I was hesitating between the Belgian National hymn and Mozart 9th symphony… :raspberry:
Mmm, better take an alternative direction inline with my youth …
God s(h)ave the Queen, Sex Pistols, euh, or would I choose London Calling, , The Clash
I was once at a graduation party for medical students. Drinks were for free :bravo:
First the music sounded horrible, but after 6 beers the Punk band playing old Rex Gildo songs was great!
IT MUST BE HIM
Vikki Carr
I tell myself what’s done is done
I tell myself don’t be a fool
Play the field have a lot of fun
It’s easy when you play it cool
I tell myself don’t be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away
That’s when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him or I shall die
Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it’s not him
And then I die
That’s when I die
After a while, I’m myself again
I take the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
You’ll never hurt me anymore
I’m not a puppet on a string
I’ll find somebody else someday
That’s when the phone rings, and once again
I start to pray
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him , it must be him
or I shall die, Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it’s not him
And then I die
That’s when I die
I love Lightning Crashes - by Live.
“Slipping Through my Fingers” by ABBA
“Jessie” by Joshua Kadison
“Walking in Memphis” by Marc Cohn
Pretty much anything off Warren Zevon’s “Life’ll Kill Ya” album, notably “Fistful of Rain”, “I Was in the House When the House Burned Down”, and “Back in the High Life Again”.
[quote=“Warren Zevon”]You can dream the American Dream
But you sleep with the lights on
And wake up with a scream
You can hope against hope
That nothing will change
Grab a hold of that fistful of rain.[/quote]
Anything by KISS pre: 1982!
Or any Oscar peterson or Bill evans around the time of cool
Or anything from 5 by MONK by 5

i’ve got a top few (in no particular order)
Squeeze Box by The Who
Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer by Morphine
Rockville by REM
Leavin Trunk by The Black Keys
“Atmosphere” by Joy Division, number 1 always

)
Billie Holliday - Strange Fruit

Echoes by Pink Floyd is kinda cool
We love you Tipper Gore by Furnaceface
The Effervesing Elephant by Syd Barrett
At the heart of it all By Coil
Really, it is not Rex Gildo for me, but rather…
or “Man with a horn” from her-Anita O’Day (I know how that sounds),
Or Sinatra with “Agua de Beber” or Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess (Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, sigh)
BobSentimentalJourney
Wow, I haven’t listened to Coil in a while. Great stuff.
HG, I like “Love will tear us apart” too, but find myself listening to “Atmosphere” more often. I guess they played “Love…” too often in the goffie pubs. I just recently finished the book that Curtis’ widow wrote about him. Makes him sound like a complete, insecure dick. I’m very sorry I read it. I’d rather not know.
Everybody have fun tonight everybody wang chung tonight
Two navels:

No! I won’t read it, I won’t. Whenever I re-hear that song I’m always left wondering what sort of twenty something year old could write it. Troubled did come to mind.
HG
I think he was only 24 when he died. And in that short life he had gotten married, had a child, started a really cool band and written some amazing songs.
Sometimes I think that if we could all die at 30 instead of a possible 90 we would experience much more in life. Who would want to live safely all the time, resist the urge to tell that girl in Starbucks that you’re in lust with her, or wait until you’re older to write that novel if you new you only had a few years?
Love will tear us apart.
Yep.
Favourite song? About a thousand, probably. But I’ll always have a soft spot for “Another Planet” by The Only Ones. Or maybe “Starin’ at the Rude Boys” by the Ruts. Or … or … or … I’m not even going there.
[quote] It’s a very small world in the middle of a crowd
the room gets dark when the music gets loud
treble cuts thru’ when the rythmn takes the bite
but there’s no room to move 'cause the floor is packed tight
A voice shouts loud
‘we’ll never surrender’
A voice in the crowd
‘Never surrender’
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda:
‘Never surrender, we’ll never surrender’
The skins in the corner are staring at the bar
the rude boys are dancing to some heavy heavy ska
it’s getting so hot people are dripping with sweat
the punks in the corner are speeding like a jet
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys…
A bunch of peers march in on the DM’s
with some standing there saluting the air
they wanna be pirates but the sea is not calm
tattooed crossbows on their arm
A voice shouts loud
‘we’ll never surrender’
A voice in the crowd
‘Never surrender’
Another hand fly fly propaganda,
propaganda, propaganda
The lights come alive in a blinding flash
dance floor clears as the mutants clash
everyone leaves when the heavy’s arrive
someone hits the floor, someone takes a dive
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys…
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys…

Story of my misspent youth right there. As is this one:
[quote]I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don’t care about it
I can face your threats
Stand up tall and scream and shout about it
I think I’m on another world with you
I’m on another planet with you
You always get under my skin
I don’t find it irritating
You always play to win
I don’t need rehabilitating
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travels in my blood
And there ain’t nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
Oh God we won’t live without it
Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, forever holding you down
Another planet[/quote]
Great, great songs. I guess you had to be there. 
It’s strange how songs that I used to love during the 70s and 80s, I can’t stand now. Anything by Boston and most of Billy Joel or Elton John.
For the last few months, I’ve had Tembea by Sadao Watanabe going through my brain. It’s jazz.
