As far as the song is concerned, you haven’t been missing out for all these years.

Come on Burnley Come on Burnley. Not heard that one for while.

[exilecanada]

Two songs I haven't heard in ages. Two songs covered by multiple artists over the years, these two versions, IMHO are the definitive versions.

I've not heard "My pink half of the drainpipe" for awhile, nor "Futilists Lament", perhaps the world wasn't ready for them.

Heard ‘My Pink Half of the Drainpipe’ just the other day!

The birdie song.

Haven't heard this for 20 years or so then it popped on the radio whilst in the car last week. Took me back to playing a game of pool in a pub in Blackburn whilst on my dinner break at college. Weird how a song can trigger such a mundane event recollection.

Ann Lee - Two times.....Tenerife 1997

[Chobulous]

Proper wracking my brains to find an obscure song to post

[BenWickes]

First time I heard this was in a Blackburn College break room, blaring out very loudly. I'd been studying (briefly) Television and VHS Recorder repairs. Two things came apparent quickly. I wouldn't be able to stand those noisy break rooms every time I went in and that even the tutor admitted that he didn't see the point. He'd intimated at the time that the tube type TV's and VHS recorders of the time would soon be obsolete. He genuinely looked crestfallen and dejected when he said 'You won't make much of a career from this in the future'. This song always takes me back to that day I decided Tube TV/VHS repairs wouldn't be a good career move. 31 years ago

Even at zero volume that song blared out. How she was able to scream at that level of decibels was beyond me

All I remember about this song, apart from it being complete shite, was that it was later revealed that the girl singing, actually wasn't. I'm not sure it was called lipsynching back then, but it sure as hell wasn't her.

Must admit, love this song.

Tess Daly appears in the video too.

A song I actually like but haven't heard in years was on the radio yesterday while painting the kitchen Claret.

Yes the woman in the video is Katrin Quniol miming but the voice is actually Loleatta Holloway.

Was never a big fan of Slade when I was growing up...liked one or two tracks though.

This is one I liked as soon as I first heard it,I think it was on the coach to Hull in 83 when we got stuffed 4-1.

[Vintage Claret]

On another thread someone mentioned the radio station 'united DJ's' which plays mainly older stuff so thought I'd give it a try.

This was one of the first tracks they played, takes me back to my early disco days as a pimply youth..

Donna Summer 'Loves unkind'
