FUN FUN!

Whether it was hanging out in Sowelu's swimming pool all puberty stricken and lanky, remembering my sister and her girlfriends of the neighborhood dancing to it at Christine and Christina's backyard make out party (I was watching with Jim and Mike Sears in the adjacent yard!) or dancing (by myself) in my - non Madonna postured - bedroom...this song played each year - every summer - back in the eighties. Yeah I may be descending into time warp, but this song is CLASSIC SUMMER!

...and if you forgot all those lyrics, check this out! THE WORDS TO "Color My Love"

(The Ladies of Fun Fun - Antonelle Pepe and Angela Parisi ) Like, Oh My God Hot!

When I'm lost and down It is you that I miss Now, my love is somewhere Lost in your kiss and my heart is beating I need you, baby you can get me high, You can drive me crazy I need you, you're so funny, I love you 'cause you are sweet, honey Put me now in a new direction With your love and with your affection...


Colour my loveWith a flower or just a kiss Colour my love I see dreams when I kiss your lips Colour my love On a rainbow, just me and you Colour my love, your Love has a colour, the colour of my love is you


Well, there will be no one to take your place You can colour my love,my world, my space When you say you love me Looking through the window I can see the stars playing with the rainbow, Close to you there's no darkness When I am with you there is no sadness. Take my hand, I need all your protection And I will give you all of my love and passion Colour my love


With a flower or just a kiss Colour my love, Love has a colour, the colour of my love is you We can take a trip in a magic heaven Living in a fantasy Flowers everywhere Out in space and no cares Only you can get me high And can colour my, my, my Colour my loveI need your touch, your love, you're too much Colour my love With your good style, I dress me up Colour my love When I am with you all my dreams come true Colour my loveLove has a colour, the colour of my love is you

Oh my GAWD! For the past few hours I’ve been knee deep in my ‘Tanning Loft’ playlist finalizing it with some of my favorite classic summer songs. Of course, I dusted the cob webs off my Fun-Fun section, then went from there. Mental telepathy anyone? Then again, Fun-Fun always makes an appearance on my Summer Playlists!

Yes, ‘Colour My Love’ brings me right back to my ‘Sharp’ boom box (with ‘Double Cassette’). It was silver with dark blue trim. It was really skinny, but wide with a cool handle. I loved it – it was one of my favorites. I got it at Caesars Bay Bazaar (not kidding!) and Fun Fun used to BLARE out of it!

Then of course there was ‘Baila Bolero’ (also making an appearance this year), which brings me right back to Francesca and her 14 babies (hamsters) and the debut of Madonna’s new, cropped hair-cut and her ‘new, more grown up’ sound.

‘Happy Station’ and 'Living in Japan' were a later indulgence – that was the ‘Nick Kamen’ and ‘Have A Cigar’ summer – which are also all making appearances on ‘the loft’!

Does anyone even know what the fuck I am talking about?! ;) Wow, it’s late, and I have that ‘Music Wired’ thing going on. I need to go to sleep…
