What is the song that makes you think of your younger days?. It may be a Love Song if you fell in love or a Happy song. The song that reminds you of your first dance or disco you went too?.
One that springs to mind with me is The Bee Gees, How Deep is your Love. I danced my first ever slow dance with a lovely lad i knew at school. If he knew this he would probably be surprised how it has stuck in my mind!!!. How Romantic awwwww.

"Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies; reminds me of my first love. Happy days, LOL
Also love "Dancing Queen" by Abba.
Love Seventies music

I don't have one particular SONG but one particular GROUP - I was then, and still am now, the biggest SHOWADDYWADDY fan. Any song of theirs reminds me of my youth as I used to go to see them every year at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. The Leicester concert was always their last before Christmas as they are a Leicester band. Without sounding too morbid I have even made a list of wishes for my funeral - which will include songs of Showaddywaddy.

The song that means the most to me was the one that was very popular (probably No. 1 that week) was Hey Jude. We were on honeymoon 45 years ago this week.
I feel embarrassed to say, whenever I heard Nights in white satin, I didn't understand what it meant and in my minds eye I saw knights on horseback riding along with white satin streamers attached to their helmets and horses . Well, I can't help it, I was an innocent.

Know what you mean, CG! Knights wearing white satin cloaks over their armour. Never did find out what it was supposd to be about. Decided the band must've been stoned!
Songs that bring back memories include Tallahassee Lassie by Freddie Cannon, Sealed with a Kiss by Brian Hyland, and Elvis' Return to Sender and His Latest Flame. The memories are of sitting in my friend Carol's bedroom trying on Miner's lipsticks - bright pink!

Sunday Morning Coming Down by JohnnyCash/Kris Kristopherson, summed it up really!

The song that I had the greatest fun with was Diana Ross Chain Reaction, my friend and I used to go mad when it came on in the disco and got up and danced we had all the moves. those were the days.
I have left instructions on two tunes I would like at my funeral, the Crying Game by Boy George and Fields of Gold by Sting. Beautiful and haunting, like me. ha ha.

Was really my dad picked my song !
I left school at 15 and went into the Merchant Navy then when I came out 12 years later could not settle into a job that kept me indoors in one place so became a driver and delivered new cars all over the UK, now tramp around Scotland every day making deliveries.
The song my dad said should be mine was "Wandrin' Star" by Lee Marvin.

The song I have picked out for my funeral is 'I'm on Fire' by Bruce Springsteen - you guessed it - cremation.

I remember Elton John, playing on a cassette (showing my age) in the
coach when we went to the Lake District on a field trip, I was in what is
now called year 10, same age as my son is now. It was "Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road" and I have it on CD, can't play it without thinking of that trip.
Little did I know back then that I would one day be driving a coach to
the Lake District, amongst other places, with Elton John on the CD!
A few years ago when I was driving one of the rail replacement coaches,
I had Elton John playing and on came the song "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore"
which some of the passengers thought appropriate for the monent!
We also loved Abba and loads of their songs take me back to the '70's.
Another song, well more a piece of music, is Mike Oldfield's "Mont St. Michael"
which I had playing when I was driving a coach alongside Loch Ness a few
years ago. The music, and the location just went together and sometimes I
play it to re-live that drive!

I don't remember ever having a dancing song, though we must have as
we went to the school discos. My husband was my first and only boyfriend
and I think it's more likely he'll be jet-propelled to the moon in his underpants
than dance!

FISHPIEFACE Im trying to imagine what that would look like ha ha ha ha, will you be sending him up????. LOL

I have a lot of memorable songs which remind me of "certain" milestones and this is one:-

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
