I like this a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpiaYwuPAs0 then a nice glass of wine and it has been a good day in the shop

Warning, the above link is to 'Top 10 Opera Songs' which judging by most contributor's selections might not be very welcome

Before cutting older Eurovision listeners will check 'Are you sure' - Allison Brothers

Little known 'To a Wild Rose' - Edward Mcdowell must lead to some other loco oriented ones like 'Juliet' - The Four Pennies

Not at all. Everyone loves Car Men.

Then there is the Christmas favorite "ARC The Herald Angels Sing"

Also "My Grinding Mill" by John Lee Hooker

and "Hard Times in the Mill" by Pete Seeger

Ah yes, purveyors of 'All things bright and beautiful'

Anything by Tools Holland

Don't Fear the Reamer - Blue Oyster Cult

Run for Hone - Lindisfarne

How Long - Ace

Also from G&C., from the Mikado.... " Now here's a how-de-do " . Probably to be sung after a major parting-off dig-in.
