I’m under strict instructions from my mother to “find a happy place”. Obviously I’ve reassured her that all is ok in my little land of make believe but she’s not convinced so, here is a happy post!
I’ve blogged before about my happy song (see mum, I can do it!) and this weekend I’m hoping it might get an outing. It’s disco time in the villages this Saturday: The lovely @karamina, or Rachael to us locals, aka marathonmummy, is organising a quiz and disco to bump her London Marathon fund raising effort over its £1500 target, and I will be dancing from the minute the quiz ends to the second my gorgeous husband lays down his headphones.
I hope those old enough to remember will have noted the cultural ref in the title of this one…..there’s no finer dancing movie than this:-

RIP Chris Penn
Ooh, I needed that this morning! Can’t wait for Saturday night. Must not fall over and break anything…must not fall over and break anything…must not…
I am singing away too
Love love love that video!
Thats a real feel good clip, and I sang along with it too 😀 Jen.
That os brilliant! Really cheered my morning up, fantastic. thank you darling.
oohhh one of my favourite films – I love the fact that Chris Penn really can’t dance and it’s so obvious 🙂
Aahhh, everyone needs a happy thought to make them smile – thank you.xxx
PS Love the music too!!!
you know you’re a child of the eighties when this puts a smile on your face! and who can forget the opening sequence with all the different dancing shoes? pure class.
I’ve got it playing again as I reply….bopping away x
Can’t help but smile! You should come to the disco….not sure *exactly* where you are, but you’re not a million miles away are you? x
Yay! One of my fave films EVER! x
I hope it wasn’t requiring too much cheering up….? But happy it did the trick lovely xx
Exactly! Kevin Bacon *drool* (ooh, that reminds me….plastic fantastic still to do) One of the best films eva 😉
No worries mum….can I go back to *dark* now? Please?
xxxx
I’m going to have to get a copy on DVD y’know…..owning the soundtrack is just not enough! x
I NEED to watch that film now! Wish I was near enough to dance…may have a little sitting room jig and raise a glass or two!
It’s a film that resonates so deeply with me….don’t get me wrong, I have nothing in common with the characters, but I was obviously at my most hormonal when I first watched it and i still LOVE it to this day.
Such a shame you’re not nearer, it would be fun! I’ll tweet a few songs and you can join in remotely 🙂
This is a great song, and I’m not even gay. 😉
You live and learn…. 😉
Keep repeating that mantra and you’ll be ok…. x
Oh I love that song!!
I have tagged you on my post today – it’s the meme we were talking about on Twitter last weekend. If it’s shit, just change it to suit you.
Love CJ xx
Have a great time, raise lots of money & wear yourself out dancing! Will be linking you to a music post later!

Thanks CJ…I’ve been over for a quick peep but must come back and comment…. not sure how I’m going to swing it, as OH does occasionally read, but I’ll sort something out xx
Thanks for the link Julia, the infinite playlist is a great one, although I don’t know how I’d decide on which to pick (if I got tagged). As you know, it’s not looking good now….dancing shoes may be off! xx
