For me, it's a tie between Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes and Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. Both songs make me want to switch the dial immediately!! Also, Escape is probably the most unrealistic song about infidelity ever written. #tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

TieDyeDude Ha, I re-watched an episode of It's Always Sunny recently where they were arguing about Escape being a Jimmy Buffett song 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wahj_Dexhxw

Solid choices. “Thanks“ for playing 😉

Megabooks I‘ve always found both these songs funny! 8h
AlaMich I was a kid when Afternoon Delight was on the radio…never had a clue what the title referred to! 😂 6h

Leftcoastzen Eewww! Agree 3h
Ruthiella Oh, I love both those songs. They remind me of being 10 years old and having no clue what either song was really about. 😆 2h
CarolynM I agree Escape is completely unrealistic, but I thought it was kinda cute when I first heard it. My 24yo daughter, however, is appalled by it🤣 1h

I'm sure there's tons, but these are the first to spring to mind:
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston
Modern Love/Let's Dance - David Bowie (I can't choose between them!)

Just three?!?😮 How, Denise???😁

I just love 80s music. I cannot possibly decide.
And as a fan of Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode, (not only their 80s songs!) I love two groups that had their first success in the 1980s which makes it even more impossible to choose.
3 fave songs from other artists:
1. True Faith by New Order
2. Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield
3. The Loco-Motion by Kylie Minogue

dabbe That's why I have “of“ in there ... because how can we possibly say just three? Excellent choices! 🤩 Thanks for “play“ing! 🎶🖤🎶 3w
RaeLovesToRead I can't listen to moonlight shadow without thinking about Dave Angel: Eco Warrior from The Fast Show 🤣 https://youtu.be/KGApBIcXeT8?feature=shared 3w

JanuarieTimewalker13 This is odd…book synchronicity…I‘m reading Vegas Rich by Fern Michaels and the protagonist wanted a Dusty Springfield song played at her funeral…I never found the song called “if You Don‘t Love Me” on YT. 1mo
TheBookHippie @JanuarieTimewalker13 all I know is “You don‘t have to say you love me” by her. 1mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame ♥️♥️♥️ 1mo
TheBookHippie @TrishB Awe. I love that!! She‘s so classic. 1mo

Deblovestoread Love Dusty so much! 1mo
JanuarieTimewalker13 That‘s the one I was thinking of and I wondered why the author changed the title? 1mo
TheBookHippie @JanuarieTimewalker13 didn‘t want to pay the copyright probably. 1mo
JanuarieTimewalker13 Probably! 1mo
TieDyeDude So good! Son of a Preacher Man is a classic. I know more of her work from the Stay Awhile album. I'll have to give this one a listen. 1mo

I watched the film a few weeks ago and today I listened to the audiobook. Priscilla, now 80, narrates this memoir that was published in 1986. The film closely aligns with the book, which is rare. They met when she was 14, he was 24. It seems unthinkable to let your 14 yo daughter date a 24 yo man, (even if it was Elvis), especially in 1958. I learned a lot…

I honestly didn‘t know a whole lot about Elvis before I read this and I thought it was really interesting to hear Priscilla‘s perspective about his life and their relationship. Lots of really interesting stories and I learned a lot about the king of rock.

#BigFabBeatles

Today‘s the day! On Feb 9, 1964 the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, watched by 73 million viewers. I‘m celebrating the 60th anniversary with Beatles book bingo! Each square has a Beatles song title. You can fit a book to each square however you want to - be creative and just have fun with it. I‘ll give some examples ⬇️

CSeydel “Yesterday” - can be a book set in the past, a book published in the past, a book that uses flashbacks as a narrative device, etc
“Eleanor Rigby” - a character named Eleanor, author has initials E & R, theme of loneliness, main character is an older woman, etc.
Any way you want to tie it in is fine! This is meant to be casual and fun.

willaful How fun! 3mo
LiseWorks It's amazing with each title I actually sing the song. 3mo

My parents were fans of Elvis my entire life. I mean, my name is Lisa Marie, though I've been told that's not why.
I saw the film Priscilla a couple of weeks ago and then realized that I'd had this book hanging around for a while. The movie is a very close adaptation of the sentiments in this book. Very interesting to hear (and see) Priscilla's version of their life together. #59-2023
