With only a few short weeks until our social - 28th March in Stirling - and the music list almost complete, I'm looking for suggestions of classic 80s tunes, the song that defines that period, takes you right back etc etc
All sensible suggestions for the playlist gratefully appreciated, let's make sure it's a great night!!!!
Just a reminder,
******Stirling social 28th March, VERY LIMITED number of spaces still available******

Looks like it'll be tiffany then! Hopefully it's going to be dancing on the dance floor with no tears.
I'll be thinking of a nice slow song to check your following the desired social protocol, since you converted Mrs kk, it's inky fair you are checked!! |

"You can ring my bell I'd luv to ring a few on here lol anyone remembers that tune
Not an 80s tune, it was out in 79"
You see, here now lies the issue 1978/79/80 and 1989/90/91 80's era or strictly the 80's decade?
As 'dj' *head slowly shaking looking down to ground* should I be able to decide if it was the 80's or not, for example is 1979 actually '1980 minus 1' or 1992 '1980 twelve' |

Well lets put it this way when would you pick up your pension first? if you were born in 79 or 80? 79 belongs to the 70s |

Gold or True by Spandau Ballet
Brilliant for calling your mates at 4.30am when pissed and singing - very badly - down the phone at the top of your voice after you've woken them up. You get a bonus if you call and catch them "on the job" lol |
