UKM jukebox
 

How about a thread where members can share songs they are currently enjoying. As obscure or mainstream as you like.

Just post a YouTube or Spotify link. And maybe a quick sentence or two on why you like it

Ex posted a belter earlier on one of the moribund threads

A classic from 1986. Reached #2 in the US and the UK. Cool girl group. And written by Prince!

Here's the official video

N.B. When entering the UK-M Jukey, you have to make a selection otherwise a song gets selected on your behalf. That’s the rule.

Excellent thread.

Who doesn’t love a bit of Chas n Dave ? Not these guys…

Great cracking whip sound effects. Sort of edgy...

More Susanna...

I guess right at the very beginning when Susanna was saying ‘give us a little Mo, Debbie, give us a little Mo’ she was referring to Mo Tucker as she launched into a Lou Reed 'waiting for the man' type riff on her Rickenbacker. Cool lady.

Playing on Kashmir rugs. Surreal…

Strictly come oppressing.
 

Obviously you are not a big fan of Chas n Dave. Was never that keen myself Ex to be honest, but have grown to quite like them, and they must have been a favourite with our boys in the army because when evacuating Kabul it looks like they left behind a ‘Best of’ compilation of the cheeky cockney duo. Either that or it was an attempt at a cultural booby trap which those Tali bad lads fell right into…

Those Taliban boys really do need to learn some new dance moves though. Dear me, you don’t get AK-47’s on Strictly, yet.

Kind Regards,

What a great first line

But I'm pretty sure when I asked Alexa to play this recently it had mysteriously changed to "sup up your beer and collect your mates"

Disgusting if true.

We all know what Paul meant by fags. We're Brits. It's not homophobic at all

Talking of great first lines:

August tales...
 

Another great opening.

“On a Christmas cake day one
Friday in August
In a bookshop in Charing Cross Road
I first set eyes on a girl and at once I did know”

Years on, we’ve all become used to culinary delights and adventures. But nothing has quite the same thrill and memories of a simple shared meal in Uni digs with a first love. Best times really.

“And so in the gloom of a candlelit room
With spaghetti, two forks and a plate
She said "Oh I really would like to be free and escape."

What an evocative song Ex. Thanks for sharing
