"The song I do at karaoke I don't like karaoke, but if I'd had a few vodkas, I'd go for My Way by Frank Sinatra and absolutely smash it. I love the lyrics: Regrets, I've had a few / But then again, too few to mention. You know it's going to be a crowd pleaser. I like the Robbie Williams version as well."
"Whenever I have people around, I'll put on some Motown. It takes me back to family parties where my nan and mum would be dancing. Can't Help Myself by the Four Tops is a great feeling of coming together. If you were wanting to feng shui the air in a room, a bar or a club, Motown makes you feel good."
"The song that changed my life Get It On by T Rex has got that perfect mix of glam, lad and camp. There's just something about the way Marc Bolan performs, and sings the sexiness of it. It makes you want to move, but the way he sings is so muted and understated. It's still the most badass rock'n'roll tune ever."
Karaoke choice is 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra, performed after a few vodkas, favored for its crowd-pleasing lyrics. Motown is the go-to party music, evoking family gatherings and communal dancing, with 'Can't Help Myself' singled out. 'The Drugs Don't Work' by the Verve produces deep emotional resonance despite dark lyrics. 'Get It On' by T. Rex provided a life-changing blend of glam, lad, and camp delivered with muted, sexy vocals. First single purchased was 'No Limit' by 2 Unlimited on cassette. Afroman's 'Because I Got High' registers as a secret guilty pleasure. Richard Hawley's 'For Your Lover, Give Some Time' triggers tears during breakups.
