An odd little meme, passed on from Reynardo...

1) Find out the song that was #1 the week you were born.
2) Find that song on YouTube.
3) Post that video on your wall without shame

Well, according to the Go-Set Australian Chart for the beginning of June 19justneveryoumind!!, it was this... a song that belongs to Petula Clark, who apparently took it from Charlie Chaplin, though I'm sure he didn't say anything about it...

... That make the monotony of life easier for others to read about.

Snaffled from GinMartini...

Find & post 5 songs beginning with the letter allocated to you by whoever did it last...

( I was given W by Reynardo )

Post a comment if you want a letter to continue this with. Otherwise, just watch & listen & let the meme stop here...

Unfortunately, there's no video on Youtube of the King Crimson song which gave me my name... Ah well, go out & buy their album Beat instead...

Think of 20 albums that had such a profound effect on you that they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that, no matter what they were thought of musically, shaped your world.

Like others, I suspect, I originally thought 20 was too many. Well ( we shall see... )

Via SandyPaw, of whom I've previously said gets the best memes, one I couldn't resist...

( Did it! Done it!! Doin' it tomorrow!!! )

A meme... via aquandrian.

1. Comment on this post and ask for a letter. .. or don't
2. I will give you one... or not
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose names begin with that letter, and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ... or in my Comments section... or again ~ don't.

( I was given 'C'... )

Unexpectedly home... I should be grateful, as the expected was to be in Castle Hill being droned on at about slow-combustion fireplaces.

In the absence of anything exciting, I've caved in & submit a meme in lieu of important stuff... or stuff that's important to me at least...

Swiped unashamedly & unapologetically from GinMartini ~ who cheerfully admits she swiped it from someone else.

Wearing
- my 20-something yr old brown boots
- blue jeans
- blue t-shirt

Wishing

- I could see certain people more often

Today...
- I gave an employee a written warning
- I forgot to buy petrol on Cheap Tuesday
- I played King Crimson on the store PA system... I thought it sounded great!!
- is (Not Enough) Pay-Day Eve

Tomorrow...
- I have honourable intentions to walk to & from work (see #2 of 'Today')
- will doubtless be full of few surprises
- is the birthday of someone from my past. I just can't remember who...

Do life's little mysteries hold no fascination for people any more!!??

Here's yet another of those Too Much Information questionnaires... no thanks to Maelefic, who - now that he's apparently feeling healthy, was also feeling confessional.

( 40 questions!! Waaay too much information!!! )

Some more questions from that quiz whizzing around a week or so ago...

( These are from Reynardo )

I think I've already passed this thing on to everyone on my friends list, so the meme stops with me.
