Re: Re: Re: Favorite Oldie!
 

*Bows down to Yoda* Old wiseman, are oldies going to take over the intergalactic universe and kill all of those damn trekkies?

Anyway...

Jailhouse Rock

my all time favorite 'oldies' are only oldies to you pups ..
to me they are contemporaries..

(i'm taking 'oldies' to be songs that were around long before you were born)


in that case it would be just about anything by Burt Bacharach and Hal David...

(the men who invented cool)

Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin
Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin
Tell It Like It Is - Aaron Neville

wow - great choices!

Thank you, thank you very much :D

Lets see...Im a big Sinatra fan, so I'll have to go with "As Time Goes By", "Strangers in the Night", "Something Stupid", and the Rat Pack version of "Mack the Knife".

I seem to have forgotten about "This Magic Moment." I'm particularly partial to Lou Reed's version, but I don't think that really counts as an oldie.

Holy shit.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned any Skynyrd.

"Tuesday's Gone" and "Simple Man".

'Nuff said.

It's nice to see there's a few Bobby Darin fans here other than myself,I always liked his stuff especially "Artificial Flowers" it's such a depressing song and carries it off with glee.
