What was number 1 in the Charts the day you were born? Not sure look here http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/member/birthdayno1.php Mine was Carl Douglas-Kung fu fighting, on 21st September 1974. :)
Dance with my father - Luther Vandross makes me cry! Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson makes me happy - reminds me of being very young and carefree! (I'm sure there are lots more!)
Two haunting songs that come to mind are... "The Bright Elusive Butterfly of Love" writ by Bob Lind and "Johnny Remember Me...." writ I think by Joe Meek Both from the 1960s .. Bob Lind's song is so different and unique... how did he come to write it ? I think he packed in pop...
What cover songs have you heard that you think are better than the original version, and which ones do you find an assault on the eardrums? Best for me has to be :- Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds Dear Prudence - Siouxsie and the Banshees UB40 - Red, Red, Wine Worst:- Rolf Harris -...

Does anyone else like watching old music videos (even if you dont like the song or group) just to see the UK they way you used to remember it ?? Ive added a few here to explain....things like seeing old newsagents or streets with tower blocks etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCKq9kjO_WU...
This just came to me the other day. The Housemartins! Doyouremember? Went straight online to watch it. Used to love this. (still do of course.) Proper pop music, not the plastic Americanised "R'n'B" that always litters the charts today. ;)

Mine was Shakin' Stevens....sigh! I used to get this comic called 'Princess'. It was out in '81 I think, it had a story in it based on Lady Diana (Rip). Think the first edition had a ring as a free gift....Anyway, there was a class poster of Shaky in it. He was wearing a pink blazer, he lovely in...
Back in about 1970, I owned some Rolf Harris EPs. I remember the tracks 'Jake the Peg', 'I've Lost My Mummy', and 'Sun Arise'. But there was another one. The first words were, "Altogether....altogether...." , and in the background there was the sound of glass bottles sloshing with water in time to...
We all have one (some of us even have several!), those records that we prey never tumble out of the rack when we have guests round! My shameful piece of vinyl is one I bought some years ago from a car boot. For those of a certain age the name "Animal Kwackers' will mean something! ...

When you was a child, did you ever completely sing the wrong lyrics to a song but they sounded just like it. (well to you anyway):o I used to love Frankie...Sister sledge and would sing away quite happily :D Only i used to sing: "Oh, how you brought me down - down down. hot dinner was all...
I absolutely LOVED this song, featuring guest vocals from the wonderful Paul Quinn, originally found on the "Rip It Up" album, which I used to own on vinyl. For some reason (probably cos the album as a whole wasn't up to OJ's usual excellent standards) that album is no longer available. I would...

The Great British Songbook of the 1980's. It's on Radio 2 at the moment until 5pm, but will still be available to listen to on the BBC iPlayer for the next week too. Presented by Nik Kershaw and Chris Tarrant. It's really enjoyable. They are playing some great music, bringing back lots of...
Anyone out there an idea of a female song which begins with words ''I don't know what's going on..'' in high voice and played lots at Latitude Festival last July. Many thanks and a Happy 2010!:confused:
Ive heard a version of silent night while shopping. But it was upbeat and not sad. I thought it was the voice of stevie wonder but an hour on the internet proves me wrong! Any ideas please. Its not the temptations, four tops, boys 2 men, bing crosby, enya, bros, osmonds, nat king cole,...
Watching a programme about freaky weather brought back a distant memory of a childhood school yard song about weathermen..... John Kettley is a weather man, a weather man, a weather man. John Kettley is a weather man and so is Michael Fish! I know I am a sad individual for remembering the...
