TDYER63 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Brilliant memories of Sunday afternoon in The Watersplash in Jersey when i lived there in the mid 80’s. It was a kinda surfers pub right on the beach, the place was always heaving and when Paradise By the Dashboard Light came on it went totally mental. Everyone on the tables belting it out. Always think of that place when I hear it. He had some great tunes. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every week I'd swear I was leaving before the karaoke started and every week (more or less) I was there till closing! And every week someone would sing "Paradise...." on the karaoke and like above the place would crazy. Happy times! I'd imagine it'll be getting belted out at karaokes up and down the country tonight. I'm almost tempte to try and fine one..... Edited January 21, 2022 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially interpreted ‘the same pub’ as being the same pub as me, and I was thinking, not only did Fairbairn live 3 miles from my current house, he was in Jersey for 10 years . How the hell do I not know him ! 😁 Yes, yes I know you are much younger than me …… Go on, its a Friday night, get out there ! Do it for Meatloaf 🎤🎸🍻 I am in the West End tonight, no chance of any Meatloaf being played there ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could name a couple of places that you’d easily get Meatloaf & karaoke. I doubt they’re the type of place you’d like to frequent though, you know, knowing you’re from Houston! 😉 Oh, and I’m also out in the West End tonight…..(although I live here so it that isn’t that unusual!!).

We were in the Grosvenor cafe or whatever it is called now. It is lovely but it is also pretty big , I imagine it could seem a bit soulless at times . There was a DJ and he was playing loads of retro type music , it was a great laugh. There was 9 of us and we were on a long table just below the DJ, there was a group of asian guys at the other end and another group of really young guys across from us. They werent giving a damn up dancing to Abba despite the group of cool chicks sitting near them sniggering. We were all dancing away at our tables, then Paradise by the Dashboard light came on ! It was like I had been transported back to 1985 😁 I was a baw hair away from hauling myself onto the table . Turned out a great night. Hope you got your karaoke !
