Your favorite songs

Postby jkid » December 16th, 2008 4:54 pm

This thread is for people to talk about their favourite songs. Or those songs you get stuck in your head easily. :)

Thanks Taurus for starting your karaoke thread, that's what got me thinking :)

I'll start:
Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
Cold Chisel - Khe San
The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup

And the latest song to get stuck in my head, much to my distress:

Islands in the stream

For the baby boomer Japanese students its got to be what was know in the English world as "sukiyaki", but actually released as "ue o muite arukoo". Here is a link to the very interesting song and writer facts: www.maddmansrealm.com/sukiyaki/

Link to the author singing the original "sukiyaki" (title has nothing to do with the song lyrics).
