A zig zag floor, Scooby Doo sat in one of 3 armchairs, a red curtain as a backdrop with two floor lamps and a Grecian statue between, & a man smaller than Scooby Doo is stood opposite him. Scooby looks shocked & the subtitles say “(yelps)”

I wasn’t sure if I’d dreamt the Scooby Doo/Twin Peaks* crossover.
I fell asleep on the sofa & woke up early enough to catch CITV, but I just checked my photos & saw that I’d taken some pics, just to prove it actually happened & I was a witness 🤣😂😅✨
It’s all part of the music making process, so sorry jerks, you’re making music.
It’s good to remember that even when you’re not actually making music, eg not playing an instrument, you can still be making music. Like, thinking about music is making music. And thinking about other stuff is probably also making music. And not thinking about anything definitely making music.
Who wants a bash at naming this number?
Fancy being immortalised as something frothy, sour and alcoholic?
Ok....GO!
I’ve got the (rather lovely) theme stuck in my head now, I’m happy to say 😄✨✨
Ohmygosh! So emosh! Gigs are right out for me atm but one of my friends just surprised me by video calling a couple of tracks from a Bunnymen gig for me 😭✨✨

I remember going to an under 18s disco & The Primitives - Crash was the token ‘alternative’ track, therefore the only track me & my friend danced to for the whole night. Obvs we made the most of it danced to THAT 1 TRACK & pouted in protest for the rest of the night 🤣😂💃🏻 💃🏻 🪩 ✨✨ #TOTP
Pierrot clown motifs were ubiquitous in the 70s/early 80s. Pierrot dolls/toys,duvet covers, pictures, bags, crockery, clothes, decorative masks, Leo Sayer etc etc. They were EVERYWHERE!! Tho’ probs easier to miss if you weren’t a girl at the time, which most were absolutely aimed at #totp
I just saw an ITV trailer that advertised a particular drama doc (I didn’t catch the name of it) as being a, “true story based on speculation”😅
Good to hear your ideas are appreciated 💡✨✨
Thank you, I hope you have a good shift 😄✨✨
