Spitting Image: The Chicken Song




Marco Van Basten's decisive goal in the Euro 88 semi final against West Germany. Try to ignore the whoopsy tune: I remember this one hitting the net and me and my dad jumping off the sofa in delight. I think Grandad would have jumped about too if it hadn't been for his knee.



The song that first made me a fan of Kate Bush. Video loses most of its pathos when you realise that the husband is Captain Darling out of Blackadder Goes Forth.



Girlfriend in a coma, i know
i know - it's serious
girlfriend in a coma, i know
i know - it's really serious
There were times when i could
have "murdered" her
(but you know, i would hate
anything to happen to her)

no, i don't want to see her

do you really think
she'll pull through ?
do you really think
she'll pull through ?
do you?

girlfriend in a coma, i know
i know - it's serious
my, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye

there were times when i could
have "strangled" her
(but you know, i would hate
anything to happen to her)
would you please
let me see her !

do you really think
she'll pull through ?
do you really think
she'll pull through ?
do you?

let me whisper my last goodbyes
i know - it's serious
