This is arguably Bryan Adams’ most underrated track, and it’s a brilliant track for wedding days. The accompaniment of the musical instruments can take you on a cloud 9 ride, forgetting the world around you as you dance your way with your other half into a new life. One of my...
1990 : Linear – Dream About Me (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
I was heading towards secondary school when Linear released their album – and it had a good number of catchy tunes apart from “Sending All My Love” of course. If I had listened to the album a few years older, I would’ve brushed it off as a kiddie boy band. Well, that...
1978 : Boney M – Brown Girl in the Ring (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
A song whose lyrics do not make any sense, I wonder if it was a direct translation of an old Jamaican children’s ring game cause that’s what it was. This tune was Boney M’s B-Side to “Rivers of Babylon”, and both were excellent tracks outright. I grew up dancing...

This was Roxette’s international breakthrough hit in the US. They were practically unknowns in their home country Sweden but they continued to release catchy tunes after catchy tunes. DOWNLOAD 1989 : Roxette – The Look...

2005 : Ratu – Teman Tapi Mesra (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
I never heard of this band until my better half sang it during our courting time when we hit the karaoke. Then it all became history as I quickly became attached to this song – a very catchy Indonesian track. And it certainly helps that the singers are pretty too. Ole! DOWNLOAD Ratu...
1983: Sheena Easton – Telephone (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
Long distance love affair. Sheena Easton had a handful of memorable tunes but this one broke the American music charts, well, the second one after “For Your Eyes Only”. However, I prefer this song over that slow tune. DOWNLOAD 1983: Sheena Easton – Telephone...
1982 : Four Tops – Back to School (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
I wasn’t a fan of the original Grease movie as I found Travolta a tad too annoying for my liking. I’m probably one of the very few on planet earth who prefer Grease 2 instead. I remember the intro and the movie, with a number of really good songs, including the film opener by Four...
1984 : Alphaville – Forever Young (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
One of the best songs ever written and arguably the best Germany has given the world. This tune pushed Alphaville to achieve stardom status from an album that also gave us “Big in Japan”. I shall share 2 versions for you, the original and the remix for your listening pleasure....
1963 : Chubby Checker – Let’s Limbo Some More (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
I like Chubby Checker’s sequel to “Limbo Rock”, though not as catchy, it’s much more cooler and laidback. This song didn’t fare as well as Limbo Rock for obvious reasons, but it’s one of my favorite from Chubby Checker. DOWNLOAD 1963 : Chubby Checker...
1965 : Four Tops – I Can’t Help Myself (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
This was arguably Four Tops best song, and until this day, has some influence in soundtracks. It’s one hell of a catchy number this sugar pie honey bunch tune. Enjoy. DOWNLOAD 1965 : Four Tops – I Can’t Help Myself...
1990 : Enigma – Sadeness (Part I) Mp3
posted by Gallivanter
I remember being a little intimidated when I heard this song and never liked to listen to it alone as my imagination got the better of me. What a brilliant and memorable smash hit by Enigma, though personally, I prefer “Return to Innocence”. The beat and the melody is so haunting...
