nights in white satin

[pamela7]

does anyone wonder if this song is behind an aspect of their CD fetish?

[Teresa]

Pamela,
I have a feeling Justin Hayward wrote it for a girlfriend at that time .
I have it on the Moody Blues album , "Days of Future Past". It still a great album considering it was their first followed by a whole string of albums. It's still great to hear Justin is still performing and drawing great audiences !

As for a CD fetish connection well who knows ? All I know is remembering dancing to it with a French girl, what a night !!

Just checked Reine's link I wasn't far off, he was between relationships !

[Belle Cri]

Not much wonder, we used to talk about that all the time.


Really

Really

Stoned.

lol.

[Mink]

eh for me it'd be more about nights in PINK satin!

hehe!

or possibly back in the Dark Ages...

Knights in Silver Satin!

[Pat]

Simple, unequivocal "no." Never wondered that (to answer the question) and having had it brought to my attention find it completely unrelated to any part of my CD life. But thanks for asking.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Pam, Not sure but that is one of my very favorite songs.:daydreaming:

[ReineD]

I don't think so either. Here's what Justin Hayward said about it, see first paragraph in orange.

This reminds me of daily horoscopes. They seem to apply to so many different people who read them, because people read what they want into them. :)

[pamela7]

definitely confirmatory bias is alive and well in the world Reine, but also are imprinting experiences. I remember the song well from adolescence and "girls"/disco times - 70's. Then i remember buying satin sheets in Singapore in the 80's, and now i sleep in a satin nightie. Yes i'm connecting dots, but there's also something ineffable about the touch, feel and sensuality of cross-dressing, and I wonder if its more than just me, and it will be!

[Katey888]

No - never... :)

Not sure I have a fetish... was sure being a CD was something to do with this TG condition stuff we all talk about... :thinking:

And as I probably started my fascination for things feminine a year or so before the song was written and well before it charted high, it seems increasingly impossible...

But I do believe that the Hawkwind track 'Silver Machine' is why I own a silver car...

And it's thanks to ABBA that I am a bit of a 'Dancing Queen'... :D

But before anyone mentions Rolf Harris and 'Two Little Boys...' :eek: Or Gary Glitter and 'Do You Wanna Touch...' :facepalm: I think we should have the cd.com attorneys review this thread before we go further... ;)

[pamela7]

teehee Katey, i always liked "jake the peg" ;-)) so we're not in the glitter gang then?

i have no idea what's fetish and what's dysphoria right now, so pls excuse my wording, i'll get there someday.

I suspect that there is more to Bugs Bunny cartoons than the Moody Blues when it comes to influence!

[pamela7]

do you have a furry-feeling about that Angela?

[AngelaYVR]

Ha ha. No. But as I recall, Bugs did cross dress a lot. Watching these cartoons at the age of 4/5, the same time as I started "borrowing" clothes, certainly had me wondering.

[Sandie70]

Sparking a CD fetish, no. Sparking a makeout session, yes.

[ChristinaK]

I watch Bugs Bunny with my daughter a lot. MANY instances of crossdressing. I loved Bugs Bunny and WB toons as a kid. Hey, hmmm. Makes me wonder (not really). I still think Little Red Riding Hood was the sexiest toon ever made if anyone remembers that one.

But, I can't believe we're discussing a song over 40 years old. Just shows you how awesome that music is. It's always been one of my favorites, by the way. Especially the poem at the end. Was that a famous poem, or written for the song?

You girls know we're seriously dating ourselves!

[bobbimo]

Ha ha, I always thought it was Knights in white satin, and it was about the KKK.
So what do I know, I'm blonde anyway.

[LilSissyStevie]

I first heard this song in '68 although it didn't become a hit until several years later. I was introduced to the Moody Blues by a hippy chick that had thick black pubic hair that extended above her navel. I still have nightmares about it and can't think of the Moody Blues without thinking of her. LOL!

[pamela7]

i'm sure she's waxed since?!

[LilSissyStevie]

Maybe not, she seemed pretty proud of herself wearing hip hugging peasant skirts and halter tops. I shudder to think what she looked like in a bikini. But that's just my particular taste. I know there is a fetish for that sort of thing. But it's not one of mine. Anyway, my favorite song from that album was Forever Afternoon (Tuesday).

BTW, Days of Future Passed was the Moody Blues's second album. Their first album was The Magnificent Moodies and contained the hit Go Now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS3ixmsQgCk).
