Day 247: Jump, Van Halen
Another very famous rock classic. Even after so many days of Covid Island Discs there are still classics to find on Youtube.

Covid Island Discs
Day 246: Eye of the Tiger, Survivor
Ok so this song brings back lots of teenage memories for me. I remember going on a youth camp when I was about 16 and one night we had a video night where we watched all the Rocky movies back to back. This song always reminds me of that camp which was so much fun.

Day 245: California Dreamin, Mama & The Papas
Time for another timeless famous song from the past. What year you ask. I thought this song would have been early 60s but in fact it was released in 1970 when I was the tender age of 4.

Day 244: The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel
Someone recently quoted these lines from this song: “Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest.” It was in reference to the strange phenomenon of those who hear and witness Trump’s outrageous behaviour and still want him to be their leader.

Day 243: Mandy, Barry Manilow

Day 240: So Young, The Corrs
I was young when this song was first released. Not so now! It would also be dishonest of me not to note that the women who make up this group I think are some of the most beautiful in the world. I remember a comedian once saying: you know, I was talking to Jimmy Corr

Day 239: Peggy Sue, Buddy Holly and the Crickets
“The day before the music died!” We go all the way back to 1957 for this classic. Holly of course would influence lots of 60s rock and roll including the Beatles

Day 238: Won’t Get Fooled Again, The Who
Hope this sentiment holds for the USA and that they are never fooled again by a charlatan like Trump. For that matter, I also hope that our Trump-like prime minister’s time is also short and we can finally rid ourselves of our aberrant nationalistic hard right wing Conservative Party.
