songs [especially modern ones] don't raise memories for me
but should i need a holiday song then it should be either
"Little old wine drinker me" or "busy doing " because both fit admirably with my holiday style :rofl

My favourites are (especially if I'm singing them on karaoke) are Simply the best, Flash dance, and Hopelessly devoted to you. If it's just for a dance, anything that I can smooch too with hubby!!! :D

the song that brings back the funniest holiday memories for me is Roy Orbison's "Penny Arcade". It was the night of hubby's birthday and our first night on hols in La Cirrahuels, Costa del sol this Easter. We were all enjoying a few bevies, non more so than hubby who was on the pernod. To say we were the entertainment that night is no exaggeration. The entertainment duo had us all marching around the bar with drums, tamborines, trumpets, recorders etc etc. It was hilarious and a night not to be forgotten.

Lauryn Hill - Ex Factor - reminds me of chilling on Negril beach in Jamaica with my ipod - bliss :sun2

One more chance - James Morrison - heard it in a bar in Calangute in Goa and loved it immediately, now it always reminds me of Goa - love it :tup

Saturday Night - Wigfield - takes me back to the 90's and great times in Ayia Napa - Cyprus :cheers

Zorba the Greek this year. Our hotel was close to a jetty and everytime one of the boats came back from it's excursion it played this while people disembarked. It was a novelty at first but two times a day got a bit tediuos after the holiday. Few days after we returned, Mick came home form work and asked me to ring his mobile to check where it was...........................DaDing........DaDing........DaDaDaDaDiiiing.!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaagh! :rofl

jackie15,

I've probably got the same tape by Tarkan. The only kiss kiss song is by Tarkan. Long hot days and nights in Turkey. Not that one by Holly Valance!! :duh
I listen to my tape every time I do the ironing.

I got engaged on Christmas day a couple of years ago in Benidorm at the Terralta. I asked the DJ to play "All I want for Christmas is You" he said he hadn't heard of it!!!!!!! but later on he said he had found something and hoped it was the right record. He then proceeded to play "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" :D I don't know whether it counts as a holiday song?

Kiss Kiss for me too .reminds of our first visit to Turkey many years ago when the staff used to dance to it standing on the Pool bar at the Asena beach. Day and night they were always on that bar . In the evening the guests would join them too. dont hear it so much nowadays . It has to be the original Tarken track though . I still liked the holly valance version but it has to be the real thing in Turkey :tup So many dance tracks that have always been played around the pool ."pump it up" was another one .

and another . bob sinclar - rock this party . Turkey memories gain of the Belcekiz beach club
