16 - A song that you discovered recently but feels timeless
Recently, a friend sent me a link to this one. Both Morrissey and Lennon apparently were big fans. Listen out for Jimmy Page on fuzz box 😊
Diana Dors -So Little Time

15 - A song that feels like the ocean
I think it was the ‘bobbing along in our barrel’ line that made me think of the ocean. Andy Partridge’s lovely theme for the short-lived Wonderfalls TV show 🥰
I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls

13 - A song that feels surreal
🤔 I can’t think of any good Surrealist songs so I’m forced to go with Dada - Surrealism’s cheeky precursor 👍
Trio - Dada (da)

11 - A song about society and politics
Does anybody know how long to World War III?
I wanna know, I’ve got book me holidee…
The whole thing's daft
I don't know why
You have to laugh
Or else you cry

It should be something indulgent that others may not appreciate. I shall take myself back to the days when I could imagine Hutch singing this to me 🥰

9 A song everyone should hear at least once
I’m uncomfortable being that bossy! However this might be a historically important one. It influenced SO MANY UK artists (No Lonnie, no Beatles!)
Lonnie Donegan - Rock Island Line

Close your eyes and you probably think you’re listening to a Bee Gees number, but that would be a shame because then you would miss out on seeing the dishiest of all the brothers.
Poor Andy though 🥺
