'Turn Back Time' - Cher - for:
  • 1) George when her body treacherously began showing unmistakable signs of female maturation, while 8) all the real boys around her continued bossy, immature and boring.....
    2) Every Blyton reader, past his/her (first) childhood years, who discovers :cry: fiendish, unwarranted textural changes and transmogrifications when flipping through a favourite EB title that they have just found in a bookshop :!:

Here's a few for one of my favourite books, The Rubadub Mystery

Seaside (Ordinary Boys)
Perfect - Fairground Attraction
Monkey - George Michael
The Show Must Go On - Queen
Magic Moments - Perry Como
Bad Boys - Wham
Father & Son - Boyzone
Big Mistake - Natalie Imbrulia
Happy Ending - Mika



I also came across this song which is perfect for Anne, wonder who she's talking to (I vote for Julian):

Faces/Rod Stuart - You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Icecream, just asking, could you explain why you think that The Wanted- Gold forever goes with Darrell and Sally?

Just interested, as I can't find the connection myself. :)

Oh, yes. Thank you Icecream. I wasn't sure and couldn't hear anything when I listened to the song. I was just curious!
