The theme for Mix-Tape Monday this week is…
A Song That Means Something Special
I actually didn’t know where to start with this one. As I looked through ‘My Top Rated’ playlist on iTunes, each song reminded me of something special. From a dance, to a drive with Hub, to an ex-boyfriend to Vinay.
My first instinct was to use Fly Me To The Moon (Frank Sinatra) as that was our first dance song at our wedding. But I’m sure I’ve mentioned that one several times before!
Then I stumbled upon this one. An old favourite. A classic.
I was only five and we somehow got a copy of the 1984 American Music Awards on video. Does anyone remember it? It’s the one where Michael Jackson won 9 awards? Anyway, my sister and I watched this video over and over and over again. Lionel Richie was presenting and one of our favourite songs at the time was ‘All Night Long’. He sang it during the awards and we watched the video repeatedly.
At our wedding reception, as a surprise (maybe she was just as surprised?), my sister got on stage and sang it!
And here’s a picture of Hub and I dancing to it!
Go on over to Boo and Me and check out the rest of the entries!

I love this song too!
Great, It must have been so special when your sister sang it to you.
Yes, I was just as surprised as you were!
How lovely 🙂 x
That is nice. How lovely of your sister to get up and sing – well I hope she is a good singer.
