Driving home this evening I heard on the car radio Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown" and I got wonderful chills all over.
About a month ago I heard this song again while driving to TO. I had forgot how much I loved it and how it always put me in a good mood. I’ve added it to my regular playlist so I won’t forget about it again and will hear it often.
Banana Republic by the Boom Town Rats. The Skid Kids at the Community park in Parkville were playing it the other day and it really surprized me because it is not the usual type of music they listen to. Cheers and happy weekend!
Far too many to name. I was busy doing other things yesterday when I first read your question, I told myself I would get back to it later to answer. Just now today as I was about to answer, I’m listening to iHeart Radio, which I have set to play my saved favorites, the vast majority of which are from the 1980s top 100, but also as far back as the 1960s, 1970s, and some in the 1990s, but all across various genres and sub-genres. As such, more and more songs that fit your question have unexpectedly played, causing a dilemma for me as to which “last one” I should put. There are literally thousands in my playlists, and dozens of them I do not hear very often in a year’s time. Every time another gem pops up, I want it to be my singular answer, but that dismisses another equally beloved song. That’s why I’m responding with a LONG list of them.

Lol. Now that you mention it, I can see how it would or could sound that way. I don’t think I had ever heard of Vegemite before the song came out.

Lol. I like a lot of their songs. As for the Vegemite reference, I had not yet been to Australia when the song first came out, so I had no direct knowledge of Vegemite. When I finally went to Australia and tasted the stuff was when my aversion to it took immediate hold. It did not, however, change the song for me.
