In my defense, I am a singer and lyrics just seem to stick in my head. Uh, yeah, that sounds good!  Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

My (actually "our", with my sister) first album, as bought for us by mum and dad
(*), was ABBA's
Arrival. Me, my sister, and the similarly aged brother-and-sister duo from over the road used to turn it up and and pretend we
were ABBA. I was always the one we tended to call "monkey-man" (Björn). I think I was about 6 at the time.
There's probably a connection between this and a favourite movie of mine,
Muriel's Wedding.
(* The first album I bought for myself was Devo's Freedom of Choice)
