Blub!

Tonight I was listening to iTunes on shuffle, and a particular song came on that I hadn't heard in a while. My first thought was "Cool! I can warble along to this!", so I started singing...

It had got to about the fourth line of the song, and my voice started to crack... and I almost started to blub...

And that's when I remembered... this song always does that to me. I don't really know why, but it does.

What? Why haven't I told you what song it is?

Because it's old and cheesy and I do try so hard to keep this blog about credible music (okay, okay... I fail more often than not, I know!).

What is it?

*looks around to check no one's looking*

*whispers* "Starmaker" by Kids From Fame (early 80's film and then tv series... ask your parents)...

Right... I've humiliated myself - now it's your turn! There's a comment facility here... 'fess up! What songs make you greet like a big jessie?

Another 2 F-words...

I am so in cheesy, kitsch dance-movie heaven (or hell, depending on your viewpoint) tonight...

For a start, yesterday I loaded the "Grease" soundtrack album on to my iTunes (What do you mean, "Why would you do that?"?), and tonight I'm singing along very loudly, and very tunelessly (and I keep forgetting the words to some of the songs)... complete with hand-jives, dramatic and emotive facial expressions (okay, half the time I look like I'm either cross-eyed, constipated, or both - but I'm kidding myself I could convey the emotion of "Hopelessly Devoted To You" much better than that Olivia Neutron-Bomb)...

Anyway, my other 2 F-words are...

"Flashdance" - the theme song by Irene Cara...

and "Fame" - Irene Cara again...

God, it's like the "Cheese" videos never left, isn't it?

The Cheese Interlude...

Sorry, Julie... you thought the cheese war was over, but I'm back!

"The Chicken Song" - Spitting Image...

"The Birdie Song" - The Tweets (It had to appear sooner or later)...

Sheena Easton - "9 To 5 (Morning Train)"...

Kids From 'Fame' - "Starmaker"...
