'My humps... my humps... my humps... my lovely lady lumps' the girl form the reality show sings and off goes the television (as long as the remote control is in the hands of my pseudo-orthodox daddy dear).
'What has happened to songs nowadays? Gone is that time when songs used to be meaningful and music melodious. Now it's just shouting, swearing and skin show.' My dad would start and go on...
And of course he held his set of prejudices against American songs, although I must agree with him, most of the songs today are nothing but commercial ventures for cacophonous idiots, I would specifically mention Lady Gaga & Daddy Yankee in that list (Bieber is excluded, coz I think he is given few good songs like Never say Never & Baby one just has to think his age to like him). I would rather like to call that Gaga girl Lady Bowbow (no offence).
Right now I am going share some of the best songs from that era, I wasn't even born then, yet I feel nostalgic when I listen to them. You see, that is the magic of good old songs.
Enjoy listening to these great songs, and this is just a vaporized drop from an entire ocean that has the likes of Michael Jackson, George Michael, Madonna etc. Among the tracks listed I have a special thing for November Rain. My novel When Strangers meet.. opens with a line from this very song-
"Coz nothing lasts forever, not even cold november rain"
I started writing the novel after listening to this song by Guns 'n Roses. It was the inspiration for my book. You can know more about the book by well... reading it.
When Strangers meet is now available on Smashwords now for $2.50 and on Kindle for $1.13
