    Ferris Bueller's Day Off was an huge flick when I was young, and it's a many-layered story.

    I was watching this vid, and realized that one reason I love this movie, is that it could be one metaphor for my life. I took the lead, did it my way, and have had one helluva lot of fun on the journey.

    By the way, if you're wanting a great 'wake-up' song, I recommend Twist & Shout .... it's a happy tune, and lots of energy. I also like Jump!, She's A Beauty and Free Your Mind. xx

    Is there any music that makes you smile? That says, 'yes, I like my choices'? I have lots; some are more dark, like All Apologies by Nirvana ... this is a happier tune. What's yours?

    Withnail and I, and that feeling that I've come on holiday by mistake ;)

    And this song is just pure joy for me.

    "It may go right,

    It may go wrong.

    This is the one.

    This is the one

    She waited for."

    That's frickin' powerful, love it! I can get the feelings. And as for the music, love retro punk Merci. If you don't mind, I looked up a version with the lyrics (hard to make them out, and love it xx), here's the link. Great band, great song, we're not worthy!

    Loved the Hendrix vid, and will look up the movie. I'm thinking, somewhat along the lines of Trainspotting? Good stuff. xx

    Oh, and this one from hometown gal Sara ... I will remember my friend K (always think of her when I hear this song); she's having a good life, I know ....

    My fave movie of all time.

    I've seen it over 20 times, and watched it many times with my kids.

    (For those unaware of the ending in Deadpool, [best movie since Avatar] this was it).

    I remembered some of these.

    "Beuller, Beuller. Beuller," is my standard shtick when I'm taking attendance in middle school and somebody's not paying attention.

    They have no idea what I'm talking about, but it makes me laugh and that makes them suspicious and maybe a little more likely to behave.
