Lionel Ritchie
"All Night Long" and "Hello"

Partly because it reminds me too much of school discos "last chance to pull" records, partly because of that video with the blind girl who does the sculpture (oh God, vom vom vom) but also because for some reason my dad (usually a groovy music person) decided to buy me a copy of Lionel Ritchie's Greatest Hits (You'd think it would be a very short CD) for Christmas.

I opened the wrapping and saw it. I managed not to look horrified. And placed it carefully in the CD collection. When my folks left to go home, it went into the charity bag to go to Oxfam.

My partner of the time thought it would be funny to let all my mates know.

They bought it at the Oxfam shop and gave it to me for my birthday 2 months later. The thing won't go away. It's still there amongst the CDs. Every time I try to get rid of it, all these watermelons go looking round the house and bring it back. I'm going to burn it tonight.
