Imagine that we have a new sparkly GN jukebox......free of charge, what records to choose and why? Do you just love a certain old record or does it bring back lovely memories?tchsmile

Were they good?
I love 'all right now'.

Christmas themed, it would be Fairy Tale of New York by the Pogues and the late, great Kirsty McColl. Non-Christmas themed, it would be Don’t Leave Me This Way by The Communards.

Baybeh! My heart is full of love and it's all for you!

Talking about love, how about 'I feel love's by Donna Summer.

You should be dancing - The Bee Gees.

I must be older than some posters. My pick;
My Girl by Otis Redding
Let it Be Me, the Every Brothers
Bridge Over troubled water, Simon and Garfunkel.
But to get the party started it has to be
Rave On by Buddy Holly

Ooh MissAdventure, I didn’t know you cared! It’s a song guaranteed to make me dance like a total eejit! ?

Not even my era, but the jukebox hit that takes me straight back to 16 (what was I even doing in the pub?) is
Get Ready - The Temptations. Was there ever a better pure pop lyric than
‘So, fiddley-dee, fiddley-dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.’?

Oh yes, grumppa. Tous Les Garçons et Les Filles reminds me of being ‘cool at school’ - or so we liked to think.

Staying in a slow dance mood. Neil Diamond’s Hello Again is soooo sexy.
