Guest Netspeaky Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Right now for some fun, who's going to admit they secretly have a soft spot for a tune that you know you would get slated for on this forum, or at least think you will, you never know someone might actually agree with you. Any way we don't want anyone getting about the choices, it's fun item not to be taken seriously :good: I start off with a couple of tune to get it going Gary Lewis & the Playboys - My HeartsSymphony (Not even a Soul record, but kinda sums the early pop tunes that were played in the Casino, which I danced my heart out to.) The Vogues - That's The Tune (Another pop record that sums up all those good time pop tunes that have been played on our scene over the years, still hum along when I hear it.) Remember I don't want anyone slagging each others choices off, it's just FUN theme, and please add WHY it has a soft spot with you, as this is your get out clause. Let the fun begin Edited December 30, 2005 by Netspeaky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
