Top Twenty Singalong Songs

[lankeela]

Talking of Demis Roussos made me think about my favourite singalong songs. If you were to record a tape of your favourites, what would be on it? Mine (not in any particular order):

American Pie
Billy Don't Be a Hero
Gypsies Tramps and Thieves
Band of Gold
My Guy
Sitting On The Dock of the Bay
Without You
The Israelites
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
The Boxer
Abraham Martin and John
Handbags and Gladrags
Homeward Bound
Carnival Is Over
Poetry In Motion
Maggie May
You Wear It Well
Forever and Ever
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue
Hotel California
Lying Eyes

Oh well, 21 but whose counting?

> MarkRae - bit of a typo there ^ You've Lost That Lovin Feelin

It certainly was - which is why I posted a link showing the correctly spelled name...

Moucha! re. "recipe for today Jim" Bl00dy norah - that brought a memory flooding back - and the theme music.
Jimmy Young!! Is he still alive? I remember his and Terry Wogan's show used to be side by side and TW used to just rip the Fosters out of him.

[MarkRae]

Still alive, but retired:

As regards the interplay between him and Wogan, Young *always* had the upper hand though it almost always went about half a mile over Terry's head...

Yep AP - JY and his toupe are still going - now a Sunday newspaper columnist. Bless him for the way he always wrote down the recipes and counted out the number of ingredients! So many notches on his gun .............. :-)

[Answerprancer]

Still alive :-) aw bless! That's a relief to hear.
I didn't know that Mark, the times I heard them I was pretty young and probably too naive to pick up the subtlety - I always thought TW was smug and self important.

[MOUCHA]

He still is AP !

[MarkRae]

> I always thought TW was smug and self important.

Yes, he was / is - and JY ran rings round him...

LOL...I need to source some recording of them both in action, looks like I've missed out.
