Friday night music is: songs that remind you of your schooldays

[Dave7]

As a child of the 50/60s there are lots but I will go with a surprise one......

It's A Long Way To Tipperary.
(Can someone put the link thing on ??)

Our history teacher fought in both world wars. He would have us 14 year olds marching around the classroom in formation while singing it.

My best mate at school had an older brother with more advanced music tastes than us, who used to make mix tapes. I had one of them.
It had School Meals, that I posted above, also some Ian Dury, Siouxsie, and this:

Wire - I am the Fly

I played this album to death when it came out. I was about 14 at the time.

It was the first Cure album I heard fully and It led me on to The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and Souxsie and the Banshees.

The first album of theirs I heard , owned my a mate's big brother . I still enjoy it today , despite the awful crash cymbal on Killing An Arab lol

1 Contender for that song could be Python Lee Jackson- In A Broken Dream................very rare and never really 'released' as such. A few pubs had it on old jukeboxes in the 70's and some disco owners had a copy but not many, I'd post a linky but can't on this crap 'chromebook' thingy but try and give it a listen

Python Lee Jackson. In A Broken Dream

Was it the song,it was extremely rare and you couldn't buy it so we listened to it wherever we could.

The song was only a 'Demo' as the Australian band tried to make it in Britain, recorded in 1970 with Rod not famous yet, it was tried to be released in 72 but by then Rod was in the Small Faces and I think their management killed it off. Shame really as it was a classic song

I was aware of the record, but as you say Rod had joined the small faces, so I wouldn't be at all surprised that his management/record company quashed it in favour of The Small Faces
