songs you haven't heard in ages

Re: songs you haven't heard in ages

I've recently rediscovered 'Crazy' by Icehouse from the late '80s. Brilliant. It was another of those songs I bang on about earlier in this thread which had a lot of FM radio airplay at the time, but never made it too high up the charts.

Every now & again I hear odd songs from my chart taping days in 1987. One recently was Really Didn't Mean It by Luthor Vandross.

I was also surprised to hear Queen's Spread Your Wings a couple of weeks ago this was only a minor hit for them.

Now here is a song I have not heard in decades.... Sung by the Goodies in the 1970s
"Father Christmas Do not not touch me".....
Twas brilliant in its day the women loved to sing along to it.
Another by the Goodies round about the same time was "The Funky Gibbon"

What a great thread!! I can not believe how I missed this before! Yeah I have too many to think of that I don't hear for ages! I love it when like EastEnders add 80s song's for Heather and Shirley - that's just pure brilliance i think. A few song's i've heard on my Travels recently are, T'pau - China In Your Hands, Belinda Carlisle - Heavon Is a Place On Earth, an Elton John one (i've forgot which).

All these classic 80s and early 90s ones take some way to be beaten, the only possible good cover being better than the orginal being Eternal Flame by Attomic Kitten in 2000/2001 I think

The atomic kitten version of 'Eternal Flame' is terrible!! The Bangles version is much better.

Any one remember, In a Broken Dream by Python Lee Jackson (Rod Stewart)

Re: songs you haven't heard in ages

I often recall songs I haven't heard for ages, and have the real need to listen to them again, so I find myself digging out CDs I have somewhere which I know feature the song in question. Sometimes, I don't have the song and have to buy it so I've got it. Recently, this has happened with 'Tell Me When' by The Human League, and 'The Motive (Living Without You)' by Then Jerico.

Tainted Love by Ultravox and (I think) Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys on EastEnders!! I so love some of those "New Romantic" song's, they just make me so happy (often). Eg like Everybody Wants To Rule The World when it was played on Only Fools and Horses';, Jolly Boys Outing Episiode. The "New Romantic" era was so great for the "new styles" of song's I think, and i'll always like it but all the time (listening) to it i'd get a tad bored I think.

Darren like the songs you mention too. Holding Out For A Hero I remember they used it for an advert for mens aftershave? Also liked George Michael - Father Figure and loads of other songs that I can think of at the top of my head.

This is indeed a beautiful song. Loved the film too. Here is another song/video I have not seen for years (once you get past the advert - another pet hate of mine!)
