Rather than having to deal with a Hook-Nosed Berk, you're stuck with me i'm afraid! So... what's new today then? Well... i decided to eat the leftovers from yesterdays Chilli and i'm now fuller than a Bishops Ballsack. Why on earth i'm filling myself with such heavy crap i don't know... i could do with dropping a few Lbs and that is no lie! After munching myself through Crimbo and drinking more than Mel Gibson on a weeknight, my figure has changed..... and changed FOREVEEEEEEER...... Nah i'll just hit the gym :D
I listened to an old cassette i found this morning, it had no label and i have to say i can't resist that... i get all excited and wonder what it is. After listening for a few minutes i came to the conclusion that i must of somehow came into possession of a tape that had escaped from Hunstanton's Fairground.... (Carnival for US Citizens). Hunstanton is my childhood seaside resort and a marvelous place it is too! It doesn't have overweight dart players with tattoos waddling about, smacking their kids to Limbo and back. Fuck the term 'Broken Britain'.... it should be "Bruised Britain!"
Anyway! The tape! The music on it was pretty much fresh of the Waltzers ride at Hunstanton.... these guys are particular offenders of using this tape.
These Hits include:
- All That She Wants by Ace Of Base
- Return Of The Mack by Mark Morrison
- Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze
- Gangsters Paridise by Coolio
- Red Red Wine by UB40
And the list goes on... Just youtube these songs and do yourself a favour if you've not heard them! Now, you can forgive me i guess for going on a beautiful and nostalgic trip to my childhood, where the only thing i had to worry about (really) was kicking Dr. Robotniks arse on Sonic The Hedgehog. Man i love that game! But the real thing i want to talk about with you, is... the 90's.
The 90's is a MUCH overlooked era. I was born in 1986, so growing up as a child in the 1990's was absolute Bliss. Food was still salty and loaded with Shit, orange juice glowed in the dark from E-numbers, Kids were still allowed to run around like Amphetamine abusers, breaking everything because it was to be expected with all the shit our parents were feeding us. Summers were still long and endless, the local shop still sold 'Atomic Warheads' sweets and Nightmare was on TV. We had Sonic The Hedgehog, Road Rash, Toe Jam and Earl, Desert Strike, and wherever you went there were SEGA and Nintendo characters EVERYWHERE. I even remember fights happening between groups of Fanboys over SEGA and Nintendos rivalry! It was crazy! (I'm a proud SEGA kid, Fuck You Nintendo.)
We had the best school discos in primary school, dance competitions fueled by pure nuclear energy from Space Raiders Pickled Onion flavoured crisps and fuckin' Calypso Juice Boxes.... we had the first appearance of Power Rangers too and all the other excellent TV that was on at the time.... Shit! I even remember when Sky Movies was ONE CHANNEL hahaha!
Anyway, to wrap it up, I know i made fun of these ride operators for using this music, but after the beautiful and fond memories i've had this morning, the fun and brilliant Journey through heart warming nostalgia i've been on blogging this to you, i hope the ride operators NEVER stop using these songs....
