Meatloaf songs are good....bat out of hell is a classic album.

Kenny Rogers

I can't believe I'm admitting to this one, even on mumsnet .

It just reminds me of being young and being really silly with my mum. We used to dance round the kitchen and sing it.

stressheaderic · 30/05/2010 22:19

Oh I love Kenny Rogers too, used to be on on tape in my mum's car when we were young.
"Ruuuuby, don't take your love to town..."

Is there a song from the 80s called Africa? I love that. Somethink like "I felt the rain, down in Aaaaafrica....."?? Am I making this up?

Also love "Don't know much, but I know I love you....." Linda Ronstadt and ????

HerBeatitude · 30/05/2010 22:59

Take That - Pay-shunsssssss...

Loathe the sentiment, makes me angry every time as I sing along...

seeker · 30/05/2010 23:00
