How about a bit of Christopher Walken dancing.

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

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

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

The late, lamented John Denver

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.

Dancing Queen
Bad Moon Rising
Mr Tambourine Man

then relax a bit with

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Sorry, I'm sitting in the corner with Alexa ?

I'm not usually a fan of country music, but this is a good one.

Those were the days Mary Hopkin

Elaine
Let's spend the night together by stones
Paradise by dashboard light meatloaf
All Queen songs

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

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) ?

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

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

I love songs from the 30’ & 40’s Calistemon

Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Fats Domino etc .

I am a girl from the 60’s having been in the Small Faces fan club. Also I cannot listen to Waterloo sunset by the Kinks without wanting to cry. My first boyfriend bought me that record, we split up and he married someone else. He was lovely but we were both too young.

Ah, memories! Songs and pieces of music are so evocative of a certain time and place aren’t they?

My next record is Stranger On The Shore by Acker Bilk, I used to have his autograph ( do people still have autograph books?)
A lovely and rather melancholy piece.It’s given me the idea of buying a cd of his music now.

Young Girl by Union Gap. I was a young girl then......sigh

AGAA4

You are very brave posting ‘Young Girl’ as it is not considered at all PC nowadays.

I’m with you though, great song, not perceived at all sleazy back in the late 60’s when it was a hit.

I loved the song and didn't think of it in the way it seems to be perceived now.

I was brought up on them, Anniebach!
And the rather daft songs like You're a Pink Toothbrush by Max Bygraves
Nellie the Elephant by Mandy Miller
Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour by Lonnie Donegan

Then along came Bill Hailey, Elvis Presley

Calistemon what about Johnnie Ray ?

Anything by Rod Stewart Oh and T Rex ,not forgetting ELO, Meatloaf.

Forever Autumn - Justin Hayward
Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes
And absolutely anything by Smokie and Bryan Adams (not together of course!!)

Anniebach

Calistemon what about Johnnie Ray ?

My cousin's then a girlfriend (now wife of 50+ years) loved Johnnie Ray!
I didn't (I was very young)

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling followed by Unchained Melody, then Anyone Who Has A Heart.....a melancholy few records to listen to as I sip a large sherry.
