Every week, we give away a voucher worth twenty five euros to trade for vinyl, CD or ‘merch’ from any of the many Golden Discs across the country.
All we ask from you is a tune we can play next week.
This week’s theme: Slow set!
You’ve mustered up the courage to ask them to dance.
Now, what sentimental ballad would you like played as you take the floor?
You will need a song that contains enough melodic poignancy, emotion and cheese to transcend the awkward, intimate shuffling that may ensue… while offering little nourishment to the true music lover.
To enter, complete this sentence.

When’s I sway closely with a special friend at a ‘dance’, I like to do so to the strains of Laura Brannigan’s Silent Partners owing to its part in the Sound Track of my life,
well my head anyway.
In fact that entire Album Self Control could be my biography
And Laura Brannigan was my 80s idol. ( Well her and Belinda Carlisle)
Had the hair
Had the shoulder pads
Had the leather pants
I was massive
Despite the brutal era that decade was we still made the most of it
Btw. Tis a clinger
we have to watch our whispers
so as not to give ourselves away ……….

@Frilly: respect in re La Brannigan.
‘When I sway closely with a special friend at a ‘dance’, I like to do so to the strains of I Kill Children by the Dead Kennedys owing to its glorification of legal and illegal abortion both of which I firmly believe in’
That’s a right knicker-drencher: you should win.

Sure what is a slow-set without a semi?
correct:)
when i sway closely with someone at a ‘dance’ it has to be “she” by elvis costello. If you dont get peck or a bag of chips on the way home after that, you either have bad b.o. or halitosis
Aznavour, seulement.
When I sway closely with a special friend at a ‘dance’, I like to do so to the strains of Roxy Music’s ‘Love is the Drug’ owing to its lyrics, “Late that night I parked my car, Staked my place in the singles bar, Face to face, toe to toe, Heart to heart as we hit the floor” and hoping to, “Lumbered up limbo down, The locked embrace, stumble round, I say go, she says yes, Dim the lights you can guess the rest” but then get a slap on the face for my ’70s sleazy Bryan Ferry (esque) presumption.
That’s as much a slow set as Baggy Trousers is :)
You mean I’ve been doing it wrong all these years?
I’m no Len Goodman but yeah :)
When I sway closely with a special friend at a ‘dance’, I like to do so to the strains of Amar Pelos Dois owing to its timeless nature and modern appeal that never fails to bring a tear to my eye remembering past love and warmth to my heart thinking about love yet to come.

Did ya see the Angeles, did ya….. what a cringe fest… :0p’
I couldn’t take the excitement
so I reorganised another cupboard
running out of cupboards
Loving the new pair of RTÉ tv news propaganda women make a welcome change from the Dobbo of old
Ami you need to go for a walk
it’s worse you’re getting
Ami is a breath of fresh air on this thing
if yous are all not riding each other you’re atin each other out of it
Love, hate, fine line, tequila.
Don’t hold back…. :)
Why do I get the impression ami’s comment had some surgery done on it?
Hah! for sure :)
They savaged it anyone !

When I sway closely with a special friend at a “dance” , I like to do so to the strains of LL Cool J’s “I Need Love” owing to its killer line “You can scratch my back, we’ll get cosy and huddle, I’ll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle”. Chivalry lives!!
What kinda puddle ?
A puddle of luuuuurve
You, my friend, have what I like to call the RIGHT attitude.
At least no one picked Ladyee in Red. Small mercies.

it’s a night for story tellin
A young lad called Shaun.
His parents had what we like to call ‘notions’ and he broke my heart after a tumultuous three weeks of stolen kisses and embarrassed hand-holding.
A girl named Nicole.
She had long red hair and the first time I saw her she had two black Labradors walking either side of her and she looked like some kind of Gaelic queen.
I was instantly smitten, I was only a kid but I fell fast and hard for her.
Long story short – she left me for a fella who had the streaks in his hair and then had a baby at 15.
Still smile thinking about the first time I saw her, cliched as that may sound.
‘When I sway closely with a special friend at a ‘dance’, I like to do so to the strains of Je t’aime… moi non plus owing to its pure undulating intention!’
