i just visited the mixmegapol homepage(swedish music station)
and read that everytime Marian hears the brake through song he thinks about pared potatoes cause he worked in a restaurant kitchen when the song was on #1 in the world charts.
i had to lay down on my floor and laugh..pared potatoes??

And his boss fired Marian because the song was played so often on the radio.... He did not like it... Can't understand that... Hehe...

I donīt think that Marian regrets beeing fired... What if he still would be a chef??
What would the Dreamroom be about then? The discussion of how to slice a carrot?:)

i think its cool that also Marian thought about to be a painter once..i wish that i would someday see something he has drawn..
thinking about how weel he can use his hands in playing piano,i might aswell think that he draws good too!

sounds a little bit like Big In Japan... same bass rythm, at least a very nice tune from the 80s.

I knew this song before I got to know AV... so back then BIJ actually reminded me of it. [smile2]
