View Full Version : Desert Island Discs
This could have gone in several forums, but it's not just music so I put it here.......anyway......
On BBC radio in the UK we have a show called Desert Island Discs, where celebrities say what they would take with them to a desert island. So I wondered what everyone here would choose. You have to choose 8 songs, but only one per artist I think (otherwise it would be another Shania favourite song list)!!! :rolleyes:
Then you select which one of those songs was most important....
Name one book you would take......
and one luxury item!!!
So what would you all pick?
Paul:)
1. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Abba - The Winner Takes It All
3. Shania Twain - From This Moment On
4. Liverpool FC - The Anfield Rap :cool:
5. The Corrs - Breathless
6. Pavarotti (Puccini) - Nessun Dorma
7. Stevie Wonder - Do I do
8. Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
ONE song - Bohemian Rhapsody (Don't be mad!) Shania still has time to do even better songs than Bo Rap!
Book - World Atlas!
Luxury Item - A Football
