My wife will have been in the UK for half her life this month, which sounds like a good excuse for a party. I've got a pretty decent playlist together of songs based very loosely on immigration and emigration, but there's not too many you can dance to.
What are STW's big crowd pleasers that have an even vaguely tenuous to that theme?
Words I think count as linked would include leaving, gone, forget, arrive, depart, going, alone and they don't have to be in the title, one mention in the song would do.
Cheers!
