Songs that take you back to your yoof!

[IntelligentInputDarling]

Just heard Climie Fisher's 'Love Changes Everything'...
and I'm 15 again! 😄

Caravan of Love by the Housemartins ❤️ Sing our own Song by UB40, Never Too Much by Luther Vandross, Back to Life by Soul to Soul!

The vibrations cause you're mine
Susan Barret..What's it gonna be
Martha and the vandellas..one way out.
My first Northern soul niter 44years ago.
It was an assault on the senses the atmosphere,the dancing,the records,the powder.

At risk of showing my age , Donna Summer , I feel love, Boney M , Ma Baker,
Andrew Gold , Never let her slip away all instantly transport back to specific times as a youngster

Also showing my age Mississippi by Pussycat, Dancing Queen and If you Leave Me Now by Chicago

Silly Games by Janet Kay. It was the first single I ever bought and it always takes me right back.

Sex Machine by James Brown, 70s disco nights with my three oldest friends, I realise now just how much fun we had and how good the music was at that time.

Happy days 😀

Fergus sings the blues, I’m 16 again.

Kirsty McColl - New England and Kayleigh by Marillion

I'm back in the Furzedown Halls of residence 😊

Party Fears Two by The Associates

I was 16yo when this came out .
Fast forward many years , I was in a laundrette at a Haven Caravan Park , my DParents had taken DS and DD out and this came on the radio . I went from 40 to 16 in a heartbeat .

I've not heard the original but Divine Comedy do a good version of this

I'm mostly listening to what I listened to as a teenager - Belle and Sebastian, Shed Seven, etc

Techno Techno Techno

I was in the hairdressers last week and Out of Touch by Hall & Oates came on and I still knew every word.

Voodoo Ray by A Guy Called Gerald takes me back to sweaty Thursday nights at the Hacienda every time.

Alanis Morissete. Ironic

@Walkingnice Same as me! I’m off to see them in a couple of weeks ☺️

Ohhh No No No
I managed a couple of minutes of the Divine Comedy cover
Listen to the original.
Billy MacKenzie has such good vocal range ( tragically died by his own hand . )

The Divine Comedy is frankly "poundshop" in comparison. Give your ears a treat and watch The Associates

An awful lot of ABBA. I distressed dd by singing all the songs in Movie 1 and Movie 2.

All INXS.

Sawdoctors - I Useta Love Her. Almost anything from If This is Rock And Roll, I Want My Old Job Back.

Depends on how you define yoof, but if I go back to when I was 15/16 there was some awful dross - the charts were full of Donny Osmond, the Bay City Rollers, David Cassidy, Gary Glitter...
Nah, not for me, I was far too sophisticated, wasn't I? 😬 I liked Bowie, Roxy Music, 10cc, Wings, Alice Cooper - mainly, in retrospect, to be "different" and earn a few pathetic shreds of street cred at my God-awful school. Anyway, the songs which really take me back are -

"Seven Seas of Rhye" by Queen
"This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both of Us" - Sparks
"The Man Who Sold the World" - Lulu's version

And probably my favourite Bowie record of all time, unjustly overlooked -

"Drive-In Saturday"

Going to give these a listen 🎶

Omg - the 80s
The First Picture Of You...
Buying my first pair of trainers with the love of my life ❤️

Also, Madonna - Holiday
We all went out in Duster coats for my cousin's hen do
God only knows what we looked like x

I Eat Cannibals - Toto Coelo.

Push it. Salt n pepa

Scritti politti the word girl and oh Patti.

Ballroom Blitz by Sweet

Are you ready, Steve? (Uh-huh)
Andy? (Yeah)
Mick? (Okay)
Alright, fellas, well, let's go..........

Marvin gaye sexual healing. I didn’t really understand it properly at 14 but that voice. Smooth as silk.
