Ok, I've gone back a few years and it doesn't seem that there is a thread fpr this in the recent past, so I thought it'd be good to start one where you can just post random songs, for no reason other than you want to post them. I'll kick off - Children - Joe South

Nice idea, Dalgliesh! I just heard an Aussie classic from 1969. A very haunting anti-Vietnam War song. 'Rachel'- Russell Morris

Same theme, from the same era. I was listening to it the other night: "Sky Pilot" by Eric Burdon and The Animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP0IXOr9O8U

Another somewhat historical song that's been pretty much forgotten - Written by Brian Cadd, it's about Ned Kelly - Son of a Simple Man - Jon Blanchfield

And a newer one by a group that's probably been unfairly regarded - All These Things I've Done - The Killers

'Taxi' - Harry Chapin A good story-teller...

'Got a Secret' The Pierces A bit weird but quite catchy.

Amazing storyteller. This one is probably my fave of his, criminally under-rated - A Better Place To Be - Harry Chapin

Ren, always loved that one! I lived a mere 1km away from the Brasserie Familiale Huyghe where they brew Delirium Tremens strong pale ale, which always brought this one to mind : Delirium Tremens - Christy Moore

Love it, Dalgliesh! Here's one that made it to n°1 in Ireland the week I got married - Guaglione ~ Perez Prado (but some may know it better as the That ad for "The black Stuff")

Here's one that made it to n°1 in Ireland the week I got married - Guaglione ~ Perez Prado (but some may know it better as the That ad for "The black Stuff") Why don't they have music videos like that anymore? A minor hit for Robin Jolley (Marshall's Portable Music Machine) in 1973, this is one of those irritatingly catchy songs - Do You Wanna Boogie - Robin Jolley

Thanks for that Tryst. I haven't heard that one before, it's really good! Sort of led me to this one - If You Were a Sailboat - Katie Melua

The first time I heard this one was actually when I was watching David Armand do an interpretive dance to it! Fell in love with it straight away - Human - The Killers

Out of tragedy this guy created something beautiful - Tears in Heaven ~ Eric ClaptonGotta agree with Dalgliesh, ozzz, your "Got a secret" is decidedly ummm ... odd, but quite strangely appealing all the same.
