This post comes under my blog aim of writing posts about "things that give me a warm and fuzzy feeling". And yes, just as most people roll their eyes at just how much a silly little girl I still am I am perfectly aware it's hardly a classic of our time.
Although in my humble and not remotely professional opinion, some of the songs are catchy, uplifting and just plain fun. And you can't knock that! Sorry you just can't!
It was 'Stick to the status quo' which inspired this blog post after it shuffled onto a male friend's (who shall remain nameless for the time being) iTunes - one of his proudest moments I'm sure. But it's OK, he only likes it because "it's a song about how fat people aren't allowed to hang out with the cool kids". Isn't he charming? Eugh.
Anyway moving swiftly on; why do I
It's the memories of course - plus maybe a little bit of admiration for the beautiful Zac Effron).
- I remember watching it first with 5 of my very best old girl friends when we were only 17.
- I remember the boys on a group trip to Scotland charging up the stairs in a panic when they heard us screaming - we were screaming at the TV as Zac Effron pranced along to 'Bet On It' and chanting 'OFF OFF OFF'. We'd seen the film who knows how many times but still thought he'd have a change of heart and start stripping if we shouted loud enough.
- Years later on a vodka fuelled Sunday in Edinburgh I remember drunk calling my best friend Jess AKA 'Zac's No 1 fan' when 'We Can Work This Out' was playing (another unfortunate shuffle incident) and two guy friends in the room (Ryan and Collins - since I doubt either of them will read this I'll risk naming and shaming) began a wonderful dance and sing along, they definitely knew both the words and moves to perfection.
There, I said it.
