The lyrics keep haunting me. The tune Keeps haunting me. Catchy, contagious, memorable. Didn't even remember the rest of the song or the group who recorded it. "Our House/ In the middle of our street..." I've heard those words referenced in all kinds of places by all kinds of people -- most recently on an episode of 'Psych' on TV. I knew that Uncle Dazz, had to dig into the YouTube archives to find this song. I seemed to remember an English accent to the lyrics too... Hold on you Dazzophiles who dig The Radio DAZZ Blog and The Dazz Man. I won't let you down. My research begins now. Sadly, I'm only a meme to you...

Oh - My Mum is in hospital and quite ill -- your prayers, love and positive energy headed her way are profoundly appreciated. She was there to help me when I was too ashamed to even ask anybody else while I struggled with all kinds of problems. Together now: "I love you, Mommy!"
