Jukebox suggestions

Recommended Posts

My local has a jukebox, which although not reliant of 45" vinyl discs, is not of the most modern vintage. You have to push coins in it (remember them), and it does not have every song on the internet. I have been trying to remember songs from my youth, but I have been trying not to pick obvious number ones or to repeat myself, which is not easy. Today I played:

 

Lorraine - Bad Nanners

All Through the City - Dr Feelgood

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone - Dr Hook

Mr Blue Sky - ELO

Centrefold - J Geils Band

Too Nice to Talk To - The Beat

Just Got Lucky - The Beat

Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners

Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell

Baclk on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders

Forest - The Cure

Till I Can't Take Your Love - Eddie Grant

Billy Hunt - The Jam

 

More suggestions please.

1981

Just started work at a hospital, in the soical club a jukebox 20p per song, at lunch time the only song that was played was "no Woman No Cry by Bob Marley, it was played so often all you could hear was loads of crackles on the record so not sure why people still kept putting their 20p's in to hear it .MEGA mega brill song .

That reminds me of a 1977 song, You Light Up my Life by Debby Boone. I enjoyed the song at first but it was played so much that I started disliking the song. I mean, you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing it. :)

I got the dirtiest looks (I was half expecting to be kicked out) playing The Rockafella Skank by FatBoy Slim on a jukebox in a very redneck-looking bar one time. It was on their jukebox so couldn't see the problem :giggle2:

If it was a redneck bar I doubt I'd have done that. I did however play Gary Glitter's It's Good to be Back on a jukebox. Two people walked out, but I don't suppose it was anything to do with the song.

Anyone remember these songs when they were first recorded:

 

 

 

No. 1 Hits of the 60's.jpg

 

I don't remember these when they were first released (bit young 😋 ) but I do remember several of them from later.

Interesting that Carole King wrote the music for 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' sung by the Shirelles in 1960 and then later recorded herself singing it in 1971.

Bit too young here as well, I do know the well known ones but didn't recognise a lot of the titles.

Me too

If you look closely I'll bet there are at least 16 of the ones listed that you all know. 

 

For example: The Highwaymen - Michael (Row the Boat Ashore. Hallelujah!

Probably remember them all if I heard them, songs tended to stick around a lot longer than they do nowadays. I recognise at least 11 😊

Do any of you recognize this artist:

 

Gale Garnett

 

 

 

 

If not, do you remember hearing this song and lyrics:

 

We'll sing in the Sunshine

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And I'll be on my way
 
We'll Sing in the Sunshine has been in my head for 2 days now.

Yes, I remember that one, Muggle 😊

One of our local artists, Bunny Walters, did a version of it as well.

Did you know that Gale Garnett was from New Zealand. She moved to Canada when she was about 12 years old.
