I have this song stuck in my head today, thanks to a new TV show being advertised ... Glee. Anyways, Don't Stop Believing by Journey is the song - and I can't stop humming and singing it - and its driving me slightly nutty!It does have a very special place in my heart though ...
It takes me back - waaaay back! It reminds me of Star of the West Pub, meeting Craig, falling in love... ah... those were the days... not a care in the world... I was young ... too young!
This song was always the last song played by the DJ at Star of the West at "Last Orders at the bar now please, Lads and Lasses" on a weekend - the whole pub would sing along - the DJ would turn down the music to hear us singing! Corny really! A pub full of merry folks, singing their hearts out, the DJ turning the volume off and swearing at us for bumping into his "gear" with our dancing and scratching the vinyl!
I remember chatting to Craig many times before I realized that there was "something there" to this song. I remember my girlfriends and I singing our heads off, laughing, dancing and fooling around to this song. I remember being stuck in the long line for the ladies loo - all the ladies singing and doing the "potty dance" in line to this song!
It is a classic song of the 80's. There are probably a gazillion memories conjured up by this song ... what's yours?
