I had been going out with a girl who after a while I wanted to dump but didn't really know how to tell her. As things turned out we were at a dance in Oxford one Saturday night when on came Roy Orbison's great song 'It's Over'. I looked at her and said hear that, she said what? I said that's the way it is and walked away. I never saw her again, but then I met my dear Anna!! What's your song and memory?

Good thread Ron! At least you were brave enough to say it to her face. I think that should be another thread - great ways you broke up with people - I could add lots to that thread!

 Songs and memories go hand in hand for me - I love lyrics to songs and can remember them word for word - shame I can't sing!

  They played Elvis Hawaiian Wedding song for us after we got married in Oahu, Hawaii. That is a great memory.

 I once sent "Live you Life Be Free" Belinda Carlisle through the post to a guy who was a friend in a very unhappy relationship. He ended up marrying her later though - and is still unhappy I hear!!!

 I hate "With or Without You"  as my ex husband Stephen played it over and over again when we split up!

I just arrived in the UK, headed for RAF Greenham Common. The base billeting office put me up at the Queens Hotel in downtown Newbury. I arrived there after lunch an before evening hours.

I went to my room for a kip and when I woke up it was dinner time. I walked downstairs and the pub was mobbed and the song that was playing...Cinderella Rockafella. I thought, geez, what a horrible song.

I remember that one Bob. Gosh! That must have been back in the 70's. Ester and Abi Ofarim sang it.
