The whole soundtrack of War of the Worlds.

Jeff Wayne's version EV? I have this one - must dig it out.
Richard Burton's voice was perfection personified.

I love The War Of The Worlds, got the CD in the car,
Especially Forever Autumn.?

Am just in nostalgic mood now though for a certain time in the 50’s so am putting on Blueberry Hill (Fats Domino.)

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:38:22

Closely followed by Great Balls Of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:41:48

Then a dip into the 60’s for the Kinks ....Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon,
Followed by Summer In The City ( who sang that?) which really reminds me of Summer in a certain city.

BridgetPark Sat 11-Dec-21 20:56:11

Just so many to consider.
Starman by David Bowie, played at my DB funeral last month
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer, by Stevie Wonder
Stoney End by Barbra Streisand
When I'm gone from Pitch Perfect
Any Motown from my young teens, early seventies, wonderful music time

Calistemon Sat 11-Dec-21 22:10:53

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

Calistemon Sat 11-Dec-21 22:15:15

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

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

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

Can't Help Myself - Four Tops
Darling Be Home Soon - Lovin Spoonful

paddyann54 Sat 11-Dec-21 22:43:13

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

Calistemon Sat 11-Dec-21 22:49:02

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

Why must I be a Teenager in Love - Marty Wilde

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

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.

Jane43 Sat 11-Dec-21 23:08:15

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 Sat 11-Dec-21 23:13:17

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.

Calistemon Sat 11-Dec-21 23:16:49

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)
