That Gloria

[Sarahh2014]

By Laura Branigan is a very underrated song?
It's not even my era I was two but I've had it in my head for day! Just hunted it down on YouTube 😁

for days not day

Well I was going to agree with you but now I have it going round in my head so YABU.

Oh bugger, that is going to be my earworm for the weekend.

Think it was originally released by Van Morrison, but I like both versions (and am prepared to be corrected).

Self Control for me is one of my fav songs, she is a genius! Love her!

It always reminds me of Flashdance. Unless I'm mistaken it's in that film when one of the characters is iceskating. I like that song but haven't heard it in years

I don't know anything else by her but that's a v good song

The Van Morrison one was a completely different song

Ooh, yes. Teenage memories for me, and agree with pp that Self Control is even better.

So they're aren't two versions? X

The original and best. But often covered at festivals

Nah prefer the 80s one

Self Control for me is one of my fav songs

Same here. She died too young, very sadly.

Yup, that's Van front right in the Them pic. You can always tell by his happy demeanour 😊

I thought this was going to be a disapproving thread about 'That Gloria at no.27, men coming and going at all hours' or something.

I agree though that it's a belter of a tune. Jarvis Cocker and Pulp thought so too. So much so they ripped it off

The Van song is also great. Less cheesy obv.

CandyYumYum which song ripped it off?

I love Gloria may have imaginary performance of me knocking out the park

Disco 2000, Sarah.

YANBU - fabulous song

Love this song.
It's on my 'Going Out Out' playlist when I'm getting ready.
Turn it up loud,sing down your hairbrush song.

CandyYumYum do u reckon? I can't see the similarity

Well I'm sure Jarvis has said their song was 'inspired' by it.

Have you watched White Gold op?

goforkyourself yes!! It was the first time i heard it on there. I love that programme they've commissioned another series 😁
