's got that dark hair flowing across her shoulders."
For the last 25 years I've been singing it "She's got that dark-haired boy across her shoulders," envisioning the singer watching jealously as his girl dances across the room with someone else, younger and better looking.
There is a dance position, where the girl holds her hands at shoulder height, palm up and the boy wraps his right arem around her shoulders to hold her right hand.
