Better late than...

radegundI rather like last week's Friday Five, so I'm going to ignore the faint whiff of Pathétique that wafts from the journaller who scampers along behind the rest going "me too! me too!":
1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.
Gene Pitney, "Twenty-four Hours from Tulsa".
2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
Billy Bragg, "There is Power in a Union" (I'm a sucker for polemic). The second one isn't so much the song as the context: the "Marseillaise" scene from Casablanca - does it every single time.
3. Name three songs that turn you on.
Songs don't, really, but three that come close would be Leonard Cohen, "I Tried to Leave You"; Divine Comedy, "If..."; Sinéad O'Connor, "Mandinka".
4. Name four songs that always make you feel good.
Throwing Muses, "Not Too Soon"; Leonard Cohen, "Dress Rehearsal Rag" (in an example of freakish reverse psychology); Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (largely because it happens to constitute my earliest memory); Pixies, "Debaser".
5. Name five songs you couldn't ever do without.
I could easily use up all five slots with any of these people, but let's go for Pink Floyd, "Comfortably Numb"; Leonard Cohen, "Famous Blue Raincoat"; Morrissey, "Every Day is Like Sunday"; Dire Straits, "Brothers in Arms"; Jacques Brel, "Mathilde".
(My weekend was fab, incidentally. First instalment of the obligatory ramblings attendant thereupon can be found over at my other journal.)
