Songs for your first kiss

Wouldn't associate it with first kiss exactly but this tune comes to mind when I think back to teenage discos circa 2004.. not sure if it's the exact mix..

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.

At the time there was:

Peekers

Hollywood Nights

Ziggys

Blinkers

Jesters

Scruples

probably all tacky in hindsight..
but at the time they all had their moments..

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.

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 · 06-02-2011 01:19AM

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

I actually do remember the first kiss to a song in a teenage disco. It was to 'How You Remind Me' by Nickelback. Like the kiss...I thought it was great at the time but, in hindsight, it was a bit of a disaster that I cringe at.

I was too busy shiftin' like a washing machine to remember what song was playing.

It was a roller disco (!) and the song was Stepping Out by Joe Jackson (fantastic song). There was a taste of cigarettes off his breath (the 15 year old boy I kissed, not Joe Jackson) and I loved it. I thought 'oooh what a man!'.

Later that day a spoilt little f*cker pushed me full force into the 1 foot high steel barrier that enclosed the skating floor and I cracked my shin bone. Ah but that kiss.................

The song.....

btw, anyone who disses that song has no heart.

Careless Whisper - great one for first snog.

Who'd a thunkit at the time, George Michael a gaybo?
Sure jasus - we didn't even know Freddie Mercury was a benny until after he died.

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?

I don't remember my first kiss (those discos were awful the old underage drinking) but the first kiss I actually cared about was during 'Dancing In The Dark' by DJ Mickey Modelle.
