Never sang Karaoke.
No dancing at my wedding.
Song I never get tired of: Jessie Collin Young, Smile At Your Brother, or any Dave Clark 5, or Chad and Jeremy.

Thanks for sharing your favorite songs. I forgot about Here Comes the Sun---I LOVE that one too! Never heard Eve of Destruction---or perhaps I just didn't know the title of the song.
