All night long

On the flight back to Brunei from Bali couple of weeks ago... The SkyShow inflight entertainment system onboard Royal Brunei Airlines, had the self titled Michael Parkinson show on. I was planning to sleep on the flight as I was really knackered. But when I saw the guests list on the show I thought it was a good funny crowd, so I decided to stay up and watch. Lionel Ritchie was one of them and he was going to sing. (yeah old fashion! I know!) Liza Minelli came up first talking about cerita lama and shes touring and stuff and then Sharon Osborne talking about stuff i.e. her surgery untuk menguruskan badan. OMG she was hilarious. And mulutnya laser! And then.. Lionel Richie... belting his new number. Inda plang ku brapa suka... Anyway.. dalamnya becerita pasal his old songs and how successful 'All night long' was, he also said that song reminded a lot of people and many of them considered it as 'their' song. And whenever they listen to it, it reminds them of 'that' moment intime when they heard the song first and what memory the song reminds them of. In my case pun whenever I listen to 'All night long', it reminds of the time back in the 80s on one of my trips toSingapore. I still remember it listening to it over and over again on the evening flight back to Brunei fromSingapore. I'm guessing it was flight BI430. I was listening to it on the walkman. No MP3 or discman then. Walkman was the rave then hehe I actually didnt buy the cassette myself. Gosh cassettes just sounds so ancientdoesnt it. It either belonged to Auntie Nans or Nims whom have brought it from London. The reason for the Singapore trip was to welcome back my two aunts from their studies in the UK during their winter hols. At that time, RBA had no direct flight to London yet i dont think. So it was that return trip to Brunei what 'All night long' reminds me of.
So what memory comes into your mind when u listen to All night long? Or any other song for that matter
