Sounds like you'd expect it to.

It is over.

It was a typical episode with the nearest thing to a highlight being by Berri.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I think I can guess what their other stuff sounds like.

The top end of it was like the Spaghetti Junction of saxophones.

At my primary school leaving disco, the one where I slow danced with three girls, when the DJ played the original '91 version of this song I went simply wild on the dancefloor.

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:That was a total waste of time.

It's not about the lyrics but the dance beat and synths.

It really is one of the "sexiest" videos ever, Michael introducing his naked white body to the world.

Plus the fact it's written by R Kelly.

Isn’t that the great unsolved mystery of the NHotW? I always assumed she was younger, but brought up in a house full of old Wings and Pilot albums?

by Butterfield Sat Feb 17, 2024 12:30 am

Well, I don't like to ~~discuss a lady's age~~ reveal someone's age, but I seem to remember her announcing her birthday and/or age many years ago in a certain other place, and it was very close to mine.

But then I don't think I've revealed my age for ages either. One doesn't tend to feel the need when one gets past about 35.

Apart from Nightjar.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Feb 17, 2024 12:33 am

I’m not really 17, I’m old, past it, and will be dead soon.

Even worse I’m old enough to know better, sad yes

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Feb 17, 2024 9:18 am
