Since Hardiman the Fiddler included me as one of the "ould" board members, this list will undoubtedly underscore that "ould"-ness.

1.   First song: Really can't recall (sure sign of age).  Maybe "Up Around the Bend" – Creedence Clearwater Revival (Cosmo's Factory) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T5ZMQ_ZVCQ 

2.   Dancing: "Virginia Plain" – Roxy Music  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GMpSxjFPbI

3.   Childhood: "Sorry" – Royal Showband Waterford  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGXHyt38sj0

4.   Love Song: : "I Can't Stop Loving You" – Van Morrison  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGA7Z06R3Fs

5.   Funeral: "An Chuilfhionn" – Leo Rowsome  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EPTDKT9Gc

6.    Me, Me: "Why" – Devil Doll  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1z-RTx3BC8 or perhaps "Madame George" – Van Morrison  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrOgYjp20j0

Ask me tomorrow, with more time to think, and it'd probably be a different list.

Embrace your ouldness, Big O.

1. First song ever bought? Can't remember. It's probably to do with the ouldness.
2. What song always gets you dancing? Satisfaction.
3. What song always brings you back to your childhood? Not a song, but the earliest I remember is my Dad playing "The Wearing Of The Green" on the fiddle.
4. The perfect love song? I don't recognise the genre. [Edit - I take that back, having seen Captain Obvious's selection below - I Got You Babe]
5. What song would you want played at your funeral? Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.
6. One last song that makes you, you. Something by Dylan. Tonight, it's Love Minus Zero, No Limit.
