Share an obscure song you love

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Bring your favourite flops/shoulda been hits to a new audience The only rule is, they cannot have made the UK Top 40.

My first choice - Humpe and Humpe, ‘Careless Love’. The duo changed their name to Swimming With Sharks (the name of their album) in the UK, for fairly obvious reasons

@Livpool

Clutch - Shea Segar

This is a brilliant song, thank you for reminding me!

I proper love this, and am amazed to see it only got to number 61

Younger Younger 28s - We’re Going Out

Also this

Dandelions in bullet holes by Sarah Harmer

• Debonair by the Afghan Whigs, Reminds me of secondary school.
• Make you happy by Josh Pyke, Reminds me of when I lived in Oz.

Les Negresses Vertes, Voila l'Ete

I could listen to that every day for the rest of my life.

Tierra Whack - Stand Up.
It's fairly new but I don't think it will chart over here.

@AllYouCanEatBrestaurant

Start Wearing Purple by Gogol Bordello

I was going to suggest this too! Every now and again I break into singing it and people just look at me strangely

The night visiting song, last performance of the great Luke Kelly of The Dubliners so beautifully sung and poignant.

@LefttoherownDevizes

Hammond Song by The Roches. My desert island song

Also Calling You from the Baghdad Cafe soundtrack

Temple head by Transglobal Underground (from Whirl-y-gig before Hoxton was trendy)

I was going to say Hammond Song too. Looooooove those harmonies.

Deny U or Guy.EXE by Superfruit

Dreadzone Little Britain.

Everything But The Girl - each and every one

@Chishnfips

Dreadzone Little Britain.

Tune

Diamond Lights by Glen Hoddle and another chap

Kiss the Rain is a most excellent song

Home and Dry by Pet Shop Boys

Children by Miles (it's instrumental, charted in 1996 and reminds me of driving to college)

Idle Hands by The Gutter Twins

and it's not really obscure as such but a gorgeous song that I don't think is as well known as it should be is Darling Be Home Soon by The Lovin' Spoonful

This is going to give away my age so, so much! (And even then I'm a bit young for it....)
Jan and Dean 'Surf City'. They were always considered the poor relations of The Beach Boys, but this track is epic!

@ByTheNine

I Alone by Live. Great 90s grunge song that I had on a mixtape by a boyfriend

Ooh, excellent choice! I had this on a compilation called Rocks Off and I loved it 😍

Cyanide Smile by Violet Ultra
Crawl Down by Cyclefly
Man in a Box by V2.

And this, by Lenou (Nana Mouskouri's daughter) 'My Songbird'.
It touches my soul every time I listen to it (it's really beautiful):

By the way @Classica, nice call!
