Badwolf Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 There has been quite a bit of chat on the forum about music, car radios and stuff like that. I though that it might be fun, as summer days fade and the nights draw in, to list your favourite 10 summer tunes from any era. The sort of tunes that bring back memories of 'that long hot summer', drivin' with the top down, or the windows open, absolutely oblivious to the annoyance being caused or, in the case of certain tunes, the potential embarassment to you. If you have a passion for the Wombles or Black Lace (!!!) go on, admit it to the world I will sort out mine and list them shortly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Does this include tunes that are now banned? (Mungo Jerry, Blue Mink, stuff like that....) My fav songs remind me of places I went on holiday - I can pretend I'm back there again - so I've a lot of Greek stuff - Orfeas Peridis, Paulis Paulidis, Thanassis Papakonstantinou and the like; a lot of Indian stuff like Malkit Singh, as I love the drum rhythms, and English folk such as Spiers and Boden or the Albion Band. Most recent 'normal' CDs I've bought were Big Country (Greatest Hits Collection) and Kraftwerk. One of my former workmates looked at my CD collection and commented: "God, you listen to some sh&t"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungo Jerry (drink driving) Blue Mink (racist)... even "Daddy wouldn't buy me a bowwow" is apparrently gay or lesbian or whatever but at least it's not banned - yet. Gordon Giltrap - now THERE'S one I haven't heard in an age. I remember playing that on guitar back in the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 "Un home et une femme" - daaah daah daah da-da-da-da daah! Etc. Etc. Cool, avec le 'je ne sais pas', it is ideal journey music. The film is worth watch when you get there. Beautiful women, nice cars - the plot centres on the '66 Le Mans, so GT40s, Ferraris, Mustangs etc. Real drivers movie. Bonne chance!
