A Gransnet Jukebox

lemon, call yourself a friend??!!!!

I'm taking that awful song with me so it'll never be heard again. I can't stay in a room if it's played and now you've put the song in my head

Time for a sit down next to the GN jukebox with a
Hmmm, what to choose?

Thinking of a certain friend who will have this song played at her funeral ( not that she’s dead as yet )?
White Christmas by Bing Crosby ( no need to thank me nanasam) ?

Remembering teenagers at home and music wafting down the stairs:-

Wake me up before you Go-go
Last Christmas
(Wham)

Eternal Flame
Manic Monday
(The Bangles)

Something by REM?
Times Like These - Foofighters

Stars - Simply Red
If You Don't Know Me by Now - ditto

Those were the days Mary Hopkin
Eleanor
Elaine
Let's spend the night together by stones
Paradise by dashboard light meatloaf
All Queen songs
Penny Arcade

The jukebox has some smoke spiralling from out the back, it hasn’t been used as much for years!?
Fortunately a GNHQ engineer is on hand for repairs.

I’ve just put three records on:
Hey Jude
Nights In White Satin
Ernie ( Benny Hill)
An eclectic mix I think you’ll agree.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Annie's Song
Take me Home Country Roads

The late, lamented John Denver

Let's Get it On by Marvin Gaye. Love that song and anything else by him.

Yes kitty. Happy memories indeed. A romantic interlude from my past.

How about a bit of Christopher Walken dancing.

That was to MeeylStreep

I'm sure no-one else wants to listen to songs from the 1930s and 40s, Al Martino, Perry Como etc.

Just remembered In Your Easter Bonnet (another earworm from my childhood)

My Mum had a lovely voice which I didn't inherit, she sang all the time.
I can remember the words of lots of these!

Little Grey Home in the West
Almost like Being in Love
You'll Never Know
Magic Moments
If I Loved You
Make Believe

Perhaps not jukebox material but happy memories.

ixion

The House of the Rising Sun.

I would choose this too. When we first met I told my DH I liked the record by The Animals and after a couple of dates he bought it for me, 57 years later he is still as thoughtful.

Calistemon
So did mine. It was always played at their party’s together with her other favourite, Al Martino.
My OH is always amazed that I know all the words to these songs, that’s because it was my job at their party’s to load the record player and keep it wound up.

My Mum loved that, MerylStreep
My sister-in-law loved Frankie Vaughan - Green Door

If we're going back to the 50's it has to be Rock Around the Clock - Bill Hailey and the Comets
Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Why must I be a Teenager in Love - Marty Wilde

1976 - Don't Go Breaking my Heart - Elton John and Kiki Dee

If you want to dance its got to be Young at Heart by the Bluebells ,or for a smoochie dance Last Request by Paolo Nutini

Can't Help Myself - Four Tops
Darling Be Home Soon - Lovin Spoonful
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
God Only Knows - Beach Boys

Lemongrove
If we’re going back to the 50s it’s got to be Billy Eckstine singing No one but you.

Tambourine!

Followed by Summer In The City ( who sang that?)
Lovin' Spoonful

A reminder of a summer filled with cricket matches - Hey, Mr Tambiurine Man

And, of course, Do Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann

The Time of My Life so we can all dance beautifully.

Just so many to consider.

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer, by Stevie Wonder
Stoney End by Barbra Streisand
