Songs for your first kiss

rebel10

Remember the scene. Teenage discos of the 90's. Your friend goes up to him (visa versa) just after the moshing songs are over. "Will you shift my friend."
Then comes the slow songs.
My first kiss song was "Snow is falling" by Shaking Stevens. Although i do also remember Celine Dion "It's all coming back to me" (ironically enough) too, but can't remember if this was the same night or a follow up night!

What was the song for your first kiss in a teenage disco?

Was too busy with the shift to even pay any attention.

Although if it had to be anything it would be have most ironic if it was this:

Baltimora - Tarzan boy

Up-n-atom!

It was Killing Me Softly by The Fugees, to the best of my memory. God, the kiss was awful though, with some random young fella. My friends basically pushed me onto him as soon as his friend asked.

There was always a couple of young fellas going around at any disco, the friend asking every single girl in the place if she'd 'shift' him, and every girl saying 'no'. One way to grow a thick skin anyways! I wonder did those lads ever get to score...you almost would coz you'd feel so sorry for them...I wonder are the youngsters still at that now:pac:

I'm feeling really bad for all of you who didn't get to go to the teenage discos. You missed out on so many things like:
Trying to chew as many wrigleys juicey fruits as you could to take away the stink of the potion you had drank straight from your parents drinks cabinet.
Thinking you were being ultra sexy cause you let your hair down from the scrunchie.
Having the local priest oversee the whole of the night, looking back, i'm a bit disturbed.
Noone considering you a slag if you kissed 3 guys in a row.
The girls who always "went outside" with their shift
"Smells like teen spirit" and "Creep" being played right before "Killing me softly" so the boys were sweating all over you.
Waiting for weeks before the disco, discussing who you were going to ask, and fighting with friends about who got to kiss who.

Oh the memories. Thank God we grew up!

oh no, I loved it,especially the membership free pitchers of beer on your birthday in the bull and bear and free passes for your friends.

Never saw any fights, certainly the years I was going, just wasn't that type of crowd, stopped going when it changed name to Deep.

Was the bar attached to Hollywood nights, well you had the bar, then the hotel in the middle and the club to the right, you could never enter the club from the hotel/bar area, always had to go outside and enter that way.

vague recollection ...

but think I mainly headed up there after drinking in Dun Laoghaire or town..

I do remember always waiting ages for coats and then another ages for taxis..

At what point between the eighties and the nineties did the lads start sending their wing men over to lure the girls? In the eighties it was was so much more straight forward. The guys spotted a girl they liked and they asked her to dance for the slow set - by themselves!
What happened to the slow set even? Do the lads even walk the girl home any more? Its all way to complex now for the yung uns.Three kisses in a night / why?

Well my ideal song would have been Prince Purple Rain, and I'd love to post a video except the little purple midget has blocked all of his music from youtube :rolleyes:

But in reality it was actually that song by the 4 Non Blondes, and yes she was a blonde

BickNarry

This was the choon of the day. Going to the Jean Scene the day of the disco trying to find the best clothes while pretending you don't give a ****.......and picking out the same awful patterened shirt & cheap looking jeans combo. Leavin your shirt open for the ladies pleasure and cleaning your air max before hand. To be 13 again......

You forgot M club in Temple Bar in the 90's... dry ice and middle aged men with paunches... it was the last ring of hell.

I would have been just shy of a teenager, but Crazy for You - Madonna. I'd no say in the matter, dragged onto the dance floor of a disco in Mosney (when people used to go there on holidays).

Then I was told I would be her girlfriend when we got back home, think it lasted around a week before I decided football with the lads was much better than cycling up to her's.. Slow starter me.

Well, from my experience, by 1994, when i started going, the boys definately had their wingmen, as did the girls. They had the slow sets, these were almost always Fugees "Killing me softly", some Celine Dion no., Toni Braxton "Unbreak my heart" and generally finished with "Son of a preacher man" ala "Pulp Fiction" which was out around that time.

The most awkward part of being asked by someone, was when they turned out to be a neighbour or a son of one of your moms friends. What could you do?! I just always said i was going out with a guy from Irish college or something, though i had never been, just to get out of it. But then 5 mins later, I was off kissing some other boy. Hussy:p
