The best cure when you're feeling low just has to be The Goons doing the Ying-Tong Song.

Default Moody Blues

Another '67 Classic....... how Justin drags out the: oh.... ...how I l....o....v.....e....you
is super...also the 'fake' orchestra was fab too!

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you.........
Oh, how, I love you........

Amber rum, straight up with a dash of lemon works better for me Hoot!
Never heard of 'em or the song, am I missing something?

You got it Alli! I have a stack of 1950-60's CD's - classics! Had a few of them on last nite. The modern crap cannot even begin to match up against those old classics!

Crying in the Rain. Classic unrequited love. Must admit that A-Ha's version is just as great. Especially the opening thunderclaps!

I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize a romantic gesture if I tripped over it, so here's a bit of Amy W summing up my attitude

My Dad used to have that on a 78rpm & it was one of my favourites as a little kid!

He had quite a few 78's, most of which got sadly broken during a house move. I'll have to check with him if this was one that survived or perished.

I'm told he also had all of Elvis Presley's hits, up to about 1962, but gave them all away to his then girlfriend.

When I was a young teenager (before I got into the sauce) we used them for target practice in the country - I lived in the bush then, still do,,,, loved the old shellac 78's tho.....
