The Perfect Year – Dina Carroll
This is from the musical version of ‘Sunset Boulevard’. It’s a fantastic song sung by a fantastic singer.
– Twiglet
Cowshit?! I hope that’s not referencing the music I’ve posted! (my name being Moo). It’s not very nice to insult other people’s taste in music.
Here’s a northern soul sounding song you might like:
Here Comes My Baby by the Tremeloes
Gorton & Denton by-election result:
52% – Didn’t vote because they sub-consciously know that changing clowns won’t end the circus.
20% – Green
14% – Reform UK
12% – Labour
2% – Others
I’d love to know how many people wrote: ‘World Socialism’ on their ballots.
Won’t get Fooled Again – the Who
The Who’s iconic anthem from 1971’s Who’s Next album, performed here on B-Stage at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978 Filmed by Jeff Stein for the closing sequence of The Kids Are Alright. Sadly, this was to be the very last performance ever by Keith Moon.
Thanks go to D.A. for helping me decide which song to post next in Underplayed Classics, via his article in the February 2026 Socialist Standard.
Best lyric: “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss”
Relatively recently, there was a news-story about a man who died from his injuries after falling from a lamp-post while attempting to put an English flag at the top of it.
Nationalism kills.
Here’s some clarification on labelled generations (two of which are mentioned in the article):
– The Greatest Generation (born in the 1920’s & ’30’s)
– Baby Boomers (’40’s & ’50’s)
– Generation X (’60’s & ’70’s)
– Millennials (’80’s & ’90’s)
– Generation Z, also known as: Zoomers (2000’s & ’10’s)
– Generation Alpha (2020’s & ’30’s)
IMO, there’s no such thing as labelled generations. Think of it: the very oldest Millennials were in their early 20’s when 9/11 happened, whereas, the very youngest were infants.
Venus as a Boy – Bjork
Big Time Sensuality – Bjork (Top of the Pops performance)
Bjork is proof you can be cute and scary at the same time.

Here’s a great Christmas-related article that’s missing from your list:
The Waiting Game by Clifford Slapper
https://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-waiting-game-1985.htmlLooks fascinating.
Your wait is over: the book is for sale at AwesomeBooks for a much lower price.
Thank you, Pauline (although, you probably don’t remember why because it was so long ago).
Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon
Apparently, the first lyric of this song was voted the best opening lyric in music history. Here it is:
“I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Soho in the rain. He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook’s. Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.”
