Music Meme Day 4

Day 01- A song that makes me happy ... Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners
Day 02- A song that helps you clear your head ... In My Room by The Beach Boys
Day 03- A song that makes you laugh ... Right Said Fred by Bernard Cribbins

Day 04- A song that reminds you of something

When we were kids (well, untill we were all teens) we used to visit my Mum's parents in Northamptonshire regularily. It was about 3 hours each way ... and we had 3 rules:-

• We would change seats so each of the 3 of us would have the central seat - at Puckeridge and The Caxton Gibbit!
• We would play the Pub Sign game - you know, counting the legs in the pictures + the names.
• We would sing ... and it was 2 songs that we sang over and over again ...

"Goodbye Dolly Gray" - a Boer War song
"Two Little Boys" - a hit when we were kids sung by Rolf Harris. Whenever I hear that song, I am a kid travelling to the village of Stanwick!

My James song that reminds me of something is "Looking at You"
I heard James sing this when I was at Union Chapel the second time - I had just walked up to the front to take some photos, and as he always does, he looked directly at me ... needless to say the photos didn't come out, I was shaking too much!

I'd never heard that before - you didn't tell me it would make me cry!
:-) (Ok, get teary-eyed - I wasn't actually crying - which is good, since I'm on my break at my desk at work.)

Sorry - sends tissues.

It ends up getting "bad press" as it's sung by Rolf Harris - but it is a lovely song ... and having 2 brothers it fit in our family!

Funnily enough, I was just talking to someone about this song the other day! How odd! :D Missed the Right Said Fred one too! Didn't realise who that was by.

"Great minds think alike"

This meme is certainly making me dig out some old songs.

I haven't heard that in YEARS! Funny though how the words came back as I listened.

Lovely and the video is excellent too.

*hugs*

It is fun re-listening to some of these old songs again, isn't it?

One of the few songs I know all the words to!! *sings along*

Your 'funny' song choice the other day was also one I considered, I love Right Said Fred and also Hole in the Ground. Oh the days of Ed Stewpot Stewart and Junior Choice.

It was one of those songs that seemed to be on all the time - well, that's my excuse.

Yes Stewpot & Junior Choice - great memories.
