Musical Monday #22 - Star Trekking

Monday 12 November 2007 Dan musical monday 2

There are songs that have been released over the years which make utter one, single word...

"Huh?"

This is one of those cases. Waaay back in the dim, distant reaches of 1987 (heh, I was 10/11 years old!), this song kicked so much butt it wasn't even funny. So great was this song, it actually reached #1 in the UK Charts. It actually knocked Whitney Houston off the top spot...

Like ALL things that you remember with nostalgia, The Firm - Star Trekking is so bad you can't help but enjoy it. Well, in theory. It IS amusing, the video is ultra-dire, and even a trained monkey can pick up the words and sing along.

Stuart, this one's for you... You sad old geek you...

Stuart Wilson said...: Ahhhhhhhhh. You've just got to love that song - People go on about what a crap record it was, but it can't have been that bad since enough copies were sold for it to reach number one in June 1987!

Give me The Firm over modern day tripe that is in the current charts ANYDAY!!!

Hey, maybe they should re-release it to coincide with the release of the new Trek movie next year!!!!! It could be next summers party anthem in Ibiza and places like that!; November 12, 2007 9:26 pm

Welcome!

Welcome to 0ddness!

For the newcomers amongst you, this blog is one of my little corners of the web where I generally spout rubbish, rant and rave about minor things, share music I love (and can't stand) and generally put the world to rights from my little corner of the web. I might talk about something I've watched, my family, my aches and pains, an upcoming movie, the news... and then switch to the weather, the crazy idiot I met in the street and the speed of a cat when running for its life.

You don't have to agree with what I say or think, you just have to be polite in your discussion!

Aside from posting here (I would say on a regular basis, but it's mood/brain dependant of late) I also post photos on-and-off on my Tumblr page. There is literally nothing but photos I've taken via Instagram on there, and I am by no means artistic - I just like some of the pictures I take.

You can also visit my Last.fm page to see what I've been listening to while banging around the house. If you think the Musical Monday section is a very random mix of tracks, you ain't seen nothin' yet!!

And if you have eyes, you will also see that you can find me on Facebook (as well as the blog having its own page) and I randomly appear on Twitter just to moan or whatever.

Lastly, a common question I get is "How do I comment on your posts?" On the top of each post, there is a little speech-bubble icon with a number beside it. Click that number to enter "Comments" and away you go!

Welcome, enjoy, discuss!
