Favourite song of years gone by

A couple of favs from the 70's - both with a 'Movie' theme.
"Celluloid Heros" by the Kinks,


and probably a more 'obscure' track,
"Play it again" by Roderick Falconer.

C'mon people, join in, or I'll dominate this thread! I could do this 'til I die! Pushing the limits, taking liberties, revealing the full extent of my 'prattishness'! This one is me...




Leave the Soundcloud site as soon as this 'song' finishes - or you might hear some good stuff. (Not reccomended)

I do like a bit of Godfather of soul Mr James Brown when I need cheering up, Like this one:-

Give me a bit of shakey anytime I spent most of the eighties in bed with Shakin Stevens only trouble was he wasn't there.

Think I get your drift. Shakey, just a good looking, talented, Welsh bloke!
This do anything for you...?

What about this...?

...Or this piece of lunarcy...

And one just for me, coz I'm a soppy old ex-hippy...

This will make you laugh, when I was a baby/toddler I was crazy on Bay city rollers if I was crying and they came on I would stop crying and to scar me for life I had my own tartan outfit!!

As a 'teen' the 'Rollers' were not "cool" - you had to be 'into' Prog rock (stuff the Punks later hated!) to have 'street cred'. 1983 - I'm invited to a 'Garden Party' by a friend of a friend (some 'do' to welcome a woman from Scotland coming down South to work. ??!) Didn't know many there, conversations a bit stilted. Two big blokes turned up. One had a shaved head and muscles on his muscles. The other looked like a slightly toned-down Hell's Angels biker. From my chair on the lawn, I watched them. They were not really interacting with anyone else, they entered the house via the conservatory. Interesting... After a few minutes "Shang-a-lang" started belting out into the garden! They had found the 'stereo' and a BCR greatest hits album! They knew all the words and were singing along (in tune too!). They were really funny guys and entertained us all afternoon. Made the afternoon in fact. Were they a 'Gay' couple? Don't know, don't care! Made me re-think what "cool" really is though!
Here's another song from around the same era...

A 'classic' imo.

...and here's something I found on one of my Dad's (commercial) CDs. Just listen to the words...what do you think?
