Tell me about the tracks that have really stood the test of time. The 3 minute wonders that always get you kit of your seat or you love to sing along to. Inspire my playlist!

Some of mine:

Nothing like this- Omar
The smooth, gorgeous voice, the catchy percussion, such a perfect and sexy song.

Love shack- B52’s
This has always got me moving without fail.

Jessie J - Money
So catchy, so warm, so great to sing along to!

Was this inspired by the McAlmont and Butler thread? I’m voting “Yes”, by them.

@BikeRunSki I’d been thinking this would be an interesting thread for a few days and then saw the Mcalmont when I couldn’t sleep and it reminded me to post it!

@PermanentTemporary

Your 'intro only' reminded me how much I love:

You are my world - The communards

I don't feel like dancing - Scissor Sisters

Both intro only - the actual songs do nothing for me but the intros are fab Grin

PermanentTemporary · 14/08/2021 09:48

Grin @spongedod I have an 'intro only' playing but I'm not techy enough to edit them down so its a bit pointless!
