I also love The Only Living Boy in New York! So I take it people give you strange looks when you admit that or sing along to it? That seems to happen most of the time, lol.
If we ever meet, I will totally duet on the Felicity song with you! I heart it so.
I also didn't know that TMBG covered "88 Lines About 44 Women"! Is it available on any album? I must hear it.
Ohhhhh I know I'm gonna have to steal this.
I keep thinking of the original Felicity theme: "Uhhh ehhh yuhh, ehhh uhhh yuhhh, euhh yeuhh yeuhh yeuhhhhhhhhh, euhh yuhh yuhh yuUHHHH uehh uehh uehh uehh eyuhhh... oy YOY yoy yoy yoy..."
Very nice.
:)
I may be the only person to comment that knows the words to The Age of Not Believing... that is one of my favorite Disney songs OF ALL TIME. And I have it on an album. Yes, an album. I can't play it on anything, but I have the album. ;-)
Great list!
Don't bother trying to explain why you picked "Kate" for me. I doubt they're smart enough to understand.
Zorak, I don't sing it much in public... but if I ever did, I'm sure I'd get strange looks, indeed.
Nabbs, turns out it's not them! You could've knocked me over with a feather. However please don't because ow.
Melissa, funny, it reads JUST like the Survivor theme song.
Greg, thanks! I'm emailing you, we have to catch up.
DCMM, you're awesome! I love Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Kate, totally.
You have the best memes/surveys over here. LOVED this one. And - I want to sing the Felicity song with you and Nabbs, too. :) Can you becommme? Can you becommme? A newwww version of youuuuuuu? Shit if that song doesn't make me want to go chop all my hair off, too. Then I realize Felicity's haircut pretty much marked the beginning of the end of that show, and I decide maybe just an inch or two off instead might be the best idea.
Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Elton John, yes?
