God Save the King makes me sick': Bobby Gillespie's honest playlist
Briefly

The song I can no longer listen to is 'God Save the King.' It was written to celebrate the Duke of Cumberland crushing Bonnie Prince Charlie, which led to the Highland clearances. It makes me sick.
The best song to play at a party is 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' by Gladys Knight & the Pips. The Gladys version is really fast and funky, so good for early on in the night.
The song I inexplicably know every lyric to is 'The Boys Are Back in Town' by Thin Lizzy. The lyrics you know best are from the albums and singles you bought as a teenager.
I secretly love 'We Don't Talk Anymore' by Cliff Richard. There is no pleasure for the guilty, but I think Primal Scream could do a great cover version of it.
