FRIDAY MUSIC: Classic Hits of the 50s/60s, by JD
Among the endless repeats on Freeview is “Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads“
and the theme tune has this chorus -
Oh what happened to you?
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people we used to be?
Tomorrow’s almost over, today went by so fast
It’s the only thing to look forward to, the past
The show was originally broadcast in 1973/1974 and in that last line of the chorus was a hint of the beginnings of nostalgia. These two ‘baby boomers’ were looking back at the carefree days of their youth.
Also on Freeview is a channel called “That’s oldies: classic hit music” and playing the music the ‘likely lads’ would have been listening to and dancing to in their younger days. Watching this channel I see very little that could be called ‘classic hit music’ so perhaps I ought to do it for them and play a few of the really memorable tunes from the Fifties and Sixties. There is a lot to choose from and very few of them get shown on Freeview. This might become a series.
