The Full Monty - Soundtrack

A couple of years ago, Lewis, the elder of the two dave27-ettes, and his mates were absolutely obsessed with the whole Full Monty thing - they had never seen it mind, they were just fascinated by the curious craze of getting naked in public and as his birthday party was fast approaching there was an inevitable schoolboy plan developing in their young heads.
