  • As we seem to be on a music kick, what songs makes you wish you were or were not from somewhere?

    This might be better explained if I say my (ab)nomination is Candle in the wind 1997, makes me want to set off a UK wide dirty bomb and then emigrate somewhere, anywhere else.

  • summer breeze, away from this weather

  • Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone makes me wish I was waking up in bed with a certain somebody

  • I have a pathological hatred of Sweet Home Alabama.

  • roxy Ain't No Sunshine

    Best version?

    I have the one by Freddie King which is quite good

  • cotton eye joe. Makes me ashamed to be my father's son (not because he was in any way affiliated with the band, just because he bought the single).

  • http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5gk8pbd_DNM
    i wish i was from the CPT

  • Local Hero - Mark Knopfler

    Makes me wish I was back on the road chasing that horizon

  • *edit wrong thread

  • one word: Enya.

  • two words: James Blunt

  • Two words made into one horrible word... Boyzone.

  • one word and two numbers! east 17

  • um if you ever go in sainsbury's at mornington crescent, anything they play there:

    yesterday I went in and they were playing Simply Red Fairground.

    today they were playing Robbie Williams millennium.

    while I was in the queue, the track shifted to savage garden "truly madly deeply". This song means nothing to me, except that I happen to know that the rugby-captain hooray henry my gf shagged put it on before they did it (she told him he "should be ashamed", apparently, though it wasn't a dealbreaker).
    (n.b. I LOVE it that this is the type of thing these types listen to when they're feeling deep, as opposed to the usual diet of kaiser chiefs, foo fighters and maybe razorlight if they're feeling "indie")

  • USpew make me wish I wasnt Irish

  • But Dexys Midnight Runners make me wish I was around that era

  • makes me wish I still had my denim jacket

  • September Gurls by Big Star makes me wanna drop everything and go live in Memphis every time I hear it...

  • Louie Louie by Toots & The Maytals always makes me wish I was driving to a beach somewhere on a hot summers day.

  • aidan one word and two numbers! east 17

    East 17's christmas no. 1 was great!

  • bigben

    ahahahahahha!

    how true.

    just about every football "song" makes me ashamed to be British.

    and "Fog on the Tyne" by Gazza makes me glad I'm not from the north.

    when I hear this:
