imagine - john lennon
I played drums in my primary school band and our teacher, a fairly big lennon fan, made us play this.

unfortunately, we were quite good - as far as primary school bands go - and kept winning competitions and that.

as a result, I must have played imagine about a dozen times a day, five days a week, for something close to two years.

of course, all that wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the fact that imagine was a load of trite, mawkish, shite to begin with.

I hate it to this day and, if there was ever justification for shooting a man, that song is it.

also ...

the lighthouse family, m people or dido because it's all music for people who don't actually like music.

Gala - Freed from desire
Yes, she danced like a fudge on top of the pops, but I've got a soft spot for this one ... entirely due to the events of one Saturday afternoon at the football.

I think we must have chatted about the mentalist dancing in the pub beforehand or at work or something because ...

Half time - and the dj puts on Freed from Desire.

Without thinking, me and me two mates are on our feet, doing a vague approximation of the dance with great gusto and no little enthusiasm.

after a couple of seconds of furious grooving, I notice out of the corner of my eye that half the front row of the top tier are doing the same - apparently totally independent of one another.

and that, my friends, is the hidden power of dance

The end.
