As the saying goes!! I was just driving to pick Ollie up from school and 'the' song comes on Steve Wright which I dread hearing...........Spirit in the Sky by Dr and the Medics. Within seconds I am blubbing and have to pull over!!
Story behind this!
When we were 13, one of our school friends, Justine fell off her horse and hit her head. Went into a coma and took months to leave us. Now at 13 that is pretty horrific (mind you horrific at any age!!). So our head of year Mrs Joyce says, to get us all back together and to say, well you know, we'll have a big school disco.
So we all went into the hall and she had decorated it all out for us and it was fab. Then the dj puts that bloody song on! Now anyone who has listened to the words will know what a bombshell this would have been! We spent hours just crying and hugging each other - which in hindsight was a good thing cos we all 'let it out'.
But 21 years later (bloody hell 21 years!) that song still affects me soooooooooo much! My school friend got married 5 years ago and half way through the night the dj put this on and was told very quickly to get that flipping (;o)) song off!
SO that has got me thinking and woo hoo here comes a challenge blog friends!
What is the song which affects you most? Good or bad?
Don't feel you have to share why - but I would love to know your song.......
Consider yourself tagged;o) Tell me when you answer!

Hi Lisa , I don't have a Blog so I will answer your challenge here!
Bad song: "Stay another day" by East17, came out the xmas my aunt died, she was in a coma for a while and this song was on at the time - downside is it is classed as an Xmas song it it gets played every year and usually in the places I least expect it - always makes me cry.
Good Song: "Your Song" Ewan Mcgregor/Elton John. First dance at my wedding and the line "yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen" went through my head the first time I looked at Will after he was born. So there you are!
Lisa, there are just too many songs and bits of music that take me back to happy and sad moments.
Most of them I'm ready for iykwim, but occasionally I get taken by surprise - this happens more since my lovely dad died - he was a musician and sometimes I hear a piece of music he played, or maybe just the sound of the instrument he played, or something he used to sing and I'm blubbing like a baby
Lise - i've answered on my blog hun xxfetfbdw
