You're alone on a desert island for eternity, you have a CD player so you can listen to ONE song.
which one?
-
Bohemian rapsody , cuz its great...and long ;D
-
What a terrible prospect! Not being stranded on a desert island, but only having 1 song to listen to!
If it was one piece of music I'd probably go for Elgar's Cello Concerto. If it was a song then possibly Meet On The Ledge by Fairport Convention. But ask me again tomorrow and I'll have changed my mind.
-
The live version of American Woman by the Guess who. Its 20 minutes long and has lots of variety in the different sections. Could also double as a drinks coaster when I dont feel like listening to music and could be hung from a piece of string from a palm tree to act as a bird scarer.
I am also wondering about its attributes as a frisbee hmmm.
-
a victory of love ;D
from Alphaville ::)
-
never mind, ok
what cd, only one song, would you take with you?
-
What a terrible, awful question! :o
That would just kill you. The same song every day, no matter how long and varied and how much you like it. It would surely end in madness. :P
Can I swap my cd for Chunky Kit Kat vending machine?
-
Stairway to Heaven.. possibly ???
-
Oh no Schauv, could you really eat the same chocolate day after day for the rest of your life? I will play my iPod mostly and just pay the cd on the odd occasion most likely. But I will have a lot of vending machines and an ice maker for gin and tonics. This island is starting to appeal more and more, I just hope and pray the sea air doesn't effect my mixing desk.
-
It would ruin your love of the song to take it with you and listen to it over and over again - torture! Maybe some classical music though that might be nice - a nice long piece of classical music that you could dip into it - that would do it perhaps. Maybe I'm looking into this too much though - perhaps it's more about what your favourite song of all time is ;D
Answer:
I haven't got a clue! It would definitely be a ballad though I think ::)
-

I was going to say the same thing! Or The Chain - Fleetwood Mac. Or Gold Dust Woman.
Aargh, this is too hard!
-
"Oh no Schauv, could you really eat the same chocolate day after day for the rest of your life?" - I have so far ;D haha
But i'd like to swap the machine for a Galaxy milk chocolate machine that magically keeps the chocolate at refrigerated temperature and also magically refills itself whilst at the same time also dispensing a nice cup of tea so that you can melt the chocolate in your mouth.
Yep that's do ;D

is this sort of like im a songwriter get me out of here so we are being filmed & voted for?
becos that would influence what i took with me.....id want to win!
-
Anything by Ed Sheeran will do just fine.
-
Yes but would you eat kangaroo b*ll*cks? lol
How many things can you take into the jungle anyway? Surely it's more than one thing.
I demand to see the ruler of this jungle. One song... pfffft
-
I'd take The Birdie Song
If I am to descend into a loneliness fuelled insanity might as well speed the process along!
-
I kinda surprised myself with the first song that popped in to my head when I saw this thread...
It is "America" by Neil Diamond from the Jazz Singer
This is the first piece of music that "moved me" as a young boy and even to this day just thinking about that string intro brings me out in goose bumps

LOL, You don't have to listen to it all the time, you'll be too busy walking about half naked, learning to catch fish, building a raft and talking to a football ;) :D
I'm struggling to answer this one.. ???
BoRhap is a good choice though...
Does 'War of the Worlds' count as one song as it doesn't have gaps between songs? :D
-
ok im going to write one song to take with me ive decided
it will be very long & the lyrics will have all bear grylls survival tips & the voices of my 3 boys & hubbie in to keep me going......there ...beat that! ;D
-
"LOL, You don't have to listen to it all the time, you'll be too busy walking about half naked"
Now you're talking, will there be beautiful naked native women also walking around? Then I'm in... F*ck
the song!
I'd like to swap my item/song for a magnifying glass please.
They always use a magnifying glass in films to impress the natives. Me make fire. Me king. Now come here woman :)
-
SCHAV - so you want to walk around half naked and need a magnifying glass ::)
Just sayin' ;D :D :P ;)

Well there's an idea for a competition!!! ;D
Home made desert island disc :)
Hmmm..
-
yeah, that is a cool, perhaps completely stupid, but still brilliant idea
for a competition on this beautiful forum
and the songs are allowed to be longgggggggg, with many variations...i hope
-
Hahaha Boydie!
"Me make fire. Me king. Now come here woman and I'll show you something really impressive, if you just look closely through this... no closer!"
-
Probably either Bohemian Rhapsody or Kashmir... they're both long and proof of their respective writer's musical genius.
Actually, can I swap that one song for my guitar to bring to the island? ;D
