a song from the past

Lucky girl, same for me Young Girl and I can’t tell you all why!

Same here, Luckygirl

'Beach Baby' by the group First Choice always conjures up lovely memories of when I was 15 years old. I had 2 friends at that time, and we used to love doing random things to pass the time. We lived by the Coast and decided one evening to go on a Mystery Coach Tour one summers evening.
It cost us 50p each and as everyone else on board were basically pensioners, we were the 'babies' of the group.
We had a truly great time seeing places that were new to us before stopping off at a pub for a lemonade. On the way back, my Friends and I started singing some old songs.( I told you that we did random things ).
I will never forget the moment when everyone on the coach joined us in 'Underneath the Arches', and 'My old Man said follow the van'.
My Friends and I had a truly wonderful time and best of all, the other Passengers thanked us for the sing song when we all got off.
That was when I heard the song 'Beach Baby' playing in an Arcade close to the seafront.
It made the evening somehow complete. A perfect summer song for a perfect summer evening. Happy Days ??.

As soon as I hear Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson, I'm right back in Affleck & Brown's in Manchester, where I was a Saturday girl. Sitting On the Dock of the Bay by Marvin Gaye is another. Happy days!

This reminds me of the fair, with the sounds and smells, and flashing lights.
Also, all the good looking boys who worked on the rides.

Never heard that one before, MissAdventure . But I love the beat .

And this one, just classic. Though I only found it recently:

No comparison with modern popular music.

That's fab Fennel Never seen that before.

Brillant Fennel, and I am not a stones Fan !!

I'm not really but that was great.

Yes always makes me smile/laugh, but not really in line with the topic. Except maybe reminds of those carefree days....

Kissin' in the back of the movies on a Saturday night. The Drifters ?

Sitting on the dock of the bay was by Otis Redding.

You're quite right kitty,

I'm probably just older than you chewbacca!

Chewy is nobbut a lass kitty

I always liked Jethro Tull, they were a great band, but the really evocative song of the 60’s for me was A Whiter Shade Of Pale and Like A Rolling Stone.....takes me right back to
‘Groovy Baby’ days.

I wish lemon!

I rather like jethro tull, although I think they're a bit before my time?
I think I'm a latecomer to their music.

I was doing a bit of smoochy dancing at a party with a fellow I had fancied for a while, to ‘Ruby Tuesday’. We sneaked outside to do some proper kissing, and now, every time I hear it, I can recall the smell of his tweed jacket!

Oh how lovely!
What a marvellous thing, unless his jacket was horrible smelling?

So do you keep playing it again, Daddima?

I'm not in love by 10cc always reminds me of horribly uncomfortable shuffles around the floor with someone at the school disco..

Ever since reading the OP, I`ve had Jesamine going through my head, I loved it back when, and I still love it, always used to turn the radio up full blast when it came on.

What a great thread, brings back so many memories.☺️

When working night duty and sleeping in the nurses home, My friend in the room next door used to wake me up at 6pm playing Cliff Richard singing Summer Holiday. Oh to be a twenty year old again.
