Whether urban myths can be proven to be true, false or possible
Interesting.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer. I won't be long before I'm off too.

Oops, yes sorry
From 2002, then famous singers doing cover versions of famous songs....Kylie on now covering *the Locomotion*
You know you are getting old when you can remember the original versions.

I'm wilting so I'm going to get off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams Moonie, Velvet and Ros.

Before my time.
Night night.
Good morning everyone
Sunny but on the cool side here.
Skylark, that's a shame that your granddaughter's holiday was cut short because of those drunken parents
I remember The Locomotion from when I was young. I don't know where I would have heard it as my parents would never allow pop music in the house. It might have been on Crackerjack.
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and chilly.
I've checked and I was 2 when The Locomotion was originally released, so I doubt I remember it from that time, but it must have been played long past its original release as I do remember it.
Window cleaning and other housework awaits.
Have a good day all.

Morning Buddies
Dull and overcast as opposed to the sunny start of the weather forecast 
Yogi, good luck with the housework. Oh and hold the ladder while Mr Yogi cleans the windows 
squiggle, Velvet and Skylark, hope you have a super day
El, have a good day
Btw, I have seen the original Locomotion on one of those very old TOTP type programmes
I haven't decided what I am gonna get up to yet
Good morning everyone, the weather is bright and dry - the forecast is for it to be so all day long but we just had a huge shower I hope the sun is shining on you wherever you are.
I hope all goes well with the housework Yogi, it's a great feeling when it's all done and dusted (see what I did there ) and you can settle down with a nice cup of tea/coffee/glass of wine and maybe a biccy or two.
Skylark that is just disgusting that selfish people like that could ruin the holiday for everyone else, I hope it didn't cut the holiday too short for your granddaughter and her Nana.
I am pretty sure I remember seeing Little Eva doing The Locomotion on Top of the Pops so I think I win the booby prize for being a golden oldie
Enjoy your day everyone
It's not very often I do this but can I recommend you have a listen to a version of an old classic, The Sound of Silence by Disturbed...
Don't be put off by the band's name or the appearance of the singer. it's just a brilliant version of a classic
It's in the "What are you listening too" thread btw
Moonie, yes Eamonn Andrews and Peter Glaze
It's sunny here and doesn't look as if there will be any rain today so I seem to be fortunate. Moonie, I hope it brightens up for you, and squiggle, I hope you don't get any more of those huge showers.
Squiggle, I think I share the golden oldie prize with you as I would have heard the Little Eva version when it was released
Good morning another sunny, cold day here- beautiful!
All talk here is of food this morning and it's making me hungry lol
how are we all today?

Morning Sweet
All is well with me ta muchly
I hope you and Bramble are in fine fettle
Moonie, that's a powerful version of The Sound of Silence and thanks for posting it. I associate it so much with Simon & Garfunkel in their soundtrack to The Graduate. Although I can't say that I like the film, the soundtrack is brilliant and the film, more than any other I can think of, is the clearest film which marks the end of old Hollywood films and the change to new Hollywood films. Mike Nicholls had wanted Doris Day to play the part of Mrs Robinson but she refused.

Thanks El
Doris Day?
Wouldn't have been the same, somehow
The ending of The Graduate:

and the ending of Morning Glory, one of Katherine Hepburn's earliest films:

although very different films, are both memorable and powerful in showing a change in emotion in only a few seconds with outstanding acting.
