The other day...

Miss M: "This is a voice recorder!"
Me [looks up]: "It's a walkman."
Impish Girl: "What's a walkman?"
Me: *feels about a million years old*

ETA: After I wrote this entry, I [randomly] went to look up Right Said Fred on youtube...

*cue waves of nostalgia*

Still remember sitting up late on a weekend, listening to the official countdown on Longwave Radio 252 (already indoctrinating myself with English culture - and was there ever anything gayer than that band?), to find out if Deeply Dippy was still Number 1. I think it held the spot for... 4 weeks? And oh, 'I'm Too Sexy' was EVERYWHERE, and one of my friends bought their album (it was called 'Up'), and I only much, much later discovered that 'Right Said Fred' was originally a song recorded by Bernard Cribbins. And thus my life is all beautifully circular.

ETA2: OH GOD. Now youtube is giving me links to Ace of Base: All That She Wants. *cries*

and for no apparent reason -- the first song I learned to sing:

Knees Up, Mother Brown.

Followed closely by "Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor (on the bedpost overnight)" and "I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts"

I wish the BC version of Right Said Fred was in there, I truly, truly do.

Old Chick RULE.

We're like wine, or mahogany furniture...

Please be like Mahogany Furniture!

I loathe wine *urggh*

:-)

I... like both? But I'll happily be furniture if that makes you happy. :)

Speaking as someone who would not run very fast, or at all, if Honor Blackman took a fancy to me, I heartily agree ;-}

LOL Ray.
