songs from your youth that make you tingle that you might not normally admit to (abba is allowed, in fact positively encourage)

[hatwoman]

I was in a cafe today and heard "one of us is crying....". What a fantastic song. I feel oddly compelled to go and buy an Abba record cd and jig around the sitting to it with dds.

Great album TooTicky!

Oh yes, I remember Suddenly
And I was a big Kylie and Jason fan.

Moondog, he tried to.
Does this constitute a repetitive traumatic childhood experience, do you think?

Don't Give Up On Us Baby by David Soul (of Starsky and Hutch fame .

And that Bee Gees song - How Deep is Your Love. I've loved it since around 1978 .

love bites by def leppard

father figure by george micheal

marys prayer by ((someone))

power of love by huey lewis and the news (got back to the future on right now)

How hilarious!
Definitely!

PsychoMum - Danny Wilson did Mary's prayer - classic!
Also, Aztec Camera - what was that song called?

My DDs have been sent the They Might Be Giants CD called "No" twice. They are very keen on it.

Mid to late 70s my dad did extensive building work on our house when he got in from work, and had local radio on. I think hearing that when I'd gone to bed has done something to my brain because it positively itches when I hear some songs from back then. Chicago, If You Leave Me Now is one of those. Not that I like it particularly, just makes my head go funny!

thankyou....danny wilson.....woohoo

oh, and yes, aztec camera....I love their songs too

oh, and 'push it' by salt n peppa

Does anyone else remember 'I'd Rather Jack' by a couple of one hit wonders called 'The Reynolds girls'?

Aztec Camera - 'Somewhere in my Heart'? (Pop triv geek)

That was it! I could only think of 'summer in the city'!

Love that song, Honor . Less said about 'I'd Rather Jack' the better though .

Very true...I'll walk away from it and not even mention that I still remember most of the words!

Daydream Believer by the Monkees used to make my heart thud with memories. First crush etc.
Now I can't get 'When your lawn is a farce, weeds a right pain in the grass' out of my head. Grr

OMG ,the reynolds girls!
"I'd rather jack, than Fleetwood Mac"???!
About the same time I had a pair of shoes with clocks on the front that I somehow persuaded my mum to order me from the back of Just 17...oh, the horror....

I had a trip down memory lane when Madonnas Borderline came on the radio today

'Bright eyes' from the film Watership Down - it was my first single as a child and it makes me well up...

Also - So long Marianne by Leonard Cohen (one of my Dads fav singers)

Avalon by Roxy Music

don't know why, but it does me in.

Not ashamed to admit it though

also agree with whoever said Zoom, slow dance classic!

mamabutters - you had those shoes? I am sooo . I was not allowed the shoes so I put grolsch bottle tops on mine and wore two watches a la Morten Harket!

I should poimt out i was absolutely nowhere near 17...Just 12 would have been more accurate....

what about 'johhny hates jazz'

was a line in it that me and my friends used to change to 'wet dreams, wet dreams'....

Hehehe, god I remember the grolsch bottles thing too! How did that start??

That's just reminded me....Debbie Gibson and 'Electric Youth'. Wow, loved it!

mamabutters, it was Bros!
