I don't think I watch enough telly - I thought you meant the "I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops" theme - was wondering why anyone would have released that...

(I'm so not following your link! )

 

[Patience]

Ah, now I am confused cos I thought it was that too, and didn't follow the link... That is what I have in my head!

hehe - I googled Funkytown - apparently it's being used in the moons and stars advert - whatever that is! Funkytown is a song from the very early 80s - so we're both too young to remember!

Phew!!! I did follow the link eventually and I do know the riff... unfortunately... Lord only knows what moons and stars are. Clearly I am not watching the right stuff on TV!

Am currently listening to Fiona Apple to get all cereal related songs out of my head. Better steer clear of Tori!

Thanks Emma, now you've made me feel really old

Richard, I remember it don't worry.

(though only from the retro nights obviously)

The only things I remember from the early 80s were (in no particular order):

-- Ricky Villa's goal for Spurs in the FA Cup Final
-- Mirror Mirror (mon amor) by Dollar (my first single)
-- Shakin Stevens (numerous)
-- Uptown Girl (Billy Joel version obviously)
-- England failing to qualify for Spain '82 (football)
-- England getting hosed on by the West Indies (various years - cricket)
-- My Race'n'Chase (poor mans scaletrix)

But Richard, surely you're not old enough to remember it either?
