I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me

That Peter Bjorn And John tune is incredibly catchy, and I love the upbeat lyric from Distance "the sun always shines when you walk my way"
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately over here 'Young Folks' was used for a TV advert (DIY company Homebase) and I think P,B & J must have signed a very bad deal for themselves because Homebase kept using it for years (or what seemed like years!) I loved it when I first heard it before the ad, then got thoroughly tired of it, sadly. Such is the problem (or one of them!) with TV ads...
DeleteThe curse of ads, luckily I escaped it.
DeleteKeep missing Saturday Snapshots as been busy or away the last two weekends. Away this weekend too so will have to test myself later on without cheating and looking at the answers.
ReplyDeleteHope you are hanging on in there Rol and thanks for continuing to entertain with SS. (Like the new film star pictures too - a nice change for the play on words.)
