Just found this cover. This is probably the only time I'd willingly listen to Taylor Swift LOL

She does a great cover of drops of Jupiter

 

[Chipmunk]

And in that spirit,
Just in case some of you haven't seen it...I promise it's worthwhile. Also a short animated film

Watch The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse - Apple TV+ (AU)

2023 Oscar® winner: Best Animated Short Film. Charlie Mackesy’s bestseller comes to life in this beautifully animated film from NoneMore and Bad Robot…

I watched that the Christmas before last, haven’t read the book.

It was excellent

Maybe Taylor’s version was the original

Yeah, I'm inspired to watch it again after I watch the sequel you posted.

Was it?

 

[Chipmunk]

Was it?

No it wasn’t

She had that court case with Shake It Off didn’t she?

 

[MP_]

No it wasn’t

Haha no idea

 

[NaturalDisaster]

If thats the best of pre-2000, I would hate to see the worst...

(yes I know, I know it's not.. just chanelling my inner Plugger35 whenever we have a current year music theme)

 

[Stokey]

I was talking to por_please_ya and was surprised that the sequel for the 30th anniversary didn’t seem to be as well known in Australia. So here it is, enjoy!



Apart from for me and Stokey of course…

I've been to the Snowman show that plays at the Peacock every year. Kids loved it when they were younger but I've never seen more padding to get a 10min story to 2hrs.

The last time we did a similar theme (best of the 1900s) I won with Seal’s Crazy.

I wonder what will join its illustrious company.

 

[Stokey]

Boted.

Had no idea Crying at the Discotheque was basically a cover.

I couldn't unhear it during the song lol, it was a distraction.
