Recommend a song that made you tingle.

[Blackandblue]

José González' cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop. Heard it on an episode of House (Massive Attack's version is the main theme tune).

That is great. I like most of the music they play on House.

Particular favourites which all qualify for my submissions on this thread are:

Colors - Amos Lee
Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen
Orange Sky - Alexei Murdoch
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Desire - Ryan Adams

Hurt by Johnny Cash though is my number one vote for this category (although it probably doesn't qualify as recent enough).

I like to use YouTube as a jukebox, someone had tagged a load of videos as being Kurt Cobain's favourite 50 tracks (or something similar). Ms. P and I enjoyed most of those. Especially The Shaggs.

Yeah, Youtube has been just a complete revelation. All this obscure stuff on there, within a couple of seconds. At one time lots of it would have been almost completely inaccessible, now you just sit there clicking away. So easy to waste a couple of hrs just following links on that thing, especially after the pub. Kids have it easy nowadays!

Ibrahim Ferrer - Herido de Sombras... basically singing about a lost love, only the shadows remain rather lovely though... clip continues onto other songs too....

The theme to Cosner's Robin Hood thingy "Look into my eyies" etc. i regret to say, it still makes me tingle, but i can't remember who sang it.

Way back when, Chris Evans used to do a great radio show on GLR on Sunday mornings. On one, he described going to a wedding the day before, at which the organist had failed to turn up. A hurried replacement had been told the music for going down the aisle was to be the Robin Hood theme - meaning the "Look into my eyies" etc one. Sure enough the happy couple ended up coming down the aisle to diddle-dum diddle-dum diddle-dum-dum-dum, diddle-dum diddle-dum diddle-dum-dum-dum etc

Okay, showing both my age and my secret romantic side, here's my idea of a perfect day out, even though there isn't a bicycle in sight... From Play Misty For Me, Roberta Flack, The First Time Ever I saw Your Face.

NB For those of you with prudish bosses - contains (softcore) scenes of a sexual nature, including mild nudity.

Oooh, it still gets to me after all these years. No, not like that - wash your mind out with soapy water !

PS When someone with a voice like that wins The X-Factor, I'll believe that it deserves to exist as a TV programme!

The First Time Ever I saw Your Face

I would love there to be a cockney-fied version of this called, "the first time ever I clocked your boat"

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Surely it would be "The Damien Hirst Rhythm and Rhyme Ever Sea and Sky Clocked your Boat", or something?

 

[Alan Biles]

Bonnie Tyler. Total eclipse of the heart. Does it every time.

 

[Over The Hill]

OK as you all seem to be 'fessing up (as they say) here is my offering..

Real tear in the eye stuff but not going into yucky girl or american style pap.

[Rhythm Thief]

Actually, Calling Lightning With a Scythe by Howlin' Rain is doing it for me at the moment. Especially the bonkers guitar solo in the middle.

 

[Lardyboy]

The opening riff still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck!

Nice one swee-pea.

diddle dum diddle dum diddle dum dum dum

On reflection, wasn't that the William Tell theme?

I'm not certain, but, Robin Hood may have been more of a : DAH DAH DAH, DAH DAH DAH, DAH da DAH da DAH.

Pretty much anything by Capercaillie.

But tingle of the moment is The Ballad of the Foxhunter by Irish American folk band Cherish the Ladies.
