Desert Island Discs

For those of you who are unfamiliar with 'Desert Island Discs. It's a programme on Radio 4 where each week a famous guest has to choose the eight songs he would take with him/her, should he/she ever find him/herself stranded on a desert island. (It's all hypothetical so don't worry about solar powered cd players, food, rescue attempts etc...).
Out of those eight songs you have to pick one you couldn't live without.
As well as a copy of the bible and the complete works of William Shakespear, you get to choose one book and a luxury item.

1. Tubelar Bells: Mike Oldfield
2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond: Pink Floyd
3. It's Late: Queen
4. It Was A Very Good Year: Frank Sinatra
5. Mr Bojangles :Sammy Davis Junior
