We've had threads on films and books so here's songs covered..
Other day I was searching out old vinyl to put onto CD and found "Letter from America" (Proclaimers) I played it, hub (Dave) and I sang along at the top of our voices to it. I really like that song (when we're not singing it..) Anyway, I commented to him, "that's one of those songs that gives me goosebumps" and he knew just what I meant. He said his GB song is "Fairy Tale of New York) Pogues.
So - is there a song that sends shivers up your spine and makes the hairs stand up on your arms..? What's your GB song??
Also to consider:
Songs that make you feel cheerful. Mine are:
The Wonder of You - Elvis (who could not smile when that is being blasted out especially badly on a karaoke!!)
Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
It must be Love - Madness
This Charming Man - Morrissey
and lastly - songs you'd have played at your funeral
Mine are Viva Las Vegas (Elvis) and "I'll fly away" (Alison Krauss/Gillian Welsh from O Brother Where Art Thou)
any other song catagory suggestions??
