The primary tune I bear in mind listening to
My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, from a multi-coloured vinyl youngsters’ album. I appreciated it a lot, I dressed up like the child within the John Lewis advert and danced across the sunroom to the tune in a bedspread and headdress to entertain my mom’s knit and natter group, however they only appeared puzzled.
The tune I inexplicably know each lyric to
I grew up in Kettering. We didn’t have tradition. The closest we obtained was Andrew Lloyd Webber. I went to see Jesus Christ Celebrity, obtained the album, then the sheet music. So I in all probability know each phrase.
The primary single I purchased
Emma by Scorching Chocolate, from Woolworths. I appreciated the lyrics: “I’m gonna write your identify excessive on that silver display screen.”
The tune that’s my karaoke go-to
I keep away from karaoke in any respect prices. The final time I did it was at theological school. We pulled in at a pub in a post-industrial city in West Yorkshire, however they didn’t need Christmas carols, so I ended up singing Olivia Newton-John’s half from You’re the One That I Need. A fellow ordain from Liverpool known as Degsy was John Travolta.
The tune I can not hearken to
This Charming Man. A lot as I just like the tune, Morrissey has ceased to be charming for me.
The most effective tune to play at a celebration
I actually like Making Plans for Nigel by XTC. It could in all probability get me to go house sooner, which I’m all the time searching for at a celebration.

The tune I secretly like, however inform everybody I hate
I'd by no means admit to liking Phil Collins. No Jacket Required can be the soundtrack of hell, I believe. However secretly I like Phil Collins, and secretly I actually appreciated In opposition to All Odds (Take a Take a look at Me Now).
The most effective tune to have intercourse to
Properly, it’s been some time. So I’ll say Soul II Soul’s Again to Life (Nonetheless Do You Need Me).
The tune I want I had written
Don’t Depart Me This Manner by the Communards. We bought an terrible lot of information of it, however we didn’t write it. If we had, I’d have a a lot greater pension.
The tune I would like performed at my funeral
All 15 hours of all 4 of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen operas.
