Song Association!
I'm not sure where to put this, but I think it might be alright here!
What I'm propsing is choosing a song (past or present) and then putting a character the song reminds you of!
This might show you what I mean
Scissor Sisters- She's my Man- George Kirrin and Bill Robinson (MT)
Just thought it might be interesting!

Re: Song Association!
I suppose you think that's by The Bangles as well! (Well, I know it was, but not originally! )[Pippa-Stef:] A Hazy Shade of Winter- Five get into a Fix!
My daughter and I have those sort of conversations all the time. She'll sing something and say to me, "Do you know this song?" Quite often I will know it and I'll say something like, "Yes, it's Heaven by Bryan Adams" and she'll say, "It is Heaven but it's not by Bryan Adams - it's by D J Sammy." Or I'll say, "It's Mad World by Tears for Fears" and she'll say, "No, it's Mad World by Gary Jules." It's amazing how many conversations we've had like that. A few times we've been on YouTube and played the old and modern versions of songs just to compare!
Getting back to the game:
It's a Mystery by Toyah Wilcox - the Find-Outers.
And I've always thought that the boy called Jack in the Manfred Mann song which goes "My name's Jack and I live in the back/Of the Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls" sounds as if he belongs in The Six Bad Boys!

Re: Song Association!
Here's a great song for George Kirrin, Identity by X-Ray Spex. How I loved this band and still do.

Re: Song Association!
The correct song title is in fact Another Brick In The Wall. This was a huge hit back in 1979 and very controversal at the time.Anita Bensoussane wrote:We Don't Need No Education (Pink Floyd) - Elizabeth Allen in her rebellious phase
Absolutely! The lyrics sum up George in the first book of the series, Five on a Treasure Island perfectly.I Am a Rock, I Am an Island (Simon and Garfunkel) - George Kirrin
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Re: Song Association!
In that case, Another Brick in the Wall will have to represent all the Enid Blyton characters who are referred to as being "a brick"![Petermax:] The correct song title is in fact Another Brick In The Wall.
I remember watching the video of Another Brick in the Wall on Top of the Pops as a child. Other songs which have stuck in my mind from around the same era are Message in a Bottle (The Police), I Don't Like Mondays (Boomtown Rats) and Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles, I think.) I remember my mum explaining that I Don't Like Mondays was inspired by the true story of a young girl who went to school one Monday and shot fellow pupils and teachers. After that, that song made me shiver whenever I heard it.
Agree about the lyrics of I Am a Rock being just right for George as she is when we first meet her.
