Favourite Things Friday


This week I'm sharing my favourite song of all time. It has endured as my favourite for over thirty years.  Did you ever have one of those summers that you remember as THE summer of your life? Every time I hear this song it always reminds me of THAT summer, THE best summer ever. Great weather, lazy summer days with friends, water skiing, camping, partying, not a care in the world, the joy of youth,  when anything was possible.


If it doesn't play straight away click on Watch On YouTube and it will take you to YouTube to play it.





Linking up as usual to my wonderful terrific lovely friend (Shay!!! and you thought I wouldn't type that!)

  1. I love this song!! Although OBVIOUSLY I am waaay too young to do so. When I watch this I wonder why he had to mess that lovely, happy face of his. He should've just stopped there.

  7. Ohhh so many memories. I was seriously in love with Michael Jackson in the very early 1980's. Musically that man could do no wrong.This song had me bopping in my chair.

    Anything 80's brings back wonderful memories of my wayward youth. Especially all the new romantics..Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran ...Im really showing my age now.

  8. Can't wait to watch it. Unfortunately, I share the office and cannot listen now. Isn't cool how a song can take you back to a place in time?

  14. 8th year school disco.. that's what that song reminds me of. The best summer of my life was when I was 21/22... lazing on the beach and partying a little too hard it was also when I met my hubby.
