Today random song words popped into my head. "Here we are Ramie, stuck in this old gold mine. ....just as sad as we can be, it seems like a long, long time, since we laughed and played together, you and me...how I wish that we could fly away, oh ramie. Sybal Sadie, I knw what you mean, felt the same way too. I wanna get back home again, just as much as you...."
It took me a while to work out where that song had come from. Somewhere from my childhood. I then had a vague recollection that it was on a Cabbage Patch Kids album. I had forgotten about this album I once owned sometime in the 80's when I was in primary school. Enter You Tube. I found the song, as well as numerous others from the record Cabbage Patch Dreams. Ah... the memories. I remember singing along to that album and playing with my cabage patch doll "Bridie". I also remember other favourite toys - Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, Care bears, My little pony.
Anyone else grow up in the 80's? What were your favourite childhood songs and toys?
I still have no idea why that song popped into my head, but it's given me a little chuckle for today!
Oh Wow!!!!!! Steph, do you remember we all sung that exact song on Year 10 camp in Handoff..... For whatever reason we all ended up sleeping up stairs in our cabin and randomly sang that in the middle of the night.... I sooooo hope you remember or maybe I am going insane :)
