Oi! Talk about putting the challenge in this 10-Day Challenge... just TWO songs, seriously?
Right, rather than break into a cold sweat, thrown in the towel and demonstrate a host of other figures of speech associated with quittin' I'm going to give this a go. To have any chance of success I'm going to have to divide it into two categories – pre and post 2000.
1983 – 1999
"Eternal Flame" The Bangles
Not the über awful Atomic Kittens cover, the original 80s 'classic' that my sister and I made my dad listen to over and over and over again in the car while we perfected every off-key screech, wail and high (long, very, long) note. Why this song of all the songs that have passed through my life? Two words. My sister. It's a song synonymous with good memories, just pipping Roxette's Gotta get dressed for success at the post.
2000 – present
"Disappear without a trace" The Parlotones
This is not because I felt pressure to get all proudly South African or had a lack of options or am drawing a blank. Trust me, there's a long list of indie and brit pop/rock tracks begging to make this post. Alas! I must choose the song that hubby and I selected as our first dance song at our wedding back in 2008. As the title may seem a little un-wedding-ee, if you're wondering why we chose it, have a listen here
