Here we come  
Walkin’ down the street.  
Get the funniest looks from  
Everyone we meet.

Hey hey we’re the Monkees  
And people say we monkey around  
But we’re too busy singing  
To put anybody down!

We’re just trying to be friendly.  
Come and watch us sing and play.  
'Cuz we’re the young generation  
And we’ve got something to say.

Hey hey we’re the Monkees.  
You never know where we’ll be found.  
So you better get ready.  
We may be coming to your town.

These boots are made for walking  
And that’s just what they’ll do  
One of these days  
These boots are gonna walk all over you…

\*She comes down from Yellow Mountain  
On a dark, flat land she rides  
On a pony she named Wildfire  
With a whirlwind by her side  
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter  
When there came a killing frost  
And the pony she named Wildfire  
Busted down its stall  
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wiiiiiiiiiild-Fiiiiiiiiire\*

It’s just dog-goned heart breaking, I tell you. {sniff} That poor lil pony.

Usually I hate these threads. I am very musical and songs will stick with me. (Humming “Bad Touch” during a Latin exam was not apreciated, by the way.)

However, today I am listening to my new cool music. Techno is driving enough to overcome all of this. Happy Hardcore to be specific. I can get into a few bars of a normally annoying clingy song and then it all gets drowned out by this _beat_! Mmm…brainless pounding base…

Right, time to get nasty then…  
There’s something magic in the way you hold me in your eyes;  
no-one ever told me love could take me by surprise;  
I don’t know what came over me, you’ve got me hypnotised;  
When you look at me

You looooook at me, soft as any touch could be  
and suddenly, there’s magic in the way you look at me  
and suddenly you’ve got me hypnotised  
you  
loooooooooook  
aaaaaaaaat  
meeeeeeeee  
Yes that’s right: it’s the theme song from \*\* Joannie Loves Chachi \*\*!!!  
[sub] Incidentally if anyone has an mp3 of this I’d be eternally grateful - I’ve never been able to find it… [/sub]

"I remember to this day  
that bright red Georgia clay.  
How it stuck to the tires  
after the summer rain.  
Willpower made that old car go

Oh, how I wish we were back
