Great minds and all that graninthemist?

What about the Ying Tong Song?

An EP! A blast from the past Jalima ?

Does anyone have an old record of Blueberry Hill ( Fats Domino) I always used to put that on jukeboxes in coffee bars and pubs.

Lemongrove, we seem to share musical taste and utter daftness! "Blackbird" is one of my favourites, and I've been known to give a mean rendition of "Right Said Fred". Other songs I have loved and murdered include "Honeybun" from S. Pacific and "Copacabana", but I'm not fussy; I'll give anything a go.

It was her head Fennel, I think the song refers to Ann Boleyn.

I used to enjoy Tom Lehrer songs when I was a teenager.
Most normal teenagers used to like Cliff Richard but my friend and I used to sing Tom Lehrer songs, Stanley Holloway favourites and some Scottish music which I can't remember now (oh dear)

All sorts, I shall practice being stately. The galleon part is sorted.

Fennel, His.

ps not sure if it was his or her head.

Jalima I remember "With his head tucked underneath his arm"
My Mum's Dad used to sing it. And also the Lion and Albert ( but that's not a song.)

Think I will have hum along have a terrible singing voice.

Oopsadaisy12 I'm up for singing and dancing stately as two galleons if you are :-)

vampirequeen I now have an ear worm lol. It's usually my friend Shirley who sings that when we are on a road trip and I'm stuck with it for days. But thanks for making me smile :-)

Have a good evening folks

Ouch, banged my head, but I found it.

Has anyone got an old-fashioned record player?

banged my head
that reminded me of the Stanley Holloway song:
'With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walked the Bloody Tower'

lemongrove I will have a look in the understairs cupboard to find my EP of Mario Lanza singing Drink, Drink etc.

vampirequeen

or

Always look on the bright side of life

Love to join in but ...
when I do have occasion to burst into song, DH often remarks
'can you sing over the hill and far away?'
the farther away the better!

What about ...

I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
get on your nerves, get on your nerves.
I know a song that'll get on your nerves
and this is how it goes
(repeat ad nauseum)

Or just the Mario Lanza song ‘Drink, drink, let the toast start’????

How about "Drink to me only" that might be an appropriate one. You play and I'll join in anytime.

Gosh Gaggi, that brought back some memories, our local Methodist ministers used to set up at the bottom of our road. They called it Sunshine Corner and I used to trot along, this is one of the songs we sang, I was about 4 or possibly 5. I don't think I've heard it since.

Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world of darkness,
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.

You brought back memories of Sunday School, Jane10, though some of the words of this, I now realise, are a bit grim for tinies. The next verse talks of 'sin and want and sorrow.'

We could do stately as two galleons, can we dance as well then?

This all sounds like enormous fun!

DD2 normally tells me not to sing (for good reason lol) but she says I make it through "Stately as a Galleon" as per Joyce Grenfell so I'd give it a go :-) I'm brave enough you you ladies are :-)

I know masses of music hall songs, and they act as excellent lullabies - I serenade the DGC with a quick burst of 'Burlington Berty', 'Daisy Daisy' or their favourite 'Don't Jump off the Roof Dad' - and off they go to sleep (and yes, my whole family tells me that it's to escape...!)

Oh I was in a choir when I was 16! Alto, so usually somewhere at the back..... I also play the recorder!
Just saying.
