"Might solve a mystery...
...or re-write history, Duck Tales, Wooo-oooh"

As a ten year old boy who liked the Pet Shop Boys a little too much, there was something about certain cartoon theme tunes that used to get me a bit...over-excited.

Jamie and the Magic Torch had an amazing rock soundtrack that was great to sing along to, but it was Duck Tales that really got me whipped up into a frenzy.

And so, alone in the living room at about 4pm one afternoon, the show started and I have no idea how this happened, but I jumped up onto the sofa, took a huge leap through the air and started doing an absolutely crazy dance, stepping my arms and legs diagonally in and out, and clapping to the rhythm in perfect, if camp, timing.

I was having the time of my life until suddenly the phone rang in the dining room and my mum answered it almost immediately.

Trying to dance and listen at the same time, I then heard my mum say -

"He's fine, just dancing round the living room to Duck Tales"

There followed me shouting "No I'm Not!" and a shame that still burns to this very day.

Like it
But now I have the theme tune stuck in my head. And will no doubt be looking around for other such wonders of my youth on youtube...

I, at the age of nine or so, got caught dancing to the Tweenies.
The shame.

...boy who liked the Pet Shop Boys a little too much...
