Ball gone, Posy

The latest crazy 80s song I have fallen quite in love with: Gold by Spandau Ballet. They played this in one of the shops in Camden that K and I went inot, and it was so loud I sang along at the top of my voice pretty much, and no-one could hear me. K and I went upstairs where it was a bit quieter, and talked about what a good song it was, and then it ended and we said we wished they'd play it again. And then, they did. We think someone heard us, and put it on again in the hppe that we'd stay in the shop and buy somehting. Otherwise there's a vintage clothes shop in Camden that plays Gold on repeat. Possibly allt he time. Which is a pleasant thought.

In toehr news about stuff that is brilliant - I can't believe I never thought of it before, but I found Rescue from Midnight Castle, the My Little Pony special I used to watch when I was younger, on Youtube.

Cartoons for the win.

In other other news, I got a power bill yesterday. Which put a dampener on my plan to buy everything I could afford from Threadless. Hmph.

Until quite recently, I had that cartoon on video. I'm quite disturbed that I read your post header and knew exactly where it came from.

It rang a few bells for me when I heard it, and I haven't seen the cartoon in years. I think it's quite admirable you had them on tape. I'm suprised really at how good they still are, the main body of them. The endings are a bit pat, but I think a lot of it is easily stronger than anything that's been on Doctor Who, say, in the past few years.

Also there is singing. Hurrah!

GOLD! Always believe in your SOOOOUL! Da dah dah dah dah dah dah! You're indeSTRUCTABLLLLE! ALWAYS BELIEVE IIIIN! Dah dah

The only thing better than having a cheesey 80s song in your head is having a cheesey 80s song that you don't actually know the words to. The guessing makes it more fun!

Oh but I'm PROUD OF YOU, BUT I'M PROUD OF YOU!! In my head, on my mp3 player, sung at every available opportunity. It's all good. CHEESY 80S SONGS MAKE ALMOST EVERYTHING BETTER.
