Jabba 18389 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 So please ignore the poetic title to this thread. I grabbed it from someone else cuz I thought it was so absolutely true. I can't walk down the street without a theme song - be it Mission Impossible or Pink Panther...I always got a song in my brain. I'm interested to know what is your absolute most favourite song in the world. I was raised in the 60s, so of course, the Beatles/Stones/Who and every other frigging British Invasion group are up there for me. There are absolutely great Canadian voices out there - KD Lang, etc.... What is the song you will sing to the end of your days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Great thread!!!! I have a few that always grab my attention whenever they come on the radio.... and I will never change stations when any of these come on.... Can't Buy Me Love/I Wanna Hold your Hand - the Beatles... I think of all the Beatles songs,these have shown their vocal abilities and harmony skills... classics. What the World Needs Now - Jackie DeShannon... I don't know why, this is just one of those songs that hits me. I met Burt Bacharach about 15 years ago and told him about it, he was really appreciative of the support. Meglio Stasera - Fran Jeffries... this one is obscure, but it's one of those songs that embodies the sound of 1960's lounge music. Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer - Nat "King" Cole ... another one of those songs that floods back childhood memories. Wheel in the Sky/Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' - Journey... ahh misspent youth. This was the music of summer and my last teen years.... Kiss on my List - Hall & Oates ... the summer of my millionaire girlfriend (okay it wasn't hers, it was her dad's millions).... she was without a doubt the absolute BEST kisser of any girl I ever dated. Boogie Wonderland - Earth, Wind & Fire ... try to stand still when this song comes on... Dreamer - Supertramp ... a high school song that just hits home. Evil Woman - ELO ... okay, it reminds me of the ex wife.... Tempted (by the fruit of another) - Squeeze... one of those songs that helped me move on when times were bad. Misunderstanding - Genesis .... another song about love lost.... I should stop now... but there are more.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy kenny 50799 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Wow so much great music to choose from, below are just a few songs that certainly strike a chord, they bring me back to a moment in my past, a special memory, a sad memory, a happy moment each are poignant in their own way.... Whiter shade of pale-Procol Harum Rush-Subdivisions Pink Floyd-Learning to fly Pink Floyd- Comfortably numb The air that I breath- The Hollies The Theme from Hawaii 50 and of course Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) a few more... Love will tear us apart - Joy Division... if you ever wanted to know where and when "new wave" began... it was in Manchester and it started with this song.... fantastic! ABC - The Jackson 5. Weird huh??? Not really... I wasn't a huge fan until I saw it in Clerks II a few years back... and now I have a true appreciation for the song. Birds Fly (whisper to a scream)... Icicle works. One of the quintessential songs of the 80's.... a must listen. Aa Tayar Hoja - Sunidhi Chauhan. A Bollywood tune, with a great beat and a fantastic video... in fact, this video from the movie piqued my interest in Indian girls... yummy!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBwSD6sADIQ Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen. Nuff said. Kiss - Tom Jones. Prince's song done by a man. Edited July 15, 2010 by Old Dog added link for the bollywood song... enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jabba 18389 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Ahhh, ok - I'll try and narrow it down to one. I was going to try and say I Get a Kick out of You and mention Stairway to Heaven...but I thought - nawww, Don't be Cruel. So I leaned back in my easychair and kicked off my Blue Suede Shoes so I could set a spell and think about my Man From Uncle, my uncle - A Man Named Jed. It's a funny story, he could barely keep his family fed, and then one day while shooting at some food; up from the ground came a bubbling crude. Oil that is...Texas Tea. Speaking about tea, I was thinking about my trip to Liverpool and my trip using a Ferry cross the Mersey. I met a crazy chick who almost fell overboard. I saved her at the last minute and the only thing she said was: You Really Got Me. She wrote me a very nice thank you note that started with: To Sir With Love". Ahhh, A Day in the Life of a traveller, but I didn't let it get me down, It's Getting Better, I thought. So, my most absolute favourite song in the world?....drum role please.... I'm Fixing a Hole....bloody &*$%ing chipmunks chewed through my garage door weather strip again grrrrr!!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
