Following on from another thread in the chat section - Does a dance floor equal a great night, it got me thinking about tunes we play that we think NOBODY else plays, the ones we dig out, dust them down give them a long overdue airing. The tunes you think make you that little bit different.

I would bet we probably all play them. Bearing in mind the variety of gigs we do, pubs, clubs, weddings, birthdays etc. Most of my gigs are in pubs.

So here's my three tunes I play that nobody else does...... head above parapet.

1. Step on - Happy Mondays

2. Back of my hand - Jags

3. Echo beach - Martha and the Muffins



Do YOU play those?

What's your three?

I play step on ! in a set with stereo mcs !
my 3 ? klf - 3am eternal, delirium - silence, rage against the machine- killing in the name.
mind you bet others play em too.

C S - that's my point, others do play them KLF, I play, the others no.

Timelords - Doctor In The Tardis

Nu Shooz - I Cant Wait

High Gloss - You'll Never Know

Only three?

All That She Wants - Ace of Base
Go West - Pet Shop Boys
Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight - REM

or it could be these three:

What Is Love - Haddaway
Mr Vain - Culture Beat
Good As Gold (Stupid as Mud) - The Beautiful South

or perhaps these:
Doop - Doop
Parklife - Blur
Trouble - Shampoo

I sometimes finish with some unusual ones.

KLF: last train to trancentral....at the right gig this goes doen a storm
pet shop boys : go west


Delirium - silence and echo beach I play as often as I can as I luv the tunes.

Piranahs - Tom Hawk

O'Jays - Love Train

Ken Dodd - Happiness

The extended 12 inch mix is outstanding !

I often play Crazy Elephant - Gimme Gimme Good lovin, never heard it played by anyone else since the seventies. Works well with Creedence.
Another one I like to play is Tami Lynn - I'm gonna run away with you. and Felice Taylor - I feel love coming on. All these tracks take me back to the fairgrounds when I was a young lad, and they still work with the right crowd.

My 3, there are more, but as requested I'll just pick 3.

Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From
Lutricia McNeal - Nine Times Out Of Ten
ELO - Hold On Tight

Doing my Request Fest nights means that I play a lot of stuff that gets dusted off or pops up from the dark depths of peoples memories...

Now and then I will chuck in the odd tune that I haven't played for ages.

R Dean Taylor - There's a ghost in my house
Tubeway Army - Are 'friends' electric?
The Specials - Nite Klub

I played both of these on Saturday
Nu Shooz - I Cant Wait
High Gloss - You'll Never Know

My 3:
Saturday Night Sunday Morning - Thelma Houston
Test of Time - Will Downing
Hot Butterfly - Bionic Boogie

I'll go with a Rock theme:

The Who - Won't get fooled again

Snow Patrol - Run

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

The O'Jays & Delerium also feature quite often in my sets but I'll try a few of the others this week as well so keep them coming .....................

Mondays, Jags & Martha. Played all 3 at an 18th only a couple of weeks ago. Classic tunes!

My 3 would be:

Roy Orbison - Penny Arcade
Patsy Gallant - From New York to L.A.
Whigfield - Sexy Eyes.

Mine would be all time classic slowies

1/ The Late Late Show-Tina Charles and 5,000 volts
2/Air Supply-Two Less Lonely People In The World
3/Sarah-Starship

Ok and a couple more:)

1/ Edwin Starr-Stop Her On Sight
2/ Candy and the Kisses-The 81
3/Father's Angels Bok To Bach

Pure Class...... Aka The Legendary late Mr Luther Vandross
(Even though its credited to Greg Diamond & Bionic Boogie !)

Yup orig released on Polydor Records, I have the orig single and lp:)

Kenny Rodgers - The Gambler
Divinyls - I touch myself
Dire Straights - Walk of life

You have to listen to these songs Brilliant!!!

I'll say a big YEP to that'n
Can't be bothered to pick my way through the rest of the thread = lazy git!

But a little aside,
how many times have I seen it argued in here that "we are professional DJ's because we weigh up the audience and play the right music for them"
Yet, here we have guys queueing up to tell us what they play "because I just love it"

[leaves stirrer in the pot and exits from the side door]

If your in the line of hermes house band.
Try dj otzi vs h.h.b. - live is life
seems to be a popular one.

the three i play that i know for sure nobody ever plays are:

Love shack
Thankyou for the music remix
Girls just wanna

YEAH RIGHT!
