GEORGIA ray charles

well this thread could become contentious Lou, i guess it depends on who you are, if you're up or down.......will give it some thought tho:)

its a good point Whirley.........i guess after a few posts we will see if we have anything that matches up :D

Gawd i couldnt even pick which song is my favourite as i have so many i love.

Yeah, I agree Jax, I have sooo many favs....

there is of course the problem aswell of wich cover you like best lol, have you ever noticed how many different covers there are of songs these days? lol

For me this as got the be the GREATEST.
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

very good song arch...........and it is the kind of song every body knows.....only truly great songs can still be heard many years later and everyone knows the words and who sung it.

Speaking of covers Uzzi and myself were talking about music the other day and i mentioned Behind Blue Eyes which was originally done by The Who but i prefer the cover by Limp Biskit.

I dont think Uzzi was amused wiv me lol

"Walk On By" By Deionne Warwick. Sad song but reminds me of being at the Disco many moons ago waiting for the best looking guy in the room to ask me to dance but rotten P-- always asked my best friend ha! ha!

I agree thought thet the Limp B version is better lol.
As a singer heading towards the pubs and clubs circuit it means i kinda do my own covers lol.....im not quite Whitney but i have a go.

Talking of whitney i do prefer her version of i will always love you to Dolly Parton (although Dolly was the lady that penned that song and a classic it has become i think she deserves alot of respect for that smart business move!)

Difficult!

From the Lyrics point of view, I think Harry Chapin's songs are hard to beat as they tell a story so well (but i know lots of people don't know of him!).

Songs we probably all remember

Bohemian Rhapsody
Without You

Elvis and the Beatles....take your pick of songs from them!

Rosex

I think Bohemian Rhapsody is probably the best song of all time in my opinion! There is some what of a magic about its nonsensical lyrics.........lyrical genius at its best! :D

When I Fall in Love, Sung By " Nat (King) Cole. .M.

good choice merlin.
What makes it stand out to you?

Hi Merlin.

Louise, why in that song do they sing about Walls Sausages? I have neva understood that?

Lou, cos he met me at the w/e

Because Its my Favorite,and Many years ago I used to sing it,and before anyone has a laugh, I could at one time sing Quite Well ( As most Welsh People Do ) .M. :o)))>

walls sausages? are you hungry? lol

You know i was out on friday night had a blast on the karaoke and some guy sang bat out of hell...it was AWEFUL! my ears cried it hurt them so much!
