So many memories with this one. Both from my clubbing days and from Ab Fab 😂
She is one in a million, so there's five more just in New South Wales 🇦🇺

Plus I was at boarding school. There’s a certain level of groupthink at that age when you all live together like that. By the time we reached our final year of school, I was the weird kid who listened to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the sex pistols a lot 😂

Many different ones for me but yes, it included Tiffany. I was her target market; I think I was 13 when her version of this song was released. I am record-the-top-40 on to cassette years old 😂

I actually don’t love this song as much as others. I do like it but Midge has just done so much, not everything can be a favourite. It didn’t make my fave 15 list 🤷🏼♀️

One of my favourites. I saw Cyndi’s farewell tour and it was a pleasure to see her perform this one.
There’s magic in the Night (@metricmarmalade.bsky.social)
A song that narrowly missed my #20songsbyyear #musicchallenge not because I particularly love it but because of how big and important it was. It also crosses with my #artistfave15 (and that of @withmusicinmind.bsky.social ) Also, Evri lost my 12 inch of this 😔 youtu.be/RH-xd5bPKTA?...
