since a long time i thought about this thread. sometimes we are kind of list maniacs and surely there exists a thread like 'your favourite song' or similar where everyone mentions songs like good vibrations etc.. but what are the real faves which you always hum, whistle and sing. i have al least three in mind which i singing nearly every day, so that i think that these little pieces are the real faves of me. here they are: big stars - thirteen. a simple, but gorgeous tune which i sing-a-long nearly every day. cream - white room. i don't listened to my old vinyl cream sampler since a myriad, but this song cames always to my mind. jack bruce - theme from an imaginery western. strange, first a cream song, then a song from a cream member - and i swear i am not a cream maniac . nevertheless, this is another song whirring in my brain. and what are your sing-a-longs? | ||

Probably something from the jazz/pop American Songbook. It would have to be My One And Only Love, since I have about a dozen versions of it from all the jazz albums I have. Even a non-vocal arrangement of it by Horace Silver, still knocks me for a loop. The lyrics ring true some 50 plus years after they were written, which proves to me the song is timeless. | ||

Chas n Dave, pah, I have issues with that song & It's not just the rhyming by numbers. More realistically David Byrne - Broken Things Ramones - Rockaway Beach | ||

I don't have a singalong song because my singing is so bad that I embarrass even myself in an empty room, but as for a song that isn't necessarily on my all-time favorites list but for some reason has stuck a permanent hook in my head, it's "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. | ||

I often find the tune of If I Can't Change Your Mind by Sugar going through my mind. Like right now for instance. | ||

Pad, yep that Sugar song is real pop masterclass is it not!? Its absolutely perfect, a REAL perfect singalong popsong, it does not have one thing wrong with it. The lasttime I saw justin the singer with Del Amitri, i was talking to him about the song the had Roll to me, as it was a real fave of mine, which is another lovely short pop song. In particular I noticed the lead acoustic was v. similar to their old stlye of playing which is apparent on the very first album on Chrysalis. And he mentioned that he'd played the lead bit although he is bassist, etc anyhow, we both got onto Sugar too, and reflecting I can see more than a similarity between the two songs. Wonder if he was inspired by Mr Mould? | ||

Great call on the Kinks, Charles. I can't think of a more beautiful and inspiring song. | ||

Justin's a lovely bloke isn't he? Met him in a bar in Glasgow one night in December 2001 and had a couple of drinks with him. My mate, who revealed himself to be a major Del Amitri fan, did most of the talking. He send us to the 13th Note Club afterwards - failing to mention that he co-owns it! Great club though and, in fairness, he did say to mention his name if we had any trouble at the door. | ||

The best way to know what your favorite song is for those who are digitally savvy is to set up a last.fm account, which records each and every song you play whilst online. I did it and I was amazed to find that I like the Beach Boys a lot more than what I had previously thought! |
