[ButterTart]

Finland was quite nice, actually.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN?!!

 

[Madíson]

So - how famous was ONJ? Was she a household name?

 

[lolly]

Livvy really should have stuck with the rehearsal jumpsuit. RACY!

 

[ButterTart]

Boob rate sewn up early.

 

[Madíson]

Horrible dress

 

[dmlaw]

Position of death in the running order for poor Olivia. And it looks like she's gone back to pre-slut Sandy.

 

[ButterTart]

What in the risen shit has she come as?

 

[lolly]

So - how famous was ONJ? Was she a household name?

It's certainly post If Not For You and Banks Of The Ohio at least

 

[GinAg (39)]

So - how famous was ONJ? Was she a household name?

She was months away from American success.

 

[lolly]

What in the risen shit has she come as?

My Nan's spare room

 

[Madíson]

This is more religious than I remembered. Minus 10 points.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The frock is quite something.

 

[ButterTart]

The Gala Bingo Girls doing the backing vocals legitimately look less shit than Olivia does.

 

[Madíson]

Not keen on the honky tonk.

I quite like the song in the context of the show.

 

[ButterTart]

Nice song, mind.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The Pavillion gardens before anything was planted!

 

[GinAg (39)]

It's Eugene Levy.

 

[ButterTart]

! This is magic.

[GinAg (39)]

His microphone is IN his tie.

 

[lolly]

I don’t remember this being so much fun.

 

[dmlaw]

Spain should send flamenco style music more often. I'd suggest sending this guy again if he weren't dead.

I wonder if the Beatles knew that there was going to be a shitty piano version of their song in that postcard.

 

[Madíson]

The free language rule is so perturbing.

 

[Madíson]

"Final solution" isn't used enough in song lyrics.

 

[lolly]

Surely she must have given Livvy dress envy

 

[Zu]

Liking the expensive-looking postcards and charming music

(Yes I am sort of watching this )

 

[GinAg (39)]

This really isn't bad.

 

[dmlaw]

"Final solution" isn't used enough in song lyrics.

At least outside of early Ace of Base.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She's a TOTAL STUNNER

PHWOAR

 

[ButterTart]

Christ, why stop at one row of teeth?
