Well, I've got to say Chocolate Girl by Deacon Blue really Smile

Also love anything by Spandau, but will also throw into the ring Wet Wet Wet and Angel Eyes and a bit of Scritti Politti - Oh Patti.....

windysocks · 12/05/2019 22:32

Don't call me baby - Voice of the beehive

Crazyladee · 12/05/2019 22:34

Oh I love Chocolate Girl too!

And.. Hot dog.. Jumping frog.. Alberqueque.

Each and every one of these songs leads me straight back to specific times in my life and tells a story. Mainly last year of secondary school.. Under 18s discos and certain boyfriends.

Such happy memories. Sigh.

UB40fan · 12/05/2019 23:09

Practically anything from the 80’s! Film or song. I often wish that I could go back in time and live in the 80’s!!!!

Lacazettes · 12/05/2019 23:10

I love loads of 80s stuff but my favourite is probably I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston. It just makes me want to dance and sing into a hairbrush.
