The Golden Oldies thread
Remember when songs had a tune and you could make out ALL the words...
Well this thread is dedicated to unadulterated nastagia ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nh6pTedQgY Sometimes you can even forgive a few dodgy notes as in this next one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIEBErVs0fY |

We still have this single in the loft from my late father's collection. I thought it quite funny at the time but now it's nostalgic.

Here's another version, which isn't very good............but note the spelling mistake on the record label !!.......... ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLcb_...eature=related |

I am having such a good time listening to all these oldies.
![]() Thank you everyone. I'd also add http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55yNWCnXTI With this one you have to close your eyes and just listen. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BYmyoqe8jA And the 1961 UK Eurovision entry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVY4v...eature=related |

Wow I really couldn't have hoped for more when I started this thread, some great choices here..... ![]() Adam Faith - Someone Else's Baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbhS...eature=related Quote:
My husband plays in a band called Time Machine and they do that one regularly! It's funny when it comes to the bit when they say, "why must I be teenager in love" and they stop and let the audience sing it. We're all over 60+
Sadly smoking and drinking took their toll and my voice, such as it was, went years ago… it’s actually quite frustrating knowing the right notes and only hitting one in ten |

One of my favourite Bobby Vee songs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U38b7...eature=related Though it doesn't have quite the lyrics of 'Stayin' in' - "He was saying things that weren't true about her So I let him have it in the cafeteria". ![]() And a sometimes-forgotten Brian Hyland gem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGO62KzQkxY Two of Brian's more well-known recordings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPRnh...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIkUi...eature=related though the latter version was recorded circa 1965 and again is another one listened to, rather than watched. (Eat your heart out Jason Donovan, because you don't even come close to this! )Del Shannon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yIaelSVhyM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiZ__BAWRk4 Just a couple of my favourite Everly Brothers songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffynu...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT48Y...eature=related |
